On ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike In The Morning" Scottie Pippen adjusted his comments about LeBron James being the greatest player to ever play the game, better than Michael Jordan...

quote:
"The comments that I made were basically giving LeBron some props as a player, not to dismantle any player like Michael," Pippen said after a youth camp session at the Bulls/Sox academy. "We all know that he's the greatest player that ever played the game.

"I think it was taken a little bit out of context. I felt like I was drawing more of a conclusion from the statistics more than the accolades."

"I talk to Michael all the time," Pippen said. "There was no problem between me and Michael. I think [the media] chewed into it a little too much."

Pippen just mad because if it wasn't for Jordan nobody would remember his name.

Jordan fricked his wife and Pippen had to retaliate.

"Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to play the game. But I may go as far as to say LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game..."

Exactly how is that taken out of context.

Obviously, he realizes it was a stupid comment, but to blame the media is pathetic on his part.
