SCOTT Williams has seen enough of the beef between Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Williams, 55, began his career with the Chicago Bulls and played alongside the NBA legends from 1990-1994.

The 6-foot-10 power forward would be part of a team that built a dynasty around the talents of Jordan.
Williams won three straight NBA titles with the Bulls as he served as a bench contributor.
And the North Carolina product left the Bulls in 1994 and would continue to be a front-court reserve for the rest of his career, playing for six other teams.
He retired in 2005 and during his 14-year career, Williams scored 3,825 points at an average of 5.1 per game from 746 appearances.
Hall of Famers Jordan and Pippen would win six rings together with Chicago.
However, since the documentary The Last Dance aired in 2020, Pippen has thrown criticisms at Jordan.
Scottie wasn’t a fan of the way he was portrayed in the documentary.
And he most recently called Jordan a “horrible player” while praising LeBron James as the “greatest statistical [player] to ever play the game of basketball.”
Williams has taken notice of the feud between the two Bulls legends.
“Yeah, it’s been sad for my heart to really see and listen to some of the things that have been going on with Scottie,” Williams told Hoops Hype in June.
The 55-year-old Williams is hopeful that Jordan and Pippen can make up, especially with the 30th year anniversary of the Bulls’ third championship of their dynasty in 1993.
“I just try to stay in my lane and let those heavyweights battle those types of things out, but I hope that they find some time to pick up a phone or sit down together and work it out,” Williams said.
He continued: “Because this is the celebration of the 30th year of the 1993 threepeat championships.
“And I was so looking forward to either from a team standpoint, organization standpoint, or just a bunch of guys getting together at an undisclosed location and just breaking some bread and talking about those stories, having a reunion.
“And that’s just not happening with the current temperature right now between the two superstars honestly.”
Since his retirement, Williams has coached in the NBA Development League and NBA.
Currently, he’s the color analyst for the Grand Canyon Antelopes men’s basketball team.
