Agree totally. Much respect for Reggie Miller all around, even as a long time Bulls fan. He leaves out the political parts and talks about basketball. Nice interview guys.
If Michael really wanted to dig out how selfish Pippen was, he would have kept all the footage of the much less talked about 1994/95 season. Where the Bulls were 23-25 before the All Star Game and 34-31 before Jordan came back and Pippen was demanding trades left, right and center.

The Bulls ran the same play in January of 1994 with Pippen inbounding the ball to Kukoc for Toni to take the last shot, vs the Pacers, after Miller hit what he thought was a game winner. Reggie was even bowing to the Chicago Stadium crowd, and they don't even bring it up? Pippen had no problem "distributing" then.

Probably because it wasn’t the playoffs. Also, who knows what happened between Phil and Pippen between Jan and the Knicks series. No justifying any of it.

Now I know Charles Barkley was so upset on Pippen in Houston. But still he tried to show compliment on him til this day. It's shows which man had more wisdom.
Hiring Billup doesn’t change the geography of OR, very doubtful the front office will suddenly be willing to spend more to trade for a championship roster or any top players want to play there, some factors are beyond what Chauncey and Dame can do
Pippen's contract & injury was important because it was an issue for that last season. Even Rodman's rendezvous with Electra was mentioned. Doesn't seem like he cares or that anybody cares that he brought that up but it happened during that season.
Exactly!!!! All of the issues in each of the big name players careers were building up to the last dance and brought everyone to the end. I know the doc was Mike centered but EVERYONES issues led to the last dance and in the end they showed how despite those issues Mike, Pip, Rodman and the squad of many others came through at the end to clutch the last chip. Its a heroic tale and Pip just has to accept that he did what he did but, like the others, came through at the end to help the Bulls win the last one instead of trying to belittle Mike and Phil because his issues and his own decisions were shown
Not only did he make the shot, Scottie had two chances in the last couple minutes and missed both shots. Phil drew up a play for someone who he thought would make it, and he did.
6:45 Reggie makes the perfect point. Those of us who watched 90s basketball and who took careful notice of the abilities and impact of each player...we know Scottie Pippen. He was the prototype point forward, he could do everything; assists, steals, blocks, rebounds, run the offense. And he could literally lock a player down with his defense (an ability or trait that is completely absent from today's NBA). Pippen and Jordan could both dictate the tempo and outcome of a game with defense. And I can't tell you how many times I watched Bulls games where Jordan would have a crazy stat line, like 30+ points 10 assists 10 rebounds and guess who had almost the identical stat line in the SAME GAME.....SCOTTIE PIPPEN. Those were wild games to watch and realize what kind of duo they were, beyond legendary. But listening to Scottie over the last nearly 30 years...he's sensitive and bitter. And that's not good. Players like Shaq and Barkley are perfect examples of people who have things to be bitter about (and they might be in their hearts), but publicly they let it all go so they can move on and have a productive professional and personal life long after their playing days are over. Scottie is throwing shade on everyone and bordering on slander at times, if he can't back up his claims. It's sad. I don't like bitter Scottie Pippen. I think he deserved more praise in his playing days. I think he deserved more money for sure. But I think he deserves for Scottie Pippen to treat Scottie Pippen better today in 2021.
January 21st 1994, Pacers vs Bulls in Chicago: Reggie Miller runs from the baseline to the arc and hits a buzzer beater to put his team up by 2 points. He leaves 0.8 seconds on the clock. Miller moves to center court and takes a bow to the left then one to the right. In the timeout, Phil Jackson draws a play. Scottie Pippen inbounds the ball just inside half court to Tony Kukoc at the arc. Kukoc catches the ball, makes a side step to gain control and drains a 3-pointer before the final buzzer. The Bulls Win! Kukoc did the same against the Bucks in 1993. He did it several times in Europe. That was before 1.8 Pippen sit-out game, May 13th 1994, Knicks at Bulls game 3. In the game 3, Pippen failed at two previous plays that were drawn for him. I am surprised that Pippen suggests that the final play was drawn based on ethnicity. Based on the choice of his words, It seems that Pippen just wants to Be Like Mike...
Wait, the only neg on Pip was his contract, him sitting out and getting surgery during the season. ALL of which most fans know and ALL of which PIP brought onto himself. MJ was portrayed in the Doc as a Bully, bad tempered leader, gambler, trust issues with teammates etc - ALL of which did NOT have to be brought up in the doc, but the doc was fair, as this was a doc on THE BULLS organisation, hence why there were back stories on other player apart from MJ. It centered around MJ because guess what? HE WAS THERE WHEN IT ALL BEGAN.
I doubt they're friends at all (Michael and Scottie). Jordan's alpha personality which made him great in sports can kill relationships. Michael and Barkley used to hang out, don't anymore.
@@grittywuzhere I know some of you guys can be very loud and disrespectful. I don't need to know y'all on a personal level to witness this. Ad in fact you would be wrong since I have close friends that are black. A black coworker once said to me black folks always fucc sh** up when they have something good.
Did we watch the same show? How can you say the doc didn't paint Scottie in a good light? Jordan LITERALLY said "I couldn't have done it without Scottie. He's my brother. Without Scottie there is no Jordan". Just because Jordan criticized Scottie holding out in the contract, doesn't mean the documentary was a hit job. The media likes to takes things out of context.
It was said because Scottie held out on the final championship...in regards to the contract. If Mike and his agent told him not to sign it if I remember correctly from the documentary. Then he did it anyway..🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@TL2354 here is the key point, the owner Reisndorf told Scottie not to sign the contract but if he did then there would be no re-nogotiation of the contract until it was up. That's as fair as any man can ask another man to be. Scottie didnt listen and didnt bet on himself, he took the money knowing the exact parameters of the situation. Several people told him of the up tick in revenue coming from new tv deals, that were in part influenced by the huge popularity of the Dream Team in the Olympics. On the contract side, Scottie only has himself to blame.
5:25 Lebron would've kept passing to Joe Harris and James Harden who were missing shots and they would've missed more shots and been blown out, while he'd just excuse himself with "making the right play," and the Lebron-stans would call his teammates trash and blame them.
@Aaron9 he was truly significant not HIS way of thinking significant, career numbers don't mean much with what he did in his peak & prime, he was no alpha tho
I would assume Jordan could have won it with a Shawn Marion, Tayshaun Prince, Steve Smith, etc. Pippen proved that he couldn't win 5hit without Jordan though.
@@danielhadley7391 The lie is the assumption that if there was no Scottie, it would just be an empty void in his position. No. The Bulls would have found another player instead. What if they acquired a good Center such as David Robinson? A great playmaker point guard like Gary Payton? A big man defender such as Mutombo? Like, Scottie is good yes, but he's replaceable. Michael Jordan is not.
Pippen, most likely: "To say Larry Bird is racist for talking so much sh*t to black players and acting superior to them.....I got no problem with that."
Why don’t you bring on the director of the last dance and ask him why Scottie is portrayed the way you feel he’s portrayed. You have the contacts it would cut to the chase.
we have back office problems. Especially when you see players who absolutely loved Indiana (ie-Oladipo) who all of a sudden don't want to be here. PG got to the point where he also hated it. Vogel should have been kept here for longer, but Bird had his own idea of how long a coach can be effective. I don't think we will have a great team again until the Pacers are sold and the big shots are replaced.
On Kevin Durant: James Harden and Joe Harris shot like 30% from the field during game 7. The way I see it, they're the reason they lost the series. Harden and Harris were trash.
He led nearly this team to the finals and a championship last year. This season, he had a high ankle sprain and Davis was out. Also, as set up guy sometimes players don’t hit shots. I try not to judge a player and their skill by the last few weeks and instead by their career. Lebron has shown he can lead mid level talent to great things. Even if this year it didn’t happen do to wide variety of factors. Let’s be kind and reasonable
Scottie is so transparent with his criticism. He is trying to elevate himself by putting down MJ. Scottie is more like LeBron (all around player) and MJ is more like Durant (Scorer) so by criticizing Durant and praising LeBron, he is essentially praising himself and putting down MJ.
No, Jordan was an all around player. He was 1st Team All Defense NINE times. The only player to ever accomplish that feat. He also won Defensive Player of the Year in 1988.
@@Kingepticon definitely. Jordan was an incredible defender and was the best offensive and defensive player in the nba for many years. What I meant is that Pippen is more like LeBron in that he’s more of a facilitator offensively. Jordan and Durant are both unstoppable scorers that could win a game by themselves. LeBron and Pippen both need their teammates.
Miller was on point on everything except the Durant in regards to What Pip said. in the article GQ Pip was saying that Durant trying to win the game by himself and was tired because that takes a lot out of you. So Miller and Pip are saying the same thing.
First of all-Scottie is doing all of this to promote his new book, "Unguarded." Secondly, In The Last Dance Jordan says several times in different ways how much Scottie meant to his success. He said Scottie was the best teammate to not winning without him. He says, "Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak Scottie Pippen." The best player of all time is saying this about you and that's not enough? The rest was true and the downside of Pippen. But the positives outweigh the negative. Seems like Scottie is only looking at the negative in all instances.
As long as the Bucks keep playing teams with injured stars they are the 96 Bulls. You know they are praying for a Suns injury in the Finals. Go Bucks....The Injury warriors.
Maybe they don’t want Leonard on the side line because they need PG13 to feel like he is the King of the team right now, if Leonard was on the side line PG would still feel like number 2, so they need him to feel like number one ☝🏽. So it’s all for PG that Leonard is not on bench. Just my thoughts
Reggie said Nash didn't call time out because kd was their heavy hitter but that's the same argument pippen made for himself on the last shot...look Scottie was third in MVP votes that year had three chips and lead the bills to like 55 wins with no jordan and you right up a play for a rookie over me and to have me inbounding it....basically pippen understood they intended to keep him as robin no matter how good he actually was....people put so much emphasis into points that we forget that being a good basketball player is more than putting the ball in the bucket....draymond without Steph and play is an avg looking player but Steph and klay dont look like superstars without draymond on the court...i think what Scottie is saying is that Scottie and Mike had a nd and Steph relationship like yeah Mike was the best player but the team was actually mines....☝🙆
whatever. and what happened on this "racist" play? Tony K. made the shot. Jackson was right (as usual) and Scottie comes off looking like a crybaby again.
Why? Is he there for your approval? Murray was on the floor, why did Denver get swept? AD was on the floor, why did Lakers lose? Ibaka is on the floor? Dudes, STFU. He doesn't need to fit the generic bracket. Have you listened to his teammates and coach what they say about him? What about Ballmer, an 80 billion dude?
Here is where its all wrong. Jackson may or may not be racist. Most likely he is not, we dont know. But to accuse him to make a clutch decision on his team in an important game based on race??? Thats simply RIDICULOUS. That man was as competitive as it gets which you can clearly see on his results. Come ON.
I may be wrong, but I don't think Pippin and Jordan are friends. I think Scottie is hurt by this documentary and it severed any ties they had together.
I don’t get the contradictory statements by Reggie. They were gonna roll the dice with Durant because of a hard 3 games but with Scottie on the first day the GOAT retires he’s hyped by the entire organization that’s he’s the man. So he busts his ass from training camp on, he’s the face of the franchise, carrying the load, he’s the man, but during the season the coach and gm think Tony’s the future messiah so instead of “rolling the dice” they give Tony the most important shot. And Scottie is in shock. I can only equate it to something like someone telling Hilary she cannot speak at Bills funeral. He broke down then and there . And then the GOAT relives it for no reason on the First Dance , without any point of view for Scottie from Phil, owning up that he decided to go with the future then and there . People need to have a heart. Sure Scottie is bitter, I am not even a fan of his but all this analysis is crap. He was devastated, simply as that.
That Last Dance Doc or "The Come Praise Me" doc spoke volumes to Pippen, it said you Pippen are just another stepping stone, granted a big stone, but still just a stone in MJ's ego feeding journey for the world to see.
Left out Pip, getting knocked out, ECF. in game 6, 1989, 1 minute into game, and never returning, Bulls eliminated. Then 90, game 7, Pip a migraine. If they were trying to embarrass Pippen, they would’ve shown that. Also showed Pippen, gutting it out with back injury, in game 6, 98 finals, to show, he finally got tougher. It showed the growth of Pippen. But if you’re emotional, and don’t think on the 3rd dimension, you won’t get that.
MJ won 5 MVPs with Pippen on the roster, as well as 9 scoring titles, 1 DPOY, 6 FMVP, 9 defensive 1st teams and all nba 1st teams and 3 steals titles. I’ve been looking for someone else, who won this much shit, with 1 teammate, that believes they’re as good as this person, but I can’t find either.
I'm a total Reggie hater, think he is vastly overrated as a player. Very good and that's it. But the media half of his career has been incredible. Always enjoy him on tv and podcasts and such.
LeBron Postseason stats are trash. He's not that guy that would hit the last-second shot like a Micahel Jordan, Reggie Miller, or a Lary Bird. These are facts! I would pick KD over LBJ to take that shot!
Pippens problem now is the same problem he had while playing. He fortunately and unfortunately in some aspects played w the best ever. He never got it gets his due and very few ppl ever say anything good about him. And then Jordan cant leave well enough alone and rescratches the wound w the documentary. Pippen by himself has to take it and if dares say anything Jordan's legion of worshipers lambaste him. Hes in a no win situation. If any of personalized the situation u would feel the same way. Being a part of a great team, being arguably top 5 to 10 in terms of all around basketball ability and ur whole life ur talked about like nothing. And the guy who gets all the credit takes shots. And ur supposed to eat it bc his worshipers dont like it. The racism kukoc thing is pippen going nuts and I cant forgive that but overall I understand his point of view.
Pippen is always a thin-skinned whining person. Rodman had to apologize to him when joining the Bulls. He couldn't get along with Barkley in the same team. Now he accuses Phil Jackson as a racist because he wasn't a designated last shooter in the 1994 playoff game. He and LBJ are alike.
Scottie often was disgruntled, but so was Michael. Greatness in a sense requires a dissatisfaction to fuel a relentless drive for perfection. Bottom line Scottie according to literally every single Bulls player around at that time say he’s the best teammate ever. He just feels left out and mistreated in the Jordan documentary which is what the Last Dance really is. And now he has what in his life? He’s not really a great natural speaker made for TV despite ESPN attempts. So he’s sort of banging around, ruminating like.. an old Bull lol. Great cat when it counted. Let’s drop the Phil racist comments Scottie. That’s too unkind a cut.
That racist Phil Jackson put that damn Ukrainian in for the shot instead of me??? I honestly am feeling bad for Scottie, I understand what Dan is doing, but he just lost his wife and son, and he’s kinda pummeling him right now when he don’t need that shit
When has lebron ever come back from an Achilles injury and in the same season average around 44 minutes in the playoffs? KD is more clutch than Lebron btw
@@toogoat9293 ĺol it's more impressive not to get the injury. Show me the numbers that saids hes more clutch. He's a better scorer I agree, clutch no. Numbers don't lie. Clutch numbers in playoffs and regular show lebron is better.
@@punisher_004 that's because the majority of his shots in the clutch are layups and putbacks. Same thing with Giannis he has good clutch numbers but its because his shots come close to the rim. Outside of 3 feet in the clutch KD beats lebron by a landslide
Reggie Miller is grossly underrated. One of my all time favorites to ever play the game.

Reggie is such a down to earth guy! Love his comments.
Reg is the man!! Solid, up front scorer. No hesitation on the real.
Reggie is very professional!
Did we watch the same show? How can you say the doc didn't paint Scottie in a good light? Jordan LITERALLY said "I couldn't have done it without Scottie. He's my brother. Without Scottie there is no Jordan". Just because Jordan criticized Scottie holding out in the contract, doesn't mean the documentary was a hit job. The media likes to takes things out of context.
Reggie is such a legend
To bad Reggie didn't win a Ring. He was a great player.
It was said because Scottie held out on the final championship...in regards to the contract. If Mike and his agent told him not to sign it if I remember correctly from the documentary. Then he did it anyway..🤔🤔🤔🤔
No one had a gun to his head to sign that but he did anyway. No one to blame but himself
@@TL2354 here is the key point, the owner Reisndorf told Scottie not to sign the contract but if he did then there would be no re-nogotiation of the contract until it was up. That's as fair as any man can ask another man to be. Scottie didnt listen and didnt bet on himself, he took the money knowing the exact parameters of the situation. Several people told him of the up tick in revenue coming from new tv deals, that were in part influenced by the huge popularity of the Dream Team in the Olympics. On the contract side, Scottie only has himself to blame.
No discussion about Carlisle coming back to the Pacers?
Yea! Good point. Reggie should have some thoughts abt it since he played under Carlisle.
5:25 Lebron would've kept passing to Joe Harris and James Harden who were missing shots and they would've missed more shots and been blown out, while he'd just excuse himself with "making the right play," and the Lebron-stans would call his teammates trash and blame them.
Reggie is a solid guy.
Scottie has spent his life saying there’d be no 6 without him 😂
Where's the lie tho
@Aaron9 he was truly significant
not HIS way of thinking significant, career numbers don't mean much with what he did in his peak & prime, he was no alpha tho
I would assume Jordan could have won it with a Shawn Marion, Tayshaun Prince, Steve Smith, etc. Pippen proved that he couldn't win 5hit without Jordan though.
@@wallacepemberton932 Exactly.
@@danielhadley7391 The lie is the assumption that if there was no Scottie, it would just be an empty void in his position. No. The Bulls would have found another player instead. What if they acquired a good Center such as David Robinson? A great playmaker point guard like Gary Payton? A big man defender such as Mutombo? Like, Scottie is good yes, but he's replaceable. Michael Jordan is not.
Pippen, most likely: "To say Larry Bird is racist for talking so much sh*t to black players and acting superior to them.....I got no problem with that."
one of my best players ever " Reggie Miller "
Portland is really good about collecting injury prone players who have 'potential'. Idk how they are so good at this.
Pippin has always been a discontent type of personality
No 3 without Paxson No 3
Without Rodman and Kerr
Best 1 - 2 Punch 🥊 in the game! DP & RM
Why don’t you bring on the director of the last dance and ask him why Scottie is portrayed the way you feel he’s portrayed. You have the contacts it would cut to the chase.
He was portrayed the right way. He quit a playoff game then bitched and moaned about a contract he willingly signed
@@TL2354 thank you
Shaq and Kobe vs. Mike and Pippin who wins?
The 2004 Detroit Pistons know...lol.
I love the Pacers. But since Reggie left we haven't got close to winning shit.
we have back office problems. Especially when you see players who absolutely loved Indiana (ie-Oladipo) who all of a sudden don't want to be here. PG got to the point where he also hated it. Vogel should have been kept here for longer, but Bird had his own idea of how long a coach can be effective. I don't think we will have a great team again until the Pacers are sold and the big shots are replaced.
5:00 He didn't do it with the Lakers!
On Kevin Durant: James Harden and Joe Harris shot like 30% from the field during game 7. The way I see it, they're the reason they lost the series. Harden and Harris were trash.
Without KD, they probably would have been swept.
If lbj makes teammates better why are the lakers players trash now?
And people called players like Clarkson, Crowder and Ingram trash while they were playing with lebron and look at them now....
He led nearly this team to the finals and a championship last year. This season, he had a high ankle sprain and Davis was out. Also, as set up guy sometimes players don’t hit shots. I try not to judge a player and their skill by the last few weeks and instead by their career. Lebron has shown he can lead mid level talent to great things. Even if this year it didn’t happen do to wide variety of factors. Let’s be kind and reasonable
He made the shot Pip damn!
They're definitely not friends...Reggie's not too perceptive
Scottie is so transparent with his criticism. He is trying to elevate himself by putting down MJ.
Scottie is more like LeBron (all around player) and MJ is more like Durant (Scorer) so by criticizing Durant and praising LeBron, he is essentially praising himself and putting down MJ.
No, Jordan was an all around player. He was 1st Team All Defense NINE times. The only player to ever accomplish that feat. He also won Defensive Player of the Year in 1988.
@@Kingepticon definitely. Jordan was an incredible defender and was the best offensive and defensive player in the nba for many years. What I meant is that Pippen is more like LeBron in that he’s more of a facilitator offensively. Jordan and Durant are both unstoppable scorers that could win a game by themselves. LeBron and Pippen both need their teammates.
about kawhi- bank on kawhi helping with the 1st and 2nd rounds then have the role players doing the rest. Sorry if this is a bad take
KD is a 7 FOOT MONSTA that can pull up from 30
Miller was on point on everything except the Durant in regards to What Pip said. in the article GQ Pip was saying that Durant trying to win the game by himself and was tired because that takes a lot out of you. So Miller and Pip are saying the same thing.
Reggie aloysuis Miller jr. The third
Jordan could of built another guy to play the Pippen role.
Jordan and Pippen are more like brothers. They may not even like each other. Until the end of time it's Jordan and Pippen, like Batman and Robin.
Michael would remind Scottie that HE was Batman in their duo. lol
The contract was in contrast of why Scottie hated Jerry so it had to be said
First of all-Scottie is doing all of this to promote his new book, "Unguarded." Secondly, In The Last Dance Jordan says several times in different ways how much Scottie meant to his success. He said Scottie was the best teammate to not winning without him. He says, "Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak Scottie Pippen." The best player of all time is saying this about you and that's not enough? The rest was true and the downside of Pippen. But the positives outweigh the negative. Seems like Scottie is only looking at the negative in all instances.
As long as the Bucks keep playing teams with injured stars they are the 96 Bulls. You know they are praying for a Suns injury in the Finals. Go Bucks....The Injury warriors.
Maybe they don’t want Leonard on the side line because they need PG13 to feel like he is the King of the team right now, if Leonard was on the side line PG would still feel like number 2, so they need him to feel like number one ☝🏽. So it’s all for PG that Leonard is not on bench. Just my thoughts
Reggie said Nash didn't call time out because kd was their heavy hitter but that's the same argument pippen made for himself on the last shot...look Scottie was third in MVP votes that year had three chips and lead the bills to like 55 wins with no jordan and you right up a play for a rookie over me and to have me inbounding it....basically pippen understood they intended to keep him as robin no matter how good he actually was....people put so much emphasis into points that we forget that being a good basketball player is more than putting the ball in the bucket....draymond without Steph and play is an avg looking player but Steph and klay dont look like superstars without draymond on the court...i think what Scottie is saying is that Scottie and Mike had a nd and Steph relationship like yeah Mike was the best player but the team was actually mines....☝🙆
whatever. and what happened on this "racist" play? Tony K. made the shot. Jackson was right (as usual) and Scottie comes off looking like a crybaby again.
Why? Is he there for your approval?
Murray was on the floor, why did Denver get swept?
AD was on the floor, why did Lakers lose?
Ibaka is on the floor?
Dudes, STFU.
He doesn't need to fit the generic bracket. Have you listened to his teammates and coach what they say about him? What about Ballmer, an 80 billion dude?
Paxson Kerr and kukoc all hit gigantic shots in bulls history damn those white guys and phil that racist.
Dame needs another superstar!!!! Simple
Dan sure is happy he is getting all that publicity.
I thought Reggie lived in a Wendy's?
LeBron has ruined a handful of careers
Here is where its all wrong. Jackson may or may not be racist. Most likely he is not, we dont know. But to accuse him to make a clutch decision on his team in an important game based on race??? Thats simply RIDICULOUS. That man was as competitive as it gets which you can clearly see on his results. Come ON.
I may be wrong, but I don't think Pippin and Jordan are friends. I think Scottie is hurt by this documentary and it severed any ties they had together.
I don’t get the contradictory statements by Reggie. They were gonna roll the dice with Durant because of a hard 3 games but with Scottie on the first day the GOAT retires he’s hyped by the entire organization that’s he’s the man. So he busts his ass from training camp on, he’s the face of the franchise, carrying the load, he’s the man, but during the season the coach and gm think Tony’s the future messiah so instead of “rolling the dice” they give Tony the most important shot. And Scottie is in shock. I can only equate it to something like someone telling Hilary she cannot speak at Bills funeral. He broke down then and there . And then the GOAT relives it for no reason on the First Dance , without any point of view for Scottie from Phil, owning up that he decided to go with the future then and there . People need to have a heart. Sure Scottie is bitter, I am not even a fan of his but all this analysis is crap. He was devastated, simply as that.
the goats literally always have + will be wilt chamberlain + bill russell
That Last Dance Doc or "The Come Praise Me" doc spoke volumes to Pippen, it said you Pippen are just another stepping stone, granted a big stone, but still just a stone in MJ's ego feeding journey for the world to see.
Want some tissues Superman? You sound like you’re gonna cry.
Left out Pip, getting knocked out, ECF. in game 6, 1989, 1 minute into game, and never returning, Bulls eliminated. Then 90, game 7, Pip a migraine. If they were trying to embarrass Pippen, they would’ve shown that. Also showed Pippen, gutting it out with back injury, in game 6, 98 finals, to show, he finally got tougher. It showed the growth of Pippen. But if you’re emotional, and don’t think on the 3rd dimension, you won’t get that.
MJ won 5 MVPs with Pippen on the roster, as well as 9 scoring titles, 1 DPOY, 6 FMVP, 9 defensive 1st teams and all nba 1st teams and 3 steals titles. I’ve been looking for someone else, who won this much shit, with 1 teammate, that believes they’re as good as this person, but I can’t find either.
@@kristion9774 I know all the stats because I watched all the games. But thanks for the reminder.
@@mjjumps none needed, I try not cry over little things like basketball.
I'm a total Reggie hater, think he is vastly overrated as a player. Very good and that's it. But the media half of his career has been incredible. Always enjoy him on tv and podcasts and such.
Trae is carrying The Hawks
Lol.
Scottie Pippen is the alpha male, NO.1 player on any team in any era in history, Just lucky enough/Unlucky enough to play his career with MJ.
LeBron Postseason stats are trash. He's not that guy that would hit the last-second shot like a Micahel Jordan, Reggie Miller, or a Lary Bird. These are facts! I would pick KD over LBJ to take that shot!
Nice Reggie
Pippens problem now is the same problem he had while playing. He fortunately and unfortunately in some aspects played w the best ever. He never got it gets his due and very few ppl ever say anything good about him. And then Jordan cant leave well enough alone and rescratches the wound w the documentary. Pippen by himself has to take it and if dares say anything Jordan's legion of worshipers lambaste him. Hes in a no win situation. If any of personalized the situation u would feel the same way. Being a part of a great team, being arguably top 5 to 10 in terms of all around basketball ability and ur whole life ur talked about like nothing. And the guy who gets all the credit takes shots. And ur supposed to eat it bc his worshipers dont like it. The racism kukoc thing is pippen going nuts and I cant forgive that but overall I understand his point of view.
I would Trade CJ ASAP
Pippen is always a thin-skinned whining person. Rodman had to apologize to him when joining the Bulls. He couldn't get along with Barkley in the same team. Now he accuses Phil Jackson as a racist because he wasn't a designated last shooter in the 1994 playoff game. He and LBJ are alike.
Scottie often was disgruntled, but so was Michael. Greatness in a sense requires a dissatisfaction to fuel a relentless drive for perfection. Bottom line Scottie according to literally every single Bulls player around at that time say he’s the best teammate ever. He just feels left out and mistreated in the Jordan documentary which is what the Last Dance really is. And now he has what in his life? He’s not really a great natural speaker made for TV despite ESPN attempts. So he’s sort of banging around, ruminating like.. an old Bull lol. Great cat when it counted. Let’s drop the Phil racist comments Scottie. That’s too unkind a cut.
That racist Phil Jackson put that damn Ukrainian in for the shot instead of me???
I honestly am feeling bad for Scottie, I understand what Dan is doing, but he just lost his wife and son, and he’s kinda pummeling him right now when he don’t need that shit
Why is Reggie giving me strong Obama vibes
I love reggie
360p? cmon now DP
Been thinking the same thing for weeks now
This happens when videos haven't fully been processed by YT.
Too early.
It's 1080p for me....
I love how kawhai was supposed to be the great humble star and popp treated him wrong.. fact is.. hes a diva
stop defending pippen. his accusations is dumb and disrespectful
my #1 tied all-time favorite male athletes/jocks ever are were + or probably will be the goats tied being wilt chamberlain + bill russell
The most dangerous 3 point shooter ever, and easily the greatest shit talker. Lol Reggie Miller is the man
Lebron has shown you in history he hasn't been fatigued on the last shot
Because he never takes the last shot. He runs away from it.
When has lebron ever come back from an Achilles injury and in the same season average around 44 minutes in the playoffs? KD is more clutch than Lebron btw
@@toogoat9293 ĺol it's more impressive not to get the injury. Show me the numbers that saids hes more clutch. He's a better scorer I agree, clutch no. Numbers don't lie. Clutch numbers in playoffs and regular show lebron is better.
@@punisher_004 that's because the majority of his shots in the clutch are layups and putbacks. Same thing with Giannis he has good clutch numbers but its because his shots come close to the rim. Outside of 3 feet in the clutch KD beats lebron by a landslide
