Scottie is soo under-rated. He wasn't just MJ's sidekick who could play defense, Scottie was the whole package he could play against any position on defense, he had Carmelo Anthony like offensive game meaning he could score by shooting, driving, and posting, he was a terrific rebounder, great in transition especially with passes. He was the NBA equivilant of a 5 tool player
He can defend rebound shoot block dunk pass he can run your ball up the court he can pass he doesnt get tired. He is a complete package. Most underrated player ever.
Karl Malone:" If i had to start my team with one player it would be Scottie Pippen"..not micheal. From a breaded basketball player's perspective in myself. Its wrong that people only talk about how great of a defender he was. All Scottie Pippen did offensively as super star was adapt to the roster. Micheal took a lot of shots, and in a league that played far more system basketball back then. Scottie sacrificed his shot attempts for the better of the team/to keep others in rhythm. This wasn't about Pippen not being a natural born killer offensively. It's usually the more well rounded gaurd that has to take the so called back seat, because he can do other things. John sally: "Scottie Pippen was the most skilled player I've ever played with ". Steve kerr: Scottie could score only 4 points..and still dominate the game. I'd take pippen over jordan myself, ask me why..instead of just calling me crazy. I speak of things most ppl don't talk about.
Scottie Pippen would dominate todays league and probably be Lebrons worst nightmare. They just dont make players like Pip these days. A true warrior of his era. Pippen defined what "all around" is all about. There was not a catergory in the game of basketball that he didnt excel at. And he may be the greatest wing defender in history and he knew how to navigate his freakish wingspan like a hawk searching for prey. No disrespect to Lebron, but if 1991-92-93-94-95-96-97 primed Pippen was in the league today, Lebron would be ringless. Great floor vision like a point guard while owning the wing at the same time. He was an expert at BOTH sides of the floor. And he could score in everyway when needed. He very well could of averaged 28 to 30 points per game had he not been unselfish, as he got his teammates more involved which is key to success. Great leader and favorite to his teammates.
People laugh at me and ridicule me, but if I'm selecting my best starting 5 all time in their prime, the small forward spot belongs to Pippen every time. And Lebron isn't even in my top 5 small forwards. I'm taking (in no particular order) Kawhi, Bird, Dominique, Durant, before I pick Lebron.
Hard to keep him off my ALL-TIME list. Played elite level defense and one of the greatest athletes in a league full of great athletes... Miss you PIP!!
Even tho listed as a SF, I would have him play PF a lot due to him being 6"8' and the lockdown defense to easily guard good and big PFs, but for arguements sake, let's look at other SF's. I love Scotties game, but that statement was just stupid. Because people like LeBron, KD, Elgin Baylor, Larry Bird or even somebody like Kawhi Leonard are living on this planet, there's no way you should say that "he is the best by far".
Scotties glass skill was amazing. some of the angles and banks I witnessed him sink were unbelievable. he new every inch of that glass. And his reach, his fast break finger rolls seemed to start at the free throw line some times
The most under rated and under appreciated player of all time. Thanks to this channel, those who know and appreciate great all around unselfish basketball will never forget 33.
Pippen was truly a beast. To be able to do the things he did under MJ and still create separation and step on his own light... unbelievable. As much as I love watching the Bulls during the golden era, I frequently ask myself, what personal accomplishments would have Scottie conquered had Seattle kept him.
We will never know, but in some biography books about MJ, Jordan was so hard on Pippen during his early days. Him and Jackson so much talent on him, and Jackson actually made Pippen battle Jordan everyday in practice. Scottie plays with the main team while Jordan plays on the other. When one team wins, they run around the gym. It came to a point that Pippen's team started to win and there you have a developing Pippen. To battle against Jordan everyday honed his skills like crazy. Pippen and MJ were just the best under the triangle by Tex Winter.
Would rather watch TH-cam Videos of Scottie Pippen anyday then today's basketball. The man was incredible defensively. A true artist for his profession. He brought it every night on both sides of the court. He would get into there best offensive players head as well. He owned them nightly defensively. A true legend in our life time= Scottie Pippen. Thank you for the post.
Ive been watching some 92 dream team games. Pippen alongside Barkley stole the show. Mr. Larry Bird also played more time than i remembered and man, the level he had was out of this world.
Paul Sokoloff And he dunked a facial on Alonzo Mourning... . I remember in 1994 in a game on the road against the Clippers, Scottie dunked on 3 defenders at the same time, (Ron Harper was standing right in the middle of lane). The look on his face was priceless.
@@surveying482 did he win anything no when pippen came they played great and won a lot of games even before pippen they had Jordan they didn't even have a good record
What I've always admired about Scottie (besides many other talents of his) were his hands. He's been blessed with really big hands, maybe almost as big as the ones of C-Webb, but at the same time Pip has found his way to maintain their quickness, and that multiplied by his ability to equally use either made his game a real beauty to watch in terms of handling, passing, rebounding, blocking, shooting those Js or finishing at the rim.
"Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team" Scottie always wanted the main role.But he still knew how important he was with MJ.Thats why 93-94 will always be my favorite Bulls team cause he proved it.All he needed was a DECENT SG.And I KNOW he would of won a ring.
Scottie Pippen did everything on the court. He scores, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. The guy was just everywhere on the basketball court. He was one of the most complete players during that time. He is like the Matrix.
Of course most people were Jordan fans. I like Mike but I love Scottie.... In my opinion Scottie Pippen is the G.O.A.T..... He could do it all..... People need to keep in mind M.J. didn't win a championship without Scottie....... Then again Scottie didn't win a championship without Michael.
But think about that B's call that ref made against New York that phantom foul he would have took the bull to the championship without Michael then a ref come back next year said that was a bad call lol
power and grace is the perfect title for a scottie pippen video, he was so smooth, intelligent and tough at the same time. i still remember watching him play, glorious times...
It's ashamed that everyone will always remember Jordan, but Scottie Pippen was the reason for Jordan's success, and Scottie Pippen is one of the all time greats
Jay Thompson how many times did Jordan make it to the nba finals before pippen? When pippen became an all star caliber player the bulls started to win. You’re the clown
@Jay Thompson yeah actually Pippen made it to the 2000 conference finals with two all-star caliber players in his squad : Rasheed Wallace and Scottie himself. (Pippen not attending the 2000 All-Star Game is ridiculous just like him being the 6th highest paid player in Bulls roster, so to me, he was on All-Star Level)
With all the debating and arguing over the past decade about Lebron vs Jordan, most of these people forget that if the Jordan/Pippen Bulls actually played the Lebron Cavs or Heat, Lebron would be matched up against Pippen, not Jordan. And, I think that Pippen would have the edge. He would shut James down on D and make him work his ass off on the other end. In a 7-game series, James would be cramping by the 2nd half of game 2. To make things worse, the Bulls would also switch Rodman on James every now and then which would all but make him a non-factor in this hypothetical series. I don't care if Wade is 110% or if Bosh is playing to his potential and Ray Allen is shooting 100% from 3, the 96-98 Bulls win 9 out of 10 series against the 10-13 Heat. Against this year's Cavs and any of James' other years with CLE, that number becomes 10 out of 10.
Your right man....100%. The only current player who would have a chance in the 80's and early to mid 90's and still be an elite player is a prime Kobe Bryant, talking about the 2 guards and SF positions skill sets. Lebrick would struggle.
Jay Man I think James could do better on that, Pippen match with James, both of them will make trouble for each other, and both of them could not totally shut down the other one. But I agree, Bulls got Rodman, and Jordan to backup. I think even Wade got 120%, the bulls will find a way to end the game. I am a big fun of Scottie, but I think James is also powerful.
One of my Favourite Players. The Best Allraound Player Ever i have Seen. He is a Legend ! With Jordan together unstoppable.......the Best dynamic duo ever !
The one play I wish I could see again was when Pippen took three steps in the air. I saw him do the dunk from the free throw line but I saw him do a layup where he litterally walked on air. To this day I know he is a remarkable athlete and great player. He was just so humble.
Scottie Pippin 1 of my childhood heroes growing up as well as Michael Jordan I was finally honored to meet him last night at my daughter's basketball game as he was there to watch his son Scottie Pippen jr. Play on the boys basketball team and let me start by saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and he also wears number 33.
Those 90's Bulls had 3 players in my all time starting 5... Stockton Jordan Pippen Rodman The Dream You couldn't assemble a team to beat them. Mix of selflessness, athleticism, effort, killer instinct and defense.
spencer bancroft Maybe. I am back and forth with Magic and Stockton, Jordan we agree on. Bird was awesome and I have no argument there hdonestly because if Pip weren't my favorite player he'd be on my list too (though I think Pip is criminally underrated and could have done a good job guarding him). Duncan is a newcomer to these lists and I understand why but every winning team needs a player like Rodman, he was a force on defense and rebounding so he is on my list by effort alone. I go back and forth on Kareem / The Dream / Russell so I can't argue that. I think they biggest difference between your list and my list is that mine may be slightly better defensively but yours is a very good list.
spencer bancroft I've always said the same 4 except to replace Bird with Pippen as the 5th. Your list makes sense for the sake of individuals, but the game is based on chemistry and Bird/Jordan would be a conflict on the same team, whereas Duncan, Jabbar, Magic and Pippen could all play their superstar roles while Jordan does his thing..., Bird is one of the all-time crunch time specialists, but so is Jordan, so who is the go-to guy? You cant have both, so what you gain by having both is lost in some ways... the addition of Pippen as the all-time greatest all-around defender is what helped win 6 titles - with two completely different rosters in two trimesters! No DPOY because that award is given to players polarized to their positions, whereas Pippen could defend anyone anytime and was the best team defender ever and fast break defender ever also. Defense is half the game, but people put too much attention toward offense.
good point, but dont forget the game againts utah, pippen was injured. and jordan could survive. pippen is the best side kick for jordan, but jordan still the hero.
The same amount that Lebron has without Wade and Bosh. Just playing. If Pippen was never his teammate I assume that he wouldn't have retired to play baseball and he would have had a much more difficult time of winning championships. I'll say about 4 rings. Pippen was the first person that Jordan thanked in his HOF speech and from what I could see those two aren't even that close off the court.
He’s my goat. I started watching the Bulls because of MJ. But when Scottie got his game I started watching because of him. Even when he went to Houston and Portland which I know he was beyond everyone in skill, play and talent. Their he had Smith as his play partner and Damon was trying to be his Robin, and where Scottie made Shremp his Steve Kerr.
Scottie Pippen gave birth to the pointforward position. He and Micheal Jordan got me through some difficult times in my life. Thanks Chicago bulls, 91-93 and 96-98.
8 ปีที่แล้ว +3
this guy it's great, many people put him in a second place cos' of jordan, but Jordan career wouldn't be anything without Pippen, and he was too inteligent too.
Nigga if you don't think Pippen's second place to Jordan then you're delusional. Jordan's career without Pippen stepping up would still be HoF. Even before Pippen became an All-Star in 90-91, MJ already had an MVP, 5 All-Star selections, 5 All-NBA selections, 3 All-Defense selections, a DPoY, and 4 scoring titles. He could have never won a ring and gotten into the HoF off that. And if you think Pippen could have won a ring without Jordan, then you only have to look at Jordan's retirement season to see how that worked out. They went out in the 2nd round lol.
lynchie137 It's a shame that after his first 11 seasons with the Chicago Bulls from 1987-88 to 1997-98, where he won six NBA Championships with them in '90-'91, '91-'92, '92-'93, '95-'96, '96-'97 and '97-'98 to be a part of Chicago's 1990s Championship Dynasty,... ,...Pippen was shipped to the Houston Rockets in a sign-and-trade for '98-'99, where he played alongside Rockets' franchise cornerstone C Hakeem Olajuwon and the ever-so-talkative All-Star PF Charles Barkley. During his one and only season with the Rockets, Pippen averaged 14.5 points per game, 6.5 rebounds per game, 5.9 assists per game, 2.0 steals per game, and 0.7 blocks per game while averaging 40 minutes per game in all 50 games played. You can really say that his across-the-board stats were still good, but somewhat the scoring is down from his Chicago Bulls glory days. However, Pippen should not have played that many minutes because he just came off his second back surgery after the 1998 NBA Finals (Chicago vs. Utah) ended in a Chicago Bulls series victory over the Utah Jazz, but that was because Houston had no depth at SF with only journeyman 3PT shooter SF Sam Mack and an aging former NBA Sixth Man of the Year and near 40-year-old washed-up scoring machine swingman (SG/SF) Eddie Johnson. They should've utilized either Sam Mack and/or Eddie Johnson more to allow Pippen to rest his bad back, but Rudy Tomjanovich overplayed him at 40 minutes per game. So what was the point of playing Pippen 40 minutes per game when he just had a second back surgery and was utilized as the third option on offense behind Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley? And Pippen seemed to be a more natural fit for Phil Jackson's Triangle Offense rather than being a weak fit for Rudy Tomjanovich's Half-Court Offense imo. Only because the head coach of the '98-'99 Houston Rockets (Rudy Tomjanovich) didn't even bother to change up his system (half-court offense) to accomodate Scottie Pippen's true skills (which was as a point forward/leader/lockdown defender) rather than utilizing him as a catch-and-shoot gunner while Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon remained Houston's go-to-guys on offense/scoring. Many media pundits expected Pippen to be the #1 superstar for Houston and Portland just because he was finally outside of Michael Jordan's shadow again, which seemed to be his constant stigma. But his somewhat lack of usage on Rudy Tomjanovich's half-court offense for scoring really indicated that Pippen was unhappy having to be the third wheel to Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley, especially after having played the role of Michael Jordan's sidekick throughout the glory days of the Chicago Bulls.
lynchie137 Pippen's lowest point in Houston was with his feuding with Charles Barkley over Barkley's lack of desire to win an NBA Championship. Barkley did come close to winning the '92-'93 NBA Championship with the Phoenix Suns though, but still, Pippen accused him of not giving any effort to play on defense, and never watched his weight with his unhealthy food choices overstating his gifted monster basketball talents. Barkley's desire to win can actually be misunderstood. When he was with the Philadelphia 76ers from '84-'85 to '91-'92, Barkley blasted Harold Katz (the 76ers' owner at the time of Barkley's 76ers career) for not giving him a great support cast that could go deep into the NBA Playoffs, and so Sir Charles did all he can to get himself traded knowing that Katz brought in players that just couldn't play. Ultimately, Barkley went to Phoenix via trade in the 1992 offseason, and it was in '92-'93 that Barkley won his one and only NBA Regular Season MVP Award. Back on point about Barkley: guys like greatest 90s role player Mario Elie and former Trail Blazers and Rockets' megastar Clyde Drexler got fed up with Barkley's clowning around antics, now there are some serious pros who don't want to be around Barkley too much because of his OTT nature. And Clyde Drexler was supposed to stay on with the Houston Rockets in '98-'99 instead of retiring after '97-'98. But I think Drexler did retire because of Barkley anyway, and because Drexler's playing style had always been of the athletic dunker type, and with him aging (35-36) he probably retired because we wouldn't see him changing his game from athletic dunker to jump shooter because of age and injuries, although Drexler was still an effective solid starter.
Filipo Sooa Sounds like Sir Charles rubbed a few people the wrong way while in Houston. Perhaps if he were more serious he wouldn't have pissed off his teammates so much and therefore, they would have worked better on the court and generated better results. But on the other hand, all the players you mentioned were getting up there, so who knows how much they really had left in the tank to give?
lynchie137 Even though Pippen averaged 14.5 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 5.9 APG, 2.0 SPG and 0.7 BPG in 40 MPG, that ridiculous minutes average that he had with Houston seemed exactly insane because: A) Pippen already came off his second back surgery after the 1998 NBA Finals ended. B) Because he was with Chicago from '87-'88 (rookie season) to '97-'98, having so many virtually deep playoff runs probably caused Pippen's eventual statistical decline 97/98. C) The '98-'99 Rockets had no real depth at SF outside of Scottie Pippen seeing as they only had Sam Mack and Eddie Johnson. If anything, it serves me correctly that Rudy Tomjanovich shouldn't have overclocked Pippen for all 50 of the games he started during the shortened season. Do you really think Rudy Tomjanovich should've utilized Scottie Pippen on offense instead of leaving him to watch Hakeem Olajuwon (now an aging predictable jump-shooting solid starting Center) and Charles Barkley be the top two guys on Houston's pecking order? If anything, should journeyman 3PT shooting swingman (SG/SF) Sam Mack or aging former Sixth Man of the Year winner and veteran SG/SF Eddie Johnson have been utilized more at moments when Pippen's on the bench? Have a look at the averages for each player and see who should've substituted in for Scottie Pippen at times: A) Sam Mack: 9.2 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 1.3 APG, 0.6 SPG, 0.1 BPG while averaging 20 minutes per game in 0 of 25 games started after being re-acquired by the Vancouver Grizzlies via midseason trade. B) Eddie Johnson: 4.0 PPG, 0.7 RPG, 0.3 APG, 0.0 SPG, 0.0 BPG while averaging a feeble 6 minutes per game. Should Eddie Johnson have played more as the backup SF to Scottie Pippen, or do you think Sam Mack was the better man to be the main backup behind Pippen?
Filipo Sooa But look what Portland did to LA in 2001? if only they didn't miss 13 shots in a row and if they could control Rasheed to stop jacking up misses - he missed 6 of the teams 13 consecutive missed shots after getting a 15 point lead in game 7 against the stacked Lakers... And there were no superstars on Portland and they were on their way to the finals but choked... that's twice Pippen was on a starless team and just missed the final (94 verse Knicks because of referee bad call on Pippen at endgame)... point being is that Pippen was a strong anchor to Portland and the chemistry was great around Stoudamire (mighty mouse)
The basketball world has always been all about Jordan, and growing up idolizing Jordan, so was I. But we need more tributes to Pippen like this one. Thumbs way up.
Mike even said you were the best player on the team....I wont go that far but I'm 46. I saw EVERYTHING. You are my fav of all time, from both ends of the floor. Nobody could fucc with Scottie.
Un immense joueur tellement sous côté!!!!! le joueur le plus complet jamais vu sur un parquet nba d' une élégance incroyable ne forcant jamais rien et jouant pour l' equipe avant tout !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Scottie Pippen was so raw, I wish somebody now could play with that much intensity on defense and be a true lock-down defender. He is one of the most underrated NBA players of all-time. In my opinion, he is definitely a top 10 or 15 player of all-time, personally, I rank him at 7 or 8. Cause, if you think of as a pick-up game you are definitely going to want Scottie Pippen on your team and would be about the third or fourth guard/wing-man chosen
If only I had known what I had as a kid... Growing up with these guys, watching the Dream Team at the age of 10... I can't even watch the bore-BA these days.
it's impressive how even with such a legendary players a MJ was scottie pippen never got forgotten or underated. Everyone knew he was a very talented player and a legend really.
Wow, what a great job making this Pippen video. It stays true to him, and what he was all about: Best Scottie Pippen videos out there, is without a doubt on this channel. Keep them coming :)
Love me some Scottie pippen! It was truly a pleasure watching this Bulls growing up! 33 is the greatest small forward ever! Although Kevin durant reminds me a lot of pip.
I grew up watching the last 3 Bulls championship teams. Me and my memaw, god bless her. We used to watch Bulls games at nighttime on WGN America here in Columbus, Ohio. My memaw passed in 2000, but I've been a Bulls fan ever since. And even though MJ was the star player and rightly so, Scottie Pippen was always my favorite player. Him and Dennis Rodman. I'll ALWAYS be a Chicago Bulls fan!! Like this If you'll always be a Bulls fan, too.
I grew up in Chicago too and my favorite Bulls team in the 90s to watch was the 93-94 squad led by Pippen. That was a contending team that could have won the championship if not for that bogus Hue Hollins call in Game 5 during the Knicks series. It was just a pleasure to watch those guys play and move the ball around like a team should. It was good basketball. Never got that feeling again after Jordan came back. Yes we won three more times, but we all knew acquiring Rodman was the main factor.
"In all the highlights, you never just saw me, you saw Scottie Pippen!" MJ first words in his Hall of Fame speech!😉
Scottie is soo under-rated. He wasn't just MJ's sidekick who could play defense, Scottie was the whole package he could play against any position on defense, he had Carmelo Anthony like offensive game meaning he could score by shooting, driving, and posting, he was a terrific rebounder, great in transition especially with passes.

Scottie Pippen would dominate todays league and probably be Lebrons worst nightmare.
They just dont make players like Pip these days.
A true warrior of his era.
Pippen defined what "all around" is all about.
There was not a catergory in the game of basketball that he didnt excel at.
And he may be the greatest wing defender in history and he knew how to navigate his freakish wingspan like a hawk searching for prey.
No disrespect to Lebron, but if 1991-92-93-94-95-96-97 primed Pippen was in the league today, Lebron would be ringless.
Great floor vision like a point guard while owning the wing at the same time.
He was an expert at BOTH sides of the floor.
And he could score in everyway when needed.
He very well could of averaged 28 to 30 points per game had he not been unselfish, as he got his teammates more involved which is key to success. Great leader and favorite to his teammates.
Perfectly put
Well here comes Pascal Siakam.. He's going to be Cameroonian Scottie Pippen in the future

he would dominate the whole toronto raptors
People laugh at me and ridicule me, but if I'm selecting my best starting 5 all time in their prime, the small forward spot belongs to Pippen every time. And Lebron isn't even in my top 5 small forwards. I'm taking (in no particular order) Kawhi, Bird, Dominique, Durant, before I pick Lebron.

Scottie Pippen is by far the best small foward to ever play. Hands down end of story.
Even tho listed as a SF, I would have him play PF a lot due to him being 6"8' and the lockdown defense to easily guard good and big PFs, but for arguements sake, let's look at other SF's. I love Scotties game, but that statement was just stupid. Because people like LeBron, KD, Elgin Baylor, Larry Bird or even somebody like Kawhi Leonard are living on this planet, there's no way you should say that "he is the best by far".

He is the reason that I love ball, for all love that he deserves and doesn't get Its always nice to see that there are others who love him too.

Pipen!!! one of the greatest of all times, underestimated for sure!!!
Un gran e increíble jugador muy completo y competitivo,uno de los grandes de la NBA sin duda!!
I could watch these vids all day, gotta ne the most complete player of all time.
pippen is a monster!!!
this video gave me goosebumps
To see Pippen play, makes me stay totally astonished. The best all-arounder of all time, in my opinion.
Love it. I miss the 90's. Pippen and the Bulls. Just magic.
most underrated player of the game
of any game in my thoughts
Favorite player #33
Pippen was one of best all around player i ever seen i my life!!!
What I've always admired about Scottie (besides many other talents of his) were his hands. He's been blessed with really big hands, maybe almost as big as the ones of C-Webb, but at the same time Pip has found his way to maintain their quickness, and that multiplied by his ability to equally use either made his game a real beauty to watch in terms of handling, passing, rebounding, blocking, shooting those Js or finishing at the rim.
My favorite player of all time...a true legend...33 and 23 the best duo ever
"Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team" Scottie always wanted the main role.But he still knew how important he was with MJ.Thats why 93-94 will always be my favorite Bulls team cause he proved it.All he needed was a DECENT SG.And I KNOW he would of won a ring.
Yeah.mj and pipp should play 94.95.99.00 to complete 10 rings easily
one of the greatest play of all times
Still my all time favorite NBA player.
I am officially inspired
The best.
I love how Pip, just looks like its another day in the office after every dunk, layup, J, or three pointer that he puts up. BEAST
Scottie Pippen did everything on the court. He scores, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. The guy was just everywhere on the basketball court. He was one of the most complete players during that time. He is like the Matrix.
Of course most people were Jordan fans. I like Mike but I love Scottie.... In my opinion Scottie Pippen is the G.O.A.T..... He could do it all..... People need to keep in mind M.J. didn't win a championship without Scottie....... Then again Scottie didn't win a championship without Michael.
Jimmy Erwin L
But think about that B's call that ref made against New York that phantom foul he would have took the bull to the championship without Michael then a ref come back next year said that was a bad call lol
that man was an ice cold assasin on the court...grace, power, vision, and intelligence...mj was blessed to have him as his wingman...
power and grace is the perfect title for a scottie pippen video, he was so smooth, intelligent and tough at the same time. i still remember watching him play, glorious times...
He is underrated among fans and also underrated by media today. No one talks about him or credits him when talking about the bulls.
It's ashamed that everyone will always remember Jordan, but Scottie Pippen was the reason for Jordan's success, and Scottie Pippen is one of the all time greats
Jay Thompson how many times did Jordan make it to the nba finals before pippen? When pippen became an all star caliber player the bulls started to win. You’re the clown
@Jay Thompson yeah actually Pippen made it to the 2000 conference finals with two all-star caliber players in his squad : Rasheed Wallace and Scottie himself. (Pippen not attending the 2000 All-Star Game is ridiculous just like him being the 6th highest paid player in Bulls roster, so to me, he was on All-Star Level)
With all the debating and arguing over the past decade about Lebron vs Jordan, most of these people forget that if the Jordan/Pippen Bulls actually played the Lebron Cavs or Heat, Lebron would be matched up against Pippen, not Jordan. And, I think that Pippen would have the edge. He would shut James down on D and make him work his ass off on the other end. In a 7-game series, James would be cramping by the 2nd half of game 2. To make things worse, the Bulls would also switch Rodman on James every now and then which would all but make him a non-factor in this hypothetical series. I don't care if Wade is 110% or if Bosh is playing to his potential and Ray Allen is shooting 100% from 3, the 96-98 Bulls win 9 out of 10 series against the 10-13 Heat. Against this year's Cavs and any of James' other years with CLE, that number becomes 10 out of 10.
Your right man....100%. The only current player who would have a chance in the 80's and early to mid 90's and still be an elite player is a prime Kobe Bryant, talking about the 2 guards and SF positions skill sets. Lebrick would struggle.
Jay Man I think James could do better on that, Pippen match with James, both of them will make trouble for each other, and both of them could not totally shut down the other one. But I agree, Bulls got Rodman, and Jordan to backup. I think even Wade got 120%, the bulls will find a way to end the game.
I am a big fun of Scottie, but I think James is also powerful.
Jay Man Pippen? EASY!! LeBron would flop all over the place and get Rodman and Pippen in big trouble.
Jay Man i dont care about lebron james but a dwade vs mj duel would be so fucking awesome to watch !
mj is the greatest but it wouldnt be easy against dwade
One of my Favourite Players. The Best Allraound Player Ever i have Seen. He is a Legend !
With Jordan together unstoppable.......the Best dynamic duo ever !
This an amazing compilation. Thanks for putting it up.
If you don't get chills at the 2:55 mark, then you have no business watching basketball
I think this is the all time greatest dunk in nba history .. I have NEVER seen such a dunk EVER!
@@rockey1292003 Indeed! Pippen was the most fearless player on the drive.
90's hip hop n pip n jordan will b missed
The one play I wish I could see again was when Pippen took three steps in the air. I saw him do the dunk from the free throw line but I saw him do a layup where he litterally walked on air. To this day I know he is a remarkable athlete and great player. He was just so humble.
Scottie Pippin 1 of my childhood heroes growing up as well as Michael Jordan I was finally honored to meet him last night at my daughter's basketball game as he was there to watch his son Scottie Pippen jr. Play on the boys basketball team and let me start by saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and he also wears number 33.
Best footwork of anyone I've seen in the league - EVER
Hakeem Olajuwon. enough said.
Those 90's Bulls had 3 players in my all time starting 5...
Stockton
Jordan
Pippen
Rodman
The Dream
You couldn't assemble a team to beat them. Mix of selflessness, athleticism, effort, killer instinct and defense.
Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
Kareem
Better starting 5
spencer bancroft Maybe. I am back and forth with Magic and Stockton, Jordan we agree on. Bird was awesome and I have no argument there hdonestly because if Pip weren't my favorite player he'd be on my list too (though I think Pip is criminally underrated and could have done a good job guarding him). Duncan is a newcomer to these lists and I understand why but every winning team needs a player like Rodman, he was a force on defense and rebounding so he is on my list by effort alone. I go back and forth on Kareem / The Dream / Russell so I can't argue that.
I think they biggest difference between your list and my list is that mine may be slightly better defensively but yours is a very good list.
Id like to see these teams play each other
You and me both man.
spencer bancroft I've always said the same 4 except to replace Bird with Pippen as the 5th. Your list makes sense for the sake of individuals, but the game is based on chemistry and Bird/Jordan would be a conflict on the same team, whereas Duncan, Jabbar, Magic and Pippen could all play their superstar roles while Jordan does his thing..., Bird is one of the all-time crunch time specialists, but so is Jordan, so who is the go-to guy? You cant have both, so what you gain by having both is lost in some ways... the addition of Pippen as the all-time greatest all-around defender is what helped win 6 titles - with two completely different rosters in two trimesters! No DPOY because that award is given to players polarized to their positions, whereas Pippen could defend anyone anytime and was the best team defender ever and fast break defender ever also. Defense is half the game, but people put too much attention toward offense.
This video never gets old
One of the greatest ever. Like a gazelle but as strong as a truck. Thank you for playing Scottie!
My favorite player all time. If he's not in discussion for best SF ever or at least top 3 you don't know basketball.
How many MVP's and Rings would Jordan have without Scottie on his team?
good point, but dont forget the game againts utah, pippen was injured. and jordan could survive. pippen is the best side kick for jordan, but jordan still the hero.
What about Rodman?
CroPyrotechnic yeah, BIG three, Pippen, MJ and Rodman, just pleasure to watch
The same amount that Lebron has without Wade and Bosh. Just playing. If Pippen was never his teammate I assume that he wouldn't have retired to play baseball and he would have had a much more difficult time of winning championships. I'll say about 4 rings. Pippen was the first person that Jordan thanked in his HOF speech and from what I could see those two aren't even that close off the court.
I think that Jordan would have about 2-4 rings without Pipen, and it becomes 1-3 without Pipen or Rodman.
He’s my goat. I started watching the Bulls because of MJ. But when Scottie got his game I started watching because of him. Even when he went to Houston and Portland which I know he was beyond everyone in skill, play and talent. Their he had Smith as his play partner and Damon was trying to be his Robin, and where Scottie made Shremp his Steve Kerr.
Scottie Pippen gave birth to the pointforward position. He and Micheal Jordan got me through some difficult times in my life. Thanks Chicago bulls, 91-93 and 96-98.
this guy it's great, many people put him in a second place cos' of jordan, but Jordan career wouldn't be anything without Pippen, and he was too inteligent too.
Nigga if you don't think Pippen's second place to Jordan then you're delusional. Jordan's career without Pippen stepping up would still be HoF. Even before Pippen became an All-Star in 90-91, MJ already had an MVP, 5 All-Star selections, 5 All-NBA selections, 3 All-Defense selections, a DPoY, and 4 scoring titles. He could have never won a ring and gotten into the HoF off that.
And if you think Pippen could have won a ring without Jordan, then you only have to look at Jordan's retirement season to see how that worked out. They went out in the 2nd round lol.
lynchie137 It's a shame that after his first 11 seasons with the Chicago Bulls from 1987-88 to 1997-98, where he won six NBA Championships with them in '90-'91, '91-'92, '92-'93, '95-'96, '96-'97 and '97-'98 to be a part of Chicago's 1990s Championship Dynasty,...
,...Pippen was shipped to the Houston Rockets in a sign-and-trade for '98-'99, where he played alongside Rockets' franchise cornerstone C Hakeem Olajuwon and the ever-so-talkative All-Star PF Charles Barkley.
During his one and only season with the Rockets, Pippen averaged 14.5 points per game, 6.5 rebounds per game, 5.9 assists per game, 2.0 steals per game, and 0.7 blocks per game while averaging 40 minutes per game in all 50 games played.
You can really say that his across-the-board stats were still good, but somewhat the scoring is down from his Chicago Bulls glory days. However, Pippen should not have played that many minutes because he just came off his second back surgery after the 1998 NBA Finals (Chicago vs. Utah) ended in a Chicago Bulls series victory over the Utah Jazz, but that was because Houston had no depth at SF with only journeyman 3PT shooter SF Sam Mack and an aging former NBA Sixth Man of the Year and near 40-year-old washed-up scoring machine swingman (SG/SF) Eddie Johnson.
They should've utilized either Sam Mack and/or Eddie Johnson more to allow Pippen to rest his bad back, but Rudy Tomjanovich overplayed him at 40 minutes per game. So what was the point of playing Pippen 40 minutes per game when he just had a second back surgery and was utilized as the third option on offense behind Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley? And Pippen seemed to be a more natural fit for Phil Jackson's Triangle Offense rather than being a weak fit for Rudy Tomjanovich's Half-Court Offense imo.
Only because the head coach of the '98-'99 Houston Rockets (Rudy Tomjanovich) didn't even bother to change up his system (half-court offense) to accomodate Scottie Pippen's true skills (which was as a point forward/leader/lockdown defender) rather than utilizing him as a catch-and-shoot gunner while Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon remained Houston's go-to-guys on offense/scoring.
Many media pundits expected Pippen to be the #1 superstar for Houston and Portland just because he was finally outside of Michael Jordan's shadow again, which seemed to be his constant stigma. But his somewhat lack of usage on Rudy Tomjanovich's half-court offense for scoring really indicated that Pippen was unhappy having to be the third wheel to Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley, especially after having played the role of Michael Jordan's sidekick throughout the glory days of the Chicago Bulls.
lynchie137 Pippen's lowest point in Houston was with his feuding with Charles Barkley over Barkley's lack of desire to win an NBA Championship.
Barkley did come close to winning the '92-'93 NBA Championship with the Phoenix Suns though, but still, Pippen accused him of not giving any effort to play on defense, and never watched his weight with his unhealthy food choices overstating his gifted monster basketball talents.
Barkley's desire to win can actually be misunderstood. When he was with the Philadelphia 76ers from '84-'85 to '91-'92, Barkley blasted Harold Katz (the 76ers' owner at the time of Barkley's 76ers career) for not giving him a great support cast that could go deep into the NBA Playoffs, and so Sir Charles did all he can to get himself traded knowing that Katz brought in players that just couldn't play. Ultimately, Barkley went to Phoenix via trade in the 1992 offseason, and it was in '92-'93 that Barkley won his one and only NBA Regular Season MVP Award.
Back on point about Barkley: guys like greatest 90s role player Mario Elie and former Trail Blazers and Rockets' megastar Clyde Drexler got fed up with Barkley's clowning around antics, now there are some serious pros who don't want to be around Barkley too much because of his OTT nature.
And Clyde Drexler was supposed to stay on with the Houston Rockets in '98-'99 instead of retiring after '97-'98. But I think Drexler did retire because of Barkley anyway, and because Drexler's playing style had always been of the athletic dunker type, and with him aging (35-36) he probably retired because we wouldn't see him changing his game from athletic dunker to jump shooter because of age and injuries, although Drexler was still an effective solid starter.
Filipo Sooa Sounds like Sir Charles rubbed a few people the wrong way while in Houston. Perhaps if he were more serious he wouldn't have pissed off his teammates so much and therefore, they would have worked better on the court and generated better results.
But on the other hand, all the players you mentioned were getting up there, so who knows how much they really had left in the tank to give?
lynchie137 Even though Pippen averaged 14.5 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 5.9 APG, 2.0 SPG and 0.7 BPG in 40 MPG, that ridiculous minutes average that he had with Houston seemed exactly insane because:
A) Pippen already came off his second back surgery after the 1998 NBA Finals ended.
B) Because he was with Chicago from '87-'88 (rookie season) to '97-'98, having so many virtually deep playoff runs probably caused Pippen's eventual statistical decline 97/98.
C) The '98-'99 Rockets had no real depth at SF outside of Scottie Pippen seeing as they only had Sam Mack and Eddie Johnson.
If anything, it serves me correctly that Rudy Tomjanovich shouldn't have overclocked Pippen for all 50 of the games he started during the shortened season.
Do you really think Rudy Tomjanovich should've utilized Scottie Pippen on offense instead of leaving him to watch Hakeem Olajuwon (now an aging predictable jump-shooting solid starting Center) and Charles Barkley be the top two guys on Houston's pecking order?
If anything, should journeyman 3PT shooting swingman (SG/SF) Sam Mack or aging former Sixth Man of the Year winner and veteran SG/SF Eddie Johnson have been utilized more at moments when Pippen's on the bench?
Have a look at the averages for each player and see who should've substituted in for Scottie Pippen at times:
A) Sam Mack: 9.2 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 1.3 APG, 0.6 SPG, 0.1 BPG while averaging 20 minutes per game in 0 of 25 games started after being re-acquired by the Vancouver Grizzlies via midseason trade.
B) Eddie Johnson: 4.0 PPG, 0.7 RPG, 0.3 APG, 0.0 SPG, 0.0 BPG while averaging a feeble 6 minutes per game.
Should Eddie Johnson have played more as the backup SF to Scottie Pippen, or do you think Sam Mack was the better man to be the main backup behind Pippen?
Filipo Sooa But look what Portland did to LA in 2001? if only they didn't miss 13 shots in a row and if they could control Rasheed to stop jacking up misses - he missed 6 of the teams 13 consecutive missed shots after getting a 15 point lead in game 7 against the stacked Lakers... And there were no superstars on Portland and they were on their way to the finals but choked... that's twice Pippen was on a starless team and just missed the final (94 verse Knicks because of referee bad call on Pippen at endgame)... point being is that Pippen was a strong anchor to Portland and the chemistry was great around Stoudamire (mighty mouse)
The basketball world has always been all about Jordan, and growing up idolizing Jordan, so was I. But we need more tributes to Pippen like this one. Thumbs way up.
I wish i was able to watch Scottie play in his prime.. They had some great basketball player in that generation..
If Jordan wasnt on his team, his stats would be like lebrons
I miss Red Kerr.....
I love Scottie Pippen. Thank you for that video.
they BOTH make each other the GREATEST there was, there is and there will ever be.
i loved him
put him in league now, easy shuts down curry and runs circles around James. averages triple double no problem.
Absolutely magnificent!!
Mike even said you were the best player on the team....I wont go that far but I'm 46. I saw EVERYTHING. You are my fav of all time, from both ends of the floor. Nobody could fucc with Scottie.
Loved when he dunked on Ewing, then stood over him. Classic.
fucken. shit.
The Ultimate Defender ..
Love Pippen's game. The perfect utility player. Did a little bit of everything at a high level and was the best defender on that Bulls team.
One of my favorite players. Great video, brought me to tears.
FEAR 33
Im so ashamed that I have only been watching Michael Jordan highlights...sorry Scottie!!
Un immense joueur tellement sous côté!!!!! le joueur le plus complet jamais vu sur un parquet nba d' une élégance incroyable ne forcant jamais rien et jouant pour l' equipe avant tout !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Scottie Pippen was so raw, I wish somebody now could play with that much intensity on defense and be a true lock-down defender. He is one of the most underrated NBA players of all-time. In my opinion, he is definitely a top 10 or 15 player of all-time, personally, I rank him at 7 or 8. Cause, if you think of as a pick-up game you are definitely going to want Scottie Pippen on your team and would be about the third or fourth guard/wing-man chosen
Kwahai Leonard is a clone of pippen
Defensively i agree but he isn't nearly as athletic
R. C.P though not for a whole games, pip did guard centers on many possessions. I remember he locked down Ewing for like a quarter in the playoffs
Today's NBA is so suck..
If only I had known what I had as a kid... Growing up with these guys, watching the Dream Team at the age of 10... I can't even watch the bore-BA these days.
my fav player of all time...thanks for the upload
it's impressive how even with such a legendary players a MJ was scottie pippen never got forgotten or underated. Everyone knew he was a very talented player and a legend really.
Nice vid. Brings back memories. Pipp my favorite player of all time!
Wow, what a great job making this Pippen video.
It stays true to him, and what he was all about:
Best Scottie Pippen videos out there, is without a doubt on this channel.
Keep them coming :)
Pippen was a all around player, top defense and one of the top finisher I've ever seen. #33 love that number
Love me some Scottie pippen! It was truly a pleasure watching this Bulls growing up! 33 is the greatest small forward ever! Although Kevin durant reminds me a lot of pip.
The most underrated player to ever play the game. Great mix
I grew up watching the last 3 Bulls championship teams. Me and my memaw, god bless her. We used to watch Bulls games at nighttime on WGN America here in Columbus, Ohio. My memaw passed in 2000, but I've been a Bulls fan ever since. And even though MJ was the star player and rightly so, Scottie Pippen was always my favorite player. Him and Dennis Rodman. I'll ALWAYS be a Chicago Bulls fan!! Like this If you'll always be a Bulls fan, too.
I grew up in Chicago too and my favorite Bulls team in the 90s to watch was the 93-94 squad led by Pippen. That was a contending team that could have won the championship if not for that bogus Hue Hollins call in Game 5 during the Knicks series. It was just a pleasure to watch those guys play and move the ball around like a team should. It was good basketball. Never got that feeling again after Jordan came back. Yes we won three more times, but we all knew acquiring Rodman was the main factor.
He made it look so easy.underrated but always appreciated
July-14-2019
