What a gift to Pippen fans and all Bulls fans of that era! I was at their home opener against the Sixers in '87. Two buddies and I walked up without tickets and got 3 of the last available seats. We got to our seats as they were introducing the starters. The old Chicago Stadium had lower-level seats, the back rows were up and under and had obstructed views. One of the seats was a little bit behind a beam. I could see that he was going to be a star after he drove the lane and slammed the ball with an and 1, and his gaze after the slam was then what it always was. He just belongs. It's the confident calm expressionless gaze he had after great plays. It's the intangible energy he had. We all marveled at how well he did as the top dog. Such a gentle giant superstar too. Great job highlighting the good cop/bad cop interplay with MJ and Pip with the other players. I would add that for a superstar with so many talents and accolades, he also seemed humble about his success. Scottie is beloved by Chicago Bulls fans. Thank you so much. One last thing, he is the first basketball player I followed, who I felt got better every year for about 8 years. He was one of the hardest-working players I've seen in any sport.
PIP WON 1991 FINALS BY HIMSELF AFTER GAME 1 IT WAS OBVIOUS MJ HAVE PROBLEM WITH BIGGER PLAYERS WHOS MORE LBS THAN HIM PIP LOCKED MAGIC IN 70% SITUATION
Scottie deserves his flowers. To here mj talk like that. It should have been enough for scottie to be grateful. Only thing scottie was missing was the big pay day but there's a reason he's a top 50 player of all time.
Scottie "Icarus" Pippen. The only man alive that can say without a shadow of a doubt that he was in the Jordan Standard. I still have in my mind the moments he played with his back busted and you can see its the kind of injury thats so deep it takes the strength from your legs and he kept going for rebounds against 240 pounds men, thats heroic, those sacrifices should never be forgotten.
This was really great Scotty. Scotty on Scotty 😆 😉. Thanks for putting it all together. I honestly think the one attribute where Scottie is and was underrated is his cardio or endurance. Anyone that’s ever played REAL LOCKDOWN BASKETBALL DEFENSE knows that it is 3x more exhausting than anything you’re doing on offense and Scottie just DID NOT GET TIRED. Those highlights of him picking up Magic full court in 91 Finals IN THE FIRST QUARTER are great examples. A lot of the athletes today may be a little bigger, faster, stronger but I think those gray beards had another level of endurance in their primes.
Living in proximity to Chicago during their prime was interesting. Scottie took lots of heat from sports radio. Us Bulls fans will alwasy love Pip, he was the glue!!
Greg anthony says it right, when Scottie picked you up on that full court defense it was devastating. And he had the energy to do so for days. I think thats what made the bulls so hard to play against, i remember he and Jordan would just hound backcourts, it was hard for me to watch as a Laker fan, they were lethal. Even Magic couldnt bring the ball upcourt. They could just start doing that at any time and had the energy to do so, even late in the game. Never seen anything like that since.
I've been going through the bulls games lately from the 90s. You can never skip through the ball going up court on the bulls cuz they might get a steal
On the court, I absolutely loved Pippen. He was the most complete player in the game at the time. Hardcore on D. Solid distribution. Scored at will. Just an absolute gem. Off the court, his tender Ego has tarnished his reputation. MJ might have won some chip’s without him. But with him they were Batman and Robin on two 3-peat teams that go down in history. He could have saddled up next to MJ and said “we” did it. I wish he had. Let their run, their era stand as it was.
..my fave Pippen observation was how crafty he was as rebounder on the block when a teammate was at the FT line. On the right side of the key - as one is facing the basket - with his right forearm, Pippen would chop down n hold the opponents post rebounder's left leg (as the post rebounder always moves his left leg into the key to block out the opponent) and prevented the post player from getting his base and position set to get the rebound advantage. Then, this allowed Pippen to get inside the key position for a potential rebound. Is that a foul? Maybe. But the ref can't see that. Pippen had a counter move too. He used those moves judiciously to mask predictability. Just brilliant! I practiced and used that technique - it works!
I was 10 years old in 1987 in Chicago Bulls drafted Scottie & I grew up watching him turn into defensive master that a run run shaw movie would have made 😎
The NBA media Disrespected Scottie Pippen. MJ never Disrespected Scottie Pippen, MJ always said there MJ without Scottie Pippen now that Love and Respect because MJ played 4 years alone before Bulls traded for Pippen in the drafted in 88. NBA Media and new era NBA players Disrespected Scottie Pippen because Scottie Pippen number 1 SF hands down
HE IS NOT ROLE HE IS KEADER U REALIZE HE CONTROLED PACE TEMPO AND DISTRIBUTION OF BALL 8 TIMES OUT OF 10. RON HARPER WAS SG MOST OF HIS CAREER SO THAT PG STARTING MATCHUP U SEE HARP AS POINT GUARD BUT AFTER FEW MINUTES PIPPEN START TO PLAYMAKE AND CONTROL WHOLE GAME. KERR SAID BEST HE ALWAYS LOOK FOR ME SO I SCORED MORE
I was in my 30s then the Bulls made all those championships. Even if Michael was out, Scotty ALWAYS just stepped right in. Scotty was one of those all around players who was a Hall of Famer for sure. You can not think of those 6 Championships OR Michael Jordan, without mentioning Scottie Pippen. Jordan should thank his lucky stars he was surrounded by that team of just all-time greats.
I'm so sad about the last few years of BS, but NEVER, NEVER forget that Scottie was a lynchpin, that he was the person who in all 6 years was Michael's peer. He was not Robin to Batman, he was Batman to Superman and consider for a moment who Batman is in that universe. Jordan was a great defender, but he was a profoundly opportunistic defender. Pippen SHUT PEOPLE DOWN.
the 60s Celtics dynasty is overrated. only 8 teams and 2 rounds of 7 game playoffs for the top seeds. a lot easier to get to the Finals every year (or almost every year like the 60s Lakers) especially when you have 4 other HOFers next to you, going against white "plumbers" on the other teams and getting the best record in the western conference (and homecourt advantage for the entire "playoffs" too), until you finally meet Jerry West and Elgin in the 2nd round (the Finals). the Bulls dynasty is the real greatest dynasty in basketball...
@@kerry-j4m I'd have to say Russell's Celtics! 11 in 13 seasons with 8 in a row! Granted there were fewer teams & the NBA was just getting started! Maybe if Michael hadn't retired after the '93 season and management kept them in tact until someone beat them in the NBA Finals? It didn't happen like that though!
MJ is a super player and Scottie is a super team player. As a Bulls’ fans in 90s, I witnessed how Scottie raised the levels of the teammates. Not only MJ, Scottie complimented all other teammates on the court, both offensively and defensively. Bulls could not have those successes without any of the duo.
This is a great video. SD you are a pro in your own right. There is no knowledgeable basketball fan from the 90’s who could realistically say Pip is not one of the greats. The personal stuff. Well I was never at any of the Bulls practices. I was never in the locker room with the team. I never even sat with the Bulls during games. I don’t know Scotty Pipen. I never even met him. So that personal stuff, I’m not qualified to make any judgments. I do know one thing. Without Scotty Pipen, Micheal Jordon and the Bulls team would have never made the achievements that they did. Thanks again for the most excellent video Sean David. Keep them coming brother.
But I like tons and tons of other fans just don’t get how Scottie could take shots and hate on Michael. Makes absolutely no sense. Mike has always praised Scottie.
Scottie Pippen is the Greatest SF in NBA History by far so unappreciated by the New NBA Media. Sad part Goat said Pippen is the greatest SF hands down so how do they put LeBron over Scottie Pippen? How do you even speak blasphemy saying LeBron is better than Pippen TF. You have to realize MJ Built Pippen into a dawg he Mentor Pippen from 88 until 99 they made each other better
MJ saying he needed Pippen is MJ being the humble GOAT. The truth is MJ could’ve accomplished what he did with other players..if MJ was a ring hunter just imagine how many rings he could have.
If MJ could’ve done it with other players he would’ve done it with other players. MJ WAS a ring hunter. You commenting this shows you don’t really know basketball, which is no surprise since you are a fan as many are, other PLAYERS can comment on this and DO. They always mention Scottie was even more skilled than MJ. MJ might be the goat, but he is not humble, and no, he could not have won those championships without Scottie.
Isaiah was disrespectful making that song and dance after already giving Pip his flowers. No integrity. Pip was one of the best players on the dream team and the reason Isaiah wasn't part of it was his own fault. He was the ring leader of a filthy team. Team chemistry was important with those egos. His talent was great but his presence was not desired.
People scoff at me when I say he would be able to shut down LeBron, but I really believe it. He was a fantastic defender and stronger mentally than LeBron.
People who scoff at you for saying that don't know basketball. Scottie Pippen would have been a problem for LeBron James. And I'm not trying to take anything away from James, he's an all-time great. But Pippin was a monster on defense. It's a travesty he never won DPOY
Because of Krause and Reinsdorfe and that lingering situation in MY OPINION Phil Jackson still should’ve gave Pippin his due & respect REGARDLESS yes Toni was a great 3pt shooter and at this point in time so was pippin! It was Obviously that important to Pippin and that’s how he felt at that time put yourself in Pippin’s shoes he was just trying to get paid. Yah he could have done things differently but that’s how it went down.
Pip was such a fantastic athlete. Nobody watching back then thought scottie wasn't a huge piece in that team. Scottie's moment came when he stuffed two buzzard beaters under the board
Always remembered the year after #23 FIRST retired, that year Hakeem was on a mission in the West and everyone was dying to see how the East was going to shake out. Personally I had been I been convinced the last few years THE Top 3 players in the league in order were: Micheal Jordan Hakeem Olajuwan Scottie Pippen That year without Black Cat Scottie set out to prove me right. He flat out BALLED that year, winning the All-Star game MVP and bringing the Bulls nearly all the way without Jordan. Dream proved to be the best player left in the NBA that year but Scottie was RIGHT there too.
Loving Scottie all the way from Poland! 🇵🇱 Grew up with NBA basketball and honestly I attest that Scottie was as good as Michael, just not at being superstar, he was a better defender, better assistant, better team player then Michael Jordan. He complemented Jordan perfectly at everything. Well done you Scottie! You rassskalll!!! 😂❤ 👑👑👑👑👑👑
As usual another great video of Scottie Pippen separating the player from his personal life. A lot of the disrespect of Pippen nowadays stems from his off court headlines then his actual game
Signature moment MJ in foul trouble vs Lakers, Pippen leads Bulls to a lead. Signature moment MJ in foul trouble vs Blazers, Pippen leads Bulls back to a lead. Jordan retires, Pippen has a great all time season is best player on his team and Phil Jax wants to give ball someone else, if it's MJ doing samething Pippen did and MJ used to tell coaches no, give me the ball and get it. People say Pippen is selfish, really - if my great player doesn't want the ball something is wrong. Bulls Vs Wizards , Pippen dunks ball hurts his back and saves the dynasty. Pip locking up Mark Jax, primary defender on Magic, Penny, Grant Hill, Drexler, .Jordan used to tell Kukoc I need you take a charge, how many charges MJ took? Pip is the one with bad back from taking charges on people like Malone throughout his career, how many charges in finals Pip had on Malone. I learned basketball from Pip, Rodman and Russell- MJ on Wizards was same MJ winning 3peat on Bulls but he never made playoffs without Pippen. If the Blazers didn't start shooting bad shots in game 7 vs Lakers history is different because Pip did his job in that series on Kobe, he posted him up and made him work every game. In my opinion that was passing of torch Kobe exploding in that game and beating Pippen and Blazers took up a notch, you see Kobe grabbing a rebound off Derek Fisher miss and putting it back in vs Spurs. Pippen was detailed, Dobermans- transition points is championship basketball, easy buckets off defense, Pippen pushing ball driving for dunk, pushing to 3pt line or lobbing to MJ on break is the highlights of modern game but these kids don't have substance from being battle tested through Pistons, Celtics, 90$ Knicks, Utah Jazz. I don't believe in GOAT, in my eyes Pip- Jordan, Phil and Tex, team game. Russel Cousy Red Auerbach, Bird-Mchale. Dream and Rud T. Pip was ultimate maintenance man, MJ was the performer - Pip allowed Jordan to rest on defense and be great closer. If you saying MJ is the Goat in what series did MJ have a battle ever play like a Shaq vs Dream, Wilt vs Russell, Wilt vs Kareem - even when Jordan was match Drexler , Pippen was main guy dealing with him, Drexler got tag teamed in finals. People need to watch games, Pacers vs Bulls went long because Larry Bird had Jslen Rose posting MJ up and not hiding and resting on defense. You see MJ tired grabbing his shorts, because he has play both ends, you can't shoot jumpers if you playing both ends, that's why modern game is trash, these guys don't play on both ends, Kawhi Leonard defense is more of impressive than Curry shooting from half court because rules favor offense and when this guy was healthy, his defense was impactful on winning like Pippen.
when mj left. I think, if memory holds, scottie was widely considered the best player alive. He happened to play with #1 best. That's why teams are great
The most COMPLETE player and that year he did everything and led the Bulls in EVERY majort statistical category and was the top 1-3 players who deserved the MVP that year!
19:09 not shown - 92 ECF, Laimbeer and Rodman had just clobbered Pippen, Laimbeer smacked him hard, Rodman shoved him to the ground after the play. Pippen gets up, calmly shoots free throws.
Correction: 2nd clip was Bonzi Wells on Rasheed Wallace's pod (Sheed & Tyler). Bonz also played alongside Pip on that Blazers team and says elsewhere in the interview that he patterned his own game growing up more after Pippen than MJ.
Ok here’s what I BELIEVE. Scottie was a GREAT player. But if he had gone to a nothing team where he was the sole good player. Scottie would have become a good player not an all time great. I’d say the same thing about James Worthy.
People who discredit Pip like to say he never won a championship without MJ. But actually in 96 Pip not only won a gold medal without MJ, but actually was the leader of that team as evidenced by him winning the international player award in the Olympics.
Boricua Hispanic India n black iam.. thank for making that video of scottie pippen, but is true , I saw Pippen many time in the 90. The problem was the director, I not again jordan , i like jordan, but jordan make mistakes to n the director don't put that. Went to play baseball n he might won 8 championship this my point. But scottie have problem with the family , went one of the family members was sick pippen did went to play baseball, Pippen was the most versatile player n I like pippen like kobe say Pippen was a genius n he deserves the credit, they have to make a statue of pippen like karl Malone n john Stockton jordan is there but pippen have to be there to next to jordan n make some respect because he won 6 championship to . Pippen in Barcelona stop 5 players n in the 90 he stop magic n he stop tony kukoc to , pippen n Rodman n jordan was the dream team. The director is the problem to put negative things, try to put pippen like he was a weeping player. Pippen have all the skills of each player of the nba larry bird 3point shot pippen do that n play like Rodman rebound play like jordan dunk, stealing the ball like john Stockton pippen was the force in the nba.
The only person who under appreciates Scottie Pippen is Scottie Pippen. Jordan has always gave kudos to Pippen. Anyone who REALLY knows basketball knows what an icon and legend Scottie Pippen is to that bulls team and without him Jordan doesn't have 6. Pippen needed Jordan as much as Jordan needed Pippen. Mike gets the spotlight Scottie. Sorry that's how it is. MJ was the superstar. You're Robin and he's Batman. Doesn't mean you were less important.
People need to stop acting like bulls only won because of Pippen. It's the bulls whole team and the triangle. H Grant was there for the 1st 3 peat. Rodman for the 2nd 3 peat.
People always talking about the fact that MJ would have never won rings without Scottie, but they forget to mention that MJ made Scottie a better player. Scottie wanted to prove to MJ every game that he was an Elite player. MJ kept him focused that way. They both benefited from each other. For me, Scottie more, because he would never have reached the levels he did without MJ. MJ on the other hand would have won a ring or two without him.
The real question that should be asked/answered would be to Phil Jackson……why in hell did not give Pippin the ball in that game ? Regardless of the fact that Kukoc made the shot it should’ve been given to Pippin he was their leader and best player!! After all that Pippin went through with his contract and how that situation was handled Phil goes and does that to Pippin! Just imagine of Pippin got the ball and made the shot Pippin would have a moment in his hall of fame career where he could hang his hat on to say he made game winning shot without the help of Mj !! Phil fucked that up for Pippin!
Bulls fan here, native Chicagoan who knows who Dave Corzine is. Pippen could shoot threes but I wouldn’t call him a three point shooter. That was Kukoc’s game. A lot of that was contract beef. That Krause had chased Kukoc instead of throwing money at Pippen. For the game situation, Phil made the right call. The fact that Pippen had to apologize to all of his teammates, instead of them making Phil apologize to Scottie, that kinda backs up the “Phil did the right thing”.
The fact that Phil, Scottie, and Kucoc had that bad situation, and they ALL were NOT on the same galaxy much less the SAME PAGE at that time, even after the game, shows WHO was primarily at fault in the hierarchy and leadership! The Coach should have had an ongoing plan for his new star #1 player 1 on 1 in private confidence and communicate, verify setup plans, and debrief with Scottie before that start to the season, games, timeouts, playoffs, etc. Pippen had EARNED and deserved that respect and honesty upfront. Phil still treated Scottie like his #2 guy (maybe out of habit idk), and that playcall was a disrespectful moment by the Coach (an Krause ownership low contract pay to Pip vs kukoc etc). Coach is mostly responsible and Pippen deserved an apology. Pip did wrong with bad sportsmanship publicly by sitting out the play tho tbf.
Pippen was a great player, and Jordan didn't show him in true light he should have. There must be multiple behind the scenes things that happened for him to have come out the way he has against Jordan. We'll never know what has really caused either of them to disconnect, and maybe it's better we don't know, it must have been very personal. I think from off court exploits it's easy to see who caused the rift. Leave competition to sports and out everyday life.
U can't say bulls don't win series if Phil didn't put Pippen on magic! It would be more challenging but we don't know! Mj still guarded magic and the series only went 5 games.
Love Scottie, lifetime bulls fan, but he sure knew how to drop the ball at the worst times. Cramps, migraines, bad backs, "Loss of vision", not getting surgery purposely so he missed half a season that was critical. Jordan and the bulls needed him, YES... but did Jordan ever do shit like him?
My personal GOAT would not be standing around watching someone else getting the Finals MVP for shutting them down. Or have that happen Twice. Or have one of those two be an old Andre Iguodala, who gave away 3 inches and 35 pounds.
they needed each other, in a weaker 90’s era big 2 is enough to win, and when they had rodman they were head and shoulders above the competition, it got was easier on the next 3 chips, all was cakewalk though, no competition in 6 rings!
@@mj23goat3 casual old heads confused with physicality as a tough competition, it was a watered down era dude, watched it im just not any other old heads that is stuck in the past, appreciate there greatness but it’s just facts!
@@marksines1246 Did you see MJ play live? I did. I've been watching basketball and knowin' it inside out since 1978. Now go practice your 3-pters, newbie.
@@marksines1246 Newbie, what are you still doing here? I thought I told you to go practice your 3-pters. My point about watching it live was in reference to my allegedly being a "casual". Most casuals don't go out of their way to attend a _live_ NBA game.
If I remember correctly....the NBA is made up of teams. Not just individuals. There is not one player ever they can do it all and win alone. It's a team sport. Scotty was a great player. But no one was or is as good as MJ was.
They always like MJ never won chips with out pippen ... 100 no doubt about it...he was needed but MJ before pippen was the best player in the league...scotty without MJ is probably just an okay player and would not have developed as fast as he did nor to the level he did but MJ would still be the best player in the league without him maybe no chips or just 1 or 2 but that is what we all have to remeber and the one thing i alwasy say is MJ gives pippen the credit and MJ produced the last dance for one and 2nd he was the ctalyst for those chps so he should have been talked about more...Piippen lost a ton of fans respect because he doesnt handle certain critiques and criticisms as he should! I never understand why being in the top 20 ever or top 30 ever or even 50 is not enough! There can only be one MJ one Goat one best of all time and only so many that can be considred the greeats of the league all time and to be considred one of those should be neough! MJ is a player beyond comparison !
This is BS to say Jordan calling himself the best or above anybody.. Jordan has never ever said that about himself... Nobody watched his interviews??? He told every interview that he did that he couldn't have done it without the team... Never called himself the greatest, he acknowledged his teammates...
There's better shooter's at SF but none are the all around player scottie was. If you're picking your top 5 team only moving kobe to SF would knock pip out of best 5 team.
Having Kobe is kind of redundant when you already have MJ. Kobe wouldn't have been able to shut down Magic either. he's not playing point guard as well...
Ok , he a was great player but calm down not so great as you seem to claim. He had opportunities to win without MJ and guess what, he didn’t. He was not able to be the leader of a team to get a championship.
Thanku for this video and not being bias against players for whatever they have going on off the court 👏 thanku for always giving players their player props and flowers 🌺 🫡
The GM and marketing of the 1st. Dream Team develop a marketing for denounce and diminish Scottie Pippen careers. Beside win 1994 ALL STAR AND BE IN FINAL ON EAST AND WEST latter on his career without Jordan. Now we have seen the same players talking a little positive. Those days the media was basically the TV and sport channel. Today's date media it's different and Scottie doing the same thing on todays date will provide a different perspective of Scottie. Thank God Michael Jordan got Scottie Pippen. Why Happened all this??? Really I don't know. Probably to be introvert!

Defensive juggernaut!! Shouldve won at least 1 DPOY!!💯💯
was a true travesty that Scottie doesn't have multiple DPOYs unlike the whining from LeBron about never winning it...
I was extremely grateful, fortunate to have watched Scottie and Mike growing up. Lived in NY, loved the bulls… big conflict of interest…😂😂..
Amen. Loved Jordan but also a Knicks fan. Conflicted!!
Absolutely. What a time for basketball. So much magic to that era and the style of presentation even.
That 94 series was straight gold bulls vs knicks starks and pip
I'm from New York but never was a fan of the Knicks
So many great series vs those teams
On the court, I absolutely loved Pippen. He was the most complete player in the game at the time. Hardcore on D. Solid distribution. Scored at will. Just an absolute gem.
Off the court, his tender Ego has tarnished his reputation. MJ might have won some chip’s without him. But with him they were Batman and Robin on two 3-peat teams that go down in history. He could have saddled up next to MJ and said “we” did it. I wish he had. Let their run, their era stand as it was.
I absolutely love this channel and I'm very grateful for all the time and hard work that you put into these amazing videos.
Best player on NBA Jam too
..my fave Pippen observation was how crafty he was as rebounder on the block when a teammate was at the FT line. On the right side of the key - as one is facing the basket - with his right forearm, Pippen would chop down n hold the opponents post rebounder's left leg (as the post rebounder always moves his left leg into the key to block out the opponent) and prevented the post player from getting his base and position set to get the rebound advantage. Then, this allowed Pippen to get inside the key position for a potential rebound. Is that a foul? Maybe. But the ref can't see that. Pippen had a counter move too. He used those moves judiciously to mask predictability. Just brilliant! I practiced and used that technique - it works!
This is probably the best Pippen video I’ve seen on RUclips or elsewhere. Keeping making the Basketball Time Machine the best NBA channel.
I was 10 years old in 1987 in Chicago Bulls drafted Scottie & I grew up watching him turn into defensive master that a run run shaw movie would have made 😎
Pip had game despite what haters say
Scottie is the best defender i've ever seen, and i've seen most of them (post merger). i will die on that hill...

Great video, I had always been a huge fan of Pippen. Jordan would not have won those championships without Pip: I have been saying that for years.
Great compilation!
I'm so sad about the last few years of BS, but NEVER, NEVER forget that Scottie was a lynchpin, that he was the person who in all 6 years was Michael's peer. He was not Robin to Batman, he was Batman to Superman and consider for a moment who Batman is in that universe. Jordan was a great defender, but he was a profoundly opportunistic defender. Pippen SHUT PEOPLE DOWN.
Finally, Pip gets the credit he rightly deserves.
Scottie was the perfect #2 player! He was part of the 2nd Best Dynasty in NBA history! Grateful for the memories!
the 60s Celtics dynasty is overrated. only 8 teams and 2 rounds of 7 game playoffs for the top seeds. a lot easier to get to the Finals every year (or almost every year like the 60s Lakers) especially when you have 4 other HOFers next to you, going against white "plumbers" on the other teams and getting the best record in the western conference (and homecourt advantage for the entire "playoffs" too), until you finally meet Jerry West and Elgin in the 2nd round (the Finals). the Bulls dynasty is the real greatest dynasty in basketball...
Who was the best dynasty in nba history ????
@@kerry-j4m I'd have to say Russell's Celtics! 11 in 13 seasons with 8 in a row! Granted there were fewer teams & the NBA was just getting started! Maybe if Michael hadn't retired after the '93 season and management kept them in tact until someone beat them in the NBA Finals? It didn't happen like that though!
MJ is a super player and Scottie is a super team player. As a Bulls’ fans in 90s, I witnessed how Scottie raised the levels of the teammates. Not only MJ, Scottie complimented all other teammates on the court, both offensively and defensively. Bulls could not have those successes without any of the duo.
PIP IS THE TEAM. U START FRANCHISE WITH HIM OR BIRD
Whitout a doubt SCOTTIE PIPPEN is one of the best players who has ever played this sport.
Pip is a goat in his own right.
This is a great video. SD you are a pro in your own right. There is no knowledgeable basketball fan from the 90’s who could realistically say Pip is not one of the greats. The personal stuff. Well I was never at any of the Bulls practices. I was never in the locker room with the team. I never even sat with the Bulls during games. I don’t know Scotty Pipen. I never even met him. So that personal stuff, I’m not qualified to make any judgments. I do know one thing. Without Scotty Pipen, Micheal Jordon and the Bulls team would have never made the achievements that they did. Thanks again for the most excellent video Sean David. Keep them coming brother.
But I like tons and tons of other fans just don’t get how Scottie could take shots and hate on Michael. Makes absolutely no sense. Mike has always praised Scottie.
Scottie Pippen is the Greatest SF in NBA History by far so unappreciated by the New NBA Media. Sad part Goat said Pippen is the greatest SF hands down so how do they put LeBron over Scottie Pippen? How do you even speak blasphemy saying LeBron is better than Pippen TF. You have to realize MJ Built Pippen into a dawg he Mentor Pippen from 88 until 99 they made each other better
Thanks for this extended video, well deserved extra time for such a special player, I loved his game of basketball, great!
MJ saying he needed Pippen is MJ being the humble GOAT. The truth is MJ could’ve accomplished what he did with other players..if MJ was a ring hunter just imagine how many rings he could have.
If MJ could’ve done it with other players he would’ve done it with other players. MJ WAS a ring hunter. You commenting this shows you don’t really know basketball, which is no surprise since you are a fan as many are, other PLAYERS can comment on this and DO. They always mention Scottie was even more skilled than MJ. MJ might be the goat, but he is not humble, and no, he could not have won those championships without Scottie.
Thank You, Sean..for another great vid! And since you asked..
Isaiah was disrespectful making that song and dance after already giving Pip his flowers. No integrity. Pip was one of the best players on the dream team and the reason Isaiah wasn't part of it was his own fault. He was the ring leader of a filthy team. Team chemistry was important with those egos. His talent was great but his presence was not desired.
Great episode maaaan
People scoff at me when I say he would be able to shut down LeBron, but I really believe it. He was a fantastic defender and stronger mentally than LeBron.
Big F A C T S
People who scoff at you for saying that don't know basketball. Scottie Pippen would have been a problem for LeBron James. And I'm not trying to take anything away from James, he's an all-time great. But Pippin was a monster on defense. It's a travesty he never won DPOY
I wouldn’t scoff at you! I agree with you 100 percent
Because of Krause and Reinsdorfe and that lingering situation in MY OPINION Phil Jackson still should’ve gave Pippin his due & respect REGARDLESS yes Toni was a great 3pt shooter and at this point in time so was pippin! It was Obviously that important to Pippin and that’s how he felt at that time put yourself in Pippin’s shoes he was just trying to get paid. Yah he could have done things differently but that’s how it went down.
Pippin is definitely in a league of his own. One of the greatest players of all time definitely top 5 for me.
He’d be starting on my All-Time Team
@@ChilleBruh we already know you can't have MJ without Pippen...
Pip was such a fantastic athlete. Nobody watching back then thought scottie wasn't a huge piece in that team. Scottie's moment came when he stuffed two buzzard beaters under the board
We watched Chicago for Jordan and Pippin! Not just Jordan it was for both! Come on and admit it!! Later it was all three Jordan,Pippin,and Rodman!!
Always remembered the year after #23 FIRST retired, that year Hakeem was on a mission in the West and everyone was dying to see how the East was going to shake out.
Personally I had been I been convinced the last few years THE Top 3 players in the league in order were:
Micheal Jordan
Hakeem Olajuwan
Scottie Pippen
That year without Black Cat Scottie set out to prove me right. He flat out BALLED that year, winning the All-Star game MVP and bringing the Bulls nearly all the way without Jordan.
Dream proved to be the best player left in the NBA that year but Scottie was RIGHT there too.
Stop it. My guy is over rated
😂
Tell me you didn’t watch ball in the ‘90s without telling me. 🤷♂️
I miss 90's NBA SO DAMN MUCH!!!
Loving Scottie all the way from Poland! 🇵🇱
Grew up with NBA basketball and honestly I attest that Scottie was as good as Michael, just not at being superstar, he was a better defender, better assistant, better team player then Michael Jordan. He complemented Jordan perfectly at everything.
Well done you Scottie!
You rassskalll!!! 😂❤
👑👑👑👑👑👑
As usual another great video of Scottie Pippen separating the player from his personal life. A lot of the disrespect of Pippen nowadays stems from his off court headlines then his actual game
No it wasn't the Jordan gobblers was diminishing especially the media pundits 💭🧩💥
Signature moment MJ in foul trouble vs Lakers, Pippen leads Bulls to a lead. Signature moment MJ in foul trouble vs Blazers, Pippen leads Bulls back to a lead. Jordan retires, Pippen has a great all time season is best player on his team and Phil Jax wants to give ball someone else, if it's MJ doing samething Pippen did and MJ used to tell coaches no, give me the ball and get it. People say Pippen is selfish, really - if my great player doesn't want the ball something is wrong. Bulls Vs Wizards , Pippen dunks ball hurts his back and saves the dynasty. Pip locking up Mark Jax, primary defender on Magic, Penny, Grant Hill, Drexler, .Jordan used to tell Kukoc I need you take a charge, how many charges MJ took? Pip is the one with bad back from taking charges on people like Malone throughout his career, how many charges in finals Pip had on Malone. I learned basketball from Pip, Rodman and Russell- MJ on Wizards was same MJ winning 3peat on Bulls but he never made playoffs without Pippen. If the Blazers didn't start shooting bad shots in game 7 vs Lakers history is different because Pip did his job in that series on Kobe, he posted him up and made him work every game. In my opinion that was passing of torch Kobe exploding in that game and beating Pippen and Blazers took up a notch, you see Kobe grabbing a rebound off Derek Fisher miss and putting it back in vs Spurs. Pippen was detailed, Dobermans- transition points is championship basketball, easy buckets off defense, Pippen pushing ball driving for dunk, pushing to 3pt line or lobbing to MJ on break is the highlights of modern game but these kids don't have substance from being battle tested through Pistons, Celtics, 90$ Knicks, Utah Jazz. I don't believe in GOAT, in my eyes Pip- Jordan, Phil and Tex, team game. Russel Cousy Red Auerbach, Bird-Mchale. Dream and Rud T. Pip was ultimate maintenance man, MJ was the performer - Pip allowed Jordan to rest on defense and be great closer. If you saying MJ is the Goat in what series did MJ have a battle ever play like a Shaq vs Dream, Wilt vs Russell, Wilt vs Kareem - even when Jordan was match Drexler , Pippen was main guy dealing with him, Drexler got tag teamed in finals. People need to watch games, Pacers vs Bulls went long because Larry Bird had Jslen Rose posting MJ up and not hiding and resting on defense. You see MJ tired grabbing his shorts, because he has play both ends, you can't shoot jumpers if you playing both ends, that's why modern game is trash, these guys don't play on both ends, Kawhi Leonard defense is more of impressive than Curry shooting from half court because rules favor offense and when this guy was healthy, his defense was impactful on winning like Pippen.
Well done.
Pip was the man all time great
Isiah said scottie is one of best defenders oat, and isiah openly hates pipp, thats how good he was
he called him the very best actually, and Rodman (Detroit Rodman probably) second...
I really appreciate Scottie as a ball player cause things he did this generation of players can’t do anything
when mj left. I think, if memory holds, scottie was widely considered the best player alive. He happened to play with #1 best. That's why teams are great
He was in the conversation I was there too.
The most COMPLETE player and that year he did everything and led the Bulls in EVERY majort statistical category and was the top 1-3 players who deserved the MVP that year!
19:09 not shown - 92 ECF, Laimbeer and Rodman had just clobbered Pippen, Laimbeer smacked him hard, Rodman shoved him to the ground after the play. Pippen gets up, calmly shoots free throws.
Correction: 2nd clip was Bonzi Wells on Rasheed Wallace's pod (Sheed & Tyler). Bonz also played alongside Pip on that Blazers team and says elsewhere in the interview that he patterned his own game growing up more after Pippen than MJ.
Lebron: 'I needed Dwayne, Chris, Ray, Kevin, Kyrie, Anthony, Dwight, Kyle, Tristan, Mo, Mario, Zydrunas, Udonis, Mike, JR, Matthew, D'angelo, Troy, Dennis, Austin, Russell, Carmelo, Rui, Cam... u know I have handshakes for all of them'
Who tf is Alice 😂
Big time basketball player scottie
Scottie was my favorite player growing up. He got robbed for dpoy so many times.
Ok here’s what I BELIEVE. Scottie was a GREAT player. But if he had gone to a nothing team where he was the sole good player. Scottie would have become a good player not an all time great. I’d say the same thing about James Worthy.
People who discredit Pip like to say he never won a championship without MJ. But actually in 96 Pip not only won a gold medal without MJ, but actually was the leader of that team as evidenced by him winning the international player award in the Olympics.
Boricua Hispanic India n black iam.. thank for making that video of scottie pippen, but is true , I saw Pippen many time in the 90. The problem was the director, I not again jordan , i like jordan, but jordan make mistakes to n the director don't put that. Went to play baseball n he might won 8 championship this my point. But scottie have problem with the family , went one of the family members was sick pippen did went to play baseball, Pippen was the most versatile player n I like pippen like kobe say Pippen was a genius n he deserves the credit, they have to make a statue of pippen like karl Malone n john Stockton jordan is there but pippen have to be there to next to jordan n make some respect because he won 6 championship to . Pippen in Barcelona stop 5 players n in the 90 he stop magic n he stop tony kukoc to , pippen n Rodman n jordan was the dream team. The director is the problem to put negative things, try to put pippen like he was a weeping player. Pippen have all the skills of each player of the nba larry bird 3point shot pippen do that n play like Rodman rebound play like jordan dunk, stealing the ball like john Stockton pippen was the force in the nba.
Everything Pippen said was facts.
Versatilitian 94 ft Pip. Awesome player. Certain intangible things be did that alot time, went separate from him & guys who made score points than him
I like when Sheed says "Bonerfied". Hilarious.
He is still one of my favorite players. I have honestly always respected MJs game but alwayschose Pippen over Jordan
The only person who under appreciates Scottie Pippen is Scottie Pippen. Jordan has always gave kudos to Pippen. Anyone who REALLY knows basketball knows what an icon and legend Scottie Pippen is to that bulls team and without him Jordan doesn't have 6. Pippen needed Jordan as much as Jordan needed Pippen. Mike gets the spotlight Scottie. Sorry that's how it is. MJ was the superstar. You're Robin and he's Batman. Doesn't mean you were less important.
Pippen was always the leader of the Bulls. He was the real GOAT! #imho
People need to stop acting like bulls only won because of Pippen. It's the bulls whole team and the triangle. H Grant was there for the 1st 3 peat. Rodman for the 2nd 3 peat.
Truth
If I could have a few wishes one of them would be for the Bulls to have stayed the same age as 1996 all the way to the present day.
People always talking about the fact that MJ would have never won rings without Scottie, but they forget to mention that MJ made Scottie a better player. Scottie wanted to prove to MJ every game that he was an Elite player. MJ kept him focused that way. They both benefited from each other. For me, Scottie more, because he would never have reached the levels he did without MJ. MJ on the other hand would have won a ring or two without him.
I used to say when I was a kid when I shot at the hoop was "PIPPEN"!!!!!
The real question that should be asked/answered would be to Phil Jackson……why in hell did not give Pippin the ball in that game ? Regardless of the fact that Kukoc made the shot it should’ve been given to Pippin he was their leader and best player!! After all that Pippin went through with his contract and how that situation was handled Phil goes and does that to Pippin! Just imagine of Pippin got the ball and made the shot Pippin would have a moment in his hall of fame career where he could hang his hat on to say he made game winning shot without the help of Mj !! Phil fucked that up for Pippin!
Bulls fan here, native Chicagoan who knows who Dave Corzine is.
Pippen could shoot threes but I wouldn’t call him a three point shooter. That was Kukoc’s game.
A lot of that was contract beef. That Krause had chased Kukoc instead of throwing money at Pippen.
For the game situation, Phil made the right call. The fact that Pippen had to apologize to all of his teammates, instead of them making Phil apologize to Scottie, that kinda backs up the “Phil did the right thing”.
The fact that Phil, Scottie, and Kucoc had that bad situation, and they ALL were NOT on the same galaxy much less the SAME PAGE at that time, even after the game, shows WHO was primarily at fault in the hierarchy and leadership!
The Coach should have had an ongoing plan for his new star #1 player 1 on 1 in private confidence and communicate, verify setup plans, and debrief with Scottie before that start to the season, games, timeouts, playoffs, etc. Pippen had EARNED and deserved that respect and honesty upfront.
Phil still treated Scottie like his #2 guy (maybe out of habit idk), and that playcall was a disrespectful moment by the Coach (an Krause ownership low contract pay to Pip vs kukoc etc).
Coach is mostly responsible and Pippen deserved an apology.
Pip did wrong with bad sportsmanship publicly by sitting out the play tho tbf.
We need like 4 more nba teams, for all the guys who ain’t daddies money or kin folk.
*Some people said jordan was batman and pippen was robin*
Someone ask S Lee what Pippen said to him after the awesome dunk over Ewing? 😂
Look it the real fans then there millenial lestans my generation knows what he is a a great role player who became a superstar tutor by whom the goat😢
Pippen was a great player, and Jordan didn't show him in true light he should have. There must be multiple behind the scenes things that happened for him to have come out the way he has against Jordan. We'll never know what has really caused either of them to disconnect, and maybe it's better we don't know, it must have been very personal. I think from off court exploits it's easy to see who caused the rift. Leave competition to sports and out everyday life.
U can't say bulls don't win series if Phil didn't put Pippen on magic! It would be more challenging but we don't know! Mj still guarded magic and the series only went 5 games.
Love Scottie, lifetime bulls fan, but he sure knew how to drop the ball at the worst times. Cramps, migraines, bad backs, "Loss of vision", not getting surgery purposely so he missed half a season that was critical. Jordan and the bulls needed him, YES... but did Jordan ever do shit like him?
19:38
This is why LeBron is the goat!!! He did it without a constant sidekick. ✊🏾✊🏾
🙄
My personal GOAT would not be standing around watching someone else getting the Finals MVP for shutting them down. Or have that happen Twice. Or have one of those two be an old Andre Iguodala, who gave away 3 inches and 35 pounds.
Pip‼️
Scottie better then Mike 😅
if you put a top starting 5 of all time, of course you put MJ and Pip on it. there were no 2 better at the team game than those 2...
they needed each other, in a weaker 90’s era big 2 is enough to win, and when they had rodman they were head and shoulders above the competition, it got was easier on the next 3 chips, all was cakewalk though, no competition in 6 rings!
12-year old thinks the 90's was weak. ↑
@@mj23goat3 casual old heads confused with physicality as a tough competition, it was a watered down era dude, watched it im just not any other old heads that is stuck in the past, appreciate there greatness but it’s just facts!
@@marksines1246 Did you see MJ play live? I did. I've been watching basketball and knowin' it inside out since 1978. Now go practice your 3-pters, newbie.
@@mj23goat3 LOL you don’t have to watch it live though to know how weak that era was, irrelevant!
@@marksines1246 Newbie, what are you still doing here? I thought I told you to go practice your 3-pters.
My point about watching it live was in reference to my allegedly being a "casual". Most casuals don't go out of their way to attend a _live_ NBA game.
Bulls forever from the land of OZ😂
If I remember correctly....the NBA is made up of teams. Not just individuals. There is not one player ever they can do it all and win alone. It's a team sport. Scotty was a great player. But no one was or is as good as MJ was.
They always like MJ never won chips with out pippen ... 100 no doubt about it...he was needed but MJ before pippen was the best player in the league...scotty without MJ is probably just an okay player and would not have developed as fast as he did nor to the level he did but MJ would still be the best player in the league without him maybe no chips or just 1 or 2 but that is what we all have to remeber and the one thing i alwasy say is MJ gives pippen the credit and MJ produced the last dance for one and 2nd he was the ctalyst for those chps so he should have been talked about more...Piippen lost a ton of fans respect because he doesnt handle certain critiques and criticisms as he should! I never understand why being in the top 20 ever or top 30 ever or even 50 is not enough! There can only be one MJ one Goat one best of all time and only so many that can be considred the greeats of the league all time and to be considred one of those should be neough! MJ is a player beyond comparison !
This is BS to say Jordan calling himself the best or above anybody..
Jordan has never ever said that about himself...
Nobody watched his interviews???
He told every interview that he did that he couldn't have done it without the team...
Never called himself the greatest, he acknowledged his teammates...
There's better shooter's at SF but none are the all around player scottie was. If you're picking your top 5 team only moving kobe to SF would knock pip out of best 5 team.
Having Kobe is kind of redundant when you already have MJ. Kobe wouldn't have been able to shut down Magic either. he's not playing point guard as well...
Great work, but the continued overrating of Pippen is sickening. Pippen is adequately appreciated and rated.
Isaiah wasn’t THAT great of a player to be commenting on Pippen like that, land back to Earth, get over yourself.
Scottie Pippen just took to social media to express his beef with BTM for not giving him enough credit in this video....
Ok , he a was great player but calm down not so great as you seem to claim. He had opportunities to win without MJ and guess what, he didn’t. He was not able to be the leader of a team to get a championship.
Thanku for this video and not being bias against players for whatever they have going on off the court 👏 thanku for always giving players their player props and flowers 🌺 🫡
Can someone please tell the song being played at 08:25
Thank you
The GM and marketing of the 1st. Dream Team develop a marketing for denounce and diminish Scottie Pippen careers. Beside win 1994 ALL STAR AND BE IN FINAL ON EAST AND WEST latter on his career without Jordan. Now we have seen the same players talking a little positive. Those days the media was basically the TV and sport channel. Today's date media it's different and Scottie doing the same thing on todays date will provide a different perspective of Scottie. Thank God Michael Jordan got Scottie Pippen.
Why Happened all this??? Really I don't know. Probably to be introvert!
