6-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen in an interview with the Guardian<\/a> spoke of the docu-series The Last Dance.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think it was that accurate in terms of really defining what was accomplished in one of the greatest eras of basketball, but also by two of the greatest players \u2013 and one could even put that aside and say the greatest team of all time. I didn\u2019t think those things stood out in the documentary. I thought it was more about Michael trying to uplift himself and to be glorified [the series was co-produced by Jordan\u2019s Jump 23 company]. I think it also backfired to some degree in that people got a chance to see what kind of personality Michael had”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On racial justice in America professional sports:<\/p>\n

Equality would be: how about we get some black owners? That\u2019s equality. Michael Jordan owns one professional team. In America professional sports as a whole, there\u2019s just one team [owned by an African American]. That\u2019s not equality. Look at the head coaches throughout sports. We are far away from equality. All these owners they hid and shut it down when people started talking about equality. I\u2019ve never heard the commissioner say we\u2019re going to create more opportunities for black owners in our game. I think this is going to get kicked down the road.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
