Randy Brown, a former teammate of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, has challenged Pippen's recent claims that he and Jordan were never close friends. Brown, who was part of the Bulls' championship teams from 1996 to 1998, suggested during a podcast appearance that his firsthand experience indicates a closer bond between the two stars.
Pippen himself initiated much of the public discussion about their strained relationship, stating in a prior interview that he and Jordan "never were great friends." This sentiment was further amplified in his 2021 memoir, 'Unguarded,' where Pippen voiced criticism of Jordan's portrayal in 'The Last Dance' documentary. Brown indicated agreement with Pippen's view that some players were not given due credit in the series.
