But the documentary ended up being all about the one and only Michael Jordan. Scottie Pippen, a six times NBA champion did not appreciate it, he wanted it to be more about the team rather than Jordan\u2019s college basketball career and his baseball career. Pippen\u2019s memoir \u201cUnguarded\u201d will be released on 9th November but some excerpts have been released where he showed his remorse towards how he and his teammates were just mere supporting cast.<\/p>\n<p>According to GQ, the excerpts say that the documentary was to show how Jordan was great and condescended to his teammates by not giving them enough credit. Jordan was to be blamed for it because the director gave the final rights to Jordan to sign off on when the documentary will be released and what will make it into the final cut. Even in the 2nd episode where it showed the upbringing of Scottie Pippen, it ended with the narrative of how determined Jordan is to win. He was nothing more than a prop and being called the \u201cbest teammate of all time\u201d by Jordan could not have been more condescending even if he tried.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On second thought, I could believe my eyes. I spent a lot of time around the man. I knew what made him tick. How naive I was to expect anything else<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pippen also spoke to many teammates afterwards and all of them felt disrespected of they were being treated as just props or side stories in the documentary. The Memoir will be released on 9th November and it will unveil the full side of the story from Scottie Pippen and other players who felt disrespected by the documentary.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Scottie Pippen\u2019s problem distilled down to one sentence. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ig9TZ1yPAf\">pic.twitter.com\/ig9TZ1yPAf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 holdTHElettuce (@hold_th) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hold_th\/status\/1455563358137167880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scottie Pippen will release his memoir \u201cUnguarded\u201d on November 9th in which he discloses his opinion on the Last Dance documentary and says \u201cHe couldn\u2019t have been more condescending if he tried.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":220,"featured_media":38346,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2189,890,275,826,2824],"class_list":["post-17602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-bulls","tag-memoir","tag-michael-jordan","tag-nba","tag-scottie-pippen"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/220"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
