That was an unbelievable shot Tony made. Because of the shot and the win many forgot about Pipens tantrum. He was a winning baby. Yes he was a great player but how much better could he have been with out his baggage !!
Can we also please talk about how amazing pippen was this year, and how Jordan never won a playoff series without Pippen. Losing Jordan, and then replacing him with nobody, and the Bulls barely dropped off. What would have happened if it was just Pippen who left and was replaced with nobody, how far woulf Bulls have gone with Jordan? To me, it goes to show how a dynamic player like Pippem can make everyone better, and the different types of skills that have an impact in basketball.
You do realize Pippen was a scrub his first two seasons, right? Y'all love to say "1-9" but in the game that got Jordan to 2-9, Pippen scored precisely _ZERO_ points. In fact, Grant and Armstrong averaged more PPG in this postseason than Pippen and Grant averaged in the '89 postseason, yet the Bulls advanced one round further.
I love the comment. I really liked those Nets jerseys. In truth, when I was looking at cards to pick out of Scottie Pippen, I liked this one the best because of Pippen dribbling assuming he's leading the fast break, but also because of Armen Gilliam in that Nets jersey. Thanks for liking the card. I'm glad you noticed. I actually did put thought into using that card and part of it was because of that Nets jersey. Thanks again.
And lets talk about how if Jordan is so competitive and all that, why is he not thst good at golf. Hes never even come close to winning that golf tournament in lake tahoe.
Yes. Yes. Yes Ok, here is the issue, or at least one of many present in all this. Everyobe talks about how to be the man, be clutch, a winner, you have to demand the ball in crunch time. This is exactky what Pippen did - a demand for the ball implies consequences for not giving the ball, and thats what he did. And he gets blasted for it. And then you get into all the stuff about Pippen being underpaid and the Kukoc stuff. Pippen really deserved and earned the right to take the shot, had to deal with a bunch of crap to get into this position. I think Phil the Zen Master should have understood this. You let Pippen take and probably miss the shot, then let him play his ass off the rest of series to make up for that miss. Or work on his game all offseason and next season to win the next year. Also, i think Pippen just made the wrong choice in carrying this out. I think he could have gone out there and just make everyone run a different play for him. I believe LeBron actually did something like this, made the shot, abd was celebrated. But its true that Pippen was a small forward and its just not his game to make last second shots, kind of like how Shaq wasnt the guy to make a gane winner. Also, a testament to how great Pippen is - even making a bad choice, it worked out. I think the team should have covered for Pippen and kept it internal. It seems like they let too much out on how they felt about Pippen doing this in the moment. Just say hes still their dawg, they gonna roll together. I have more to say on all this

That shot was incredible to see. One of the most memorable NBA game winners for me. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

Unfortunately this improbable ending with him pouting on the bench was the defining moment of Scottie Pippin’s Hall of Fame career
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
This is off topic, but that early 90s Nets jersey in the background of that Pippen card in the beginning has such a great logo and color scheme

And kukoc messed up the prior possession.
And we should all recognize it was totally messed up for this to have been a part of the last dance.
He already has his chance and he blew it. Also, Kukoc had several game winners for the Bulls that season.
