Naive, bitter, sad, embarrassing, confusing, jealous, petty, aggrieved, spiteful.
Those are just a few words when it comes to word association with Scottie Pippen and his new book âUnguarded.â The book was released on Tuesday.
Pippen sounds like all of those things, most notably when he goes after former teammate - and former friend? - Michael Jordan.Â
Pippen is unhappy with his depiction in the ESPN-Jordan documentary âThe Last Dance,â which first aired in the spring of 2020 while the NBA was on its COVID-19 hiatus. He feels slighted and wants to settle scores in the book.
âHe couldnât have been more condescending if he tried,â Pippen wrote of Jordanâs role in âThe Last Dance,â adding, âNow here I was, in my mid-fifties, seventeen years since my final game, watching us being demeaned once again. Living through it the first time was insulting enough.â
Pippen is in the midst of a media tour to promote and sell more copies of the book, out today from Atria Books, a Simon & Schuster division.
An excerpt of the book and a video Q&A ran in âGQ,â âThe New York Timesâ published a Q&A with Pippen and he appeared Monday on NBCâs 'Today.'
