I'm not going to take away Pippen accomplishments but Jordan molded Pippen to who he is. Jordan and Pippen had extreme work outs with each other in the summer of 1989 and throughout the 89-90 season to be a better player a tougher player mentally and physically. Do you all remember when Jordan retired and gave the keys to the team to Pippen and Pippen couldn't handle the leadership role because it was too much pressure? Remember when Pippen was sitting on the bench wearing a pair of Jordan's and he lifted up his foot to the camera and pointed at the Jordan symbol to motion with his finger for Jordan to come back? Jordan presence alone made Pippen and everyone else on the floor job easier.
We will never see another player like Scottie. He was 1 of 1. Always concerned about the next player and not himself. Guarded the best player, handled the ball, guarded power forwards and played the game at angles. My favorite player all time. He had beautiful game. He guarded Magic when they had problems. Guarded Mark Jackson when they had problems with him controlling the game. He was that dude for real. He started that run down of the ball.
Pippen was better than 95% of ALL NBA players for a 10 year span. Scottie DOMINATED his position and other positions as well. He literally had no weakness, could play point, wing and post. MJ was great on the defensive end as well yet Scottie took every tough match up on defense! He was truly an underrated superstar.
@ Mr. Colenburg You’re just repeating what was said on the video. But to say Scottie had no weakness is asinine. He was not that good of a shooter. And his free throws weren’t the best either. He was somewhere in the 70 percentile. That’s why Kukoc was given the last shot and not him.
Jordan guarded the opposing team best player more than Pippen did. Pippen was a below avg half court scorer, shooter, ft shooter and clutch performer. Pippen had some below avg Playoffs series. Pippen wasn't the primary defender of the opposing team best player in any of the Finals. Stop spreading this myth that Pippen defender the toughest opponents. He wasn't guarding Malone, Shaq, Payton, Barkley etc.
I think people tend not to appreciate just how good pippen was and how instrumental he was to the success of that bulls dynasty. People tend to think jordan just carried the team and while pippen was a really good player he was more of a complimentary piece that was allowed to be better because of all the attention jordan drew. But in reality they had two guys that were the absolute best at their positions in all aspects of the game. Post game, shooting, ball handling, running the offense, setting up teammates, lockdown defense, rebounding. Neither of them had a single weakness that could be exploited, and teams knew when they stepped on the floor they had two legitimate superstars on both ends of the court to deal with.
Yeah, that's exactly what Pippen was. If not for Jordan, NOBODY would be talking about Scottie Pippen. Not then, not now. Get off this ignorant nonsense.
Scottie was amazing. Did he make enemies? Sure! Did he say some things that may have been whiny or hyperbolic? Maybe, but you can't argue his contribution. No one is perfect. In all the years of watching him play, my favorite play by him was at the end of the famous `Steve Kerr shot," game against the Jazz in the 97 finals. With 5 seconds left he steals the inbound pass denying Utah a last shot. The icing on the cake was getting it to Kukoc who slammed the last points of the game and season. That play showed his defensive skill, determination, and game intelligence when it was critical.
100%, I grew up in Chicago in the 90's. Pip was my favorite player. He makes it difficult to like him personally but purely basketball, amazing player with amazing athletic ability.
Even with all those wonderful accolades, I still believe Scottie is one of the most underrated athletes in any sport ever. Ofcourse he isn't MJ, he's Scottie Pippen, one of my favorite players of all-time, such a unique player & it saddens me the current state of his being. A major reason why he didn't attend the 75th Diamond all-time team celebration. THAT was Sad
He was great and has been given his kudos and accolades. The most underrated super player in basketball is Bobby Jones. In football, it's John Mackey. In baseball, it's Frank Robinson [or Andre Dawson]. In track and field, it's Jim Thorpe. In boxing, it's Henry "suicide" Armstrong.
@@jamiemoody2675 Good list. I will add though, that people have no idea how good Elgin Baylor was. In boxing, Armstrong is underrated, but so is Salvador Sanchez. Today's sports fans should know these guys.
Totally true!!! Super elite defense. I don't even like saying he could've done better without mj but his accomplishments are totally underrated. You didn't want to be guarded by pip. He would affect your game no matter who you were.
I will never forget his performance in Game 6 of the 1993 NBA Finals. For a couple of minutes in the last quarter I feared Phoenix might force a 7th game...Jordan was out, yet there was Scottie getting a huge rebound and asking for time out at the precise moment to calm the team down. There was also a sick dunk by him in that game and a monstrous one in Game 5. That particular series convinced me he was one of the top 10 players in history.
So your argument that Pippen is better than MJ is that he helped maintain winning a game while the best player was out? He got a huge rebound while Jordan was out? So otherwise Jordan was better at his job too.
I'll never forget the 1994 playoffs vs the NY Knicks when Pippen took himself out of the game with 1.8 seconds left because Phil Jackson drew the play up for Toni Kukoc to take the final shot and not him. Pippen was a very good player, but he was not a superstar.
*Scottie was a head of his time at the SF position, probably one of the most complete players to ever play the game, plus my 2nd fav player after the legendary Timmy D!*
Agree with all comments about the positive nature of Scottie Pippen on the basketball court. Defensive player, who instigates offence. I have been previledged enough to watch all Scottie's six championships with MJ. Albeit through the Television. People tend to forget that Scottie is 6ft8inch but he is so agile, like a 5ft something. Thanks for this documentary.
@@trebbz21even if they list him as 6'7 when he stood next to Jordan he was definitly more than an inch taller and MJ was a perfect 6 6... what about his wing span it was damn near 7 ft
You say all 6 of Piipen's championships. Please look at what Jordan did and fix that. They were Jordan's that Pippen won with him not the way you stated.
My favorite player of all time! I'm 39 years old. I grew up watching the Bulls, everybody idolized Michael Jordan but I gravitated towards Scottie Pippen. He was ahead of his time, he was so versatile.
Scottie is my favorite player and i hate that he doesn't get any credit for the Bulls dynasty. He is definitely one of the most underrated players in history !!!
I dunno about that. He’s considered a top 50 player. I grew up on that Bulls team and he was pretty much irreplaceable in terms of fit. There’s very few players in my mind in the history of basketball that could have taken his place in that role, with that skill set, that intelligence on defense, that passing ability, that selflessness …that could win 6 chips with that bulls team. In recent history, I’d say Khawi Leonard and Lebron-both at least equal to better athletes. Bruce Bowan maybe-but he’ wasn’t the scorer Scottie was. Bob Horry maybe-but he wasn’t the defender Scottie was. I’m convinced Bill Russell could have played the 3 at a hof level in any era, but it would have looked a little different.
How on earth doesnt he gets enough recognition...whenever we are talking about Bulls its about Jordan and Pippen...guys that dont get recognition are Harper, Rodman, Luc and Kukoc
I believe it is finally sinking in to Scottie that he never got his flowers while playing. He was just not branded like MJ was in the 90's hype machine. MJ was the face of the Bulls but Pippen was the heart and soul. Look at Pip's shoulders, a genetic beast.
The year Pippen carried the Bulls without mj, Pip led his team in every major statistical category, that is the perfect definition of of being the best all-around jack of all trades type Elite player. Plus his ability to play or guard ANY position as well!
Started watching NBA in94, pippen has been my favourite since day one, his defence is physical, technical, and most importantly very smart, but never dirty
I'm old enough to remember Karl Malone play. I can only recall two players having the courage to ta a charge from him. At 1:39, Pip did that. That takes balls because Karl didn't slow down. His motto was "Your first foul should always be a hard one." Pip was the man with his defense and versatility. He could leave his defender, surprise block a perimeter shooter and coast in for a slam at the other end. Amazing and beautiful.
I'm 43 and I'm so grateful I grew up being able to watch basketball back then. There will never be players like this again! The game has just changed! I'm a lifetime Piston fan. I love an old school defensive game! I remember the bad boys locking teams and great players down. Then the 03/04 pistons did the same. I don't remember seeing a team holding anyone to a point total in the 60s lol. They help that Lakers team to 65 pts twice in the finals lol. That's so ridiculous I don't think people realize it
Scottie was and is a Bulls and NBA legend. Even the ones that like to clown him (Isiah, Shaq, Barkley) can’t deny his skillset. Most of their animosity is personal .
Scottie is my all-time favorite player. People can't let go of the fact that Mike & Pip were never friends and never will be. Their games just complimented each other unbelievably. Pip lived what you only saw from the outside. Whatever he had to say about MJ is his truth not yours. Every single one of your opinions don't even begin to matter. Listen to what these cats are saying about Pip's game. 33Pippen33 was an absolute force.
There is no such thing as his truth. There are his experiences and his opinions on them. But for it to be the truth it has to be factual. And some of what he says may be. But people were complimenting Jordan and knew he was special as a rookie and when there team was whooped. Pippen played second fiddle to Jordan the bulls with Jordan were immediately playoff bound and later champions, without Jordan struggled and those are just facts. Of course I recognize it is a team effort. I also concede he may not get enough credit but please don't confuse that with him being the GOAT.
@@sefsvemira7482 As a Chicago Bulls fan in the 90s Michael Jordan is the gaot. There will never be a player like him no matter how good he is. Pippen was the best defensive player maybe the best in history Michael was also an excellent defensive player.
I love what michael say's about scottie , because it was totaly true and i like that kind of humility , especialy from a guy like Jordan . That's the proof ( if it really necesary ) how good he is .
very underrated player in the NBA, without Scottie Pippen there would never be a Michael Jordan and Michael KNOWS IT, with the both of them on the court, they both was a giant force to be reckoned with
This wins dumbest take over anything Stephen A Smith would say. Jordan was a pheonom when drafted while Pippen was pathetic. Look at the teams stacked against him yeah he needed a good secondary teammate when you contend with the Celtics, Lakers, and Bad Boy Pistons even the Knicks were good. What did the great Pippen do without Jordan, nothing and they wanted Jordan back from baseball what does that say?
I remember going to a Bulls game in 97-98. Scottie Pippen screamed on Luc Longley! “GET IN THE LANE LUC!” That shit sent chills down my body! He was a true floor general!
Scottie didn't do a lot of trash talking and grandstanding as we hear and see today. Coaches and players in the NBA have learned from him. He was underpaid and deserves a top job in the NBA.
Scottie is the one players I NOTICED a considerable amount of improvement each year. I remember his 3rd year, I was like "man this guy keeps getting better every year, he's going to be something". I know exactly where on Earth I was when I said that....
I grew up a MJ fan..and Scottie was a big reason that the bulls was a beast. Scottie don't get a lot of credit..like MJ said without Scottie there is no 6 championships.
I understand that because Pippen was thick to thick with Jordon at one time before he started having back problems. People don’t like to mention he was playing hurt most of his career.
Speaking of Jordan being the greatest, to have him say that he, and the bulls dynasty, wouldn't have been as good as they were, with out Pippen, is even more proof of that. Pippen was a beast is every sense of the word. Fun to imagine what both of those guys would have ended up with without each other.
Most folks thought of Scottie was "Gabby Hayes" to MJ's Roy Rogers But Pro Basketball Ain't The Movies It's way past time that Scottie got the Recognition for just how Talented he really was
Scottie can say whatever he feels because he was overlooked and underrated back then. It’s hard to live in someone’s shadow when you contribute and put in just as much work
Pippen didn't put in as much work as Jordan and isn't underrated. Whether Pippen was on the Bulls or not he was never going to get more love than Jordan. Pippen gets more love for being associated with Jordan.
Scottie Pippen was no JOKE!!! NBA greats can hate on him all they want but they mad cuz they could stop his DOMINANCE!!! He was the 1st “Point Forward” and one of the best All- Around players to ever play!!! Scotty Pippen his greatness personified🏀💪🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Despite all his missteps since retiring, I respect Pippen's game to the max. Loved Jordan to, but without Scttie, Jordan ain't winning squat. What Jordan didn't do and Jackson didn't do was protect Scottie against the Bulls persistently underlying him. It cut Scottie to the bone. On the court, the man knew his role and played it to perfection.
I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. I loved watching the Bulls play and Scottie Pippen was my best player on that team. An all around player offensively and defensively. 💯👍🏽
I always think of of it this way Pippen was the second player in NBA history to lead his team in all statistical categories and the first from a playoff team. Dave Cowens was the first and the Celtics weren’t very good that year with stars retiring and missed the playoffs. Phil Jackson said he was the only player who could guard 1 thru 5 . Really says it all
Scottie Pippen was not Robin to Jordan's Batman.. Scottie Pippen was Nightwing. He was his own full grown man; who was in no ones shadow. Trust me, I saw every single game that he played with the Bullls.
Scottie is never 6'8, he is 6'9 or 6'10 with wingspan of 7'2 or more. Mannn he is fast and determined, imagine scottie defending someone whole court. That's torture
Pippen is definitely one of the best in the NBA. His game I.Q. and skill is uncanny. He and Jordan are the greatest duo the NBA has ever seen... Wow! Unfortunately, the Bulls organization did Pippen dirty with his contract; which he and his agent should've fought against. This is what caused, Pippen's resentment for the Bulls organization along with other team issues. But his style of gameplay is amazing. In fact, any NBA player from 1980's through the 1990's were far better than todays players because the league was harder and tougher back then so the level of skill and court I.Q. was unmatched even today. Although, MJ is the bonafide GOAT of the NBA hardwood, Pippen to me would be a on a list of 10 best in NBA history.
I wouldn't say unknown.. y'all gotta stop with the unknown .. if he was so much of an unknown how did he get picked 5th overall? Go look at his stats in college. Y'all gotta stop sayin he was an unknown or wasn't gonna be good.
@@Weight27 that's fair. Just sayin he wasn't a bum when he came out and nobody predicted he'd b that good but nobody was sayin he'd b a bum. I don't think the 87 draft was fulla a lot of supa talent either my guy
If Scottie didn't say all those thing after last dance launched, he would be one of the most loved legend now. Last dance revealed Scottie exactly who he is, one of the greatest defender of all time, one of the greatest point guard(he was really the point guard) of all time. But he's not a closer, he sometimes had problem. That's greatness, and humanity, there is no shame on that.
I can't stand this arsehole. He's not going to be the greatest in the world since he's not even the best player on his team. Scottie may not even be inside the Top 20 all-time stars. Or better yet, not even the Top 25. I did not enjoy The Last Dance. It should have been a video about MJ in the 80s, 90s & early 2000s. He was showing footage of people that didn't want to be taped. The last Championship in 1998 was my least favourite.
Duh you can have only one closer per se on a team...that's on every team..he won & closed many gms with & without mike..some of his insane blocks closed many gms there more was to close than hit the last shot..if you guard the other teams closer on the gm winning posession you sealed the win & closed the gm..as it's the win or lose last play, he did that often.
@@drk.i.a.2969 That's not true. Magic and Kareem were closers, Isiah, Dumars, Vinnie were closers, Klay, Curry and KD were closers. And many more. Pip just wasn't a closer
Scottie was one of the top 4players in the NBA for bout 10years proof look what he did the year Jordan left led the bulls back to the finals him self and Scottie will always be one of the best to ever play his position
Scotty Pippen would terrorize players defensively, he knew the triangle offense better than the back of his hand, he could finish from any position on the floor. One significant tactic of Phil Jackson was,if MJ was on the bench, Scotty was on the floor and vice versa. More terror for the opposing team was, being attacked by both.
Pippens athleticism was superb, the Hard work granted him the ability to spend that much energy at both sides of the court. On top of that his Nature was to complete whatever needed on the court to win games and I think we do not see many players like this. Superb Player in my all-time top 10 list I love you Scotty and thanks for all the great moments you have added to my life
There will never be another Pippen because no one will ever want to sacrifice themselves to be under someone else, to which a league can use the same people in it to try and take away what you helped achieve. Jordan knows he did wrong to Pippen in the Last Dance. Those transgressions Pippen did, he atoned for them. Only for his greatest teammate ever to soil his name post championships. Now Pippen calls Jordan out for what he is, and Pippen is delusional. Pre-MJ championships, all those guys on inside the NBA said the same thing about MJ that Pippen said. Now, all of a sudden Zeke contradicts it? The NBA is full of garbage anyway...
He sacrificed under someone else because he knew that someone else is wayyy better than him. Look at him when he went to Houston, he had no problem being the 3rd guy behind Hakeem and Barkley because he knows they are better than him. And he sure didnt want to sacrifice himself when Phil wanted Kukoc to close.
@@rossejera1661 A lot of players think, know, and feel other players are better than them or they're better than them. They still will not check their ego to willingly go into another man's shadow for the sake of winning. That's the point I'm trying to make.
No, there will never be another Pippen because he has the original tecnique of the basketball. I am an english football passionate, italian guy, and seeing basketball with my eyes, i tell you for me Pippen is the imagine of Basketball. Bird and Johnson are artist who played the game, but Scottie Pippen was the pure player. He is more clean and he can do jokes, too.
I just don’t know why Scottie can’t let go of all his resentment. People that know basketball knew how historically unique and irreplaceable to that team he was. There’s very few players in the history of basketball I could fathom trading him for if I was GM of that Bulls team
I was a season ticket holder and watched every professional game Scottie played. He was a super player. When MJ retired he led the team deal into the playoffs and they had no replacement for Michael Jordan. I think MJ is the GOAT but didn't win one championship without Scottie. Scottie endlessly burnt bridges but ppl should understand that was shortly after losing a son. Whatever his issues, his playing spoke volumes of just how good he was.
Charles and Zeke are playin themselves. But it makes sense. They were both so focused on MJ, they still don’t realize it was Pip LOCKING THEIR ASSES UP.
Nah, they just mad he will not kiss their @$$. The busted plenty of times. Isaiah coach, Chuck Daly, would trade him for Pippen in a heartbeat. Tex Winter said it himself, he love Pippen because was trying score just to score. He and Pippen knew the only way were going to sacrifices need to made to get team involved. And everyone one Isaiah had on that panel got busted on by Pippen. Weber himself Pippen was the best player in the game, before MJ came back with the Bulls beat the Bullets...lol!
Pipp said he never locked down Zeke. And Barkley EMBARRASSED Pipp with 25, 30, 35+ games 98% of the time. 4 players always destroyed Pipp at will: Grant Hill, Dirk, Kobe, and Barkley. Easy money.
I met PIPPEN when I was 10 .. he came to our tutoring center Montgomery Ward in Cabrini Green like 92 he signed my basketball card that I brought with me.. he said… (Yeah-You have a pen?) I was paralyzed with amazement & shock that SCOTTIE PIPPEN was talking to me ! Made me forget that I asked him- can you sign my card? *Yeah, You have a pen?* you should’ve seen those tutors and a few other people with him scrambling around to get a pen!! One of the milestones of my life👍🏾 Thanks Scottie! That experience was inspiration for me I’ve never forgotten it!! Mike is Mike but FOR ME it’s SCOTTIE PIPPEN 💪🏿 You’re only as good as your support. *PIPPEN is just different* 💯
Pip is one of my favorites and he turned out to be a great two way player. He didn't start out that way though. It was those intense work out sessions he had with MJ that pushed him to the next level. Being someone who came up in Chicago during the Bulls championship runs I don't believe Pip to be underrated. I think he has been given plenty of credit for his contribution to those title runs. Few credit him more than MJ himself. That stated, I wouldn't say that he "destroyed everybody". Grant Hill was one SF who used to give Pip a hard time.
In my opinion Scottie was for a short period in the top echelon of NBA players - but was, due to Jordan (directly and indirectly) held back and as a result of that, his contract and issues with injuries etc. he became very bitter. I think for the most part he was content with playing alongside and behind Jordan, especially when it lead to Championships, but at the same time he knows that had he moved away from the Bulls during that period he would have been able to absolutely star for a team and be looked at differently.
Who is they? Because it certainly isn't Jordan or the rest of the squad. They all know that they're not winning 6 championships without Scottie. Jordan says it almost every time the titles are brought up.
There is a chance Phil and/or Mike was not there for him. Antron was his oldest son and knew the team. It's that situation where you not there for me and you rip off the bandage of old wounds at the same time.
Hes not claiming to have done nothing, he just doesn't get credit of his true contributions,..bottomline no Pippen no rings..check the stats..also no final appearances for Mike in his his whole short (for a goat 16?) career..facts! Not an opinion..see how this shld work?..its called broad perspective.
@@drk.i.a.2969 15 years isn't a short career. MJ was drafted in 84-85, Pip was drafted n 87-88. Dumb argument. MJ winning with any competent team. And Pip gets his credit.

Couldn't win with Jordan
I'm not going to take away Pippen accomplishments but Jordan molded Pippen to who he is. Jordan and Pippen had extreme work outs with each other in the summer of 1989 and throughout the 89-90 season to be a better player a tougher player mentally and physically. Do you all remember when Jordan retired and gave the keys to the team to Pippen and Pippen couldn't handle the leadership role because it was too much pressure? Remember when Pippen was sitting on the bench wearing a pair of Jordan's and he lifted up his foot to the camera and pointed at the Jordan symbol to motion with his finger for Jordan to come back? Jordan presence alone made Pippen and everyone else on the floor job easier.

There was also a sick dunk by him in that game and a monstrous one in Game 5.
That particular series convinced me he was one of the top 10 players in history.
So your argument that Pippen is better than MJ is that he helped maintain winning a game while the best player was out? He got a huge rebound while Jordan was out? So otherwise Jordan was better at his job too.
@@jamescraven3493when did bro said that Scottie was better than MJ? You trippin
@@jamescraven3493 He didn't say Scottie was better than Michael…
I'll never forget the 1994 playoffs vs the NY Knicks when Pippen took himself out of the game with 1.8 seconds left because Phil Jackson drew the play up for Toni Kukoc to take the final shot and not him. Pippen was a very good player, but he was not a superstar.
*Scottie was a head of his time at the SF position, probably one of the most complete players to ever play the game, plus my 2nd fav player after the legendary Timmy D!*
Timmy D😂😂😂 . BORING but yea he was great😮😂
Agree with all comments about the positive nature of Scottie Pippen on the basketball court. Defensive player, who instigates offence. I have been previledged enough to watch all Scottie's six championships with MJ. Albeit through the Television.
People tend to forget that Scottie is 6ft8inch but he is so agile, like a 5ft something.
Thanks for this documentary.
ppl tend to add inches to players heights. Pippen was 6'7"
@@trebbz21even if they list him as 6'7 when he stood next to Jordan he was definitly more than an inch taller and MJ was a perfect 6 6... what about his wing span it was damn near 7 ft
@@kitrik23 his wingspan is 7 ft 3. damn thats crazy.
You say all 6 of Piipen's championships. Please look at what Jordan did and fix that. They were Jordan's that Pippen won with him not the way you stated.
My favorite player of all time! I'm 39 years old. I grew up watching the Bulls, everybody idolized Michael Jordan but I gravitated towards Scottie Pippen. He was ahead of his time, he was so versatile.
Same age, same thought 😉
I AGREE JORDAN IS THE GOAT BUT PIP WAS MY FAVORITE
Me three, same age too lol
Same same but different .
Me 4 - same age - practically same thoughts
Ever since the 90s up to now Pippen is still my favorite NBA player of all time.
Pippen is still my all time favorite NBA player. We are in 2023 by the way and I still buy his merch every now and then.
Scottie is my favorite player and i hate that he doesn't get any credit for the Bulls dynasty. He is definitely one of the most underrated players in history !!!
I dunno about that. He’s considered a top 50 player. I grew up on that Bulls team and he was pretty much irreplaceable in terms of fit. There’s very few players in my mind in the history of basketball that could have taken his place in that role, with that skill set, that intelligence on defense, that passing ability, that selflessness …that could win 6 chips with that bulls team.
In recent history, I’d say Khawi Leonard and Lebron-both at least equal to better athletes. Bruce Bowan maybe-but he’ wasn’t the scorer Scottie was. Bob Horry maybe-but he wasn’t the defender Scottie was. I’m convinced Bill Russell could have played the 3 at a hof level in any era, but it would have looked a little different.
Of course he did. We all know Pippen is one of the main players of Chicago.
How on earth doesnt he gets enough recognition...whenever we are talking about Bulls its about Jordan and Pippen...guys that dont get recognition are Harper, Rodman, Luc and Kukoc
I believe it is finally sinking in to Scottie that he never got his flowers while playing. He was just not branded like MJ was in the 90's hype machine. MJ was the face of the Bulls but Pippen was the heart and soul. Look at Pip's shoulders, a genetic beast.
The best all around player of all time!! He was a Dogg and still the most underrated player in the history of the NBA.
Absolutely not.
Lebron is the best all around player
LeBron couldn't beat Scottie
The year Pippen carried the Bulls without mj, Pip led his team in every major statistical category, that is the perfect definition of of being the best all-around jack of all trades type Elite player. Plus his ability to play or guard ANY position as well!
@@Matt-zp1jnexcept in crunch time shots. He didnt lead in that becuse he was scared to take the last shot .....kukoc did
Started watching NBA in94, pippen has been my favourite since day one, his defence is physical, technical, and most importantly very smart, but never dirty
I'm old enough to remember Karl Malone play. I can only recall two players having the courage to ta a charge from him. At 1:39, Pip did that. That takes balls because Karl didn't slow down. His motto was "Your first foul should always be a hard one." Pip was the man with his defense and versatility. He could leave his defender, surprise block a perimeter shooter and coast in for a slam at the other end. Amazing and beautiful.
I'm 43 and I'm so grateful I grew up being able to watch basketball back then. There will never be players like this again! The game has just changed! I'm a lifetime Piston fan. I love an old school defensive game! I remember the bad boys locking teams and great players down. Then the 03/04 pistons did the same. I don't remember seeing a team holding anyone to a point total in the 60s lol. They help that Lakers team to 65 pts twice in the finals lol. That's so ridiculous I don't think people realize it
Scottie was and is a Bulls and NBA legend. Even the ones that like to clown him (Isiah, Shaq, Barkley) can’t deny his skillset. Most of their animosity is personal .
Scottie is my all-time favorite player. People can't let go of the fact that Mike & Pip were never friends and never will be. Their games just complimented each other unbelievably. Pip lived what you only saw from the outside. Whatever he had to say about MJ is his truth not yours. Every single one of your opinions don't even begin to matter. Listen to what these cats are saying about Pip's game. 33Pippen33 was an absolute force.
You need a girlfriend my dude... Typing all that is ridiculous.
@Darius_Icewood I have several ma'am. It sounds like you need one if my statement bothers you in any way.
There is no such thing as his truth. There are his experiences and his opinions on them. But for it to be the truth it has to be factual. And some of what he says may be. But people were complimenting Jordan and knew he was special as a rookie and when there team was whooped. Pippen played second fiddle to Jordan the bulls with Jordan were immediately playoff bound and later champions, without Jordan struggled and those are just facts. Of course I recognize it is a team effort. I also concede he may not get enough credit but please don't confuse that with him being the GOAT.
well said
Scottie Pippen’s dunk on Patrick Ewing placed him amongst one of the all time best, my favorite play of Scottie Pippen
The way he talk recently was because of his book. But still because of him people was inspired to play defense. He is still my idol.
There was nothing bad mentioned in his book
My idol to
@@sefsvemira7482 As a Chicago Bulls fan in the 90s Michael Jordan is the gaot. There will never be a player like him no matter how good he is. Pippen was the best defensive player maybe the best in history Michael was also an excellent defensive player.
@@sefsvemira7482 u r clueless. jordan never guard tough players
@@sefsvemira7482 no the hell he wasn’t
I love what michael say's about scottie , because it was totaly true and i like that kind of humility , especialy from a guy like Jordan . That's the proof ( if it really necesary ) how good he is .
very underrated player in the NBA, without Scottie Pippen there would never be a Michael Jordan and Michael KNOWS IT, with the both of them on the court, they both was a giant force to be reckoned with
This wins dumbest take over anything Stephen A Smith would say. Jordan was a pheonom when drafted while Pippen was pathetic. Look at the teams stacked against him yeah he needed a good secondary teammate when you contend with the Celtics, Lakers, and Bad Boy Pistons even the Knicks were good. What did the great Pippen do without Jordan, nothing and they wanted Jordan back from baseball what does that say?
The 90s was the last Golden era of the NBA. I am privileged to have watched the Bulls every night growing up on WGN. Incredible memories
I remember going to a Bulls game in 97-98. Scottie Pippen screamed on Luc Longley! “GET IN THE LANE LUC!” That shit sent chills down my body! He was a true floor general!
He was great in a period of legends. Jordon, Ewing, Shaq, Barkley, Rodman, Payton, James....man the list is endless
Scottie didn't do a lot of trash talking and grandstanding as we hear and see today. Coaches and players in the NBA have learned from him. He was underpaid and deserves a top job in the NBA.
His underpayment for one season could help a family of four live lavish for years.
Scotty was one of the best im glad Jordan said he scotty need it each other
Scottie made more NBA than Jordan not underpaid
Wait! Scottie underpaid himself by signing that bogus contract even when the Bulls owners told him not to.
If i got to choose jordan, pip, and dennis, my next 2 player will be stockton and wilt/hakeem
Scottie is the one players I NOTICED a considerable amount of improvement each year. I remember his 3rd year, I was like "man this guy keeps getting better every year, he's going to be something". I know exactly where on Earth I was when I said that....
growing up watching his highlight videos and wanting to play defense with a passion like him
An athletic big who could run the offense and defend at a high level, his impact on winning was huge
One of the most underrated aspects of Scottie's game was his stamina, he could play and play some more, with unbelievable energy and stamina.
I grew up a MJ fan..and Scottie was a big reason that the bulls was a beast. Scottie don't get a lot of credit..like MJ said without Scottie there is no 6 championships.
Pippen hasn't helped his own legacy but the fact is he was an absolute monster on the court. He was a true warrior.
Pippen was my favorite in the era of Be Like Mike... says a lot when a 10 year old kid sees something beyond MJ.
Let's say our favorite bruh!!
Mine too
Good for you
LOL at thinking Pip is beyond MJ....
I understand that because Pippen was thick to thick with Jordon at one time before he started having back problems. People don’t like to mention he was playing hurt most of his career.
I called it for a long time. Where are all the Scottie Pippen videos....? Finally 🙏. TH-cam, keep them coming.
thanks, Pip for making me fall in love with basketball and enjoying every minute of my childhood basketball.
Pippen is my all time favorite player. He did it all and he looked good doing it.
so happy to see guys spoke highly about Scottie. I watched his play back to 90's. He deserves all the appreciation.
Speaking of Jordan being the greatest, to have him say that he, and the bulls dynasty, wouldn't have been as good as they were, with out Pippen, is even more proof of that. Pippen was a beast is every sense of the word. Fun to imagine what both of those guys would have ended up with without each other.
When 23 and 33 were both clicking, that was the best basketball. Perfect one two Punch.
Most folks thought of Scottie was "Gabby Hayes" to MJ's Roy Rogers
But
Pro Basketball Ain't The Movies
It's way past time that Scottie got the Recognition for just how Talented he really was
Zero MVPs
Scottie can say whatever he feels because he was overlooked and underrated back then. It’s hard to live in someone’s shadow when you contribute and put in just as much work
Pippen didn't put in as much work as Jordan and isn't underrated. Whether Pippen was on the Bulls or not he was never going to get more love than Jordan. Pippen gets more love for being associated with Jordan.
@@sideshowbobsaget8876 I guess you know homey firsthand 🤡
Scottie Pippen is a great player 👍
Absolutely 💪🏽
Was great in his era and would thrive in today’s NBA
All time great in fact.
Good player. His average is not that good. I mean just look out cocky. He is compared to Michael Jordan who is the much superior player.
There’s no better duo in nba history than Jordan/Pippen
Scottie Pippen was no JOKE!!! NBA greats can hate on him all they want but they mad cuz they could stop his DOMINANCE!!! He was the 1st “Point Forward” and one of the best All- Around players to ever play!!! Scotty Pippen his greatness personified🏀💪🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Despite all his missteps since retiring, I respect Pippen's game to the max. Loved Jordan to, but without Scttie, Jordan ain't winning squat. What Jordan didn't do and Jackson didn't do was protect Scottie against the Bulls persistently underlying him. It cut Scottie to the bone.
On the court, the man knew his role and played it to perfection.
Finally A Good documentary about Scotty Pippin from Shire.
I love Pipp. The way he moves is beautiful. Maybe he's said some crazy things lately, but he's more than entitled to in my book.
I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. I loved watching the Bulls play and Scottie Pippen was my best player on that team. An all around player offensively and defensively. 💯👍🏽
What u think MJ was?
I always think of of it this way Pippen was the second player in NBA history to lead his team in all statistical categories and the first from a playoff team. Dave Cowens was the first and the Celtics weren’t very good that year with stars retiring and missed the playoffs. Phil Jackson said he was the only player who could guard 1 thru 5 . Really says it all
Scottie Pippen was not Robin to Jordan's Batman.. Scottie Pippen was Nightwing. He was his own full grown man; who was in no ones shadow. Trust me, I saw every single game that he played with the Bullls.
Scottie is never 6'8, he is 6'9 or 6'10 with wingspan of 7'2 or more. Mannn he is fast and determined, imagine scottie defending someone whole court. That's torture
i saw it many times and yes it was torture. Scottie wouldve loved the new 8 second rule.
Pippen had so much heart every team went to went to playoffs...not super teams either like today's game ....
Pippen is definitely one of the best in the NBA. His game I.Q. and skill is uncanny. He and Jordan are the greatest duo the NBA has ever seen... Wow!
Unfortunately, the Bulls organization did Pippen dirty with his contract; which he and his agent should've fought against. This is what caused, Pippen's resentment for the Bulls organization along with other team issues. But his style of gameplay is amazing. In fact, any NBA player from 1980's through the 1990's were far better than todays players because the league was harder and tougher back then so the level of skill and court I.Q. was unmatched even today.
Although, MJ is the bonafide GOAT of the NBA hardwood, Pippen to me would be a on a list of 10 best in NBA history.
He came into the NBA as an unknown you know who he is now that is a testament to how good that he was.
There's plenty of unknowns out there. The problem is that there's a lot of knows out there disrespected. Pippin is a primary example
I wouldn't say unknown.. y'all gotta stop with the unknown .. if he was so much of an unknown how did he get picked 5th overall? Go look at his stats in college. Y'all gotta stop sayin he was an unknown or wasn't gonna be good.
@@saywhatYADIG ok how about he wasn't as popular as other draft picks

Dang. They started roasting this man towards the end. Pippen is a legend. He is so underrated. Jordan said it best.
I think Pipen is one of the most underated players. He was amazing while at Portland in late years of his career.
If Scottie didn't say all those thing after last dance launched, he would be one of the most loved legend now.
Last dance revealed Scottie exactly who he is, one of the greatest defender of all time, one of the greatest point guard(he was really the point guard) of all time. But he's not a closer, he sometimes had problem. That's greatness, and humanity, there is no shame on that.
I can't stand this arsehole. He's not going to be the greatest in the world since he's not even the best player on his team. Scottie may not even be inside the Top 20 all-time stars. Or better yet, not even the Top 25. I did not enjoy The Last Dance. It should have been a video about MJ in the 80s, 90s & early 2000s. He was showing footage of people that didn't want to be taped. The last Championship in 1998 was my least favourite.
Duh you can have only one closer per se on a team...that's on every team..he won & closed many gms with & without mike..some of his insane blocks closed many gms there more was to close than hit the last shot..if you guard the other teams closer on the gm winning posession you sealed the win & closed the gm..as it's the win or lose last play, he did that often.
@@drk.i.a.2969 yup, that’s exactly right, he’s one of the best defenders of all time.

Scottie was one of the top 4players in the NBA for bout 10years proof look what he did the year Jordan left led the bulls back to the finals him self and Scottie will always be one of the best to ever play his position
Shaq is lying to himself when he said scottie wasn't a factor
Scottie Pippin is one of the most well rounded players ever. Not to elevate him to another category, but he was great. He could be as good today.
In this era players from the 90s would stomp the scene. They had to fight for buckets back then. Now they sending out invites to the bucket!
Scotty Pippen would terrorize players defensively, he knew the triangle offense better than the back of his hand, he could finish from any position on the floor. One significant tactic of Phil Jackson was,if MJ was on the bench, Scotty was on the floor and vice versa. More terror for the opposing team was, being attacked by both.
Pippens athleticism was superb, the Hard work granted him the ability to spend that much energy at both sides of the court. On top of that his Nature was to complete whatever needed on the court to win games and I think we do not see many players like this. Superb Player in my all-time top 10 list I love you Scotty and thanks for all the great moments you have added to my life
Underrated for sure, great video like always

Right!!! I was under the assumption for years that he had several!!! I'm not aure how that happened. It would be a good video.
MJ that's why
There will never be another Pippen because no one will ever want to sacrifice themselves to be under someone else, to which a league can use the same people in it to try and take away what you helped achieve. Jordan knows he did wrong to Pippen in the Last Dance. Those transgressions Pippen did, he atoned for them. Only for his greatest teammate ever to soil his name post championships. Now Pippen calls Jordan out for what he is, and Pippen is delusional. Pre-MJ championships, all those guys on inside the NBA said the same thing about MJ that Pippen said. Now, all of a sudden Zeke contradicts it? The NBA is full of garbage anyway...
He sacrificed under someone else because he knew that someone else is wayyy better than him. Look at him when he went to Houston, he had no problem being the 3rd guy behind Hakeem and Barkley because he knows they are better than him. And he sure didnt want to sacrifice himself when Phil wanted Kukoc to close.
@@rossejera1661 He was a team player. He wanted to win.
@@michaelalbertson7457 never said he wasn't
@@rossejera1661 A lot of players think, know, and feel other players are better than them or they're better than them. They still will not check their ego to willingly go into another man's shadow for the sake of winning. That's the point I'm trying to make.
No, there will never be another Pippen because he has the original tecnique of the basketball. I am an english football passionate, italian guy, and seeing basketball with my eyes, i tell you for me Pippen is the imagine of Basketball. Bird and Johnson are artist who played the game, but Scottie Pippen was the pure player. He is more clean and he can do jokes, too.
I just don’t know why Scottie can’t let go of all his resentment. People that know basketball knew how historically unique and irreplaceable to that team he was. There’s very few players in the history of basketball I could fathom trading him for if I was GM of that Bulls team
Definitely one of the best and one of my favorite players!
Ppl say he was overrated cuz he didn’t shine when he left Chicago. He was at end of his career😮
Thank you Scottie for a the Ships and all the memories. We all know your one of the greatest
I love how they compliment each other❤❤ great memories with Pippen and Jordan.
I was a season ticket holder and watched every professional game Scottie played. He was a super player. When MJ retired he led the team deal into the playoffs and they had no replacement for Michael Jordan. I think MJ is the GOAT but didn't win one championship without Scottie. Scottie endlessly burnt bridges but ppl should understand that was shortly after losing a son. Whatever his issues, his playing spoke volumes of just how good he was.
Bulls brought in Kukoc, Longley, Kerr, Pete, Wennington, Blount.
*Thank you for such inspiring video. Really love your contents. Keep up the great work! 💪*
Charles and Zeke are playin themselves. But it makes sense. They were both so focused on MJ, they still don’t realize it was Pip LOCKING THEIR ASSES UP.
No he wasn't...lol
CB34 used to roast Pippen ass, just like Nique worthy Penny Grant etc etc
Nah, they just mad he will not kiss their @$$. The busted plenty of times. Isaiah coach, Chuck Daly, would trade him for Pippen in a heartbeat. Tex Winter said it himself, he love Pippen because was trying score just to score. He and Pippen knew the only way were going to sacrifices need to made to get team involved. And everyone one Isaiah had on that panel got busted on by Pippen. Weber himself Pippen was the best player in the game, before MJ came back with the Bulls beat the Bullets...lol!
Isiah is so childish when it comes to the Bulls
Pipp said he never locked down Zeke. And Barkley EMBARRASSED Pipp with 25, 30, 35+ games 98% of the time. 4 players always destroyed Pipp at will: Grant Hill, Dirk, Kobe, and Barkley. Easy money.

Pip is one of my favorites and he turned out to be a great two way player. He didn't start out that way though. It was those intense work out sessions he had with MJ that pushed him to the next level.
Being someone who came up in Chicago during the Bulls championship runs I don't believe Pip to be underrated. I think he has been given plenty of credit for his contribution to those title runs. Few credit him more than MJ himself. That stated, I wouldn't say that he "destroyed everybody". Grant Hill was one SF who used to give Pip a hard time.
In my opinion Scottie was for a short period in the top echelon of NBA players - but was, due to Jordan (directly and indirectly) held back and as a result of that, his contract and issues with injuries etc. he became very bitter.
I think for the most part he was content with playing alongside and behind Jordan, especially when it lead to Championships, but at the same time he knows that had he moved away from the Bulls during that period he would have been able to absolutely star for a team and be looked at differently.
Pippen is that kind of player who could be MVP of a match by scoring 4 points... that says all.
