What exactly was Scottie Pippen thinking?

This obviously was a ploy to get off whatever resentment Pippen has towards Jordan. Pippen can't realistically think LeBron is even close to MJ, especially with 0 rings. LeBron isn't even close to Kobe's level, and he is not as good as his own teammate Dwyane Wade. Lebron had to join Wade's team to even get to the finals again. LeBron only led Cleveland to one NBA Final, in which he got swept. Wade won a championship, carrying the team with an aging Shaq. Even if LeBron wins this year, so what? That is only 1, compared to Kobe's 5, Jordan's 6, and Wade's 2.
