His voice is great
He never used to sound like this
Along with Morgan Freeman and David Attenborough 😁😁

Scottie is still a killer defender. Listen to his mindset, "start guarding him from the parking lot. Make him work."

@@Kurruchi being big has nothing to do with being fit
Not every forward was dunking over centers
I remember this episode. . The funny thing is the next day the Rockets had a game and the team that they played did exactly what Pippin said. If I'm not mistaken, James Harden finished that game in the low 20s in points. 💯
9-256
@Not Mick Blotters thank you. I didn't remember what team it was.
Who score it 20 points. Or low in this sisi nba era most be play with childs in the park..
Dude in this era everytjing is more easy ..even the guard looking you straigh on your eyes most be call a personal foul..
Harden is a genius. He can change his game and find other ways. Do you really think he hasn't faced that approach in all those years and Pip was the sole genius to think that?
As T-Mac said and Pip agreed, the truth is when a scorer gets it going we know he's unstoppable.
Look at Lebron, Durant and Harden.
The thing of his team in playoff is that his roster lacks the gas to keep it going against tough opposition. Harden won't give you 70 and steal every game. The guy is already overloaded. Give him a break.
And then Ricky Rubio proves his strategy wrong by failing to guard Harden 🤣
People forget that Scottie pippen is the greatest perimeter defender of all time
Caleb Perkins or Jordan but Scottie wouldn’t be a bad choice
Yup Jordan was a beast as well as a perimeter defender
Caleb Perkins and it’s not even close

Great segment with no host or "analyst" that never played the game.
I agree with you that this is a GREAT segment, but it's because they are sharing the intricacies of ACTUAL basketball approaches. Not analyzing and compare player values. Players are actually very poor evaluators of talent and team management Hence, almost every player Lebron has publicly endorsed has been overrated with huge team-destroying contracts. Analysts do NOT need to play in order to analyze. Some of the brightest minds in basketball today are people that have never played in the NBA. Players may not be good coaches (Isiah Thomas, Bill Russell), coaches may not be good GM/Presidents (Phil Jackson, Stan Van Gundy, Doc Rivers, Tom Thibidou)... bottom line... being a legendary player does NOT mean you are good at evaluating talent (Michael Jordan).
@@UtotheJ agree. case in point: Ryan hollins.
all his takes are ridiculously absurd and he played in the NBA.
@@painkiller5657 Agree about "some" players not being good analysts, but could you tell me which analyst who's never played the game is any good?
@@G4MBIT I think chris broussard is a good one. Most are not perfect, but decent anyway. Being a former player helps, but it's not an end-all. Check out gilbert arenas opining kawhi is one of the TWO MOST overrated players in nba: th-cam.com/video/VKgoH7LHgV0/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, I'm about to say that this is one of the best basketball segment I have seen. No ego just pure ball information.

People think that Bulls are a great team because of their triangle offense and individual skills. NOPE. Bulls won 6 rings because of their defense.
and refs
You are right. The dude that said refs unfortunately never saw the Bulls play.

Give this man an AWARD... bravo scottie perfectly explained, and when put in real life, the bucks held him to under 25 points, and barely any threes taken. and won by 30.
Won by 30? Lol dont stretch things like that
Scotty's game IQ is what made him such an incredible defender! I loved how he broke things down. Man was playing chess on the floor.
he'd gaurd Harden in the parking lot. The mentality of a great defender.

Scottie said something very important... MAKE HIM WORK THE ENTIRE TIME guys don't do that as much these days. Scottie is a devastating defense monster. If someone is guarding you 94 feet denying you the ball IS DIFFERENT than letting them score freely
They dint have the motor that's why they get tired also
Exactly. Even more important than shooting down a player is making him work so hard for his points (which many players fall in that trap) that they completely brake his team rythm. If that happens, the defensive player already won.
I want to see: "NBA ref demonstrates how he wouldn't allow Scottie Pippen to defend James Harden." That would be a realistic video.

When he showed his wingspan like bro he a monster wtf 🙉 ... would give him the ball for free.
Looked like a alien lol
yeah. looked like a camera trick. when he dunked on malone and held onto the rim, he was damn near touching the ground
Torric thanks buddy
Papi Chulo yup and he ain’t lying either lol
It’s not a camera trick on purpose. Just how cameras and lenses work. To fit both people in. The same frame in the vid, they used a wide angle lens. Those lenses distort really bad when you are close to them. Almost a fisheye effect but not THAT dramatic
If Pippen could guard magic johnson in 1991, he knows how to guard every player
Magic in 91 was not peak Magic though. Far slower. Those were not the showtime Lakers of the 80's anymore. Bulls dominated the 90's because they were the only legit dynasty level team to form. In the 80's you had the Celtics, the Pistons, the Lakers. 90's you only had the Bulls and then a few competitive but not nearly dynasty level... because of injuries like Penny Hardaway, derailing some potential dynasties, and an initial strain on the spreading out of talent due to recent expansion 1989.
@@jamessackett9239 hey man, o agree when you say that the Lakers were stronger in 80's, but you cant say that in the 90s the ONLY great team were the Bulls, look at the jazz, and the rockets, great team too.

better than fouling him while doing his 3's
Bill Cartwright
Cartwright, Purdue and Longley. Phil Jackson had 18 fouls to give at Center.
Lol pure wisdom right there
Yep, in the modern NBA many teams don't have a go-to center and that is one of the reasons. If your star player is a center, he can often go into foul trouble and your backup probably isn't that good because you are spending your cap money on your star. But if your star players are guards and forwards you can just have 2-3 centers who aren't that aren't star players or even full-time starters, but can just be in there to protect the rim and foul when needed.
I wanna see Scottie do some coaching man, teach these young guys about defense
Defense takes too much effort and usually don't show up on your stats, young guys these days are not going to listen
mchutube exactly brother, you can see how passionate he is about defense, I would love to see him involved with a team. Maybe Charlotte with Jordan?
Young guys care about threes and dunks only plus the NBA doesn't let guys play defense anymore
Johnny Utah that’s what I want to see, a rule change. Allow players to play defense and threes won’t be as much of a problem.
They have rules in place now that punishes team for strong defense. Adam silver ruined the league.

Ernest B I’m a big Rockets fan since the early 90s... but damn.... that was funny brother!!!
Scottie Pippen is arguably the best one on one defender in nba history. Some might say Dr J. I’m not gonna argue that. Defensive numbers are right up there with MJ. Could defend quick guards, Power Forwards and on occasion Centers. I think a guy averaging 2.0 steals for his career and 0.8 blocks at 6’7 knows what he talking about when it comes to Defense. Listen and learn youngsters.
Tbh It's easier back then with hand checking I think Kawhi and Tony Allen and Prince are better
He couldn't defend shit against Kobe & Shaq when they destroyed Portland, Kobe crossed him over like a child!
@@bigty390 maybe just kawhi
@@rudy1999 That was old Scottie Pippen with a broken back taking charges from big ass Karl Malone in the 98 Finals. That was older Scottie Pippen who was take a pounding by doing the dirty work & playing defense at the highest level possible & being that second scoring option for Michael Jordan during his Bulls tenure. Of course Pippen cant locked down a young Kobe with fresh legs starting his prime, just cause Pippen defense wasnt great vs the Lakers in the 2000 playoffs doesnt take away from the great defense he played earlier in his career. People say Draymond Green is getting washed up now based on the pounding he takes on the regular guarding players bigger than him & Pippen would do the same thing guard PFs & even Cs & had more offensive responsibility than a Draymond.
When I watched the game where Dennis Rodman shut down a prime Shaquille O’Neal. That’s when I thought to my self, this guy is one of the greatest ONE ON ONE defenders I have ever seen.. and I hated Rodman from the piston days

Inferior K thought I was the only one that noticed lol
Looks like the same fade he had during the 2nd 3 peat.
My guy got divorced and glowing up lowkey 🤭. He realized he’s a man w money lol. Don’t stress. Live and keep it positive. He winning getting rid of the headache
rell man my man future piped his wife out
Its about time b/c his shit was rough last week
NBA Teams: *"Write that down, Write that down"*
Factsss 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Bucks did and made him shoot in the 20%
If Scottie played today he’d lock Harden down.
Not! Harden would score 40 on him.
I don't think so cause not even kawhi can
Do either of you know who Scottie Pippen is?
Codey Snow nope😂
They are crazy bruh
He said it clearly at the end it takes a whole team to stop a scorer like harden he will just try to make it difficult and uncomfortable for harden , scorers like harden Jordan LeBron or kd u just have to hope they don't catch on fire or it will be ugly for your defense
I like how scottie has the exact same body type from his playing days.
He's not old. 54 years.
@@carloscervantes911 whatever you say gramps
54 ain't that old. 60 yes, and he's almost 60. He's 55 now so he's getting close.
@@iamdeadsilence 60s not even old though.. people are still very active at that age.. my mother is 59 and still cleans houses 5 days a week and looks like she's 15 years younger than what she is.. now 70+ that is what I consider old..
@@Gameboy-Unboxings it's not old. I was just thinking about that the other day. My mom is 52.
2:01 - When Scottie stretched his arms out to show his wing span.....😲
"somebody gotta be in foul trouble" scottie and the bulls love their big boi luc longley XD
They got everything covered, every player knew his job and was big piece of puzzle which bulls were.
The Jordan laugh gif popped into my head as soon as I read this.
luc longley express
OMG Pippen just gave away cheat codes to shut down JH lmao
George Tow he just explained some shit that’s easier said than done. He has the ball from the inbound and when he doesn’t have the ball freedom of movement protects him. Scottie’s tactics might have worked back when the rules were different but you can’t guard Harden if you can’t touch him.
@@dez4three617 like Scottie said he would force him to drive and dribble with his right by guarding his left. Obviously you can't completely stop Harden, but he'll slow him down.
both of you are right, then again, thats all that can be done given the rules of today.
if he gets hot outside, nothing you can do with double stepback
@@dez4three617
He said he would pick up some fouls, but that will force Harden to shoot 2 instead of 3.
That's what Pippen is talking about.
He didn't say he can stop Harden from scoring, but he meant to stop Harden from scoring too many 3s.
The efficiency will go down a bit.
NBA Players are too smart, its all about adjustments. This would make for a tough game for Harden for awhile but when he realizes what is being done, he adjusts and will shred the defense in other ways. Harden has mastered the floater now, along with the lob, the center rotates to defend Harden, he lobs to Capela or kicks to an open 3 point shooter. So slowing him down is just that, "how much of a slow down?" Asissted 3 pointer is just as much as a 3 pointer from him.
Pippen & McGrady, fkn legends
shorty4life6 one day harden will be on here talking bout somebody’s son
Lmfao they aint no legends. Tmac a bum
@@shjesus what ????
@@shjesus you dont know what you're talking about son. Lay off the shrooms.
Basically he'd guard James Haren like he did Magic Johnson in the NBA Finals
Change the rules or make him shave his beard. Either way he will lose his powers.
Johnnie Walker first
If they make him shave his beard, he will be nothing.
They already tried to change the rules but he was on step ahead
@@calebhardin1633 Or ten with the traveling.
Scottie still has that scary intensity on defence 😆
And scary voice
T mac tried to talk over him and put words in his mouth and Scotty sonned that nigga. Scottie don’t give a fucj
YoungKing 97 tmac would drop pippen off in a 1v1
@@D1G1T47 Not really. Pippen is four quarter player. He sets you up to traps that you won't be able to escape the longer both of you plays.
2:01 how long are his arms? wow
7ft
7’3
Scottie sounds like a awesome professor
Professor basketball
This guy got a PhD in defenseology!!
Scottie didnt attact future when he scopped his thottie wifey.
🤣🤣
I’ve shot 194 free throws in the past 10 games
I SEE YOU why you mad? Lmao you are one triggered fanboys😂😂
Another weirdo pretending to be another man
TXscrewHead956 MexicanProde another harden fanboy spotted😂
@@JRSmith-cc5ui lol another weirdo spotted
James Harden is this real or are you trolling? Did he really shoot this many
Harden is allowed to travel, to push off, and anyone who even gets close to him gets called for a foul. The NBA has become a joke.
Indeed
The nba is truly soft. They make it so easy to draw a foul. Like SUPER easy. I wish they even allowed trash talk. It would be so much more entertaining.
Lol
Just like they did it for Jordan in his later years.
@@Pernection
Lebron = an unskilled loser
Scottie Pippen, one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
When you have greats teaching the audience about the game, you better listen carefully.
Whoever's reading this I hope you have a great day and achieve your goals 💯 😂
No u don't u just want like
Thanks mate!
Same to you and fam🙏💯💪🏿
Troll or not, that's nice to say...
Blue Apple thanks bro I hope you do the same!
Pippen, Jordan, Rodman and Harper are the most dangerous defenders in Bulls 2nd 3 peat era.
Shit if those 3 were on the court playing the Rockets Harden would be faking injury to get out the game he would want no part of that. Like Scotty said I let him beat me to my right he gets around Pippin and sees Rodman that's it Dennis ain't playing he's a bad boy he'll give him some of that old fashioned piston love Detroit sends their regards he might get a flagrant 2 on that play but because of concussion protocol James Harden would be done for the game simple as that Rodman wouldn't be playing let him go around doing all that fancy dribbling hard and go up for a 3 Rodman put his elbow in that dude's throat and then complain to the refs that James Harden's the one that initiated contact trying to injure him trying to break his elbow with his throat if anything it should be a jump ball then he take his jersey off and throw it at Houston's coach next thing you know Jordan wakes up game over
I would love to watch that Bulls team play the current Rockets team.
@@davidwilson4896 tryna break his elbow with his throat lmao😂😂😂
BRUCE BOWEN FOR HARDEN :D
After this video man gotta give pippen your respect.. you can easily see that he has another mindset then the young folks.. he knows his craft
Cero - FGO I was giving Scottie respect back in 1994 my friend
Cero - FGO u should watch Detail Kobe did an episode where he broke down how great and smart Scottie was on defense
Cero - FGO it took this video for you to give Pip his respect? You must have not been old enough to watch his career or must have bought into the Michael Jordan doing it all by himself rhetoric. Pip may be the best on ball defender of all time. His length, athleticism, and instincts made him a nightmare defender.
I'm glad i was a 90's kid, eveb tho i was only 5 when i first saw bball
People don't realize Pippen had a 7ft wingspan. He, like Jordan could block shots from the side and the back without fouling. Their defense was relentless. Plus Harden or whoever, had to defend them on the other end. They put pressure on people the full court. If Harden got focused on Pippen, Jordan would get him from the back. Then you had guys like Rodman and the rest of them going all in. It takes a lot of energy to keep up relentless pressure a whole game. Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman did that. Ask the other players on the dream team about that. They said Jordan was like the energizer bunny
I fw this reply but imma add on to that , the reason people don’t do that now is because you have so many focusing all their energy to the offensive side of the ball. The defensive side isn’t “cool”. But what these guys don’t understand is that if you put your best defender on harden and y’all guard him 94 feet like the lakers did in 2020 you can stop him and them . Y’all have to commit and play together as a team which is why harden hasn’t had much success in the playoffs and especially deeper in the playoffs .
Damn now I see why Michael Jordan has 6 rings...Hell he had Scottie Pippen by his side.....
And 3 Rodman
TheRealist 811 try telling that to lebron haters lmao
And vice versa.
llama856 Lebron had Wade, Bosh, Love, Allen And Kyrie. Still got destroyed 6 times
@@maxmx767 Lebron didnt have them for 6 finals tough. So that's a lie
I want to see more videos like this, not joking around constantly no in between girl chiming in, just great players opinions
Lukas facts
Lukas haha
Facts. That's why i only take players who've played the game opinions into consideration the most. Numbers don't paint the whole picture.
Exactly
Hell yeah!
