Scottie Pippen - Offensive Highlights, 1997 Playoffs 

what's really amazing is that you have ppl that are SO basic, that even w/ MJ HIMSELF making that statement, you STILL have MJ fan boys that swear up & down that Pippen owes EVERYTHING to MJ ... levels of stupid beyond description.

That sad thing is as time has went on and you get more and more folks who didnt see the 90s bulls play you get mor people saying Scottie owes his life to MJ.

Well Mj did a shitty job in the last dance showcasing Scotties amazing games and focused mostly on his mistakes... fucked up

Somehow, MJ is responsible on how Scottie turned out. He honed him to be what he became. I bet he wont be the guy we know now if that draft day trade never happened and he got stuck with the Sonics...

@Coon Pooch How can he hone MJ if MJ is already with the team and an established household name even before Scottie joined the Bulls lmao your logic is retarded....

No. He's very overrated. But he's an all time great.

No one says he’s underrated

Was your mom a crackhead 😂

Only one team and that is the rockets

He was already a top defender. Guarding Jordan in practice just gave him more confidence.

👍👍👍

Agree Pip is my all time favorite player

Exactly men

One to punch they form there champion ship team by drafting player's and getting trading away players.

He was putting up those numbers while Jordan put up high usage rate too.

I'm with karl Malone: I'd take Scottie over micheal. He was unselfish offensively. When your unselfish offensively your #s are not always going to be the same. He was the complete player.

I love Pippen but NO he was not as good or better then anyone offensively. He was a solid, but overall limited scorer.

William Koscielniak limited? Had a good 3, great midrange, great post up, fearless when going to the rim, had a soft touch if needed, great off the glass shot and as good finisher with both hands. What’s limited on there?

@@martinsimek He had a decent 3, an ok midrange, an ok post-up, was a very good slasher as you said, and had a decent bank shot. He was good for 20 points a game on solid efficiency. He was a good scorer, but never close to a great one. He was limited compared to other all time greats. He wasn't close to the score of MJ, or Lebron, or Bird, or Durant, or Kobe, or Malone, or Barkely, or Drexler, or for that matter guys like Dominick, Bernard King, Dwane Wade, etc. not to mention all of the great centers like Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem, Shaq, D-Rob, and on and on. He was a good, solid, decent scorer, in the same way that someone like Paul George is a solid scorer. I watched the man play and I've watched a million highlights and games of his. He was limited as a scorer. He never scored 50 points in a game 1 time in his career and never averaged more than 22 points in a season. His best asset on offense was as a playmaker and facilitator.

He was never underrated. You are a complete fool to use that word.

@@bbmtge You are a complete fool for getting triggered by a 3 year old comment.

HOF coach stifled

He was not drafted by the bulls he was drafted by supersonics traded to the bulls

Chris Hernando I don’t think he “literally” killed himself. That’s not things work lol

@VibeWRLD yes bro, I’m very aware. I’m also aware that the word “literally” would still be misused by dude even when he isn’t ‘joking’. “Literally” is not an exclamation point.

Michael Jordan was a better defender but Pippen just gets more acknowledgement on defense due to Jordan Offense overshadowing his defense.

@@zogood3495 Not really because Pippen was asked to guard the toughest opponents individually as well as guarding everyone on help defense. So I would imagine that took away some energy on the offensive end.

@@hansmransm8835 but that's the thing Pippen wasn't the 1st option on Offense. But Jordan still played elite defense too plus, having to score majority of the Bulls points and in the clutch. Jordan would guard the elite perimeter player's unless they were SF which would be Pippen natural matchup and big men plus Jordan was also great help defender

@@zogood3495 Yeah but I'm not taking anything away from Jordan's defense. I'm just saying Pippen was known strongly for his defense because he could guard guys that Jordan would have a tougher time guarding. Like every position except the center.

@@hansmransm8835 Yea due to size but not because he's better on defense. Jordan would guard faster, quicker player's Pippen would guard bigger, stronger player's

Unbelievable 2 leaders"

@@borjapauloenricoabm9673 I have to disagree on that one my friend. Michael Jordan was a great leader. Scottie Pippen was a great follower.

I wouldn't say he got cheated out, but there were some stiff competition in that department, namely Hakeem and robonson who also carried their teams

The call in game 5 against the KNICKS in 94 was awful. Shouldve won DPOY in 94/95 maybe 95/96

@@pyeuneu I would give pip the slight edge because no one expected the bulls to play as well as they did in 1994.

@@erikhopkins9488 fair enough, I was rooting for pippen too. But when Hakeem won, I was like, yeah he was pretty damn good this year.

@@pyeuneu Hakeem was THAT dude! Man!!!

mmafan2223 lol... ppl need to give Jerry Krause his props

@@cashflodigitalsportsnetwork people did that wasn’t enough for him.

@@cashflodigitalsportsnetwork Krause overrated. Didn't draft Jordan drafted lesser players over Strickland, Majerle, N.Anderson, T.Hardaway, Kemp, R.Lewis, Miller, Finley, R.Lewis

Bruh!

can't totally agree. Pippen was an engine of the team but Michael was the finisher. They really found different roles and share the ball because mj is incredible without a ball

I’m not sure you can take his opinion at face value. He hates Jordan with an extreme passion.

Micheal was chosen to be marketed as the face of the sport. All that jacking up irresponsible shots whenever u feel like it.. doesnt work with grown men. The league makes that work. Pippen was the better and more all around player.

Dickey mono Please list the things Pippen was better than Jordan at, in order of importance? I’ll wait...

@@robhughes8198 Ok Defensively Jordan could gaurd the 1-3..and even some 4's. Were as Pippen could gaurd the 1-4 and even some 5s. Offensively..Jordan a had post game yes. But Scottie cud do the same..but what Scottie had (in the post) that Jordan didn't have was a full blown power forward post game repertoire. Scottie could defend and post up Tim Duncan at and elite level. Did u know that Scottie was the quarterback of the triangle offense. The main reason phill placed him at the point was because he was the best ball handler on that team. But he also had the point gaurd iq. If Scottie retires to play baseball instead of Jordan..Jordan doesn't get the bulls as far as Scottie got them because in basketball terminology micheal is a 1on1 player..micheal will force 30+ points where as Scottie just reacts to his roster, the opposition, and the game situation, and what ever #s come out of that..thats what they'll be. You believe what you believe..due to the doing a hell of a job at marketing their main product. It's a business..The league chooses a face of the sport based on what they think would be most entertaining to most people.

Two types of leadership, good to have both in your team

@Gino Khalifa I only said that cause Jordan gets all the credict and more money . but scottie was just as gud Jordan won 6 right with whom ijs

True statement mike needed scottie and Scottie needed mike

@@mauricepickens5782 Jordan gets most of the credit and most of the blame. Pippen should've got paid more, but Jordan didn't get paid either until his last two seasons as a Bull. Pippen wasn't as good as Jordan that ridiculous, 6FMVPS for a reason.

@@blo2706 i agree bro. They played Pippen

@@arthurthomas4204 true

He's been saying it since being am active player. So he doesn't need to "admit it" now.

He’s said it a bunch. What you talkin about? Lol

@Jay Thompson - eehhh, nah there's definitely a lot of similarities lol

TMAC on another level offensively. But Pip on another level playmaking, and defense

@@mmafan2223 T-Mac was an elite playmaker and defender too.

He shot more 3's and hung out by parameter more taking longer shots. WAYYY more mature in the 2nd 3-peat

Thank you. The back injury really did him in

As a Pippen fan that back injury killed me!🤕

Facts

How is that contradictory. Pip is a great supporting cast. But MJ still carried the team.
