Scottie Pippen chooses who is the greatest basketball player, and it isn't Michael Jordan

More and more basketball legends keep joining the side of LeBron James in the conversation about who is the greatest basketball player of all time.

And now the former Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen has bashed the player that many consider the NBA's GOAT, instead praising the Lakers star LeBron James.

"LeBron James will be the greatest statistical [player] ever to play the game of basketball. [Michael Jordan] was a horrible player." Said Scottie Pippen in a recent interview.

Currently, Scottie Pippen's son, Scotty Pippen Jr., has been playing with LeBron James as he got a two-way contract with LA and had his rookie year in the NBA even when he shined more with the South Bay Lakers.

LeBron James' performance in Game 4 vs. the Nuggets was insane

What LeBron James did at 38 years old, in his season 20, needing surgery, having a 40-point triple-double, and playing for 48 minutes in an elimination game is just ridiculous.
