“Nails” Pipen to Jordan: “I played with a crumpled waist and they say about his… flu game, come on dude”

The against which is clearly open now with him Michael Jordan continued – in an even more emphatic way – o Scotty Pipen. In an excerpt from his autobiography that was released a few days ago, “The Indian”… exploded the NBA legend about how hated everyone else in “Last Dance”.

In interview which he therefore granted for the promotion of his book, threw even more arrows to his former “dark”, on the occasion of the infamous «flu game» (s.s. the fifth final of 1997, where “Air” played with the flu and led the Bulls to victory over the Jazz, succeeding 38 points).

He therefore referred to the fact that he himself played in game 6 injured in the middle (and returning to the floor with obvious pains after 20 minutes in the locker room) saying features:

“I would not play in Game 7 (if it were possible), simply I was not able to play. I knew from Saturday that I would endure at most one more game and at the start of the match I received a push from Malone while I was nailing. This brought me to my limits for the whole game.

I ran to the locker room to get it cortisone, patches, anything that could relieve me so that I can continue. In no case I could not play in Game 7 “.

So when he was called, to compare his own case with that of Jordan, he replied visibly annoyed:

“She is the confession on the subject. I will ask you the following: It is easier to play with intervertebral disc herniation or with the flu? I do not see any reference to “bad back games”, but I see a reference to “flu games”. Flu… Come on, man».

“I don’t see many bad-back games, but I do see flu games.” @ScottiePippen compares his back injury against the Jazz to Michael Jordan’s infamous “Flu Game.” Hear more on @SiriusXMNBA. https://t.co/vZSAKED5NR pic.twitter.com/65Q21Dgig2
