Shannon Sharpe accused Scottie Pippen of “flopping” because of his latest comments about Michael Jordan.
Pippen recently revealed that he thinks Jordan is “the greatest player definitely in basketball” after previously saying the opposite.
On his Nightcap show, Sharpe said that Pippen needs to stick to one opinion, regardless of what he thinks about the man.
Even if Pippen and Jordan don’t get along, the Chicago Bulls star should still be honest about Jordan’s greatness, Sharpe said.

Pippen was recently in Australia for a number of speaking engagements when he stopped by the Today television show and opened up about his opinion on Jordan.
He said that his former teammate is the greatest basketball player but also added that the success of the team was because of the whole roster and not just Jordan.
Recently, Pippen was reportedly unhappy with how he was portrayed in the Jordan documentary “The Last Dance.”
But he is apparently much more comfortable with that documentary now too, telling Today that it was “a special moment for us to really relive some of the greatest times in basketball history and more so have an opportunity to see what the team was like.”
It sounds like Pippen has made peace with Jordan and the documentary and is much friendlier about the whole situation.
Pippen and Jordan did amazing things together while playing for the Bulls but things haven’t been smooth after the NBA according to most reports.
But all these years later, Pippen is softening his stance and agreeing with many others by saying that Jordan is the best to ever play in the league.
If he “flops” again about this view in the future, Pippen can be sure that Sharpe and many others will call him out.
