Kevin Durant should thank Scottie Pippen for REVOLUTIONIZING NBA’s power-forward position, claims Dennis Rodman

Rodman praises Pippen’s versatility and influence on modern players.

Michael Jordan has nothing but love for Scottie Pippen. In the documentary series “The Last Dance”, he calls him the best teammate he ever had and admits he couldn’t have won six championships without him. But Pippen has stayed quiet since the series aired, and sources say he’s unhappy with how he was portrayed. One of his former teammates, who used to be his enemy, has spoken up for him.

Dennis Rodman, who battled Pippen as a member of the Detroit Pistons before joining him and Jordan for the Bulls’ final three rings, wants people to appreciate Pippen’s greatness. He says Pippen was one of the best players ever, but he was overlooked by Jordan and his own low-key demeanor.

Scottie Pippen was a game-changer. He created the point-forward position. He influenced so many players today. Guys like Kevin Durant should be grateful to him. Scottie could do it all. He could handle, he could shoot, he could defend, he could rebound,” Rodman said.

Rodman and Pippen have a unique relationship, from being underdogs to rivals to teammates and now the stars of a 10-part docuseries. Rodman says he learned a lot from watching Pippen on tape and playing with him on the floor.
