Part 2/7:
The discussion kicks off with the mention of Pippen’s book and his bold statement wanting to be remembered as the greatest of all time. As the conversation unfolds, it draws parallels to the release of "The Last Dance" documentary, which aired shortly after the onset of COVID-19 in April 2020. It captivated audiences by reliving Michael Jordan's storied career and Pippen's critical role within the Chicago Bulls dynasty.
Pippen's declaration invites scrutiny: was this a genuine belief or a marketing strategy for his book? The former NBA star asserts that it stems from a profound self-belief in his contributions to basketball and his legacy. He emphasizes his dedication to the game, reflecting on his roots as a walk-on player who tirelessly worked his way to the fifth pick in the NBA draft.
