It's probably an unpopular opinion especially with the way Scottie has been acting lately But Pippen is my favorite basketball player of all time I love how versatile he was whatever the bulls needed on any given night he would do
Scottie wasn't that great at guarding 1s, especially fast 1s, and flat out struggled defending big, tall PFs like McHale, Coleman, etc. He was consistently very good at guarding players from 6'4"-6'8" who were too slow to get by or couldn't elevate over him, or couldn't bully him in the paint. Dominique Wilkins, Kemp, Chris Mullin, and K Malone lit him up many times.
Yet since the “Last Dance” documentary came out, Pippen has been saying all sorts of crazy things, about how MJ was “selfish” in retiring after the bulls 1st 3-peat. How Phil is a racist. Heck, Scottie even came out ( before the Last dance) saying LeBron is greater than Jordan, which he later on flip flopped his statement a few times after getting some backlash. Pippen was a great player on the court, no one should doubt that! but he seems very disturbed and lacks self-confidence off the court. As if he feels he still has a chip on his shoulder to prove something, as if others speaking of him as being Robin to Jordan’s Batman is somehow disrespectful to his career? No one thus far in NBA history can be measured up to Jordan, not even Lebron at this point of his career. Pippen needs to stop putting some of his closest “comrades in battles” ( MJ and Phil) down just to elevate himself to the spot light. When it comes to 6 championships in Chicago, MJ always credits Pippen and remind others that He won all those rings with Pippen as a tandem. even at his hall of fame acceptance speech, Jordan opened by saying Pip was there in every championship he’s won.
Apparently y'all are missing the subtle disrespect that Jordan did to Pippin in the last dance. Not shocking to see coming from a bunch of enamored Jordan fans

And people laugh at me when I say that Pipen is as good an athlete as Lebron. Listen to MJ. He unambiguously said Scotty is the best teammate he ever played with. Lebron large body frame made him better than his natural ability. Scotty hands down was a better defensive player than Bron

Pip created what LeBron and Kawhi's games are today. And Pip didn't take these rest games like they do now. Pip was unbelievable. It's most He played with the only guy that could out shadow anybody.
People act like Scottie was great only because he played with MJ. But Scottie was one of the best defensive players in the league year in and year out. MJ and Scottie were one of the best defensive tandems even before Rodman joined them.
No, what people forget is that Pippen was good offensively too, and wanted to pts 17 and 19 a game which is in one of books. Drexler was of the many saying how good Pippen offensively as well.

Navy Tanutrof, how old are you? It seems your degrading comment reminds me that you maybe 12 or 13 years of age. MJ absolutely helped toughen up Pippen mentally & like many of his teammate's around him. MJ made them workout with him 6 days a week @ 6:30 in the morning, he was relentless with work ethic & was a when it came to laziness or consistent mental lapses. It is time to get out of your box & grow up man.
No doubt Pippen helped Jordan, that is what teammates are supposed to. Lebron James played with 15 all-stars to Michael Jordan's 1. 😂😂😂 MJ is far more superior & he is the GOAT!
Except when you played the Pistons. The developer of the game went on record and said that Pip got a nerf whenever the Bulls played the Pistons just because he was a huge Detroit fan.
Scottie is my favorite SF ever, and Mike always gave him the respect and admiration he deserves. For Scottie to put him on blast to sell books is crazy (that’s a rumor I haven’t read it)
Man, MJ praised Pip A LOT on The Last Dance, saying that without him there's no championships, and the only negative thing he said (about being selfish because not getting surgery on time) is the only one that Pippen took from all of that and that made him went nuts on rants over MJ and Phil. He was one of a kind on both ends of the floor, a legend, but he just has lost his mind.
Scottie might just be of a genuinely low IQ, no sarcasm and no mean-spiritedness intended. Every decision he makes in regards to his life and career always appeared to be focused on the immediate and the short-term over the big picture and then having to pick up the pieces somewhere down the road.
Pip was so much fun to watch on defense. Denying passes, taking charges, tipping the ball, steals, double-team hounding, box out rebounding, and a block to put a nice cherry on it all. His jumper wasn't all that great, but the slash and finger roll... mmmm. So good. Thanks for the video!
An under appreciated aspect to scotties game was his dunks. That guy had some of the best in game dunks I’ve ever seen. He was so beautiful to watch. Also his transition pull up 3 was money more times than not. Real special player. And athletic as hell.
Being from Chicago we didn’t look at Scottie as a role player or sidekick…the man was a defensive specialist & could score…he would steal the ball take 2 steps & already be at the rim
Go back and check out the full Dream Team games from 92. Pip is bringing it up the court and running things most of the time. I didn't remember it that way, but looking back, Pippen was a standout in those games.
Pip is the best defender of alltime and most skillful too.... He was complete ... best in 90s ! Toughest era ... best defender in toughest era means best of alltime !
Love it. Hype aside, from Chicago, watched unbiased as a kid, I liked Mike, he was the scorer with all the product and tv marketing deals, but Scottie was always the BEST overall basketball player on the Bulls. He didn't get the awards because he didn't have the media deals, but he was the best defender in the league. He could score any hand from anywhere, he ran point directing his teammates and finding them with passes on the money. He wasn't a selfish ball hog worrying about his scoring stats, he was a team guy. Scottie was the best on the Bulls.
Hey man, thanks for doing these! My childhood consisted of collecting basketball cards, memorizing numbers and stats, playing ball, and crying when my beloved blazers lost. Watching these makes me feel like a kid again! Haha thanks brodie. All the best to you and your success. 🙏🏼
Hodges tell a story about Pippen challenging MJ in practice…MJ took a step back and then commenced to kicking Pippen ass in one on one to the point Pippen quit…Pippen is overrated all time
Pip is my all-time favorite player, followed by Doc, then MJ. Everybody else is an after thought. Pip was PHENOMENAL. Could do everything. Pip's problem was that he was overshadowed by a better player, and overlooked for the credit he deserves in the Bulls' dynasty. He never got either one of the two, (possibly three) Defensive Player of the Year awards he deserved because of Jordan's shadow. He was the best all-around player EVERY year of his prime.
Only bums talk bad about Scottie Pippen. Jordan did not win one championship without this man (before or after). Other players in those bulls team were interchangeable, but not Pippen. Pippen also took that bulls team to the playoffs and to me, they were cheated out of advancing by the poor officiating (but what's new about that).
Uh, Grant was drafted the same year as Pippen…. When Grant left after year 1 of Jordan’s retirement, Pippen was complaining about Krause not giving Grant the money he deserved. The Bulls were struggling without Grant and almost on the verge of not making the playoffs. People always ignore “year 2” of Pippen leading the team..
to be fair, you dont need nba legends to tell you how ridiculously good pippen was. all you need to do is watch him play. and even today when he explains how to play defense it's amazing all the insights and all the things he considered before even moving.....
There's always going to be people who think Scottie was just a ok player who should be grateful he played with Jordan,even his own peers. But anyone that actually paid attention knows Scottie was a superstar and could hold his own with just about anyone in the league at the time.
Pippen was a beast out there, when your playing next to the GOAT its easy to get overlooked but MJ at his HOF speech Sai it himself, he couldn't have done it without Scottie.
It helps to have the best player ever on your team. It helps a lot. But it still takes a team to win games. And it takes a good team, with several good players, to win championships. Forgetting about Scottie Pippen is a newer thing. In the 90s, when the Bulls were unstoppable, people were talking about MJ, for sure, but they were also talking about Pippen.
Pippen was one of the most versatile threats to play the game and one of the prime athletes in league history.

Do think MJ still gets 6?
@@wnnfrhrw4452 ..I wouldn't go that high..Pippen was good but not a top 15 players of all time..lol..Bird..lebron..Durant..Baylor ..dr j are all still better than pippen..not being biased here..Just speaking facts.
Pippen made it look easy... raw talent!
Pippen has this grace like Mike, he was fun to watch… not all greats have this…
The biggest thing that sperated Michael and Pip was the half court offense. On the open court Pip was actually a shade better.
Jordan and Pippen were like superman and batman I still watched the bulls after Jordan left they were still great but the chemistry that pippen had was amazing he was a clutch player as well 👏
Great video! Scottie Pippen is one of the 50 greatest NBA players ever and the most underrated. The Bulls even with MJ would NOT have one those championships without Scottie Pippen and that's a fact!
5:42 I know this video is about Pippen and I am bringing MJ up but man that finger roll might be the greatest I have seen... The degree of difficulty on that shot turning around jumping so high and floating away and to the side from the basket is just insane.
And people laugh at me when I say that Pipen is as good an athlete as Lebron. Listen to MJ. He unambiguously said Scotty is the best teammate he ever played with. Lebron large body frame made him better than his natural ability. Scotty hands down was a better defensive player than Bron
So true
Had a Pippen Blazers jersey. Loved those years too.
Did you burn the jersey when he couldn’t help y’all get any further in the playoffs?
@@mannyneva1760 no. I only followed the Blazers because of Pippen. He's my favorite player. Couldn't care less on how they did in the playoffs 20 years ago
@@therenewedpoet4292 well good he’s your favorite player but that example shows how overrated he is all time✌🏽
@@mannyneva1760 how? Made WCF. Jordan at DC didn't even make the playoffs in the east.
@@therenewedpoet4292 the blazers were in the WCF the year before Pippen got there🤣the wizards were a 19 win team that MJ joined with no other stars after taking 3 years off. They started 2-9 and ended up 26-21 when MJ got injured…you tell me what it is and there’s more to that story. Before MJ got injured at 39 he entered the mvp talk and was averaging 30/6/5 the last 10-15 games before the injury. Pippen was nowhere near MJ and wasn’t even an all star in all 6 championship years 🤣
Pip created what LeBron and Kawhi's games are today. And Pip didn't take these rest games like they do now. Pip was unbelievable. It's most He played with the only guy that could out shadow anybody.
Facts
Pip is a victim of recency bias.
I hated him because I am knick fan..
But Pip was arguably the second best player in East for awhile.
@@Peakfreud lol. Word. Go NY go NY GO!
@@Peakfreud At no point in time was Pippen ever arguably the 2nd best player in the East
@@actionjacksonfive8775 👌
Pip always been my fav #33 🐐
People act like Scottie was great only because he played with MJ. But Scottie was one of the best defensive players in the league year in and year out. MJ and Scottie were one of the best defensive tandems even before Rodman joined them.
No, what people forget is that Pippen was good offensively too, and wanted to pts 17 and 19 a game which is in one of books. Drexler was of the many saying how good Pippen offensively as well.

Scotty is the only other player I’ve watched that I thought could jump and glide like mike Scotty has that swag
Clyde Drexler had an amazing glide too. Not as good as Mike and Scotty, but gorgeous none the less.
Jordan helped grow Pippen into his full potential as a NBA player.
Just like Pippen helped Jordan. Please people stop making stupid comments.
Didn't you hear what Jordan said?
Navy Tanutrof, how old are you? It seems your degrading comment reminds me that you maybe 12 or 13 years of age. MJ absolutely helped toughen up Pippen mentally & like many of his teammate's around him. MJ made them workout with him 6 days a week @ 6:30 in the morning, he was relentless with work ethic & was a when it came to laziness or consistent mental lapses. It is time to get out of your box & grow up man.
No doubt Pippen helped Jordan, that is what teammates are supposed to. Lebron James played with 15 all-stars to Michael Jordan's 1. 😂😂😂 MJ is far more superior & he is the GOAT!
Pippen went crazy last days ;) Anyway one of my favorite players.
Scottie was my favorite player growing up. I enjoyed defense way more than offense
I used to annihilate peeps with Pippen in NBA Jam back in the day, lol. That was nothing compared to real life Pip 💪🏼
imagine if they had the rights to jordan as well instead of being stuck with horace grant?
@@erics8192 game over every time lol
Except when you played the Pistons. The developer of the game went on record and said that Pip got a nerf whenever the Bulls played the Pistons just because he was a huge Detroit fan.
NO GOOD!
JORDAN IS NOBODY WITHOUT GOAT OF POINT FORWARD/ BEST ALL AROUND 2 WAY SF IN HISTORY.
ruclips.net/video/eOoWZNp0AlA/видео.html
Scottie is my favorite SF ever, and Mike always gave him the respect and admiration he deserves. For Scottie to put him on blast to sell books is crazy (that’s a rumor I haven’t read it)
💯👍
Scottie Pippen is for me the best player in the 90ies.
Man, MJ praised Pip A LOT on The Last Dance, saying that without him there's no championships, and the only negative thing he said (about being selfish because not getting surgery on time) is the only one that Pippen took from all of that and that made him went nuts on rants over MJ and Phil. He was one of a kind on both ends of the floor, a legend, but he just has lost his mind.
Scottie might just be of a genuinely low IQ, no sarcasm and no mean-spiritedness intended. Every decision he makes in regards to his life and career always appeared to be focused on the immediate and the short-term over the big picture and then having to pick up the pieces somewhere down the road.
Scottie Pippen was my 2nd favorite player.
I'm still a Pippen fan.
That's what I love about your content... paying homage to some great players who are UNDERRATED nowadays!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How can you be underrated when you been one of the 50 best players of all time and ON the dreamteam?!
@@ImDembe no disrespect to Pippen! But the league NEVER gave him DPOY!!! And he DESERVED IT!!!
@@maxdobasquete when? What year? Cuz the only year he could’ve won there’s no way he was a better defender than Hakeem
Pip was so much fun to watch on defense. Denying passes, taking charges, tipping the ball, steals, double-team hounding, box out rebounding, and a block to put a nice cherry on it all.
His jumper wasn't all that great, but the slash and finger roll... mmmm. So good.
Thanks for the video!
It can be said he was a good shooter , just not a great shooter.
sometimes i dream tha he is me, i want to be like Scottie,
sometimes i thinking about it if this coments read NBA legends like Scottie
There is no one else who can match Pippen skill play on the court....
Jordan
Pippen play all 5 positions Jordan can't... Check John salley interviews, and Jordans
Pippen is probably the most underrated player of all time
top 10 all time no debate, top 5 all time debatably
thank you for making this
scottie's my fav all time
Scottie is my idol, best all around player🏀🏀🏀
Best SF I've ever seen, and he did it on both ends every night in concert with the G.O.A.T.!
Pippen is my all time favorite player. The dunk over Ewing is the background of my phone lol
Scottie said it best he said he was LeBron before LeBron 😂😂😂😂 I can't be mad at him. True statement from one of the best to EVER do it....
An under appreciated aspect to scotties game was his dunks. That guy had some of the best in game dunks I’ve ever seen. He was so beautiful to watch. Also his transition pull up 3 was money more times than not. Real special player. And athletic as hell.
Scottie's in game dunks rate with anyone's. In game, not dunk contests.
Beautiful video Scottie Pippen was my hero as a kid way back as a 6 year old in 1990 and never really faded still my all time favorite player!
Scottie was one of the best. When you speak Michael Jordan you gotta speak Scottie Pippen 👍🏾👍🏾
Being from Chicago we didn’t look at Scottie as a role player or sidekick…the man was a defensive specialist & could score…he would steal the ball take 2 steps & already be at the rim
Mj has said that he relied on pippin and my god pippin was seriously that good
Go back and check out the full Dream Team games from 92. Pip is bringing it up the court and running things most of the time.
I didn't remember it that way, but looking back, Pippen was a standout in those games.
Pip is the best defender of alltime and most skillful too....
He was complete ... best in 90s ! Toughest era ... best defender in toughest era means best of alltime !
Love it. Hype aside, from Chicago, watched unbiased as a kid, I liked Mike, he was the scorer with all the product and tv marketing deals, but Scottie was always the BEST overall basketball player on the Bulls. He didn't get the awards because he didn't have the media deals, but he was the best defender in the league. He could score any hand from anywhere, he ran point directing his teammates and finding them with passes on the money. He wasn't a selfish ball hog worrying about his scoring stats, he was a team guy. Scottie was the best on the Bulls.
Here is to scottie pippen ! 🍻
When the bulls started winning chips pippen was like 3rd or 4th player in the league then grew to be arguably the second best player in the league
A lot of NBA players don’t seem to give Pippen the respect he deserves. I get the distinct sense he’s not liked personally.
Hey man, thanks for doing these! My childhood consisted of collecting basketball cards, memorizing numbers and stats, playing ball, and crying when my beloved blazers lost. Watching these makes me feel like a kid again! Haha thanks brodie. All the best to you and your success. 🙏🏼
Greatest perimeter help-defender EVER
My favorite Bulls player ever!!!!
🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 ( 33 ) 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Scottie Pippen ….. The Best All Around Player To Ever Play In The
🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 N..B.A.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Scottie was essential! Both Pip and MJ was crazy!
Pippen will take on anyone💪💪💪💪💪🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Hodges tell a story about Pippen challenging MJ in practice…MJ took a step back and then commenced to kicking Pippen ass in one on one to the point Pippen quit…Pippen is overrated all time
My favorite player all time!!!!
Pip is my all-time favorite player, followed by Doc, then MJ. Everybody else is an after thought. Pip was PHENOMENAL. Could do everything. Pip's problem was that he was overshadowed by a better player, and overlooked for the credit he deserves in the Bulls' dynasty. He never got either one of the two, (possibly three) Defensive Player of the Year awards he deserved because of Jordan's shadow. He was the best all-around player EVERY year of his prime.
Scottie was a beast
I don’t care what anybody says, Scottie is in my top 5 players ever!
I ❤️ love SCOTTIE PIPPIN. HE WAS A BADASS PERIOD!
There was this video of Kobe analyzing Pippen's defense against another player. It was nothing but praise for what Pippen could do.
Scottie my favorite
Anyone remember when NBC advertise Bulls vs Rockets as
The Dream, The Glyde and Sir Charles
vs
Superman, Batman and Rodman??
The true, GOAT#1!
Only bums talk bad about Scottie Pippen. Jordan did not win one championship without this man (before or after). Other players in those bulls team were interchangeable, but not Pippen. Pippen also took that bulls team to the playoffs and to me, they were cheated out of advancing by the poor officiating (but what's new about that).
I read your first sentence in shaq's voice lol
Uh, Grant was drafted the same year as Pippen…. When Grant left after year 1 of Jordan’s retirement, Pippen was complaining about Krause not giving Grant the money he deserved. The Bulls were struggling without Grant and almost on the verge of not making the playoffs. People always ignore “year 2” of Pippen leading the team..
Pippen was overrated
Best all around player i ever saw play was Pippen
Always good to catch a vid from your channel. Good stuff.
I'm from Detroit and we learned to fear him. Nothing but respect.
to be fair, you dont need nba legends to tell you how ridiculously good pippen was. all you need to do is watch him play. and even today when he explains how to play defense it's amazing all the insights and all the things he considered before even moving.....
Pip played the game smoothly!
He is The Reign Man
He always been my favorite player of all time
In the early days there is no way the bull win the first two championship without Scottie's contributions!!!
Signed Kemp jersey 🔥🔥🔥, he was my favourite player back in the day
I got into watching basketball because of Jordan. I stayed because of Pippen/Jordan.
There's always going to be people who think Scottie was just a ok player who should be grateful he played with Jordan,even his own peers. But anyone that actually paid attention knows Scottie was a superstar and could hold his own with just about anyone in the league at the time.
Scotty was my favorite growing up. The man wasn’t number 2 to Mike, he was 1B
Pippen was a beast out there, when your playing next to the GOAT its easy to get overlooked but MJ at his HOF speech Sai it himself, he couldn't have done it without Scottie.
GUARANTEED BRICKS IN THE CLUTCH
great work sir, great work!!!
It helps to have the best player ever on your team. It helps a lot. But it still takes a team to win games. And it takes a good team, with several good players, to win championships.
Forgetting about Scottie Pippen is a newer thing. In the 90s, when the Bulls were unstoppable, people were talking about MJ, for sure, but they were also talking about Pippen.
