Scottie Pippen Says “Michael Jordan Ruined the Game of Basketball” in New Memoir
The latest saga in the Scottie Pippen-driven feud with Michael Jordan, Pippen has now released his new memoir, Unguarded, revealing a slew of controversies. The six-time NBA champion and former teammate of MJ continues to try to defame Jordan by calling him an ungratefully selfish player. He also goes into detail targeting Charles Barkley and Isiah Thomas. According to an excerpt from Pippen’s book, the former Chicago Bulls forward seems to be opening up old wounds writing, “I may go as far to say Mike ruined basketball. In the 80s on the playgrounds, you’d have everyone moving the ball around — passing to help the team. That stopped in the 90s. Kids wanted to be ‘Like Mike.’ Well, Mike didn’t want to pass — didn’t want to rebound, or defend the best player. He wanted everything done for h...
Wolves eyeing move for £35m Manchester United midfielder
Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested to sign Donny van de Beek who is currently on the books of Manchester United. The 24-year-old joined the Red Devils in the summer of 2020 from Ajax in a deal worth £35 million.

Since his arrival in Manchester, the Dutch footballer has clocked up 41 appearances across all competitions, with a goal and two assists to his name. Now he could depart the Theatre of Dreams this January transfer window in search of regular football action. According to Birmingham Live, Wolves are eyeing a deal for Donny van de Beek. While Everton and Newcastle United have also been linked wi...
Norwich City set to appoint Dean Smith as new manager
Norwich City are set to name Dean Smith as their new manager, according to the Guardian. It is said that the 50-year-old has reached an agreement with the Canaries to take over at Carrow Road. The Premier League outfit sacked Daniel Farke this month after he led the Yellows to a terrible 2021-22 season start. The Norfolk based side are currently at the bottom of the league table, securing only five points from 11 matches. Smith, who is set to pen a two and a half year deal, now has a huge task to help Norwich survive in the English top-flight. The 50-year-old lost his job at Aston Villa earlier this month after he failed to deliver results at the Lions. The Birmingham based side lost five consecutive league matches under the English boss to drop do...
