Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were a dynamic duo on the basketball court, helping deliver six NBA titles for the Chicago Bulls in the 90’s. But since then, the relationship between the two has certainly strained.
While neither have fully come out and said it, there’s certainly a feud between the two sides. That was ignited when Jordan’s son dated Pippen’s ex-wife Larsa recently before breaking up. The two haven’t been together in a long time with Pippen skipping out on the NBA’s 75th anniversary event just a few years ago. The release of “The Last Dance” also fueled this feud some more but things have been quiet in terms of the feud.
That is until now.
Scottie Pippen appears to take dig at Michael Jordan
Pippen appears in a new commercial for Mr. Pibb, promoting the soda with a unique angle of being “second best”. Pibb is referring to being similar to Dr. Pepper but never getting the shine. And you can see where this is going……
“When something has been considered second-best for so long, we just blindly accept it as gospel,” Pippen says in the commercial. “A decade-long plot built on marketing, social media and multi-part documentaries.”

There’s no direct reference to Jordan but it’s clear who Pippen is talking about and what the commercial is aiming for. He ends it by saying “Pipp is the GOAT” while doing a documentary-like sit down for the commercial.
It’s pretty creative and the brand certainly knew what they were doing. Will Jordan respond? Don’t bet on it, his focus right now is on winning NASCAR races.
