Once again, Michael Jordan is attacked by Colin Cowherd for failing to win an NBA title without Scottie Pippen by his side.
Michael Jordan is one of the best in the game. The sports icon played in the NBA for 15 seasons in 3 stints and managed to amass one of the most decorated trophy cases the league has ever seen.
MJ’s stellar resume includes 14 All-Star selections, 11 All-NBA selections, 9 All-Defensive selections, 10 scoring titles, 1 DPOY, 5 MVPs, 6 championships and 6 Finals MVPs, among several other accolades.
It’s pretty apparent why the 6-foot-6 prolific scorer was considered the god of basketball.
Judging from this incredible list of accomplishments and his jaw-dropping mixtape, it’s clear why basketball enthusiasts considered the Bulls legend the consensus GOAT.
Despite being one of the most decorated athletes, “His Airness” is always criticized for not being able to prove himself as a winner without Scottie Pippen on the roster alongside him.
“Michael Jordan couldn’t win with other players”: Colin Cowherd
Although Michael was the most successful player during the 1990s, Air Jordan has always been mocked by fans for not being able to win without Pip being his teammate. Analyst Colin Cowherd is one of many who attack Mike for the same thing.
Last month, the $25 million-valued analyst spoke with Nick Wright on his podcast. Cowboy fixed how LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were able to win with numerous players and teams, while MJ couldn’t lift the Larry O’Brien trophy without Scottie’s help.
“The biggest blow to Jordan is this, how many playoff series did he win without Scottie Pippen? Kareem and LeBron won multiple championships with other players.”
“Jordan couldn’t win with other players, because of the style of Michael, you saw him often in Washington, you saw him in his first five years in Chicago, he didn’t play well with other scorers, he played well with Pippen, who recognized that it would be in the passenger seat.”
Mike haters will never miss an opportunity to bring this fact up in heated GOAT debates.
