He said: "When Kobe had three rings - you didn't treat him as a three-time champion player at the time. He was treated as an assistant, considered Robin, considered the next Pippen. In 2002, he had three rings, and we were comparing who was better in the league. You can't let the NBA say which one is better."

" So if you sit there, have three rings, but you're still comparing with someone without rings, you think it's happening. What? I need personal achievements. Can you remove Shaq? Right? Because if it were about the ring, there would be no crack between him and Shaq. The crack is because you only respect the people who drive, no one respects the passengers who got the ring. Right? No one says that, but the person who leads the team is the gold medal. That ring counts. The second choice of ring is the silver medal. No one respects it. In history, no one has respected it. Pippen has six rings and ranks 32nd on the historical list, right? Some people who don't have rings are ahead of him. "
