Considering scottie played the majority of his career and spent many hours every day under Phil, I think his opinion on the mans character matters more than Dan Patricks.
@@zachnantz5304 - I’m not comparing the worth of their relative opinions. I’m just saying that Phil made a valid point. Pippen’s comment about Phil criticizing Kobe in his book then coming back to coach him doesn’t make him a racist. It might make him a backstabber or vindictive, but it doesn’t make him a racist.
Props to DP for giving Scottie an out and trying to get him to come to his senses rather than play along with Scottie's absurd premise. New respect for DP. New disrespect for Pippen. How dare he bring Kobe into it making that stupid strawman argument!
@@josephdelledonne2098 I'm watching my whole way through the 90's Bulls conference and finals. Scottie was never a last second shot guy. Last second layup guy - maybe. Even MICHAEL wouldn't offload to Scottie for a last second shot when he was double teamed; and, Scottie wouldn't take that shot anyway! The 2nd pass was ALWAYS open when Michael was double teamed. But Michael would rather offload to Pax or Kerr for a last second shot - because they're better shooters. This is so stupid.
Kukoc was the better shooter. Like in Milwaukee how they give the last shots to Middleton instead of Giannis. Giannis might be the better player, but that doesn’t mean he’s the guy you want shooting a 20 foot shot with the game on the line
@@KCiAzN Phil is not a racist; you're lame for falling for that bs. Pippen is a dirt bag and is just trying to get attention in hopes of selling books. Disgusting to call Jackson a racist when it's based on nothing. Kukoc was the much better shooter as was Paxson when he hit a game winner on a pass from MJ. Race had zero to do with Pippen not taking the final shot. Jackson was a great coach and knew a wide open 3 from a shooter like Kukoc or Paxson was better than a star getting double teamed. Fans loved Jordan but Pippen was never real popular.
So it’s for the cameras, yet MJ passes to Kerr like he said he was. And even if the play was drawn up for MJ…MJ didn’t force a shot when Stockton came over. He made a smart play and passed to Kerr. Pippen is losing it.
He also completely ignored the fact he came to the Bulls with Grant and their minutes increased the same respectively during the Bulls run. And that when Grant left, the “Pippen-led” Bulls were on the verge of not even winning 40 games and making the playoffs, until Mike comes back and they roll off 13 of the last 17. And this was despite the fact they added Kukoc, Harper Kerr and Longley. Or that the Bulls won 62 games when Pippen played only half the season and he played 27 minutes in game 6 in the final game against Utah.
"Wow MJ made the right basketball play" "Sounds like someone else i know who also does tht but gets criticized bcoz his teammates cnt make shots like kerr did"
@@buchulesobayeni6445 I think the difference is whole world know when mj has the ball he will take a shot even it is a very tough shot. So when he pass defense is not ready for it at all.But with Lebron you know he will pass if it is a tough shot more often than not. So defense is always thinking about it. that's the difference between lebron passing last shot and mj passing last shot.
When Phil decided to let Kukoc complete the last pitching lore, it was not out of contempt for Pippen, but his complete trust in Kukoc. Even Jordan himself did not have 100% confidence. Kukoc’s Fixed-point shooting is actually more accurate than Jordan! Pippen cannot understand the game, he only understands himself! If he hadn't met Jordan, he wouldn't be in the ranks of stars. If he went to another team, no one would know him today.
@@End_the_CCP i think to say pippen doesnt understand the game is plain wrong. You build a franchise with a player. Pippen’s ego as a superstar during that 95 season took over instead of being objective about it. Both decisions can be right. It is just that the win justified picking kukoc for the last shot. If we always base it on the the shoot mechanics, then reggie miller or even jordan shouldnt take the final shots.
Phil chose Kukoc not to spoil Kukoc alone, but the military commander has the situational awareness of the battlefield, and the commander is also responsible for the end of the war. Choosing Kukoc is to bet on more stable players. , Instead of betting on players with great fluctuations in the level of the game. At this time, who has the better chance of winning, the military commander knows his own soldiers well. Phil is not aimed at anyone. In addition to confusing his opponents, he has to make decisions for himself. Responsible, Pippen should learn to look at the development of things from the overall picture, rather than getting confused with the older
Man!! I forgot Scottie just lost his oldest son who passed away late April this year. Not giving him an excuse, cause their is no excuse for calling someone a racist. But Scottie is obviously is hurt and going through it. Prayers to Scottie and his family 🙏🏾
no excuse for calling someone a racist? He spent multiple hours with the man every day for almost a decade. If he thinks hes a racist there's a lot to it. So many youtube comments think they know phil jackson's character more than scottie
@@zachnantz5304 Your right Scottie spent a lot of time with Phil, but also Phil has coached hundreds of players and played on several teams. Not one former player or former teammate of Phil's has said what Scottie is claiming. Not one!! Also Scottie's creditability has been in question alot during his playing days in Chicago. So the majority of people will not take his word for it cause of his character. And this is an obvious attempt to sell his products. Let me get this right...Phil is a racist that you decided to continue being coached by after the 1994 season. You decided not to say shit about him being a racist from 1994 until 2021. You decided to win 3 more championships with him, smile in photos, hand out with him, etc and he a racist.
@@zachnantz5304 what evidence does he have that we should believe this? Sounds to me like you think we should believe him based on his skin color, rather than anything actually tangible.
@@zachnantz5304 bro you listening to this man? He sounds like a little kid lashing out. There's not another shred of evidence of him being racist yet your believe him because.... You on that racist/racism bandwagon. Gtfo guy!
but seriously, if ppl actually had a memory none of you would be surprised by his comments about the bulls... he's made it VERY Clear thru out the last 20/25yrs since he left the bulls that he didn't like being on that team but as usual ppl don't pay ANY attention to things after its been said 2days before..
Then Pippen started to lash out at Dan Patrick for pushing back on his crazy assertions about Phil. Man has a serious chip on his shoulder, even though he’s widely respected as a great player…
I'm someone that's from Chicago and grew up on the Bulls since the mid 80's. I just believe Scottie is going throw some personal issues and lashing out on certain people. Dude is truly in my prayers. I hope he gets it together ❤ 🙏🏾
@@calvinpete8226 he provided no proof of his racism other than saying Phil drew up a play for a white person over him. Then Dan Patrick proceeded to contradict him with the MJ/Kerr play, and then Scottie began talking like a flat earth conspiracist. You dumb as fuck if you're putting any weight to Pippen's words.
If the only reason that Scottie thinks Phil is racist is because he gave kukoc the last shot, he’s crazy. But like Scottie said here none of us were in the practices and locker rooms like he was and we don’t know Phil Jackson personally like Scottie does
Chinese fans all agree that his emotional intelligence has led to his low salary during the bull period, and it has also led to a series of fallacies during this period of time. A person must know his position.
@@canuuuuuunot he came out looking like a man that’s had a painful and difficult family life that had made some poor choices as a player. That’s relatable and most people sympathized or emphasized. What Scottie has done recently destroys that and makes him look like a spoiled primadona that doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut.
@@2B_or_not_2B I definitely sympathise with the guy with regards to his upbringing but he has always shown this crazy resentment towards Kucoc since day 1, this was evident again in the Last Dance. The guy can't and based on the last few days WON'T let it go. Big shame
Scottie was my favorite player growing up (and still is). This was hard to watch. He recently lost a son; and I don't know if that's affecting him now with some of what he's saying, but grief is a powerful thing and can quickly disguise itself and transform into anger. You even start to separate yourself from your past because the pain is too hard to bear. I've often thought of it as a divorce from your past self and that includes many of your friends and family linked to the one you lost. I hope Pip is okay. I know he has a book coming out but I don't really believe he believes some of what he is saying right now. Well wishes to him.
@@keeenenWhat’s true? If Pippen is gonna say that Phil Jackson is racist because he drew up that play for Kukoc then Pippen is also saying that he quit because he’s black. Once Pippen brought race into it then race involves all of it
It's too bad Dan didn't ask Scottie about the 24 second violation before the Kukoc shot, as well as Kukoc hitting 3 previous game winners, and how this may have influenced Phil's decision to go with Toni.
just to be fair on what scottie said. if there's a camera in front of you, you can't just easily say what is in your mind. you've got to filter it. and he was right because the play was for jordan and the backup play was for kerr in case jordan couldn't get the last shot.
He just Published a Book... And he's marketing some private label Booze. He's trying to drum up some social media chatter for promotional purposes. He just wants people talking, using his name so his book and and alcohol will sell...
When Phil decided to let Kukoc complete the last pitching lore, it was not out of contempt for Pippen, but his complete trust in Kukoc. Even Jordan himself did not have 100% confidence.

"MJ came back cause it was getting good" BROO YOU LITERALLY WERE POINTING AT YOUR JORDAN 10s and WAS TELLING HIM TO COME BACK YOU GUYS WERE UNDER .500 GTFO HERE PIP
@@ih7095 Yeah cause they picked up some new players same system etc. He is obviously trollin to get views so ppl read his book. Go watch his hall of fame speech he speaks all highly of MJ but on here he is selfish and playing things for the camera.
@@ih7095 they were good that first yr after MJ left because with it without Mike they were coming off a 3peat and had supreme confidence in themselves. That next season tho, they weren’t that great and were in danger of not making the playoffs until MJ showed back up and the Bulls won 13 of their last 17 games.
MJ: Scottie Pippen is the greatest teammate I’ve ever had. Without him I don’t win 6 championships. MJ: If I was to pick 4 guys with me to play 5 on 5 for the world, Scottie Pippen would be on that team. Scottie: I hate that man.
I don’t have no problem at all with Scottie speaking his peace and telling his side of the story as far as his experience with MJ. I think he’s being unfair in labeling Phil Jackson a racist though. That’s too huge of an accusation to just put out there without authentic receipts outside of “he let Toni take the last shot instead of me”
If he’s gonna call Phil a racist based on that, I don’t exactly trust his opinion on Michael either. It’d be cool if he had proof, instead he just sounds upset.
Yea I need more proof than that. So you mean to tell me that if Phil would have picked another black guy to shoot the last shot Scottie would be feeling the same way? 😂😂. He just throwing more fuel and still holding that resentment of the fact that Phil didn't view him as the guy during the times MJ was not in the league.
@@bluefox12factsbeforefeelin58 and he also made comments about Carmelo Anthony when he was on the Knicks that some thought was racial calling Carmelo's entourage a posse lol
@@GSOF_Oven Oh Come on During last dance did you watch dan hating on MJ every single day just bcoz mj didnt call him for interview as a jorno he git hurt
He quit on his team, apologized for it. Then, he said he wouldn’t do anything different. Fast forward to 2021, accuses the coach for being a racist for not giving him the last shot. Let’s face it, he’s just a selfish prick. Sad.
Honestly seems like it at this point. Calling out players and ex coaches and throwing his teammates under the bus. Very awkward. You’re a five-time champion. What more credit do you need? No one is diminishing how good of a Robin/secondary player Pippin was. Not sure why he’s so salty that he was never a superstar caliber player. He’s the Klay Thompson to Curry. Why the hell would you fret over one shot and call your coach a racist when his go to guys were MJ, Shaq and Kobe😂
Yes he receives acknowledgement for his talents, but Scottie deserves way more. He's the first kind of the player that was all around great. He guarded Magic During that first finals they won together. So I understand his sentiments.
It amazes me how little empathy everyone has...Despite having been one of the best players on earth and known across the globe for perhaps a decade, Scotties been disrespected perpetually by people who have achieved nothing in comparison .... clearly was consistently underappreciated by his employers shortchanged his fair share of credit by the media, and decades into retirement rather than even being able to relive the good times via a new documentary like The Last Dance, watches his reputation get dragged thru the mud all over again this time by MJ, the legendary GOAT who has 0rings and a legacy of futility when playing NBA games without him...Pippen left more money on the table in order to continually help glorify MJ than the overwhelming majority of us will ever make in our lifetimes, and MJ continues to make a killing in retirement as the worlds greatest shoe saleman because of the legacy Scottie more or less broke his back helping him complete...Try walking a mile in another mans shoes. I was very dissappointed with The Last Dance and with the kind of guy MJ has seemingly become in retirement tbh...it was a self aggrandizing 10hr puff piece yet it failed to fully depict some of the most spectacular, defining aspects of what it was like to face MJ at his best-overempahsized and flat out fudged in some areas while failing to fully capture and alleviate on certain other vital moments, pts in his career for the sake of adhering to their format and of course pushing&serving their 1sided narrative.
@@dp233332 how about respecting kukoc? Scottie appears in all time rankings near players like malone barkley Robinson... He receives more respect than he gets and is always branded as 'underrated'
Scottie and Jordan did go 1-1, according to former teammate Craig Hodges. "“I can remember this time in, I think, 1990 when Scottie decided to challenge Michael one day in practice,” Hodges told The Washington Post. “Michael kind of backed up for a half-second. Then he proceeded, literally, to score on Scottie at will. It was incredible. I mean, Scottie Pippen even then was one of the best players in the league and Michael just rained points on him. Scottie had to step back and say, ‘Slow up, man."
Maybe pippen is still mad about that 😂😂. Knowing that he was one of the best overall defenders back then if not the best and Jordan would just come down and rain shots on him.
@@tadeokrzos2550 That's how he became the defender he did guarding MJ in practice everyday. If he had to guard him, he should been able to guard just about anyone given his height, athleticism, wing span, hands, etc.
Hey I feel the same way. I love having this picture of the 90s Bulls being this close family like team and hearing Pippen talking like this just ruins that. He doesn’t seem like he likes Jordan or Phil and is more resentful of Jordan. I’ve had clues of that here and there over the years but I tried to ignore it. Now I can’t.
Basically says Jordan was never his friend and they aren’t friends now. Pretty sad to hear. The amount of work to put in together to win six championships has got to form some kind of bond. Scottie makes it seem like they played on the same team together for a year and moved on. Those of us who grew up watching the Bulls probably understand now it wasn’t all sunshine but this is just odd.
@DG 1 no doubt no matter what they try to do...they cant diminish the fact Jordan deserves to be recognized as the greatest player in the history of the NBA
“The young men grow so dependent on their posse’s (sic), who fetch their cars and their girls, that they can’t possibly develop into mature, self-sufficient human beings “ - Phil Jackson
This man took care of his family when his father became permanently disabled. He will always have my support. Im not a bulls fan but i do like the nba. I am a fan of humanity.
I would never show my kids pippen as a person to aspire to be no matter his accomplishments he's a cry baby quitter who not have a ring if MJ wasn't his teammate
Def painful 😣 and clearly, Scottie felt slighted by MJ while they played together…and he still balled out. They both needed each other but MJ needed Scottie more
It was a selfish decision? The dude (MJ) clearly was teetering on a nervous breakdown after his father (and best friend) was murdered and had his body dumped in a swamp. Playing baseball, for better or worse, was clearly his way of dealing with things relating to his father’s death (as he said, he and his father had discussed the idea). Scottie, we hardly knew ye.

@Lion Swings Thank you for the quote. It’s particularly interesting to me because it happens to be the 3rd reference to C.S. Lewis I’ve seen or heard this week. I’ve been internalizing the things he’s said about pride.
Yeah that statement changed my outlook on Scottie Pippen Phil Jackson is a racist because Toni Kukoc got the last shot over him What a bull hurt statement to make in Public. He shouldve kept that to himself my opinion
Scottie seems like he had a few sips of something. Scottie wasn't even drafted till 1987 so how could he and Michael be together since the early '80's?
Hes mad he didnt get all the recognition. He and kd are very similar in there attitudes. They seem like things dont get to them but it definitely did. Bron and mj will always get most of the recognitions.
@@mm4forever It is how Black people's hair naturally grows out of our head. Just like Pippen's atheletic abilities are natural or genetic, is there anything funny about that? Is genetic straight hair funny? Is wavey hair funny? Or, is it only our hair that is the joke?
Nigga scottie pippin checked everything a problem for the bulls Mike checked point guards lol duh 🙄they went without Mike after Mike got his dad killed by thr mob and Phil took scottie out to make Jordan a 🐐 that's why LeBron was mishandled by the NBA fr he was everything Mike wasn't as a kid..
Bron never had a team like nobody in the NBA ever a.d hurt fr wade was hurt fr bosh was sick fr never had a good center ever.. mosgov that's all he make bums raw if he was in Portland when it was Aldridge nobody would stop them Kylie forgot. Jordan didn't make people better ask mama's cookin, 😄
I played in the NBA, won 6 championships, played side by side with the Greatest Player of all time, received much praise and recognition now I’m on talk shows, starting my own businesses and writing a book ,Poor Me!
it seems scottie felt like there was always someone there to cast a shadow on him and his personality at the time was quiet and deliberate because of the people you had to compare him to.. i dont know if he even realizes the massive shadows he himself casts, like youre one of the greatest to ever do it, accolades all over.. if only he could realize that.
Scottie aka Buckwheat said the Cameras were there to script the Steve Kerr shot, for the Come Fly with me Doc. When come fly with came out in '89 🤦🏾♂️plenty of years before the Kerr Shot, Scottie's Liquor definitely is effective and potent stuff clearly 🤣😂
Damn, Pip was one of my favorite players all time growing up, but this was hard to watch him like this. MJ was right in the last dance - Scottie will never be able to live down the Knicks incident 😕

if you look on his insta the last 6/9 posts are about alcohol. Combine that with his untidy hair and looking thin as hell the guy seriously needs some help before he burns bridges.
@@bobharley1 y'all speak on people and really don't even know. His eldest son just recently died, along with his mentor and high school coach, who he looked up to tremendously. People can speak their peace, I'm the biggest MJ fan in the world when it comes to basketball but I dont worship him. Several people have spoken about MJ the person and it hasnt been glowing reviews.
@@King-ns7it Hence why I said he needs help before he burns too many bridges. He's been lashing out at his coach, Kukoc, Chuck, KD, MJ etc. Unfortunately Scottie didn't always have the reputation of being a nice person, hence the name no tippin pippen and the alcohol is just bringing out the worst in him. MJ was out of touch telling Scottie he was being selfish while being the highest paid player with the hottest selling shoes and eventually becoming a billionaire while Scottie struggled financially. But everyone warned him not to sign the contract and even the front office couldn't believe that they were lowballing him that they even asked if he was sure if he wanted to agree to the contract. But Phil was ok with him taking vacation instead of getting surgery early and had his back on that. He's made some bad, regrettable life decisions and has had misfortunes. He needs to let go of things that other people didn't do because bringing up old things will only chase away people who want to help him. At this point Dennis Rodman looks more stable even though everyone thought it would be him that would be lashing out.
