Jordan said himself in The Last Dance that whenever you mention him, you should also mention Scottie because he couldn’t do it without him. It’s a team sport. They were a dynamic duo
Vlad was trying set him up."Agree or disagree"?! Agreeing or disagreeing would have been a lose lose for him .Im glad the worm didnt fall for the trap😉😝
In a team sport... there is not one single outstanding player who can get to the top of the mountain without their teammates, coaches and supporting staff absolutely putting the hammer down in all the other departments.
Jordan feels sorry for dude because his son smashing Pipp ex 😂 they were a hellova duo but that was MJ team Pipp was the little Brother and MJ was and always will be better
They were never friends. Here's a fun fact: MJ, Pippen, and Rodman NEVER hung out they just played together. Rodman said it himself. And that's why Pippen's ex has no problem dating MJs son. They didn't know eachother like that. They sure did kick ass on the court though.

@@kanyecrazy7440 It 1000% wasn’t a sneak anything. Dennis has always talked direct, unapologetic, and unfiltered. The issue is our society is so watered down when someone speaks direct some people like yourself (and no disrespect) are shocked and think it’s disrespectful. Long story short more people in the world BS others and people like Barkley, Rodman, and Mike Tyson clearly are all very transparent when they speak.
Mike got rookie of the year and had his best season in 88’ individually. True Mike needed more help to win but I hate the narrative that people say Pippen help make Mike. He came in like that!
Pippen was a unbelievable player. I’m a massive MJ fan. I graduated high school in 1995 and Jordan was a GOD then. But without Scottie I don’t think that the Bulls are winning all those championships. MJ and Pippen are the best combo in NBA history.
That 72 win team could’ve possibly won without pippin. He had back problems all playoffs They stove had a stacked bench. Plus Ron Harper Toni kukoc did some of the same tangible things as pippin accept for on the defensive end. My opinion
@@Square-Life_Bracktrue but Scottie was different even when he did not score 20 or 30 points he would shutdown the opposing team best scorer. That opened things up for Jordan , you take Scottie out they can double up on Jordan and Ron Harper was my dude but he was not Pippin
Scottie Pipen couldn't win a title without Jordan either. When Pipen was with Portland, he had talent on that roster. They couldn't get past Kobe or Shaq
I wish yal stop saying this dumb shit yal acting like pippen couldn't be replaced that's the case Bron would've neva learned how to win without wade 💯 tf outta here
@oliveiravilela7460 True but from the time MJ entered the league he was Unstoppable, they all tryna force this MJ cudnt do it without Scottie Mindset Down Everyone's Throat which MJ Himself has already said but yet NO ONE is sayn tht it took 3yrs for Scottie Develop, where was Scottie wen MJ scored 63 against Boston after an injury, where was Scottie wen MJ Won MVP DPOY & LEAD THE NBA IN SCORING in wht was then a BIG MAN'S LEAGUE.😊
They both needed each other, both great on defense,both great scorers and even now almost 30 years later they are considered two of the greatest defenders and greatest duos in basketball. But if I was force to choose one it’ll be MJ of course
@@beery6659 no. Scottie was never greenlighted, you can't be the primary scorer, push point and still have to grab bounds. When Mike did that and they didn't win anything. Having more points wins. Of course. But how do that has many nuances. And it's not just about better scoring abilities.
MJ was NEVER a great leader. He was a shit leader, that is why he couldn't win shit until Phil came along. He's been leading a team since he left the NBA and they're consistently the worst.
Great leaders doesn't punch his teammates especially those in such a different weight scale. You also don't need to bully your teammates or even trash talk your opposition. Calling mugsy a midget was uncalled for. He's dealt with that all his life. Making to the NBA to him was a mental and emotional victory.😊
I disagree with John Salley because many players have done what Scottie Pippen has done. But no human ever has done what Michael Jordan has done. The amount of skill required to lead the NBA in scoring 10 times is unprecedented besides Michael Jordan. The amount of skill required to lead the NBA in scoring and lead a team to the NBA championship in the same season is Unprecedented. Jordan did it 6 times. I think only 2 other players did it once, Kareem and somebody. Scoring is a skill. Scoring is many skills. To lead the NBA in scoring 10 times and to have the highest points per game scoring average in the history of the NBA is truckloads of skills. EDIT: Jordan is clearly more skilled than Pippen, it's a VERY stupid question. Anybody who disagrees is clearly far below me. I don't debate goofballs far below me. Goodbye goofballs.
its funny how the media is trying to systematically tear down Jordan lol. what was Magic without Kareem? what was Bird without McHale? what was Kobe without Shaq or Gasol what was Lebron without Wade, Irving and A.D.? you can do this with everybody because it is a team sport!
Well said. MJ was a solo assassin but all that hard work means nothing without a great team assembled around you. Once he got the missing components he 3 peated twice and never went to a game 7. MJ has the stats and facts to go with all of his praise. Ain’t nothing subjective about facts lol
@@jmickens313 Mj was a top draft pick, have you all forgot that the worse teams get the top picks, it took time to build that bulls team. You folk literally just got to be Jordan haters. Bc y’all never make any sense whatsoever
Nike has done a masterful job of programming people. People are so programmed that they can only see "one" great player. Forever selling shoes. (literally and figuratively)
Wouldn’t that hurt their other athletes they endorse? LeBron is a Nike guy and I’ve never seen Nike market LeBron the same as Jordan. You would think they would want to promote the present and future. Jordan is probably already as big as it’s ever going to get.
They also both needed Phil Jackson and Text Winter. It’s amazing how so many people say MJ didn’t win without Scottie, but it’s rare when people mention Phil and Tex.
Phil didn’t win shii before Jordan or without the greatest 1-2 punch duo ever with Kobe & Shaq & Jordan led the Bulls wit rodman to the #1 seed & won the chip in 98 when Scottie was a decoy dealing with back problems he had 8 points in game 6 the hell u talking bout
@@2rawww4tvkdJordan didn’t win anything before Phil as well. But Phil won without Jordan. Shaq and Kobe didn’t win anything before Phil, but Phil won without Both of them. While Shaq was the only one able to get one without Jordan but he won that one off the back of Wade and Pat Riley who was Phil before Phil. Phil is still the common denominator in the entire equation.
@@2rawww4tvkd Smh this is what happens when time passes and typically a younger person doesn’t know the history of the person there speaking on. Phil Jackson won a championship as a player with the Knicks and he won a CBA title and coach of the year 1984. He also has several other accomplishments prior to working for the Bulls. Why do you think the Bulls brought him in…why do you think MJ said he’s not playing without Phil… Clearly they needed each other (Phil, MJ, Scottie, and others) but when people act like anyone coach could have won with MJ and Scottie that’s complete BS. Phil only receives credit from people that actually know and understand basketball.
What people tend to leave out is, scottie wasnt some 5 star, highly praised draft pick. Mike molded him (like all his players) into a reliable nba role player. If scotty woulda been drafted by any other team he'd be jeff green. Jordan taught him the drive, focus and toughness to win in the league.
Bingo!! They act like Scottie came in wrecking shop!! It took plenty of years before Pip became a legit sidekick. I wish people would look at some of those games in Pips first few years. He was like a deer in the headlights… Mike accelerated his growth and they ultimately sharpened each other.
@@mauiworld8022 bro ur already on youtube, go youtube a bulls game and stop vomiting out nick wright propaganda. The last dance docu literally had scotty and other players saying "mike was getting us ready" aka molding. Scotty avg 7 pts his first year and didnt even start.
That's not true . Jordan made an entire film dissing pippin and acting like he won the rings by himself. Thts y pippin is mad. Ur just another Jordan meat eater
Yeah. Scottie is on the flip side to an extent. But I dare say Mike took most of the pie for the miniseries and maybe Scottie finally said, "enough". That ain't to say he ain't on a salty tip now. He's got a lot going on. His old lady is banging Mike's son. His kid died. He's always been bad with his loot. I think there are moving parts to it that people don't acknowledge.
Pippen is not the only one who says stuff about MJ. Mj is known to be a selfish douchebag. The Wizards players kicked MJ off the team and out the league
@@righteousmasculine, that ain't true. Scottie only guarded him for about half of game 2 because MJ was in foul trouble. Jordan guarded him the majority of the time
The issue I have with this is that Pippens rookie year, he averaged 7.9 ppg, playing 20.9 MPG. Pippens 2nd year, he only averaged 14 ppg, playing 33.1 MPG. So to say that Pippen was some big star, or had much of any impact on the team winning those first 2-3 years right of the bat, is crazy, especially when he wasn’t playing any better than the guy he replaced, till his 3rd year.
Don't let the PPG fool you. What Scottie did on the defensive end is what excelled the Bulls he also did all the dirty work on both ends of the floor and was an underrated facilator. His PPg his first two seasons may appear underwhelming but make no mistake every season he got better it made the Bulls a Hella of a better team and a contender. MJ didn't get past the 1st round till Scottie Pippen came along.
@@davidcici11Evolution The issue is that he scored less than the guy he replaced for two seasons. Any defensive improvement was washed by that. Anyone who watched the Bulls then knows that Pippen was bad his first year, better but still just only ok his second year, much improved and a star his 3rd year, and a superstar his 4th year. To say that a guy who averaged 7.9/3/2 and 14/6/3 his second year was some massive star who was the reason they advanced further is just ridiculous.
@@JohnDoe-zr8pc yet MJ was 1-9 without Pippen. Regardless of how pedestrian his numbers were his first 2 seasons Jordan definitely depended on him for longer playoff success. Scoring doesn't tell the whole picture. Derek fisher was crucial to the Lakers playoff success. He didn't score much but the Lakers didn't win without him. There is a whole documentary talking about Derek Fisher turned the ship around for that 2nd Lakers championship team. Pippen was better than the player he replaced.
@@davidcici11EvolutionScottie pippen or Phil Jackson wouldn't make a difference if they was on the bulls from 1984-1987 ...due to the environment of the NBA at the time and bad the bulls were.They start cleaning up the NBA once the pippen got drafted. MJ would still have a losing record he had those guys.
Also don't forget mj taught pippen how to develop his game and grow a set while playing, that's really how pip became an all around great player. Somewhere else he might not have
@@VillainArch22 ahhh ok well your probably the only 1 who thinks pippen developed into the player he became on his own. Why do you think mj and pippen practice so much alone. Do some research first.
@@VillainArch22 Pippen was struggling to score over 10 points for his first couple of seasons. If he was in Lebron's team he would have had his ass traded away for someone better before even blossoming. MJ made Scottie better, not the other way around. You are clueless.
Let’s stop the BS right now, everyone saying Jordan wasn’t winning before Scottie Pippen got there , you are right, but you know why you are right? Bcus Michael Jordan didn’t have great team mates, the second highest scoring player on the Bulls was Charles Oakley. And he averaged 12 points a game. How the hell you gone win when you’re second best player is averaging 12 points? And Don’t get it twisted when Scottie got to the Bulls he was garbage. Michael trained him to be who he became.and let’s not forget Phil Jackson had the biggest impact to Jordan’s career, with the triangle offense.
And people forget MJ’s obsession with winning inspired the Mamba mentality. Scottie learned how obsessed MJ was with defeating his opponents from being his teammate. Scottie is deserving of all his praise but people act like Scottie was the master teacher that came to Chicago and schooled MJ on how to elevate his game lol they helped each other but Jordan’s obsession was second to none. His “competitive drive” as he likes to call it
The facts are MJ couldn’t win til Scottie, and Phil got there. MJ never made it to one Conference or NBA finals before he got help. It’s very safe to say Pippen was the Bulls MVP. MJ wasn’t concerned with helping making his teammates better, and that pissed Phil off. So implementing Scottie as the point-forward was genius for Phil to do. MJ still shot a lot but within the flow of the offense. MJ mastered his post up game, and did a great job adjusting his game, but, MJ would’ve been another Bernard King without Pippen.
@@1dawg243 That sounds ridiculous, Scottie Pippen was complaining about headaches when him and Jordan were playing the Pistons. Michael Jordan was going to be great period . And no he wouldn’t have been another Bernard King. You are aware that Michael Jordan was the first player to win MVP and defensive player of the year in the same year. Also he was on the first defensive teams 9 times in his career. Scottie was a great add on to the Bulls, but he couldn’t lead no team.those 90s Bulls had a great roster and a great coach, but don’t get it confused they don’t win 6 tities without Michael’s skill set, his determination to win and his competitiveness . Scottie Pippen was Robin, and that’s ok.
But the same arguments used FOR Jordan have to be used against him … Those Jordan didn’t win … don’t matter … because they don’t matter for anyone else … Jordan NEEDED Pippen and there proof just look
How are you going to say that after Rodman himself just said scottie was a better player . He was fucking they're in the court you were sitting on your ass think about it
Its crazy how people think the bulls started winning once Pippen got there, but it was when Krause took over as GM when they started putting things together.
he was literally with the traveling cocaine circus of chicago, crack heads who drink beer during half time supposed to be "help", scottie avg 9 pts a game rookie season, MJ avg 28 in his rookie season, they are 2 different classes of players
People act like Jordan isn’t aware he could not have won without Scottie … Jordan NEVER denied that and acknowledged it in The Last Dance and his HOF speech .. MJ didn’t even thank his parents first he thanked Scottie
And? That has nothing to do with the public's perception of Michael Jordan. Not all his fans have watched The Last Dance or are even capable of digesting those words.
There is about 20 other players who could have been MJ's sidekick. Nobody would have carried Scottie's ungrateful, overrated ass to 6 rings. This was never a 1A-1B type of duo. MJ was the leader and he was light years ahead of Pippen...
Vlad sugar coating the quote, Scottie said that Jordan was a terrible player. He didn’t say he wasn’t a great player because that implies that Jordan was good. It’s a difference.
I’ve never seen a man (Scottie) cry so much to get credit for his career, and then a bunch of people give him credit, but the reality is he always got credit. Scottie got credit from MJ a million times, from his coaches, his contemporaries, media, etc. It’s crazy how some people don’t see this smh.
I don’t get it either. Like you said Scottie has gotten his praise for decades. And MJ has always been humble in interviews. Giving Scottie his props and even the ones that inspired him like Dr J and Oscar Robertson. MJ ALWAYS showed Scottie love. That’s what makes Scottie look like a baffoon these days trying so hard to prove something that’s already established.
@@karrionwilliams92 no bro ur wrong and hes right scottie has been buffooning when we heard nothing but great things from people like salley, rodman and mj himself when it came to scottie i just think hes probably jealous cuz mj is always in the Goat conversation but scottie himself isnt in it thats probably why hes been acting up no MVPs no finals MVPs not even DPOY 🤦🏾🤦🏾
They got rid of some pieces, added some key pieces, then grew up together and learned how to win….just like the Pistons. Jordan was the centerpiece, but it goes without saying that nobody wins alone in team sports. As great as Jordan, Pippen and Phil were, they wouldn’t have three-peated the second time without Rodman and Harper.
Jordan was a superstar, and the best player in the league from his rookie year on. A few years before Pippen even came into the league. Jordan started the All-Star game his rookie year, and never looked back. Every team and every player in the league was scared of playing against Jordan. The bulls, however started to become a winning team when Pippen arrived. All of the Bulls knew where their bread was buttered. The Bulls probably would have eventually won it all without Pippen, but never without Jordan.
Both Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen to me were the best duo in the NBA at that time and they both won six championships together and the Bulls were just a good team with a excellent coach in Phil Jackson. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Bulls were 26-12 with MJ in 98 WITHOUT Pippen and the number 1 seed😂 Scottie waited til the season started to let the team know he was having surgery, thinking it would prove the Bulls needed him cause of his contract holdout but it backfired. Wonder why nobody talks about how Chicago won 55 games with Horace the yr Jordan left but in yr 2 when Horace left for Orlando and made the finals his 1st yr there, Chicago was struggling with just Pippen and 22-25 at one point before MJ returned to help them become the 4th seed in the East🤔
And the bulls almost had the same record without Jordan the year Jordan didn't play and only lost to the Knicks in the playoffs on a very questionable foul call
@@jamesharris7556 Bulls also added 10 new players that Jordan didn’t play with til he returned. I’m guessing you didn’t read the Horace Grant part? Bulls were 22-25 at one point once Horace left and it was just Scottie. Horace also averaged 18 & 13 on Pippen in 95 to eliminate Chicago and went on to the finals his first yr in Orlando. Horace also went to the finals his first yr in LA and won a ring that same yr. So was it really Pippen or was it really Horace but ppl never gave him his credit?
@@tarrellsmith3260 Horace helped Jordan win his first 3 rings but let you Jordan fans tell it Jordan had no help Dennis and Sally gave their opinions take it or leave it they were there
@@jamesharris7556 Name Jordan’s help before Pippen and Horace cause I’ll wait😂 No one says Jordan had no help after Scottie and Horace was drafted. Let Jordan haters tell it, Scottie won 55 gms alone but y’all never mention him still having Phil, an all defensive teammate and 2 other all stars but Pippen won 55 gms right?😂
@@tarrellsmith3260 no one hates on Jordan we all know he one of the greatest of all time but you Jordan fans act like he didn't have any help no player and you all hates to give other players credit for anything the bulls were loaded because a player doesn't make all star team doesn't mean they can't play
Damn... I didn't expect a jewel like this to come from Rodman. He's right though. People, no matter how famous or successful, hate on the more successful.
He do get respect lol he made the 50 greatest all time off just 16ppg and no defense awards but he won 6 and played with mj .... but after bulls couldn't get it done... he didn't save the franchise he played on a great team
What does that have to do with MJ being the GOAT??? Scottie dint make MJ better be made the bulls team better and great, he completed the team, he was the missing link. MJ was still great, but no player can win on his or her own unless they playing an individual sport.
NEWSFLASH! There have been and will always be teammates of great players that have different opinions than others. LeBron, Magic, Bird, Kobe, Shaw, MJ, etc have all had former teammates not place them on the highest pedestal at times. That doesn’t take away from there greatness.
I will always be Scottie pippen fan he was my favorite player growing up no matter what Magic/Kareem- Kobe/Shaq Kobe/Gasol Curry/Thompson/Green everyone needed the 2nd guy or had them on multi champ team. only ones that beat everyone are the Celtics of Russell,Halvlicek,Cousey,Heinsohn,Sam Jones
Jordan was already a superstar before Pippen showed up. However Jordan needed Pippen and Jackson to start winning championship. He also needed Grant and Rodman. Jordans wasn’t really like someone like Bird, Magic or Kareem who would give a team an extra 20 wins a game the first day the stepped on the floor and take a team deep into the playoffs. However once the needed additions showed up with Pippen, Grant (and later Rodman) and Jackson, his team was a dynasty beyond Magic and Bird.
I know this was a month ago and I see where you’re coming from but I have a tough time buying into this due to the fact magic walked into a Ferrari of a team as well as bird. While Jordan walked into a hooptie and leveled it up to Rolls Royce
I think you’re wrong. I think if Jordan takes Magics spot be plays second fiddle to Kareem for a few years. You have to remember Scottie was to the Bulls what Magic was to the Lakers which was a facilitater. Micheal was an offensive juggernaut now if he had taken Birds place then yes he would have had a greater impact. The problem most uneducated basketball people think is Scottie can just be replaced with someone like Barkley or Clyde and it’s not true. You can replace Micheal with a guy like Grant Hill possibly or a Magic but you can’t just throw a scorer in there and assume they gel. Scottie did way more on the basketball court than people want to admit.
@@danielmarlatt7487give Jordan Barkley or Drexler in 89 instead of a 2nd yr Pippen and the Bulls win the chip. Pippen wasn't top 50 in the league in 89 and the Bulls were already taking the Champs to six games
John Salley and Robert Parish forgot that Jordan was a reason they got another ring. Pippen is very skilled but they go against Jordan so much they forget that Jordan was doing what Pippen was doing before Pippen arrived back in the 80’s. Plus putting up over 30 ppg. And he is only 6’6. But during the Bulls 90’s run, that was Pip’s role to be one of the primary ball handlers.
@@crowowlraven9971 no hating is when they bring up Jordan’s name and you say something crazy because you and that person may not have gotten along due to the skill you lacked as a role player. Look at John Salley as a NBA player. Now where do you rate him as a player? That’s why Rodman said what he said after he was asked about Pippen being more skilled. Robert Parish is the same way when they get a chance to hate. They don’t like the man. I’m sure if Jordan was asked about both he would do that same laugh he did on the Last Dance.
@@beery6659 exactly John Salley is a regular guest but he will always talk about Jordan in the opposite manner when the question is presented. It’s as if the Pistons never recovered from that loss.
I know a lot of you guys out there can't comprehend, but yes Jordan needed a sidekick to convert his effort into wins. Jordan could've probably won eventually but when you have a 2nd option that draws attention it makes it a lot easier. It's that simple. Pippen made Jordan's road to success a lot easier. Instead of having to do everything by himself.
@@WorkhardPlayhard651 came out the gate scorching. He played that style though because he had to play the cards he was dealt. On a Bulls team that wasn't making noise. Then MJ comes & now there's a ton of noise. The other dynasty teams were already solidified. So yes he struggled vs them because those teams were all around. And Horace Grant came & helped that situation along with Scottie. Now MJ has some pieces to work with. It's only right. Jordan was the motor though they're not going nowhere unless he's on.
“I watched Scottie play before he came to play with the Bulls. He was HORRIBLE player. He was HORRIBLE to play with. He couldn’t do anything one on one, he was scared to take shots. And then…when Bulls got together and became a team and started winning, everyone forgot he was” Scottie was not good at all when he was drafted in ‘87, but he DEVELOPED into an all time great. Jordan ALWAYS gave him his props, so he really needs to stop slandering the man’s name. If Pippen had been drafted by another team, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he would never have developed into the HOF player he became with the Bulls.
Jordan did more for pippen than pippen did for Jordan…Pip was still a great player but I highly doubt he would have become they player he did had it not been for Jordan. You cannot say mj would have not been the same without pippen…
Dennis deserves more recognition outside of his profession. He is a legend and fashion icon. He's a huge inspiration for men who are afraid to Express there feminity. You don't have to be gay to express your femmine side looool. He's big inspiration of mines.
I agree with Dennis that Scottie did all the dirty work. That's why teams went after Scottie Physically to disrupt his game. Jordan was too strong mentally and it didn't rattle him.
I Noticed no one Answered the question :who is more skillful, Mike or Scottie. Rodman was trying his best to avoid the question. Of course we know you need backup players for your lead man.
"Michael couldn't do it by himself". Yeah, no sh!t. Neither could Magic, Bird, Kareem, Lebron, Kobe, etc. As if that is such a groundbreaking proclamation. And last I checked, Scottie didn't win sh!t without MJ either.
Can we take a look at Scotties career minus Jordan? When Jordan left the game the first time? When Scottie left the Bulls? Run those stats. I’m curious. I’m not saying he wasn’t a great player.
Jordan and Pippen are the best 1-2 combo in NBA history and possibly even in all of sports history. Pippen was the perfect teammate for Jordan. He played excellent defense and could get rebounds , assists and score. They needed each other. No 1 or 2 or 3 players can win titles in the nba. You need a great team with good players. The Bulls won 55 games without MJ. What if they would of brought in an all star caliber player to replace MJ with? They would of been title contenders cause they had a great team and a great coach as well as a great GM.
Dennis never said Scottie was a better player than MJ. I mean Scottie played a good role in MJ success but MJ is MJ man. If he is on yo team for sure winning is not that hard.
Vlad rodman didn’t say the same thing scottie said. He said Jordan was averaging 40 b4 scottie. Scottie was a piece added to the puzzle that helped mike because he couldn't do it himself.
The irony was Rodman saying everyone wants to shit on others to get attention….then inadvertently shits on today’s era when he goes “If Scotty was playing today he’d average a triple double”
Jordan said himself in The Last Dance that whenever you mention him, you should also mention Scottie because he couldn’t do it without him. It’s a team sport. They were a dynamic duo

Jordan was never a horrible player! Scottie helped Jordan become a champion, but Jordan was always a great player/leader!!
MJ was NEVER a great leader. He was a shit leader, that is why he couldn't win shit until Phil came along. He's been leading a team since he left the NBA and they're consistently the worst.
Great leaders doesn't punch his teammates especially those in such a different weight scale. You also don't need to bully your teammates or even trash talk your opposition. Calling mugsy a midget was uncalled for. He's dealt with that all his life. Making to the NBA to him was a mental and emotional victory.😊

Facts
I disagree with John Salley because many players have done what Scottie Pippen has done. But no human ever has done what Michael Jordan has done. The amount of skill required to lead the NBA in scoring 10 times is unprecedented besides Michael Jordan. The amount of skill required to lead the NBA in scoring and lead a team to the NBA championship in the same season is Unprecedented. Jordan did it 6 times. I think only 2 other players did it once, Kareem and somebody. Scoring is a skill. Scoring is many skills. To lead the NBA in scoring 10 times and to have the highest points per game scoring average in the history of the NBA is truckloads of skills.
EDIT: Jordan is clearly more skilled than Pippen, it's a VERY stupid question. Anybody who disagrees is clearly far below me. I don't debate goofballs far below me. Goodbye goofballs.
That just means you get to shoot more than everyone else that makes you a ball hog

Clearly they needed each other (Phil, MJ, Scottie, and others) but when people act like anyone coach could have won with MJ and Scottie that’s complete BS.
Phil only receives credit from people that actually know and understand basketball.
What people tend to leave out is, scottie wasnt some 5 star, highly praised draft pick. Mike molded him (like all his players) into a reliable nba role player. If scotty woulda been drafted by any other team he'd be jeff green. Jordan taught him the drive, focus and toughness to win in the league.

Yeah. Scottie is on the flip side to an extent. But I dare say Mike took most of the pie for the miniseries and maybe Scottie finally said, "enough". That ain't to say he ain't on a salty tip now. He's got a lot going on. His old lady is banging Mike's son. His kid died. He's always been bad with his loot. I think there are moving parts to it that people don't acknowledge.
If Scottie didn’t guard magic when they played the lakers in the finals it would have been over for them. The best duo ever
Pippen is not the only one who says stuff about MJ.
Mj is known to be a selfish douchebag.
The Wizards players kicked MJ off the team and out the league
@@righteousmasculine, that ain't true. Scottie only guarded him for about half of game 2 because MJ was in foul trouble. Jordan guarded him the majority of the time
You are only as good as your team. And that's one to grow on.
The issue I have with this is that Pippens rookie year, he averaged 7.9 ppg, playing 20.9 MPG.
Pippens 2nd year, he only averaged 14 ppg, playing 33.1 MPG.
So to say that Pippen was some big star, or had much of any impact on the team winning those first 2-3 years right of the bat, is crazy, especially when he wasn’t playing any better than the guy he replaced, till his 3rd year.
Don't let the PPG fool you. What Scottie did on the defensive end is what excelled the Bulls he also did all the dirty work on both ends of the floor and was an underrated facilator. His PPg his first two seasons may appear underwhelming but make no mistake every season he got better it made the Bulls a Hella of a better team and a contender. MJ didn't get past the 1st round till Scottie Pippen came along.
@@davidcici11Evolution The issue is that he scored less than the guy he replaced for two seasons. Any defensive improvement was washed by that.
Anyone who watched the Bulls then knows that Pippen was bad his first year, better but still just only ok his second year, much improved and a star his 3rd year, and a superstar his 4th year.
To say that a guy who averaged 7.9/3/2 and 14/6/3 his second year was some massive star who was the reason they advanced further is just ridiculous.
@@JohnDoe-zr8pc yet MJ was 1-9 without Pippen. Regardless of how pedestrian his numbers were his first 2 seasons Jordan definitely depended on him for longer playoff success. Scoring doesn't tell the whole picture. Derek fisher was crucial to the Lakers playoff success. He didn't score much but the Lakers didn't win without him. There is a whole documentary talking about Derek Fisher turned the ship around for that 2nd Lakers championship team. Pippen was better than the player he replaced.

You’re too focused on a stat line my man; Draymond consistently puts up low number stats but the warriors can’t win without him.

Let’s stop the BS right now, everyone saying Jordan wasn’t winning before Scottie Pippen got there , you are right, but you know why you are right? Bcus Michael Jordan didn’t have great team mates, the second highest scoring player on the Bulls was Charles Oakley. And he averaged 12 points a game. How the hell you gone win when you’re second best player is averaging 12 points? And Don’t get it twisted when Scottie got to the Bulls he was garbage. Michael trained him to be who he became.and let’s not forget Phil Jackson had the biggest impact to Jordan’s career, with the triangle offense.
And people forget MJ’s obsession with winning inspired the Mamba mentality. Scottie learned how obsessed MJ was with defeating his opponents from being his teammate. Scottie is deserving of all his praise but people act like Scottie was the master teacher that came to Chicago and schooled MJ on how to elevate his game lol they helped each other but Jordan’s obsession was second to none. His “competitive drive” as he likes to call it
Mf facts!
The facts are MJ couldn’t win til Scottie, and Phil got there. MJ never made it to one Conference or NBA finals before he got help. It’s very safe to say Pippen was the Bulls MVP. MJ wasn’t concerned with helping making his teammates better, and that pissed Phil off. So implementing Scottie as the point-forward was genius for Phil to do. MJ still shot a lot but within the flow of the offense. MJ mastered his post up game, and did a great job adjusting his game, but, MJ would’ve been another Bernard King without Pippen.
@@1dawg243 That sounds ridiculous, Scottie Pippen was complaining about headaches when him and Jordan were playing the Pistons. Michael Jordan was going to be great period . And no he wouldn’t have been another Bernard King. You are aware that Michael Jordan was the first player to win MVP and defensive player of the year in the same year. Also he was on the first defensive teams 9 times in his career. Scottie was a great add on to the Bulls, but he couldn’t lead no team.those 90s Bulls had a great roster and a great coach, but don’t get it confused they don’t win 6 tities without Michael’s skill set, his determination to win and his competitiveness . Scottie Pippen was Robin, and that’s ok.
But the same arguments used FOR Jordan have to be used against him … Those Jordan didn’t win … don’t matter … because they don’t matter for anyone else … Jordan NEEDED Pippen and there proof just look

I will always be Scottie pippen fan he was my favorite player growing up no matter what Magic/Kareem- Kobe/Shaq Kobe/Gasol Curry/Thompson/Green everyone needed the 2nd guy or had them on multi champ team. only ones that beat everyone are the Celtics of Russell,Halvlicek,Cousey,Heinsohn,Sam Jones
Scottie was a gift!
Jordan was already a superstar before Pippen showed up. However Jordan needed Pippen and Jackson to start winning championship. He also needed Grant and Rodman. Jordans wasn’t really like someone like Bird, Magic or Kareem who would give a team an extra 20 wins a game the first day the stepped on the floor and take a team deep into the playoffs. However once the needed additions showed up with Pippen, Grant (and later Rodman) and Jackson, his team was a dynasty beyond Magic and Bird.
I know this was a month ago and I see where you’re coming from but I have a tough time buying into this due to the fact magic walked into a Ferrari of a team as well as bird. While Jordan walked into a hooptie and leveled it up to Rolls Royce
I think if you switch Jordan with either of them he’d have the same impact if not greater
I think you’re wrong. I think if Jordan takes Magics spot be plays second fiddle to Kareem for a few years. You have to remember Scottie was to the Bulls what Magic was to the Lakers which was a facilitater. Micheal was an offensive juggernaut now if he had taken Birds place then yes he would have had a greater impact. The problem most uneducated basketball people think is Scottie can just be replaced with someone like Barkley or Clyde and it’s not true. You can replace Micheal with a guy like Grant Hill possibly or a Magic but you can’t just throw a scorer in there and assume they gel. Scottie did way more on the basketball court than people want to admit.

Jordan could've probably won eventually but when you have a 2nd option that draws attention it makes it a lot easier. It's that simple. Pippen made Jordan's road to success a lot easier.

Jordan and Pippen are the best 1-2 combo in NBA history and possibly even in all of sports history. Pippen was the perfect teammate for Jordan. He played excellent defense and could get rebounds , assists and score. They needed each other. No 1 or 2 or 3 players can win titles in the nba. You need a great team with good players. The Bulls won 55 games without MJ. What if they would of brought in an all star caliber player to replace MJ with? They would of been title contenders cause they had a great team and a great coach as well as a great GM.
lol its shaq and kobe not even close, they were both in the mvp race😂
Pippen Was Avg 7ppg when he joined the bulls was coming off the bench and played very few minutes
So basically yes
With DENNIS..THEY WERE THE BEST THREE EVER!!!..
AND HERE WE GO....LOL 🤦♂️
MJ and SP we're the leader, but they had so many top tier players.
Total Stat Points (Career Avg PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK - TOV)
Jordan: 30.1 PPG / 6.2 RPG / 5.3 APG / 2.3 SPG / 0.83 BPG / 2.7 = 42.0
Pippen: 16.1 PPG / 6.4 RPG / 5.2 APG / 2.0 SPG / 0.80 BPG / 2.8 = 27.7

On the defensive end you want Jordan chasing opponents best players pip had dual roles and excelled in both
So nobody heard Vlad say “He brought the breast out of Jordan“ 😂
Dennis never said Scottie was a better player than MJ. I mean Scottie played a good role in MJ success but MJ is MJ man. If he is on yo team for sure winning is not that hard.
Vlad rodman didn’t say the same thing scottie said. He said Jordan was averaging 40 b4 scottie. Scottie was a piece added to the puzzle that helped mike because he couldn't do it himself.
The irony was Rodman saying everyone wants to shit on others to get attention….then inadvertently shits on today’s era when he goes “If Scotty was playing today he’d average a triple double”
“Thank God Jordan got Scottie Pippen” nah, thank God Jordan got Rodman.
Don’t let Skipocrite Payless her this !😂😂
MJ gonna probably and surely will take this personally. 😁
Rodman just did the blackest black man response ever. He responded like a true Black Man. No bih.
Scottie Pippen wasn't only a great player but was underpaid which allowed the bulls to pay other players. Pippens contract allowed them to be great
I'm confused 🤔..... I don't think Dennis understood what happened.... 😂
Air Jordan and Scottie Pippen is the Most successful duo in NBA history. (y)
