You could argue that Pippen wasn't a superstar. But that wasn't the point. Shaq was calling Kobe out because Kobe couldn't do something that Shaq hasn't done either.
No, the point is Shaq has won a championship without Kobe...Kobe has not won one without Shaq. Argue about teammates all you want, but that's the fact.
Shaq has free license to diss him for life and nobody can say ****.. It's one thing to be jealous of a guy and want him off the team.. that'll happen.. but mentioning a guy's name to the cops in a matter that had absolutely nothing to do with him? That's unforgivable. No telling how much aggravation Shaq has been through bc of that.
He was a great player but he wasn't anywhere near one of the 50 greatest players of all time.. hell before Jordan started making his *** workout with him every day and toughened him up, Pippen was Lamar Odom. Very skilled but a reputation for being very soft and not coming up big in big games (the infamous migraine headache in game 7).
