Dominique Wilkins Took His Anger From Michael Jordan Out On Scottie Pippen

One reason so many people love Wilkins is because of his entertaining games against other all-time greats, with most of them being against Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.

In an interview with Basketball Time Machine’s Sean David, Wilkins was asked to speak on his rivalry against Jordan, and he also gave us an intriguing Scottie Pippen story:

Sean David: “Scottie Pippen recently said in an interview that he hated to play against you, because he always had the feeling that you were mad at Michael and you took it out on him. Is there some truth to that?”

Dominique Wilkins: “Probably, yeah… for that to come from him, it was definitely a major compliment. But yeah, he’s probably right. You had to have the same energy that Mike had. Mike had fire in his ass every time you played against him.”
