Scottie Pippen was actually my favorite Bull. It breaks my heart to see what's happening now.
Is part of the show man don't take it personal.
Truly, he should take a look at positive videos like this one and realize that he has nothing to prove to anyone. He can be proud of himself for what he has done in life, without clashing others to make himself look better. I understand he has fallen on hard times, being broke and having his ex-wife engaged with MJ's son... But he needs to outgrow these, move on and focus on something he enjoys in life. It doesn't matter what, coaching a school team, being involved in a meditation circle, doing art... Just anything not involving dwelling in the past, as being defensive about does nothing but turn off his last sympathizers.
i agree with most of what pippen says. he was overlooked a lot. and under appreciated. even when mj was retired. bulls were paying his salary....... while pippen still got pennies on the dolar for his value. pippen is a HoFer. highly ranked player top 50 or higher i am no expert. but yea in his prime he was amazing.
Ditto…
He dissed Jordan so Marcus took it personally…
Give that man his respect. Pippen was my favorite player. He has the rights to feel betrayed. He is a legend
as an Arkansan I definitely love pip born and raised in Conway where he played ball at uca but the only person betrayed pip was Marcus Jordan by messing with his wife other than that pip is tripping lol
Scottie was great. Incredibly underrated.
Pip the player was a beast. Can influence the game in more ways than one. a legit Jack of all trades.
Loved watching Pip and Mj destroy the opposition throughout the 90’s. Been my two fave players and arguably best ever duo in NBA history. 🇦🇺
See what i mean you and I say scottie and mike while the media say mike and scottie
Please cover Ron Harper b4 the injuries. Ppl need to know just how elite he was b4 his stint with the Bulls.
He was a beast for the Cavaliers and Clippers.
m.th-cam.com/video/hzk7Kr_n5UM/w-d-xo.html
That Bulls team had four elite defenders; Jordan, Pippen, Rodman & Harper. All had wide wing spans if I’m not mistaken. That Bulls team was solid
He was very good
FR. He was a Boss with Clippers
I grew up near Chicago with the bulls. If Michael is Superman, Scotty is Batman. If Mike is Ironman, Scotty is Captain America. They were amazing apart, but they were phenomenal together.
That part. You said it perfectly
Wouldn't scottie be Robin?
Superman and Ironman are A LOT more powerful than Batman and Captain America though.
@@davequinn3484 I think he was trying to give some independence outside of mj 's shadow
Good old WGN channel 9... I even went to MJ's camp
The only thing wrong with Scottie nowadays is the lack of respect the man gets....the most underrated basketball player of all time. Scottie does not deserve the hate he gets. Give this man his flowers now...I will not allow anyone to slander scottie pippen.
Facts
He actually gets a lot of respect it’s his mouth nowadays that’s hurting his legacy.
Scottie bringing that shit on himself.. keep making stupid statements. And I like Scottie,but I can call it like I see it regardless.
They played against a bunch of coc heads! Lol
Pippen is the most overrated player ever. Without the ships,we wouldn't even remember who he was. We was gone remember MJ regardless.
Pip on some goofy sh##t right now, but his greatness on the court is undeniable. You can make a legit case that Pip is the greatest on ball perimeter defender ever, and add that with his versatility. He was a straight beast.
Yeah he is definitely on that goofy ish!😄
Facts, as a Knicks fan I hated him but dude was a monster.
I cant be so hard on his Goofiness, his wife is next level insane.
@@Peakfreud 💯
Pippen not on no goofy ish! You a LIAR Pippen telling the truth about MJ 💯, y'all just don't like it
@@Peakfreud She’s a straight rat
Probably the most underrated, under-appreciated multi championship winner in basketball.
If you take Pipps chips away his stats wouldn't even be enough to get him in the top 100.... If you understand the game and what he does on the court that doesn't make the stat book.. The things kids will never understand... Even though Pipps first few years was consider a bust and everyone thought Horace was the better player.. Even that first Chip Pipps stats wasn't the greatest. I think if Pipp would of develop faster and MJ had another all-star they would of beat those Pistons
@@wattwatkins3574please, stop commenting.
@@wattwatkins3574great post. As someone who lived in Chicago in that era that’s spot on. Scotties slow development actually held them back. They were ready to win as early as 1989. They took Detroit to 6 games and Detroit swept LA. They were second best team in the nba but Scottie couldn’t handle the physicality and mental head games in those Detroit series. 9 ppg vs them in 1989. That’s a fact. Shit, he even f’d em in 1990 with his migraine. He eventually matured and became a great player, but it took time.
@@dapper892 These guys will never know what we learned from WGN
@@wack8589 yeah hates facts huh
Scottie Pippen was also a very reliable NBA player during his time with the Portland Blazers in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The Blazers didn't win a championship back then, but they were a very strong team.
The 2000 Playoff Conference Finals in particular was a great game.
Scottie was a little older, kobe my fave.. scottie would have a better chance if a little younger...b4 the load management days I might ad
Correct me if I'm wrong. I might have heard this from someone else, but if Scottie Pippen wasn't pulled from the game in the 2000's playoffs of the Portland trailblazers, could they have one a championship and signify that Scottie Pippen could be as great as Michael Jordan?
Portalnd didnt win because they no leader. Scottie only knew how to take direction not give it. And not not even mention his sorryness in houston!! Pippen need to know his role and stfu
@@MrLuvbelowBaloney
@@wack8589 boloney these nutz. The truth will set your mind free
As a former college athlete, I grew up watching basketball from the 80's, 90's, and 200's. I studied Pippen's game so closely. Pippen had no weaknesses...he is a swiss army knife.
His ONLY weakness was courage
Scottie Pippen is underrated in my opinion and one of the all time great Bulls.
As a Chicago Bulls' fan, it is disappointing to see what has happened between him and MJ.
But as a player, he was a great all around talent, especially on defense and playmaking.
lol all time great Bulls. ALL TIME GREAT - TOP 25 ALL TIME.
I think Scottie is messed up...lost his son semi recent, and now the current stuff, was underpaid drastically...He's HUMAN....career wise, esp with the Bulls, yeah, amazing...who else in history ever locked up Magic Johnson for crying out loud...the guys versatility was unmatched....
I do not agree with him being underrated... You take Pipps chips away his stats won't even make it to the top 100... Pipp was never a great offensive player... He was never going to give you 30 a game. Gilbert has some bad takes
How can Scootie be underrated? He was named to the 50 greatest. If anything he is now overrated!
@@affiliatestudAnd was truly the Finals MVP
Every time someone asks me my starting five, Pippen is always on that list. No question about it.
No doubt.
I agree. Almost everyone has Jordan at shooting guard on their all-time starting 5 list, but "How do you have Jordan without Pippen?" is what I always wonder.
My starting 5:
C - Hakeem Olajuwon
PF - Tim Duncan
SF - Scottie Pippen
SG - Michael Jordan
PG - John Stockton
That opening clip with Pippen dunking is particularly intriguing to me, because I remember that was game 3 of the first round of the playoffs in the second 3peat (I forget which year), and my family was listening to the game in the car on the radio because we had something to do that night. I remember hearing the play and the announcers were going crazy but Pippen kinda hurt his back when he fell, but that is the first time I've ever actually seen the clip with my own eyes. Crazy!
I watched that game live...oh it was so good
Pippin was the most important part of the championship bulls. When Mike went to play baseball the bulls had almost the same record. Scottie could do everything and was a elite defender.
Exactly and that was without mike thank you
Yeah and pride eat him alive.
No he wasn't. The bulls won 3 in a row plus they brought in 6 new players in 1994
@jr6178 What are you objecting to. Mike quit after the 1st 3 chips, and the Bulls had almost the same record. Pip was an Allstar and 1st team NBA plus 1st team all defense. He was in the MVP race and up for defensive player of the year. If the bulls had another elite 2 guard that year, they would have won without Mike, IMO.
@@2tall886 Pip wasn't the most important part of the championship bulls. pip wasn't in the MVP or dpoy race. dpoy was on lock and it was a 2 man battle for the between the dream and Robinson.
Bulls won 3 in a row a brought in 6 new players after MJ retired. Many players leave teams that make the playoffs without them magic, bird, Shaq, Ewing, Drexler, Barkley and many more
94 bulls aren't special
hey sean, thanks for your respect and high regard for scottie, along with your concern for him and his circumstance of late.
just a touch of class neither seen nor heard quite often enuff these days.
your rather large enthusiasm is absolutely a kick every time.
many thanks bruh, for years of countless grins!
Scottie Pippen, I’m from Chicago, and I Love SCOTTIE PIPPEN! What a GREAT PLAYER!
Living in the Pacific NW it was great to be a basketball fan. Even when the Sonics &/or Blazers weren't all that good, the NBA brought some of the greatest players of all time to town. Getting to see Scottie and Michael playing, albeit beating, "my team" (Sonics) or "those guys" (Blazers), it was pure joy to watch.
Hopefully our kids will get to see the return of the Sonics. They'll sit in the stands with our grandkids and tell them about how they saw "The Glove" guard "The GOAT", and how grandad saw Kareem (before he was Kareem😉) and Oscar "The Big O" Robertson (Milwaukee Bucks) against the Sonics. The passing of these memories are so important to keep the game alive.
Hands down my favorite player of all time and I have been watching the NBA since the mid-70's. Could guard every position and play every position if needed at top performance. Elite of the elite defenders,. A truly explosive performer with extremely high court intelligence and a pterodactyl wingspan the likes of which will never be seen again. Simply magnificent.
No he couldn't play every position. One of the biggest myths in basketball history
Thank you for this video. I truly don't care how Pippen has been vocal these past few months...but I will honestly say SCOTTIE PIPPEN was my favorite player (yes above MJ). He won 6 champs, def player awards, offensive player awards, all star, dream team, etc. He is a GOAT, and everyone should respect his game and put his name on these "who is great" comparisons!!!🔥 🐐
He's my favorite too
BIG FACTS
I love Pippen, I’ve always been a huge NBA fan, and he’s always been my favorite.
Was my favorite player much love
Scottie Pippen still my favorite player of all time.
Thank you for giving this man (Scottie Pippen) his just due. You are one of gods gift to mankind. Keep up the good work sir
Scottie Pippen was a great player, he played Hard everytime i grew up watching the bulls ❤,
Scottie averaged 16ppg 5, 5 for his career. Less than 20ppg for his finals and went scoreless 4x in his playoff career. Definitely the GOAT.
17th on my top 20
I know😂
Poor Man's Lebron with better defense which makes him a top 35 player all time
Winning basketball isn't about numbers on a piece of paper.
The one thing you hear over and over from people who played with and against him is "he's the only guy who could score 8 points, and completely dominate the game."
He obviously isn't the GOAT, but anyone who saw him play, and knows ball, knows he is one of the greats.
@@JeremyHurtt The one thing we hear over and over again? People who played with and against says he's the only guy who could score 8 points and completely dominate the game? Name just one source, or video.
Boricua Hispanic Indian n black Iam.. i hope Pippen will say sorry to jordan n say i sorry my brother because we won together 6 champion to make history. David you doing a great video. God bless.
Awesome video 🙏
My favorite duo of all time. MJ and Pippen. Now imagine all of this AND Scottie not being salty, this would make him not just a great player but a great person as well. Did he sacrifice something (his ego perhaps) for the team to win? Sure. But that’s what the team is about. You can’t win championships without certain sacrifices.
Lmao he is a great person probably too much of a good person. Steve Kerr said it in the video. Scottie was beloved on the Bulls. He was the antithesis to MJ. People won with Mj and they respected him but most of his teammates couldn’t stand him. Scottie was universally liked.
Sean, this video was LONG overdue. Thanks for making it
Hey Sean I’m a long time supporter and I know you have done a lot of videos about the bulls but I would love to see a deep breakdown of all the role players and their impact no matter how small thanks
What Jordan said summed up what I saw when they played. Michael was the one who toughened up Pippen . Like he said he had Scottie's back if anything popped off . Playing with a guy like Jordan he had to raise his game on both sides of the ball . When Jordan first retired after his father died , Scottie to me like played like he was just one of the guys and remember Scottie sitting on the sidelines looking into the TV camera pointing at his Jordan sneaker and motioning with his finger for Michael to come back . If Scottie never played with Michael he wouldn't be half the player he became . You can take what Isiah Thomas says ,like a grain of sand . Everybody knows he hates Jordan and the feeling is mutual . He still has sour grapes over not being on the Dream Team but that's the price you pay for being a lead Bad Boy .
Scottie is one of the few nba players who’s exact game has yet to be replicated.
Facts
Favorite player of all-time. I think his winning mentality is overlooked. Dude broke his body to keep winning. I was so rooting for Portland to get back
Hey guys, I just came over to say I take Scottie in a 30 min ride to the airport today. I acknowledged him by his last name and he smile, it was intimidating at the beginning having such a legend at my backseat, but he was very friendly and talking almost all the way, such a nice guy, We talk almost all the way there and even get a tip and a picture. Needless ro say best uber trip ever.
I agree anytime Scottie come up folks don’t always give him his due but pippen was one of my favorite ball players and I loved watching him play
Michael’s unprecedented competitiveness goaded Scottie into pushing his own limitations and in the process Pippen fought through his own demons and became one of the all time greats he otherwise wouldn’t have become, which I think is why people like Charles Barkley and Oakley resented him; because in a universe where Michael Jordan wasn’t there to rage every day at Scottie to toughen up or be left behind... comfort and complacency would have contained Pippen to a still talented yet eventually forgotten player among the many in NBA history.
Just ONE like is a travesty because you NAILED it bro
Aye Bro...I Love your content, and to make it all better...youre 1 of the Best Internet personalities out here! I HAD to like & subscribe Bro! Keep Going 💪🏿💪🏿
great video
He was a freaking beast!!!🔥
Scottie Pippen attitude will change, just give it time he is going through a lot... 🙏
He's going though being a LAME
Scottie Pippen is most def the goat a very athletic and versatile playe who impacted the game and not from scoring. Defense and playmaker he was very much over looked because of who he played with. His perspective on MJ is his experience of playing with and being around MJ people on the outside don't know what was said and done behind the scenes. And he felt disrespected by MJ and the last dance. And in 1991/92 scottie pippen came to Paul Robeson Hs and visited us in the Englewood area that meant the world to us frfr so salute PIP
How many FMVP?
@@fredrickwhynn6225 THE SAME AMOUNT THAT YOU HAVE!!!
I just watched the 93 Knicks series. Scottie literally won that series. He blocked Charles Smith twice in the last sequence of game clean. He scored 29 in game 3 when Jordan couldnt buy a shot all game and finished with 22 points and Bulls were down 0-2. He also got Horace, Will Perdue, BJ and Paxson involved in that game and the supporting cast won game 3. Pippen and Grant won game 6 after knicks lost their spirit. MJ willed the bulls to that 6th championship and carried most of the load that year if not all of it. No question. But because that is the last thing we saw, we forget that pippen won them some other series in those 6.
I was screaming at the TV that night after them blocks and I was so glad I wasn't going to have to hear knick fans and bull haters at school the next day #10th grade memories
#33 all day PIPPEN fan since day 1
This video tribute was long overdue!! Scottie will always be one of three best to play this game! I hate to see him beefing with MJ but the man's resume speaks for itself!!
I vividly remember seeing on NBC in the pregame during the 1997 Playoffs where the cameras used to go into the Locker room before big playoff games and walk around and the cameraman tried to walk into another locker room where they were injecting Pippen in the back with a cortezone shot before a playoff game, and Crew pushed the cameraman out and threw a towel over the lens. That's all that needs to be said.
My favorite player of all time!!
Scottie was always my guy on that Bulls team.
People love to stir up shit saying Pippen doesnt get enough credit everybody that watched Pip knew he was great ... its just stirring the pot
look at the comments just in this video. he still doesnt get enough credit. we know he was great. but how many think he was a bum that could be replaced by any other player. that only reason he was good was because Jordan etc.....
I’m 55, live in Chicago and have seen Jordan and pippen play 30-40 times courtside, pippen was the best defender in the nba, he was phenomenal, great facilitator , and could score 18-20 points a game, I have him at 10 on my top ten list 👍🏼 it’s to bad all this crap with MJ and pippen now, it breaks my heart ❤️
He had a role. In the beginning, the Bulls didn't need him to score. But, as time went on, Phil changed his philosophy. So that they could get pass, Detroit.
@@wack8589 Pippen crumbled in the Piston's series... I would say if Pipp would have developed quicker they could of beat that Piston team 89 that won it all... Pipp first few years he was consider a bust and Horace was the better player. People forget Pippen didn't become Pippen till 92... He should thank the Bulls every day that they waited for him to mature into Robin.. He was never a great scorer he benefited from Mike getting all the attention on offense... The shit Pippen learned from Mike playing the passing lanes and being the QB of the defense... He was a role player every year MJ was there...
Top 10 of the 90s? Definitely not in NBA history?
Cap
@@wattwatkins3574let's talk about Craig Ehlo, Jeff Hornecek, John Paxson, ya know the reason garbage of the 90s
Scottie Pippen is my all time favorite player. He is always being overlooked.
FINALLY!!!! Ppl need to start putting the PROPER respect on Scottie
Not if he keeps disrespecting everyone else.
@@GenghisClaus shooooo go away. clearly you dont understand being human. dude has been treated like trash from every angel pretty much his entire life.
@@GenghisClaus those two things don't go together. You don't get to diminish his game just because you may not like him as a person. If that was true, MJ wouldn't be as respected as he is......
I'm a die-hard Laker fan Scottie Pippen my second-favorite player ever behind Magic Johnson the greatest power forward of the 90s
Thank you for this balanced portrayal of Scotty Pippen. IMO he was the number two player of that era. Only slightly behind MJ. The Last Dance was not fair to him.
My favorite player forever
The Bulls were the best team ever at Scoring off their defense quickly on coast to coast steals. Pippen is also the best at coast to coast scores from the rebound to a dunk or layup. Scottie Pippen is the Fastest player of all time from one end to the other with the ball also without. Scottie is one of the top PG's of all time and maybe the best SF of all time. He and Magic are the only players in the Top 10 that are Pass First and even Pass Second. Most unselfish player of all time along with the likes of Jokic, Magic, Isiah, Rodman and Jordan. (3 Bulls, that is how good the Bulls were)
Scottie Pippen and Julius Erving were the two players I loved to watch play. They didn't run. They glided. They didn't jump. They flew.
That cool, felt that Jordan
From back in the day Scottie was a major baller..way underrated because of Jordan mostly
Bulls had (4) great defensive players in the league in that era, Ron Harper with those long arms was great defensive guard, along with MJ, then they had Rodman & Scottie
FACTS
Things happen..people change..people reaction are different according to their emotions or experiences..I enjoyed Scotties game ..it's unfortunate what he's going through his wife and all the other stuff..I wish him the best
i watched the 10 episode series on the bulls. i never watched an nba game in my life. i do watch this channel though. and it always sounded like pippen was under rated. that 10 episode series imo really highlighted how good pippen was for the bulls. imo he was the glue that kept that team together all those years. everyone looked to pippen. if this guy can take MJs childish behavior then we can. etc. on top of that pippen 1st few years was good player. admitedly it looks mj helped him become a great player. and that really showeed when mj retired and pippen got to lead the bulls himself. he did a great job imo. but sadly he lacked that driving force to push everyone over the hump. but he was a much better player than anyone gave him credit for. drastically underpaid his later years with the bulls. but i understand the contract and why.
Remember.
Mike didn’t win without Scottie and Scottie didn’t win without Mike. They needed each other.
I mean who was better in transition. Pip was butter on that break. Smooth, solid, great shot. Can lock a player up completely. For my money, gimme Scottie everyday all day.
Pippen was like a second Jordan on the floor, he became a clone and that was a nightmare for the opposition. It's very similar how Klay Thompson became a clone of Curry. Force multipliers.
No he wasn't
Scottie the Goat!
The Bulls did not become a true championship contender until Pippen and Coach Jackson joined Jordan. Jordan needed the right type of players - and coach - around him.
Imagine not knowing the real story and then saying what you said sounding like a kid talking out his ass just repeating bad takes that people put up for comments... Pippen first few years even the first chip the Bulls won Pippen wasn't the Pippen people remember. People thought Horace was the better player and his stats prove that the first few years. Then you got Phil a rookie coach who stole his assistant's triangle offense... Rookie Coach! MJ was the biggest reason why they won. Pippen got a lot better after his first chip. You take away Pippens chips and he doesn't make the top 100 players ever. Did you watch bud?
Jordan led the underdog Bulls to the 89-ECF with D.Collins as head coach and with no All-Star caliber teammates. Took the Champs to six games with C.Hodges as the Bulls 2nd leading scorer in that series. Who was Phil before the Bulls? Jordan needed help like everyone else.
As a Detroit and Celtics fan my biggest memory is Scotty getting into the paint getting hammered and going awol with a migraine. And he couldn’t do much keeping Bird from being oh well Bird lol
How in Hell are you going to be both a Pistons and Celtics fan?🤔🙄
@@godfatherx8334 I saw Larry legend destroy our bad boys and appreciated his greatness that’s how.
@@bruce7709 I'm a piston and Zeke is my favorite player and Bird is my second favorite but BIRD happen to be GOAT
@@godfatherx8334 NEVER a Celtic fan but LOVE Larry Bird
Scotty was my favorite player on the bulls I grew up watching them. Jordan was uplifted because he brought new life to the NBA. I actually had a lot of players before Jordan. But Jordan is the best highlight film of all time
Def one of the best 🏀 🏆🏆🏆 🏆🏆🏆
Pippen was my favorite player
The best on ball defender EVER TO PLAY THE GAME. It's what u shld teach young players now. He is my favorite player of all time right beside Larry Legend. All around basketball hustle.
As a kid in Chicago, Mike got all the marketing and TV deals, made sense, he was the scorer with the cool nickname, but everytime I went to the old Chicago Stadium and new United Center, I left having seen Scottie was the best player on the team. Mike scored, but Pip did EVERYTHING. Hakeem was the best overall player in the whole league to me. That's me, unbiased, as a kid.
My older cusn is older than me by 5 years ,,iam born 1984 so ya he had me into it when suns vs bulls finals ,that’s when Barkley became my favorite player,,just to piss my cusn off as a kid !!! HE ALWAYS BEEN PIPPEN FAN ,,HE NEVER WOREA PAIR JORDANS HIS WHOLE LIFE ,,AND HES 45 YEARS OLD ,,, I WISH I CAN TAG HIM FOR IN THIS CONVO
Scottie was definitely a key player
Theyre the d best duo of all time
Pippen was my fav player in that time the disrespect of this dude is ridiculous
Pippen was more like Dr. J than Michael. Best compliment I can give.
It's as simple as this...basketball is a team game. If you want to know what part of the the team meant the most to MJ the answer is Scotty Pippen. They brought out the best in each other. Their level of domination made the rest of their team mates so great as well. The other thing is they were such a good shooting guard, power forward combo, the rest of the team was pretty easy to build around them. Good point guard, good forward and Center.
Good reason Pip led the Dream Team in assists: Magic missed half the games with a bum knee, and Stock was recovering from a broken leg and didn't play much up front. Pippen was the de facto starting point guard half the time, and the main backup the other half.
Legendary #33
Chicago Bulls Basketball

Remember it clear
Pipen was the goat 🐐 for us ppl from the 80s that saw pipen play every game . We know Jordan wouldn't be nobody without pipen .
I'm a huge Scottie Pippen fan. It's so sad to see what has happened to him now. He is lashing out because he let so many people close to him walked over him during his career. He's boiling over.
Scottie the real GOAT.
Scottie Pippen is the greatest small forward ever
Jordan Pippen deadliest duo all time
I hate what’s happening now with Michael and Scottie, but the more I hear stories, it sounds like they were NEVER really close, which sucks as a lifelong Bulls fan. I think him hearing “sidekick” so much now, the wife situation, the Last Dance that seemed to focus on him suffering in games and unable to come through like Mike did, as well as the fact that in all the years of flashbacks they never showed what Scottie did when Michael decided to retire and really show off how complete a player he was. The majority of his career he seemingly was taken advantage of by management. When the team was finally his and it should’ve been “Give Scottie the ball and clear out”, they ran a play for Toni. He should’ve been IN that game regardless, but I could see why someone who is a pretty private and quiet person might finally burst. I love the man and he’s brought me so many great moments along with those Bulls and I’ll always respect what he did for me and the city of Chicago.
Scotty was the best defender im the league . If he had multiple dpoys he would easily be top 5
There is like a new Greatest Of All Time every day. FTS
I know this is a Pippen video but,come on I. Thomas,give MJ his flowers.....MJ wasn't just a scorer ,he was a great defender,too.
MJ have this high respect to Pippen. He acknowledge and always acknowledge him
As a Scottie Pippen fan since I was a kid playing NBA Jam,the one thing that I always felt was unfair is how media,fans,and even some players would discredit or downplay Scottie's entire career just because he played with Jordan. I never hear that about James Worthy,Kevin McHale,Joe Dumars,Tony Parker/Ginobli,Klay Thompson,or any other secondary superstar,just Scottie, even though he was easily one of the best two way wings of his generation. He's 12th in scoring,3rd in assists,4th in rebounds,5th in blocks,and 1st in steals among all small forwards in NBA history. He earned his spot among the greats.
Because all those players had HEART
@@alanduff1054 Scottie is one of the best two way players of his era. Usually taking on the best scorer. You got to have heart to be a great defender.
This is why, @49yrs old, cold blooded Laker fan, but basketball fan first, it breaks my heart to see what's going on now between the 2, or (3)?.. Larsa buggin...smdh
Pippen was more than Robin. He was the gel. And I wish the Last Dance talked more about the team and showed us how special Pippen was instead of focusing on his contract and focusing on him not playing because Kukoc get to shoot the last shot. I thought that was unneccesary since it wasn't even in that season, it was the season that MJ went to play baseball and Pippen was taking that team alone to the Eastern Final and almost won. I mean, if MJ was going to rub salt into Pippen's wound, and talk about old stuff, it was unfair to not talk about the achievement of Pippen in that year MJ was gone. It was unfair, out of all the great things Pippen did that season, MJ picked on that mistake by Pippen which everyone already forgotten but MJ picked it back up and reminded everyone. And Pippen told him as a man to ask MJ not to put it in, MJ did it anyway because he needed the documentary to glorify himself, which wasn't neccessary because we already know how great he is. The Last Dance was just too MJ centric. MJ did it to make people forget how great Pippen was that year MJ retired and pulled Pippen down, and Pippen was the best teammate MJ ever had who made those Championships possible. Without Pippen, MJ might get a few MVPS but not final or championship to be the GOAT.
Pippen was and is my basketball idol. His one weakness: he wasn't a pure scorer. He couldn't turn it on like Mike when everything else fell apart - see game 7 vs NY in 94 and game 7 vs LA in 00.
All of his points were bonus points, cause they were off steals or off blocks and rebounds. He was a pass first player. He could score more if needed and he was one of the best fast break players ever. the 94 Knicks put 5 guys on him. Pippen didn't have a team really. Only Rookie Kukoc that was still getting better, and only Grant. The Knicks were stacked up with All stars. Portland didn't have a great scorer. He was spoon feeding Wallace the entire 4th and he kept not trying to score. That Portland team was only good cause of Pippen. Without him they were a 40 win team rather than 55 and Conference Finals.
@JimBrave-ri1oc I remember watching that game 7 vs LA and yelling at the TV: Scottie tell everyone to get the F out of the way and TAKE OVER. That switch to score and create his own shot when the plays are breaking down - that I wish he had more. And yes, without Scottie the 94 team doesn't even make the playoffs and the 00 team is a first round exit at best.
@@Fair540 He was not anywhere near his prime anymore by 2000 after all the back injuries, playing on the back injuries anyway which injures it more an more each time. Also the back surgery in 99 which is also an injury and the doctors didn't know the science on it then and that it's better to let it heal on it's own. His back was gone by then and he couldn't move as fast or jump like he did in the mid 90s.
Pippen was a monster. He wasn't a second, he was a 1.1. I don't think he'd have anything close to six championships without Jordan, but he was probably the only player that made Jordan better, and could do everything Jordan could do nearly as well or in some cases (3 point shooting) better. I thought Jordan's words have been very fitting for Scottie - somewhere he's got a button that make he go off that adds up to his only flaw (I'm thinking about the shot called for Kukoc that he threw a fit over...).
Bud Pippen was a terrible shooter and Mj was better at 3s... Offensively Pippen wasn't the great... Cmon man... Check the stats or watch the games
@@wattwatkins3574 lol - it looks like you might not have even been born when Pippen was playing. I DID watch the games, and SAW the impact that Pippen had when he arrived, how he showed up in the big moments and how he bullied the league. He wasn't afraid of anyone. MJ became a better 3-point shooter later in his career, but part of that came from having the defenses stretched because you'd have Pippen keeping them from doubling as far out as the 3-point line (and when they did, not only was Pippen dangerous, but you had Kerr, Kukoc, etc. out there to make them pay). Maybe YOU should stop watching YT highlight reels and go back to watch actual seasons-worth of games...
@e24mpwr I watched them win all 6 and you're full of shit. Jordan was better than Pippen and it isn't even close!
@@e24mpwr Not only did I watch them play live and at my house on the WGN channel 9 meaning if you didn't live in the Chicagoland area then you didn't watch as much as I did.. I got all the games and you can't live in Chicago at that time and not watch every game and if you weren't from the area you didn't get to watch all the games.. Not how it works back then... Not to mention I even went to MJ camp and met Pipp and MJ a hand full of times. You ever bark up the wrong tree?
@@wattwatkins3574 LoL - if you saw it first-hand (as I did too, though less-often in person than maybe you did), and if you actually did and are trying to say Pippen wasn't a monster, you just don't understand basketball.
Any team I form will have pip at point !!!
Goats dont quit on their team
I LOVE Scottie P. During those years, we all knew that the Bulls were going to win or lose based on Scottie's game that night. Mike was always gonna do what Mike did. Horace or Dennis were gonna have their games. The rest of the team were gonna role-play like they were hired to do. But if Scottie had a bad game, the Bulls were gonna lose. And when he was on, they were unbeatable. But Scottie wasn't consistent. He was fucking great, but he was mercurial and couldn't deliver every game.
