His announcement earlier this year that he would be publishing a tell-all account of his time with the Bulls was striking for a player who’s rarely gone in depth about his past. ![]() Pippen is tired of playing the second fiddle. All of that renewed focus reminded us of a familiar dynamic: Michael as the hero and Scottie as the sidekick.
