Basketball Hall-of-Famer Scottie Pippen is taking his bashing of ‘The Last Dance’ docuseries world wide and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith isn’t having any of it.

Pippen is being joined by former Chicago teammates Horace Grant and Luc Longley on a trip through Australia to share their side of the story of the 1990s Bulls dynasty in a talk series called the ‘No Bull’ tour.

The six-time NBA Champion Pippen has vocally rejected many of the points brought up in Michael Jordan’s recollection of the Bulls throughout that decade. But Smith believes that Pippen will only end up with egg on his face.

‘Scottie Pippen is going to embarrᴀss himself,’ Smith said on Friday’s episode of ‘First Take’. 

‘Everybody knows he’s not Michael Jordan, he never was. And the fact of the matter is, no matter what he is offended by, the facts were the facts.

‘You saw what he did [by] not going in the game because Phil Jackson didn’t call his number. You know he’s a six-time champion, and Michael Jordan calls him his greatest teammate ever. 

‘But he’s doing this because he’s given resistance to what was portrayed in the documentary series. It’s a huge mistake.’ 

Former NBA center Kendrick Perkins pushed back on Smith’s ᴀssessment of the situation.

‘There’s three sides to every story. There’s Jordan’s side, there’s Pippen and his teammates’ side, and then there’s the truth. They could tell they side of the story,’ Perkins explained. 

‘The Last Dance was built to make Jordan look great. That’s why all these situations that’s been happening – like the booing of Jerry Krause’s wife that was unacceptable at the United Center – that’s because of The Last Dance. 

‘Let them tell they side of the story, because we wasn’t there.’
