Scottie Pippen

And I think that's where a lot of the fans lost interest. in the game.

I felt like David Stern era, he ran the game. I think Adam Silver's era, he's more or less allowing the players to have some input in terms of how the rules of the game are changing.

Well, it looks like it's pretty bad right now. Oh, interesting. But I think... From a standpoint of players being healthy, those are some precautionary measures that they've taken in the game where players don't like to play back-to-back. So I think it's a lot of things. I definitely feel like the three-point shot has turned fans away from the game because it's just no –

I definitely feel like the three-point shot has turned fans away from the game because it's just no –

No teamwork in shooting a three-point shot. There's no teamwork in coming down and taking a shot from behind the three-point line. But there's teamwork in coming down and executing a play. Everybody touches the ball, and you get a bucket out of it, whether it's a two or a three. But... is something that drew fans, drew people to love the game, to love certain teams that played a certain way.

And I don't think you see that in today's game. I feel like the last team that played with that kind of chemistry was the Golden State Warriors. They had sort of a team chemistry where they moved the ball, but it was about a lot of jump shooting, a lot of three-point shooters, but they had the greatest shooters ever. in the history of the game.

And they had the greatest shooters in the game at that time. So it was a great sight to really see a great team executing, playing together, and shooting the three-point shot. Well, in today's game as we watch it, we don't see that great team chemistry of – a team that has been doing this and have longevity of success. So it makes it hard for you to lock in and like what you're seeing.

I would definitely say that's fair, but I would give a lot of the credit to Michael Jordan because of the, the fact that he had created something with the Chicago Bulls and that myself and other guys that came along, we built up on that. And it became, in the late 90s when we got Dennis Rodman on the team, that we were, or people looked at us as a rock band. And when we came to different cities,

We had that kind of feeling that, you know, we had to put on a show. We had to perform. And that's why when you look at those teams, especially my bull teams back there, there were no days off, you know. Guys came to play where they were injured, sick, no matter what, because we felt like that we had to perform and that there were people coming out to watch us perform.

Well, I can say in today's era, especially with social media, players allow the public to know their personal things, whether it's political, financial, family, whatever. They allow the public to get involved in it. So when you asked me to make that comparison, With Michael or LeBron, well, Michael never put himself in that position. I mean, his words speak for himself, for itself.

I mean, he's never going to put himself in a position where you know his political thinking, his political mindset. he stays away from that. He's a basketball player. He's not a politician. He's not one that's going to get involved in any kind of debate. He's going to focus more on playing basketball and what it takes to win championships. And that's all he's going to speak around.
