Why are people hating on Scottie Pippen for saying LeBron James maybe the greatest player to ever play?

Because Jordan is some type of "basketball god" to everyone & they will freak out everytime someone says anyone is better than Jordan. James "may" someday be better than Jordan like Pippen said. He has a lot of things that he is better at than Jordan, Jordan is just a better scorer that's it but, they really shouldn't be making that big of a deal of someones opinion.
