Pippen is currently on his ‘No Bull’ tour in Australia with ex-teammates Horace Grant and Luc Longley for a series of public appearances to celebrate Michael Jordan, the club’s six NBA titles and the controversial ESPN documentary about those teams, The Last Dance, to be discussed. .
Pippen, a Hall of Famer, was a member of all six of the Bulls’ title-winning teams. Grant won three championships in Chicago before moving to Orlando as a free agent in 1994, when Longley joined the Bulls en route to the club’s second three-peat of the decade.
The No Bull tour promises to revive recent criticism of the documentary, which Pippen and other former Bulls say was beneficial to Jordan, who reportedly negotiated the project’s “final cut.”
Pippen and Jordan have been at odds since the release of ESPN’s 2020 docuseries about the 1997-98 Bulls, The Last Dance, and things only got worse when Jordan’s adult son, Marcus, started dating Pippen’s ex-wife Larsa.
