Espn: how to defend the step-back, Scottie demonstrates
Scottie Pippen: You can't
J exactly like what was the point in posting this 4 minute clip that amounts to “actually sorry you cant”
It’s unguardable cause u can’t hand check
lol
@Sean Jones 😂
His original point was to force them to the opposite side, which worked on Harden, there’s a video out there somewhere.
Scottie is a legend, one of the best defenders of all time and the only person on RUclips who makes use of my headphones ability to stretch down to 35Hz.
haahaha lol
hahaha!!!! well put..

Great voice
Paul Pierce = step back three
James Harden = three back steps

Scottie needs to be a voice actor for a documentary.
Brian Yam look up
Dennis Commetti on you tube.
Aussie AFL commentator.
Scotty has a awesome voice!!
Should be on national Geographic!!
O maybe optimus prime?ahahahaha✌️✌️
Have James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman and Scottie Pippen in the same movie and have them as voice actors.

James Harden in the background didn't just make a travel, he did make a journey.
Travel around the globe~

Best segment you guys have done in 2019 ESPN
its a shame they dont do segments like this more often considering they have multiple basketball hall of famers on their payroll.
True
Better than talking shit day by day
@@mvpmvp2980 theres not much time in between kissing lebron's ass.
They’ve made the network so feminine where so many female hosts have these shows where they talk about gossip
@@rell3500 the jump is the worse. I cant believe they let the girl just ramble and ramble
His voice is as legendary as his career.
Remember me of Ted William
Solid content. More technical, intuitive stuff like this is ideal.
Claude Bartman ya you’d think two nba hall of famers could pull it off lmao
This isn't solid advice... He basically took 2 minutes to say he can't really contest, then another 2 minutes to talk about the rules making it even harder to defend.
Now they need to add Tim Legler
This is why it’s important to include nba players in these shows. ESPN is learning
The Incredible Beast That's honesty. It's one of the Top 6 most Difficult Moves to defend. The others are the Sky Hook i.e. Kareem, the Fadeaway i.e. MJ, Kobe, and Dirk, the up and under in the Post i.e. Kevin McHale & Hakeem "the Dream", the Runner i.e. "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, and the Long Range 3 i.e. Steph & KD.
Dam his voice deeper than my life
Max Man this made me lol
😂😂😂
Ahh you're stupid for that... lol
LOL🤣🤣🤣
O man😂😂😂
when Scottie is reading children’s books to his kids, they could feel the bass lol
The only way to stop hardens double step back is to blow the whistle😂😂
lol
Jay Tualetonu it’s a legal step back it’s just different
Diego Acosta theres nothing legal about it
@@zaylujan5268 Hardens step back is just as legal as a hop step in the paint there's little ways around things if you execute it right
Zay Lujan he perfected it where it is legal but whatever
Love how they have James Harden traveling in the background.
Because that’s the only double step back that wasn’t called a travel that exists lol. Ppl act like this happens every day. Nope. Go look at a compilation of Harden double step backs. This is the only one you’ll find. They try to throw in some others, but he dribbles the ball between the 2 step backs. You’re actually allowed to dribble the ball and move backwards without it being a travel lol.
@@JC-li8kk no.....replay 3:44 in slow motion...one bounce followed by 4 steps

Scottie still looking healthy af. Players his age like mj and Barkley just gave up completely on diet.
Phøenix Scottie was a health nut you can tell
Phøenix it is a mistake to use both ø AND "e", because "ø" is equivalent to "oe". So either ø or oe.
Should see reggie and grant hill. They are also still in shape
Well in episode 6 of the last dance, MJ said he cannot be always perfect...😁

"The only way to stop the stepback is to blow the whistle" - Scottie Pippen
Double step-back
Elan Smith bust a Kemba walker stepback when he was in UConn
MartialMan. I think he that about the double step back. When he said ref blow the whistle, what he is saying is, that's a travel. He doesn't want to just come out and say it, but it does give the refs something to think about
Cause it is a travel
He's right even though he is not Nba referee. Those players should learn from Paul Pierce.
Pierce scored 26k with this same body. y’all respect him.
Lol😆, You right!
Damn 😂😂😂
Nah lol he was in much better shape back the. Bruh
That's why he's "THE TRUTH"
People sleep on the 1st half of Pierce's career. He was pretty athletic
I’ve honestly never heard anyone speak like Scottie Pippen. Legendary.
Alfio Basile, check it out. The voice what you get when you smoke 40 cigarettes every day.
He and Gerald Wallace have the deepest voices in the NBA I think
oh boy wait until you hear Technoblade
Mr James Earl Jones
When James Harden steps back, it's almost a back-court violation... LoL
Harden got fouled on this
Yea he's traveling and that needs to be called.
darius fikes no its not a travel
@@zee1645 Yea I know that the double step back wasn't a travel because the ref didn't call it at that exact moment. I pretty sure he would call it in another instance.
😂😂😂😂
Them laughing at harden's double step back is legit the best thing 😂😂
Nah the NBA would change the rules to suit MJ
@CLAGMAN1000 well said
CLAGMAN1000 play style is completely different today they would struggle in this era
@@callumaston1598 how would they struggle? Jordan had a nice step back and apparently defense is not an acquirement to be in the MVP conversation

Living legend SCOTTIE PIPPEN!!
I'm guessing the knicks didn't take Scottie's advice
K G but philly did
Drop 61 on their asses

Harden shot less than 50% I’d call that successful
@@armedtitanium4390 okay look at Kobe's shot percentages when he had his great games

Couldn’t give a fuck
The Bucks listened to Pippen last year and used this strategy against Harden. That just shows the impact of Pippen's knowledge on the basketball community. Preach!
Scottie 's voice makes him look like a wise man who medidates on the court
Man that's true hahah
Well Phil Jackson had that sage
Great defensive master they say only the legendary Man of the Air could score against him
If you can't stop the step back you definitely not stopping the double step back 😂😂
Scottie’s voice... when I’m listening with my beats, feels like my headphone is gonna blow 💥😆 He can be a radio guy if he wants.
Scottie is my favorite player of all time, PLUS, he did a commercial with the music of Thelonius Monk another one of my favorites
Scottie had the same haircut for like 30 years😭
He also barely gained any weight
Had the same hook nose too
So has Jordan lol
@@MedScratch what hair lol

Damn Scotty! Loved watching u as a kid! Miss u and mj! Thanks for the amazing childhood memories bro! Scotty is one dude who refuses to age! Mid 50s? Still in great shape? Great hair, youthful face? Props!
I want to thank Scottie Pippen for helping me calibrate my subwoofer.
My Subwoofer self activated as Scottie opened his mouth

Silly
Do a million more of this kind of video. So awesome to watch HOF players’ analysis!
you could feel the vibrations through the screen.
look at scottie man
and rubio actually stayed with harden on that journey to the three point line.. wow. great defense
i always do that move whenever my gf's mom see us hugging.

@@LaPride247 not if her parents are really strict

LaPride247 chill
1:27 ohhh the legendary double stepback at the screen!
Obyus travelling
They sont count that as traveling is amazing to me 😭🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😒 basketball is officially dead 💀
I’m surprise Paul Pierce didn’t say, “and that’s IF you could guard MY move” or “You’ll need a GREAT defender like Scottie to guard my step back”
I forget Paul Pierce was great because he talks like that guy who talks a big game but can't play.
Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen arguably the best Celtics
P.pierce was the truth
@@Zoodie234 did Larry bird die or something?
@@Zoodie234 Typical kid. Thinks basketball was invented in 2010. None of those 3 are even in the same room as Larry Legend.

"autobots roll out" hahaha 🤣🤣

Scottie Pippen would be the perfect defender for the step back. Cat like reflexes and that wingspan
1:24 this man took 2step backs smh
1:29 they even zoomed in on that bullshit
It was a clear travel but he usually doesnt do it like that. People really try to say that how he always step backs
Harden does too so what
C Dai When was the last time they called a travel on a Harden step back 3??? I’ll wait
If this breeds a new generation of double step backs for the up and coming kids out there and it pollutes into the league, I’ll be done watching it...bc it ain’t basketball no more at that point.
Greatest perimeter defender in league history 👈🏼
Yeah No . Kawhi done took that title
One of the three... MJ, Pip and GP.
MJ and Pip achieved at least 200 steals and 100 blocks in the same season.. Well MJ did it 2x. Consecutively at that while averaging 37.1 ppg and 35ppg respectively...
Mookie blayLOCK too
@@dennisthemenace855 u smoking dope
@@battoday953, if you'd include Mookie then Hakeem, Rodman and Garnett should be there too.
Scottie is one of the point forwards in the old era basketball, he can pass dribble and could also defend, how i wish he played in the modern basketball
more of this and less of gossip
So glad pippen agreed with truth pierce was the only player f'ing ppl up with the step back but he did it when he needed space he couldn't create
Lonzo stepback unguardable
Paul Pierce is a delusional fatass
Pierce made GAME WINNERS using thestep back jumpshot. Put some respect on his name!
Truth literally hit so many clutch step back shots and some from deep literally was his signature move his and i like how both guys use different styles to it Paul used the old school step back and harden really just uses the tiptoe step back where he just goes forward and kinda tip toe backwards quick and efficient where Paul step back was literally hard to guard when he did it all of a sudden respect truth
lonzo ball has a nice step back. hes not a consistent shooter though.
Two Hall of famers showing us how it is done. I really enjoyed this video.
Haha that close up in the screen during harden’s stepback 💀 😂
Scottie just don't age 🤣
I
Cartman Brah! Goat name
Yep, Scottie looks great. He’s kept in shape, looks like he could still play
And he’s still in such great shape!
which makes Michael cry
Some professional players does workouts with some legends in off season, like lebron, kobe and dwight howard that worked out with olajuwon or jaylen brown working out with T-Mac. If I were a NBA player and played as Guard or SF, I would definitely take at least one offseason to pay scottie pippen to do a workout with me focused on defense skill and fundamentals.
Pippen one of the greats.
3:18 if Giannis improved on defense he could definitely guard the step back! he has the reach!
GunsGiftsGalleries depends on who he’s guarding, the step back will be forever be hard to guard, giannis is 6’11 but his center of gravity is higher so for him to guard let’s say harden, he’ll effortlessly be able to sauce him up, then hit the step back, which harden has done, multiple times, harden is impossible to guard mainly because he’s mastering the step back
KND Clan well his step back is pretty much a cheat code, so I wouldn’t say he has mastered it but he knows what he doing.
Katerina Papaspiropoulos I never said he mastered it, mastering, and mastered aren’t the same shit numb nuts
Yeah he’s one of the few with the length, but he’d have to be disciplined to stay with a shifty guy like Harden. Plus he has so many lethal counters, he’s nearly impossible to shut down
NordsideHero harden is the hardest person to guard since shaq, the best person to guard him would be kawhi or zo, I would say PG13 but he’s too tall, his center of gravity would hinder him
In my opinion Scottie Pippen is the greatest all around defender to ever play the game.
Pippen would lock down Harden💯💯
leGoat is the best player ever of all timer. Nah he foul the shit out of him
leGoat is the best player ever of all timer. Depends on the era
Lies! He need to sit his ass down dame I'm tired of him in ESPN hating in Paul pierce delusional!!!!
Duh he's arguably one of the best two-way players of all time but people like to dumb down his accomplishments and skill level to make Jordan look better than he actually was
SoDedicated6 nobody talking about Jordan 😂
Two highly underrated legends bringing the good content
Look at Scottie man, so inspirational 👏🏾👏🏾
If I had to pick one person to stop Harden's step back from any era...KG in his prime. His length, lateral speed, and defensive instincts.
He wouldn't be able to stop Harden driving to the basket tho
I would say Giannis, but I haven’t seen him defend enough perimeter players to know if he’s fast or agile enough to stay with them.
KG in his prime. With the same rules of KG's timeframe. Be physical and deny Harden breathing room. Ole school D.
What era thou ?
Scottie was special man people don't understand how good he was just because he played with MJ💯 he is part of the 50 greatest players of all time for a reason💪🏻
Love Scottie's defensive insights.
Another nba Hall of Famer, once again stating that today's nba defense is soft, and with players not being allowed to be physical, nba players offensive stats are terribly inflated.
dark eclipse str8 up!
For real
You are right, but wait until a modern fan answers to you that modern day defenses are better than 10 years ago.
@@82panther coz it is
It's a FACT that defense back then was allowed to be more physical, but that doesn't necessarily mean players were easier to stop than now, or that today's players are far worse defenders than back then. Many people use that for some downright ridiculous statements (Jordan could score 50 a game without hand checking easily). There is a lot less 1 v 1 defense in today's NBA and a lot more team defense, and since ISO heavy players are pretty rare, their skill set becomes far more recognizable.
3:38 Harden's game is to be studied by scientists to learn how he's able to effortlessly transition from the position of a basketball guard to football running back.
not running back, but more like a stepping back 😂😂😂
Scottie like Jordan has huge hands with long fingers and combine that with long arms with his experience and talent, he was a defensive monster.
Alternative title: Scottie and Paul explain why harden wouldn’t be a prolific scorer in their era
Lol Paul peirce is trolling had me cracking up
All Basketball documentary should be done by Scottie Pippen. His voice is amazing for it.
Scottie pippen & The Truth Speaking Facts.🔥🏀
Scottie’s voice and that homeless man golden voice are the same! Lol
Well you've never seen them in the same room
I agree
Great voice scotty..
James Harden flat out travels on his step back, but officials refuse to call it. That's one of the benefits of being a superstar. You get to break the rules !
Incorrect
Kamrin Murphy explain
@@AzulACR steps don't count until the ball is gathered. this occurs when either:
a) one hand is underneath the ball (cannot continue dribbling or it'll be a carry)
b) both hands are in contact with the ball (cannot continue dribbling or it'll be a double dribble)
not saying he's never traveled before, but about 95% of the time harden does a step back, for the first outward step that most people count as a step, he only has one hand on the ball, on top of it or on the side. it doesn't count as a step, because at that point he could fake the step back and continue his dribble (the ball isn't gathered). AFTER he takes the first outward step, he brings his other hand onto the ball, and takes his 1-2 as he lands from the backward jump, and goes up into the shot. not a travel. look at it in slow-mo if you want
@@kamrinmurphy6052 now, I'm not good at basketball, nor do I know the rules too well, but isnt it 3 steps he taking after holding the ball with both hands? And yes i watched it in slowmo
@@solarblast5959 no. watch closer. not the one in this vid, the one in this vid is a travel.
Man scottie's voice is so fascinating
pippen be saying deep things, so inspirational man
Scottie helluva legend!
He have to coach kids
1:26 at the screen behind thats travelling😂
This is best example of new basketball. They will soon change rules that they will be able to do 5 steps after catch as like Harden and loads of other players do and referee are not call travel...
That counted as a foul on rubio and 3 free throws for harden. I'm not kidding
Alberto you kidding mate now... what happen with NBA...
@@KoziStudioUK That was in a close gane in the 4th quarter. Harden got 47 points that game. No one in the Jazz complained, I guess everyone has just accepted this as the new normal
Travels..... wakakaka
Pippen would be a great singer
Is scottie decepticon? Men, that voice is so deep!.
Scottie Pipen makes me realize that my dads voice is not deep
Scottie pippens voice so deep it shatters windows
I love Pippen Rodman and MJ, they are so 😎 cool
Paul Pierce loves to give himself a lot of credit!
He should. Why not? He was a beast.
who tf asked you
@@lemroyaljames8758 fr dude avg 20+ in the hardest era ever
According to many sources Pippen has a 7’3 wingspan an Leonard has a 7’3 wingspan, so it’s the same.
Harden's move at the end of the video is 100% a travel.
@Show Genius What do you mean "duh"? The refs didn't call it and these travels are never reviewed or addressed. Hardly seems like a "duh" moment to me.
@Show Genius nah they shouldn t be fined harden corrupted them. He took their phones so that they can earns some sweet swag bucks
that's not a travel that's a journey
it's just a journey.
@1misanthropist 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏 dude made my journey
"The only way you're gonna stop that move is if the official blows the whistle."
😂😂😂
great vid - and for the record, both Pippen and Kawhi have a 7'3 wingspan
Scottie on James hardens ‘stepback’ “Only way your gonna stop that move is the official blowing the whistle”😂😂
Scottie looks 10 years younger than pierce lol
It's because pierce used to smoke a lot
Scottie Pippen, what a voice, he could work on radio
Paul looking doughy here. Scottie still looking like he can still compete
He looked like that in his last years in the lwague tho
Emjay Mendez hes always been doughy
"The only way to stop that move is when the official blows the whistle" . Wisely said.
Are u me from the future?
Yes. Your grandchildren say hello.
My favorite player of all time: Scottie Pippen
I love the video of Harden TRAVELING playing in the back....LMAO!!!! He took FOUR STEPS on Rubio...
Pippen Would Lock On Anyone In This Era and Make Them Cry!
nah he wouldn't he'd get a foul and sit on a bench..
Definition of clamps
Nah he’d foul out
David Chavez He would get fouled out the game.
I love the analysis and the joke about the double stepback travel.
2:25 to 2:45 ...the reason hardens 30/40pt games don't measure up to jordans 30/40 against the jazz when dirty Malone was in the paint, or kobes 30/40 when dirty Garnett and dirty rondo and dirty Perkins was in the paint. He literally goes untouched to the hole and if he gets touched?? Automatic free throws 😭
@@hyperspinz lmao
1:22 video in the background looks like a CLEAR travel!
That's because it is a clear travel. Refs have been told to allow it even though it violates the rules of basketball.
Paul Le Fevre I don’t think so. This was just a missed call. The typical step back, yes. But not this. We rarely see a double step back.
Scottie : the only move to stop the double step back is the ref to blow a whistle 😂😂😂
Scottie needs to use his voice on some
Pixar’s characters 🔥
Legend says harden still traveling in the background...
Pippen is one of the most humble legends in NBA you will ever see. That’s why he was so successful.
I seriously felt I was a lil kid sitting on Scotties lap as he tells me how to defend little Timmy from the blocks step back threes
