Six-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen caused a stir among sports fans Friday morning after saying LeBron James may be better than his longtime teammate and five-time league MVP Michael Jordan.
“Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play in the game,” Pippen said, “but I may go so far as to say that LeBron James is the greatest player to ever play the game.”
Pippen’s comments aired on ESPN Radio’s “Mike & Mike” show a day after James’ Miami Heat beat the Chicago Bulls 83-80 to advance to the NBA Finals.
