Michael Jordan gives props to Scottie Pippen: 'Best teammate of all-time'

Michael Jordan gave props to Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen as ESPN dropped the first two episodes of the "The Last Dance" documentary on Sunday.

The two Hall of Famers won six NBA championships together with the Bulls, pulling off a three-peat twice in the 90's.

Many fans consider Jordan as the greatest basketball player of all time, but he was quick to share credit with his loyal teammate in Chicago. 

"I didn't win without Scottie Pippen. And that's why I consider him my best teammate of all-time," he said.

Pippen is a seven-time NBA All-Star, an eight-time All-Defensive First Team, and a three-time All-NBA First Team. His jersey number, 33, was retired by the Bulls.

"He helped me so much in the way I approached the game, in the way I played the game. Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak Scottie Pippen," Jordan said.

"The Last Dance" is a 10-part documentary series featuring the Chicago Bulls in their sixth and final championship in the Jordan years.

It was originally scheduled to be released in June, but ESPN moved up the release date following the suspension of the NBA games due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). 

Episode 3 and 4 will be released on Sunday, April 26. --MGP, GMA News
