During the interview, Pippen looked back on his career alongside Michael Jordan, with whom he conquered one of the greatest sporting dynasties of all time. Although he acknowledged that his personal relationship with Jordan was never very close, he did highlight the on-court chemistry that made them unstoppable during the 1990s.
