It discusses the impact of flattery on Scottie Pippen's reputation, particularly in relation to Michael Jordan and the documentary 'The Last Dance'.

Scottie Pippen went from being the top 50 greatest players of all time. Your book comes out. The guy asks you, how do you want to be remembered? I want to be remembered as the greatest. You ain't the greatest, stay with the greatest. Why are you undermining Michael? The Last Dance wasn't about us. It was only about Michael because Michael's the goat. We watched the Last Dance for Michael. We didn't watch it for you. You're the best Robin ever. But someone behind closed doors told Scotty Michael would have never won because of you. Michael doesn't give you enough credit. Whoever fed that flattery into him is what caused him to lose his reputation.
