Scottie Pippen got to play numerous seasons with Michael Jordan and knows exactly what it was like to be in his presence. Later this month, Jordan and the rest his Bulls teammates will be the subject a 10-part documentary called “The Last Dance” which will be aired by ESPN. The documentary follows the 1997-1998 Bulls who were looking to complete their second three-peat in the span eight seasons.
There was a lot turmoil surrounding this team at the time and this doc is supposed to showcase the trials and tribulations a team that has become just a bit too comfortable with winning all the time. Pippen was recently on ESPN’s The Jump where he was asked by Rachel Nichols about what it was like being followed by the cameras. As he explained, it was actually an incredible experience.
“Well, I mean it was awesome Rachel,” Pippen said. “For me, it was really everything coming to a head for us. A great run through the 90s. Dennis Rodman] had came and joined us the second half that run. That part was really the more special part because we were the best team in basketball for a long time and no one knocked us f. So, knowing that was the end our run and that we had to end it that way. We made it very special and we wanted to end it with a championship.”
The documentary will ficially be airing on April 19th so if you’re a basketball fan in desperate need some entertainment, we highly recommend watching this.
