IT a real one to give Grant Hill props as the heir apparent to MJ. Without the injuries, Grant without a doubt would’ve been a top 10 player of all time. He wouldn’t dethrone MJ, but he’d be in the likes of Kobe. People seem to forget that.
Top 10 ever (kinda hard to rank guys at different spots without flaws) is pure hyperbole with Grant. He was nice, but he was like a lighter version of LBJ. Even when healthy he never developed a consistent perimeter jumper and he never had one when he came back and played after injuries Let's just say he coulda been a top 5 SF ever.
@@FuShengAlex yeah people over do it with the top 10 ever bit. Such an exclusive group guys like Kobe isnt even a consensus top 10 player (he’s in mine) so just shows how tough a group it is to get into. G Hill was well on his way to being maybe top 30 but we’ll never know.

@@KaliweteKid Dude MJ had talked about the Pistons horribly and continuously before that game, so I wouldn't have shook his hand either. MJ didn't wnt him on the team because Isaiah Thomas would never bow down to him and has a winning record against him. He met the one guy that was just as competitive as him and couldn't stand it, which is what we call today PETTY.
Hmmm interesting that Scottie was the second player and first for a playoff team to lead his team in all statistical categories. He took a Jordanless team to 50 wins and should’ve won the MVP award. He did win the All Star game award after putting on a clinic. Funny how some people have revisionist history...
Olajuwon deserved that MVP award in 1994. Also, Scottie on his own led the Bulls to 55 wins and a 2nd round playoff elimination. Meanwhile, Isiah led the Pistons once to a 63 win season and an NBA title beating Bird, Jordan and Magic in the process. It's not hard to tell who the better leader was.
@@drestathagangsta8880 Valid facts, but he wasn't arguing against Isaiah, he was arguing FOR Pippen. Of Course Isiah was the leader, but at the same time Pippen never had to do that before, it takes leaders years of playing to learn the ins and outs of that role, even if you were just one notch below. Pippen was a different personality from Jordan so the organization probably felt different in the locker room and during practice, so you can't take away from what Pippen did after MJ. But of course Isiah was great! He was at it for years.
@Ulysses432 wtf are you talking about. Pippen was never the 2nd best in the NBA. And not the best player on the Dream Team that was Charles Barkley as said on record by Chuck Daley the Pistons Coach at the time. He told Barkley he was the greatest player he ever had the pleasure of coaching. Barkley brings it up all the time. And he avg more points than Jordan in the Olympics. Pippen will never be regarded as one of greatest. He will be the all time best side kick forever. Isiah Thomas is the 2nd greatest point guard of all time said by who Michael Jordan. Get your facts straight and quit being a sheep.
@Ulysses432 Read your statement stupid you said: "Pippen was the the second best player in the NBA after Jordan and Isiah WASN'T.". Wrong because Isiah was arguably the best player in the NBA in the 80s when he won his back to back titles. At no point was Pippen ever regarded as the 2nd best player in the NBA ever. Phil Jackson wouldn't even let Pippen take the final shot in the 94 series it went to Toni Kukoc. Pippen sat down like a bitch and bailed the final play. ruclips.net/video/QZhupKWCsEU/видео.html You also said: "Pippen was THE BEST PLAYER ON THE DREAM TEAM as said by the coaches, trainers and journalists." That's subjective I don't know what articles you were reading but Charles Barkley avg the most points on the team 2nd was Jordan. I dunno what you were watching but how could you possibly tell who was the best player when every game was decided by 30 pts or more. You may hate Isiah but you cannot take away the fact he made Jordans life a living hell in the 80s. Unless your a 🐑🐑🐑
Zeke was a Finals MVP, he was the best player on a back to back championship team. I saw him play on one ankle and nearly beat the Showtime Lakers in the 88 NBA Finals.
Hard truth though: Scottie at that time was notably better than Thomas. Pippen was 21/8/7 at the time on 51% FG% with more steals and 5x as many blocks per game and Isiah was 18.5/3/7 on 44.6% FG%. The only stat Isiah was higher in was turnovers. Scottie's prime stats and accomplishments are also better than Isiah's, so. . .tbh, he can't sit there and knock Pipp' just because he was on a team with MJ. Pippen was extremely important to the Bulls winning and I don't think they win any more than maybe 2-3 with an average replacement SF instead. My man Isiah is just salty here tbh. He doesn't have the right to disrespect Pippen. Pipp' is way underrated.
Zeek gets his props. He beat Jordan, Magic anddddd Bird in a punch u in your mouth era. Hard nose kid from Chicago should of been on that team along with Shaq.
@@Azdal Cool. Thanks for info. Hakeem is one of the few people in league history who could've guarded Kevin Durant. Rodman and Pippen too short. Everyone else 7 feet, too slow.
Dude, the worst player on dream team 1 was Christian Lattener. The worst on 2.0 was hall of famer Mitch Richmond. Not to mention the fact Bird was washed basically by then. He spent 95% of his time laying on the floor to stretch out his back. Dream Team 2.0 had Shaq, Hakeem, and Robinson at center. Dream team 1.0 had Robinson and Ewing. So, I mean remove Robinson from the equation and you're left with having Shaq and Hakeem or Patrick Ewing. I mean, Ewing is a legend and one of the better centers to ever play. But, he's not in the same tier as Hakeem and Shaq, period. Then I mean Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway pre injuries were only just like considered to be the new faces of the league. Still had Barkley, Stockton, Malone, and Pippen in the backend of their primes. Both Barkley and Pippen maybe lost half a step in athleticism but had become so much more complete as players. Better ball handlers, passers, expanded their offensive repertoire with better more consistent shooting from mid and 3pt range. And the cherries on top you have Gary Payton and Reggie Miller. Two agitators that were the best at getting under people's skin, talking non stop, and most annoyingly often backing up that talk with play that only got better in clutch time. Then, I mean Magic was still great but past nearing the end of his prime, had knee problems, and was dealing with forced early retirement due to just recently learning of his HIV diagnosis. Chris Mullins isn't better than anyone on the 96 team either. So I mean, the 96 team has just about everyone in their prime, had more depth and talent at every position, and the 96 versions of Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Pippen, and Robinson were all just as good if not better than they were in 92. Yes, 92 had Jordan and he's the goat but the 96 team is better in every other regard. More shooting, more size, more athleticism, more youth, more depth, and had more pressure on them as they had to follow up the most praised teams in any sport ever. So, the expectations were way higher while also playing at an Olympics that was held on home soil in Atlanta. If the 1996 team did anything but dominate their way to a gold they would've been labeled as one of the biggest disappointments in the history of sports.
@I Am King Migraines are no fucking joke. I don't think you understand just how severe they are. You can't be your best when you've got a migraine. But you're correct about the second part. I give you props for that.
What championship winning leader wouldn’t? Imagine if you were the leader of a back to back championship team and Scottie pippin and Christian Laetner took your spot

So was Isiah. Scottie would have never won anything without MJ. You replace Isiah with Scottie and the Pistons don't win. Only MJ, Larry, and Magic should have had a say in who else was on that team.
@@TheTruthiest you dont even believe that.... Isiah had Joe Dumars ( one of the fifty greatest players also and Rodman too. 6 rings to 2 rings. End of discussion
@@tubiviral9093 that's at least not what he said on air, so everything else is assumptions. I don't get the discussion anyway, no one wanted him, because he was a dirty scumbag. So he shouldn't be on a national team anyway.
How did he deserve to be there ? He never even made an All NBA team for the 5 years prior but suddenly "deserved" to be on the 92 Team ? The 4 Guard Positions were Stockton,Magic,MJ and Drexler who is coming off ? Go ahead and look at the 91-92 All NBA First and Second Team 9/10 of them are in the Dream Team thats 9 out of the 11 spots and those two went to Magic and Bird. Even Kevin Johnson a point guard himself made the 90 91 and 92 All NBA teams and wasn't selected for the Dream Team are you going to claim Isiah deserved it over him given the form at the time ? And Kevin Johnson was averaging more points rebounds assists while shooting a better percentage but Isiah deserved the spot ? Also character matters when it comes to representing ones country.
@@cp3190 first of all it doesn’t seem like you were ever alive to see those guys play and I can if you did, simply saying stats and achievements doesn’t mean anything
I like Scottie Pippen but Isiah Thomas has a point here. He wasn’t the man on that team or one of the faces of NBA during that time. Bird, Magic, Jordan, Isiah, Hakeem were all faces of NBA during that time. Scottie was like Patrick Ewing, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Alonzo Mourning, John Stockton, and others. Now are were several players who were between the two groups and they were Karl Malone, Dominique Wilkins, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, and Clyde Drexler.
That's not what Scottie said though. He never claimed that he was making an ultimatum, he just stated that he didn't want Isaiah on the team which implies other people didn't want him there either.
com4535 well Jordan told Phil Scottie was best player on that dream team. And one of the best coaches at the time said Pippen was the best player on that team too. Meaning Pippen was to be reckoned with that year. He deserved his spot and deserves to criticize Zeke leadership ability and teamwork ability.
I am a Isiah fan but did anyone just hear him say that the Best Player Ever is M Jordan... But when he talks now he has Jordan as 3rd behind LeBron and Kareem... That's how you know it's personal with him and Jordan
No if he was being honest, he would’ve said it wasn’t his decision because newsflash, IT WASNT! Scottie didn’t have any say so on who made the team because he barely made the team himself. It Dominique isn’t injured, Scottie is battling Chris Mullin for that other small forward spot on the bench. If MJ, Bird, and Magic give the ok for Zeke to be on the team, Scottie is watching at the crib with everybody else
And this just shows you how players really felt about Scotty. Not saying they didn’t think he was great but it’s obvious he wasn’t looked at the same as Michael Jordan
@Tone McKinney Thank you! Most of the league didn't see Scottie as that guy. When he made that top 50 team and Wilkins didn't, that raised eyebrows. Now the revisionist history elevating him to a status he never had and making him say goofy stuff.
@@mckinneyanthony250 🤔how many different teams have LeWho play for again? And if people think he's going to win another championship with the Lakers...he not!
LeBron has won at least one championship for each team that he has played for. No player has been put under so much pressure to perform at that level as LeBron (coming into the NBA as an 18-years old kid). He has avoided scandal, donated to his community (even started a school and scholarship program), and took up social activists issues. Who else can say this? When N*groes were unaliving each other over a pair of Nike Air Jordans...Michael Jordan was as quiet as a church 🐁. Hard to respect his silence, especially when you knew people beat up and unalived over HIS silence about HIS shoes. But, nobody compares to Brother Ali and his contributions to the African struggles in AmeriKKKa. Rest In Power 😇. ruclips.net/user/shortsnh1WHVZKM3o?feature=share Word.
this clip alone tells you why he couldn't be on DT1. He's been feeling this way about all those DT1 players since 1990 and only says nice things about MJ because he knows the NBA world will ostracize him for it if he did anything like this about MJ.
Zeke can hate MJ all he want but still respect his game, Jordan also said he hates Zeke on tape multiple time but still respect him. What Zeke really trying to say is that beside those 3 legends, no one on that team is on Zeke level ( Hakeem and Malone eventually surpassed him but at that time Zeke was the 2 time champs now)
Think you're taking what isiah meant out of context. He's said Scottie PIPPEN in 1992 along with all those other guys other than Magic Bird and Jordan at 1992 should not have had the leverage to keep isiah out. Let's be honest Magic probably didn't want him on the team after all the personal stuff that happened between them and isiah Thomas starting a rumor he was gay allegedly. But in 1992 it's very important that you know that he and Scottie or anyone else on that team were not comparable in terms of stature, you're talking about the second best point guard ever Jordan's words. It's a reason why Jordan says that to save his ass because if Stockton was actually a better player than IT even tho he has all the stats to back it up, Jordan has to let it be known that Isiah was one of the best because isiah has a winning record and closed out Jordan so many times
@@NotSpider Because Bird was ready to retire, Magic was out for a year and MJ played a round of golf everyday with Daly and played cards all night in his room. Barkley is not on their level and even he admits it.
Nah, Zeke was good but he was not even the best player in the Piston's when they started winning. Joe Dumars was playing better than Zeke both in offense and defense but Zeke was more popular
Yes! had Shaq & Isiah been on the Dream Team instead of Laettner & Stockton ( whom I don’t mind him or Isiah) it would’ve been the best team ever assembled. Dream team II who didn’t have MJ is NEVER beating the first Dream team. Also Hakeem was the best Centre in the 90s he had already schooled Shaq in the finals & in that era.

I’ve seen this several times and I’m still laughing like it’s the first time and I’m a true Scottie fan. Hilarious 😂 😂
I'm right there with you, a real side-splitter
Isiah is a champion and was a beautiful player to watch. He is up there with the best players that ever played the game. He was part of the bad boys and was hated by his competitors. That is the ultimate badge of honor as a champion. I think if he played in this era he would have been on several teams and his opponents would have hated him, but would have loved for him to join their team. ;-)
He would never team hop. Greatest Piston ever!
He was the player that drawn interest to basketball because of him, and I grew up a 76ers fan…lol
The Pistons were dirty. White boy was a bigot. Sour ass loser as well.
Yes, the pistons cheap shots and Isiah spreading Magic Johnson rumors was "beautiful "? .🤮🤮🤮🤮. Isiah has zero class.. he proved it with his Knicks office behavior

@@masterstepz9800 yea his game wasnt as polished in the 90's and hakeem was giving everyone the work back then so ig ur right bout that
IT a real one to give Grant Hill props as the heir apparent to MJ. Without the injuries, Grant without a doubt would’ve been a top 10 player of all time. He wouldn’t dethrone MJ, but he’d be in the likes of Kobe. People seem to forget that.
Top 10 ever (kinda hard to rank guys at different spots without flaws) is pure hyperbole with Grant. He was nice, but he was like a lighter version of LBJ. Even when healthy he never developed a consistent perimeter jumper and he never had one when he came back and played after injuries
Let's just say he coulda been a top 5 SF ever.
@@FuShengAlex yeah people over do it with the top 10 ever bit. Such an exclusive group guys like Kobe isnt even a consensus top 10 player (he’s in mine) so just shows how tough a group it is to get into. G Hill was well on his way to being maybe top 30 but we’ll never know.
Folks forget that the league was giving Grant the mantle before his injury.. thats why this 75 list is bs because they left grant off

@@joeblow2689 Larry did the same when they lost to the Pistons and countless amounts of players have. Isaiah beat the Great white hope, league darling Magic and the golden boy MJ and people hated him for it. People are truly hilarious.
@@jacobsblessings754 but the bulls shook their hands for like 3 consecutive years and they couldn't do the same? Can't use the Celtics excuse, it was between them and the bulls. At least Joe dumars and John Salley were men enough to shake hands and accept defeat.
@@KaliweteKid Dude MJ had talked about the Pistons horribly and continuously before that game, so I wouldn't have shook his hand either. MJ didn't wnt him on the team because Isaiah Thomas would never bow down to him and has a winning record against him. He met the one guy that was just as competitive as him and couldn't stand it, which is what we call today PETTY.
Hmmm interesting that Scottie was the second player and first for a playoff team to lead his team in all statistical categories. He took a Jordanless team to 50 wins and should’ve won the MVP award. He did win the All Star game award after putting on a clinic. Funny how some people have revisionist history...
Olajuwon deserved that MVP award in 1994. Also, Scottie on his own led the Bulls to 55 wins and a 2nd round playoff elimination. Meanwhile, Isiah led the Pistons once to a 63 win season and an NBA title beating Bird, Jordan and Magic in the process. It's not hard to tell who the better leader was.
@@drestathagangsta8880 Valid facts, but he wasn't arguing against Isaiah, he was arguing FOR Pippen. Of Course Isiah was the leader, but at the same time Pippen never had to do that before, it takes leaders years of playing to learn the ins and outs of that role, even if you were just one notch below. Pippen was a different personality from Jordan so the organization probably felt different in the locker room and during practice, so you can't take away from what Pippen did after MJ. But of course Isiah was great! He was at it for years.
@Ulysses432 wtf are you talking about. Pippen was never the 2nd best in the NBA. And not the best player on the Dream Team that was Charles Barkley as said on record by Chuck Daley the Pistons Coach at the time. He told Barkley he was the greatest player he ever had the pleasure of coaching. Barkley brings it up all the time. And he avg more points than Jordan in the Olympics. Pippen will never be regarded as one of greatest. He will be the all time best side kick forever. Isiah Thomas is the 2nd greatest point guard of all time said by who Michael Jordan. Get your facts straight and quit being a sheep.
@Ulysses432 Read your statement stupid you said:
"Pippen was the the second best player in the NBA after Jordan and Isiah WASN'T.". Wrong because Isiah was arguably the best player in the NBA in the 80s when he won his back to back titles. At no point was Pippen ever regarded as the 2nd best player in the NBA ever. Phil Jackson wouldn't even let Pippen take the final shot in the 94 series it went to Toni Kukoc. Pippen sat down like a bitch and bailed the final play. ruclips.net/video/QZhupKWCsEU/видео.html
You also said:
"Pippen was THE BEST PLAYER ON THE DREAM TEAM as said by the coaches, trainers and journalists." That's subjective I don't know what articles you were reading but Charles Barkley avg the most points on the team 2nd was Jordan. I dunno what you were watching but how could you possibly tell who was the best player when every game was decided by 30 pts or more.
You may hate Isiah but you cannot take away the fact he made Jordans life a living hell in the 80s. Unless your a 🐑🐑🐑
@Ulysses432 ok sheep. The millennial is upset hahahaha look how mad you are lol 🤣😂
Isiah has a point though 😂
Zeke was a Finals MVP, he was the best player on a back to back championship team. I saw him play on one ankle and nearly beat the Showtime Lakers in the 88 NBA Finals.

@@jasse85 seems like everyone on the cast loves him
Hard truth though: Scottie at that time was notably better than Thomas. Pippen was 21/8/7 at the time on 51% FG% with more steals and 5x as many blocks per game and Isiah was 18.5/3/7 on 44.6% FG%. The only stat Isiah was higher in was turnovers. Scottie's prime stats and accomplishments are also better than Isiah's, so. . .tbh, he can't sit there and knock Pipp' just because he was on a team with MJ. Pippen was extremely important to the Bulls winning and I don't think they win any more than maybe 2-3 with an average replacement SF instead.
My man Isiah is just salty here tbh. He doesn't have the right to disrespect Pippen. Pipp' is way underrated.
So he finally admits MJ is the “ greatest player to ever play the game “

“Dream tea 2 could beat Dream team 1” JOKE OF THE WEEK!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Shaq forgot how Malone used to sweep him lol
Dude, the worst player on dream team 1 was Christian Lattener. The worst on 2.0 was hall of famer Mitch Richmond. Not to mention the fact Bird was washed basically by then. He spent 95% of his time laying on the floor to stretch out his back. Dream Team 2.0 had Shaq, Hakeem, and Robinson at center. Dream team 1.0 had Robinson and Ewing. So, I mean remove Robinson from the equation and you're left with having Shaq and Hakeem or Patrick Ewing. I mean, Ewing is a legend and one of the better centers to ever play. But, he's not in the same tier as Hakeem and Shaq, period. Then I mean Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway pre injuries were only just like considered to be the new faces of the league. Still had Barkley, Stockton, Malone, and Pippen in the backend of their primes. Both Barkley and Pippen maybe lost half a step in athleticism but had become so much more complete as players. Better ball handlers, passers, expanded their offensive repertoire with better more consistent shooting from mid and 3pt range. And the cherries on top you have Gary Payton and Reggie Miller. Two agitators that were the best at getting under people's skin, talking non stop, and most annoyingly often backing up that talk with play that only got better in clutch time. Then, I mean Magic was still great but past nearing the end of his prime, had knee problems, and was dealing with forced early retirement due to just recently learning of his HIV diagnosis. Chris Mullins isn't better than anyone on the 96 team either. So I mean, the 96 team has just about everyone in their prime, had more depth and talent at every position, and the 96 versions of Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Pippen, and Robinson were all just as good if not better than they were in 92. Yes, 92 had Jordan and he's the goat but the 96 team is better in every other regard. More shooting, more size, more athleticism, more youth, more depth, and had more pressure on them as they had to follow up the most praised teams in any sport ever. So, the expectations were way higher while also playing at an Olympics that was held on home soil in Atlanta. If the 1996 team did anything but dominate their way to a gold they would've been labeled as one of the biggest disappointments in the history of sports.

Go ahead and look at the 91-92 All NBA First and Second Team 9/10 of them are in the Dream Team thats 9 out of the 11 spots and those two went to Magic and Bird.
Even Kevin Johnson a point guard himself made the 90 91 and 92 All NBA teams and wasn't selected for the Dream Team are you going to claim Isiah deserved it over him given the form at the time ?

I like Scottie Pippen but Isiah Thomas has a point here. He wasn’t the man on that team or one of the faces of NBA during that time.
Bird, Magic, Jordan, Isiah, Hakeem were all faces of NBA during that time. Scottie was like Patrick Ewing, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Alonzo Mourning, John Stockton, and others.
Now are were several players who were between the two groups and they were Karl Malone, Dominique Wilkins, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, and Clyde Drexler.
That's not what Scottie said though. He never claimed that he was making an ultimatum, he just stated that he didn't want Isaiah on the team which implies other people didn't want him there either.
don't forget scottie is also 6-0 in the finals. Even the GOAT praises Pippen. I'll take his words over yours and Zekes.
com4535 well Jordan told Phil Scottie was best player on that dream team. And one of the best coaches at the time said Pippen was the best player on that team too. Meaning Pippen was to be reckoned with that year. He deserved his spot and deserves to criticize Zeke leadership ability and teamwork ability.

Pippen was the ultimate Robin. Nothing wrong with that! Pippen fit quite nicely on the dream team as well.
He did more things than Isaiah on the court Scottie was a true balled
Hakeem was the best of the bigs in the 90s. He was the clear cut most dominant in head to head matchups against other bigs.
To be fair with Scottie he was asked a question amd he answered it honestly, even if I was asked I would say I don't want him on the Dream Team too!
No if he was being honest, he would’ve said it wasn’t his decision because newsflash, IT WASNT! Scottie didn’t have any say so on who made the team because he barely made the team himself.

this clip alone tells you why he couldn't be on DT1. He's been feeling this way about all those DT1 players since 1990 and only says nice things about MJ because he knows the NBA world will ostracize him for it if he did anything like this about MJ.
Zeke can hate MJ all he want but still respect his game, Jordan also said he hates Zeke on tape multiple time but still respect him. What Zeke really trying to say is that beside those 3 legends, no one on that team is on Zeke level ( Hakeem and Malone eventually surpassed him but at that time Zeke was the 2 time champs now)
Think you're taking what isiah meant out of context. He's said
Scottie PIPPEN in 1992 along with all those other guys other than Magic Bird and Jordan at 1992 should not have had the leverage to keep isiah out. Let's be honest Magic probably didn't want him on the team after all the personal stuff that happened between them and isiah Thomas starting a rumor he was gay allegedly. But in 1992 it's very important that you know that he and Scottie or anyone else on that team were not comparable in terms of stature, you're talking about the second best point guard ever Jordan's words. It's a reason why Jordan says that to save his ass because if Stockton was actually a better player than IT even tho he has all the stats to back it up, Jordan has to let it be known that Isiah was one of the best because isiah has a winning record and closed out Jordan so many times
