DID YOU KNOW: Madonna rejected Jordan for Pippen
Many have tried to paint a picture of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen as reluctant teammates, where jealousy and bitterness brimmed below the surface. The truth is they were actually very close off the court.
Pippen and Jordan together defensively was the most devastating duo as there will ever be. They will probably be remembered as one of the best duos in NBA history.
One of the aspects that made them so successful is the fact Michael Jordan was notoriously competitive in every possible activity, whether it came to Game 7 of the NBA Finals, a card game, golf game, even the size of his hands (Michael always claimed he had bigger hands than Scottie which clearly is not true).

According to Bach, whenever the Bulls were in LA, Madonna would pick up Scottie in a limo complete with a hot tub.
Michael clearly did not like how Pippen got to spend “quality” time with the most famous woman on earth and used to tell Madonna he could satisfy her better than Pippen to which Madonna apparently replied, “not a chance.
MJ was a fierce competitor both on and off the court :)
