alias: /usr/local/bin/pip3: not found, but .bashrc is correct

I am trying to create alias from pip to pip3. I followed this tutorial exactly. The section Don't forget to update pip to pip3! is what I followed.

I installed python3 through brew, and which pip3 gives me /usr/local/bin/pip3

I checked ~/.bashrc and it has the line below correctly.

alias pip= /usr/local/bin/pip3

But when I do source ~/.bashrc to apply the new code, it gives me 

-bash: alias: /usr/local/bin/pip3: not found

What am I doing wrong?

The spacing is very important in bash. Change 

   alias pip= /usr/local/bin/pip3

to 

   alias pip=/usr/local/bin/pip3

It will work fine.
