The moment Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen's friendship ended: "We're too old for this shit."

Craig Hodges, former Chicago Bulls player and former teammate ofMichael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, has revealed the exact moment when the relationship between Jordan and Pippen, two of the most important players in the history of the dynasty, began to go sour .

Hodges, a two-time NBA champion with the Bulls, believes the controversy arose from Pippen's growth in the NBA and his comparison to Jordan: "I was under Michael's influence... he was like a little brother, but when he made the top 50, everything changed."

" I think, to some extent, that's still there, in that little rift they're both having... but, God willing, they'll bond again. Everyone has kids and grandkids now, man. We're too old for that shit," the former U.S. player acknowledged on the All the Smoke podcast.

Finally, the former Bulls point guard from 1988 to 1992 opened up about who he thought was better on the court and fueled the controversy between the two protagonists with his surprising response: "I think Scottie Pippen was a lot better than Michael Jordan from a more natural standpoint."
