Barkley:
"For him to want to leave after one year, it disappointed me greatly.The Rockets went out of their way to get Scottie and the fans have treated him well, so I was just disappointed in him."
Pippen:
"I wouldn't give Charles Barkley an apology at gunpoint,He can never expect an apology from me. ... If anything, he owes me an apology for coming to play with his fat butt.
He's a very selfish guy.He doesn't show the desire to want to win. That's my reason for wanting to get away from playing with him anymore because he just doesn't show the dedication.
I probably should've listened to Michael (Jordan) a year ago when he said that Charles will never win a championship because he doesn't show any dedication.
I was very shocked to see what type of player he was by spending half a season with him.I'm a guy that's dedicated to winning, and I put out a lot of effort on the court. I expect that from my teammates, especially from a guy of his caliber.
You know he's not willing to go the distance. There's no reason for me to put my last three or four years at risk of never winning.
Charles is definitely one of the guys that needs to show more leadership for this ballclub to be successful, and he don't show that to me. ... He feels that if he gets 10 rebounds and double-figure points, he's done a good job. But that's not what the game's about. It's about defending, being professional and coming to work every day."
