The second installment of The Last Dance — the 10-part ESPN documentary focused on the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan — focused on Jordan’s sidekick, Scottie Pippen, and the positively awful contract the star signed that paid him $18 million over five years.
Yes, Pippen — one of the greatest players ever to suit up — was woefully underpaid, as the documentary pointed out. But as Pippen’s ex-wife Larsa pointed out on Twitter in response to all the negativity surrounding the Hall of Famer, the forward ended up making over $100 million in his career.
So, sure: he could have made more. But he’s doing just fine:
Indeed, per Basketball Reference, Pippen made over $109 million, with (spoiler alert, I guess?) him signing a five-year contract worth $67.2 million in a sign-and-trade with the Houston Rockets.
