40 Minutes of Scottie Pippen Stories told by NBA Legends

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

Great work, but the continued overrating of Pippen is sickening. Pippen is adequately appreciated and rated.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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 😎

Scottie was the perfect #2 player! He was part of the 2nd Best Dynasty in NBA history! Grateful for the memories!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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😢

Pip had game despite what haters say

Defensive juggernaut!! Shouldve won at least 1 DPOY!!💯💯

I like when Sheed says "Bonerfied". Hilarious.

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!!! 😂❤

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 🌺 🫡

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!!

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!

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.

Great video. Pippen was my favorite

Isiah said scottie is one of best defenders oat, and isiah openly hates pipp, thats how good he was

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.

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.

Finally, Pip gets the credit he rightly deserves.

Bulls forever from the land of OZ😂

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.

Thank You, Sean..for another great vid! And since you asked..

..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!

Everything Pippen said was facts.

Best player on NBA Jam too

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.

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

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.

Focusing on basketball means you ae a loser.

Great episode maaaan

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

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.

I miss 90's NBA SO DAMN MUCH!!!

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

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

I used to say when I was a kid when I shot at the hoop was "PIPPEN"!!!!!

Scottie is the best defender i've ever seen, and i've seen most of them (post merger). i will die on that hill...

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...

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.

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.

Whitout a doubt SCOTTIE PIPPEN is one of the best players who has ever played this sport.
