Scottie Pippen remembers Michael Jordan's iconic 1997 Flu Game | The Jump 

That was so real that I gained a new level of respect for Scottie afterwards, and I was already a fan.

He was just thanking MJ for the years he was with him

The first name out of MJs mouth during his HOF speech was pippen. It's a team sport. MJ isn't the goat, the dream team is the goat. Team sport

DeWayne Phillips there is no such thing as a goat dummy. That's what I mean. You can't do it alone. Obviously there are people like lebron and kawhi that can carry a mediocre team. But the team needs to be at a certain level. Otherwise they are SOL

Scottie is the man, when a superstar acknowledges that a megastar has carried him for X amount of years, a new level of humbleness is set.

Mr. Bumbastic agreed but when he insults players of the new generation such as Lebron by always comparing him to MJ, that’s kinda stupid too.

Mr. Bumbastic Pippen is a top 50 player is nowhere near one of the greatest of all time wtf lol

@@MINK2393 top 50 of all time isnt one of the greatest to play the game? Huh? I'm confused? Yeah, you're braindead

MINK I think he’s closer to 20-25 than 50. I usually go 1. Jordan 2. LeBron 3. Magic 4. Kareem 5. Bird 6. Kobe 7. Hakeem 8. Duncan 9. Shaq 10. Durant 11. Russell 12. Dirk 13. K Malone 14. Wilt 15. Wade 16. Curry 17. Erving 18. Robertson 19. Maravich 20. Garnett 21. Thomas 22. M Malone 23. Barkley 24. Pippen 25. Leonard 26. Nash 27. Iverson 28. West 29. Hayes 30. Stockton 31. Ewing 32. Kidd 33. Drexler 34. D Robinson 35. Frazier 36. Gervin 37. Antetokounmpo 38. Harden 39. King 40. Allen 41. Miller 42. Wilkins 43. Reed 44. Paul 45. Pierce 46. McGrady 47. Payton 48. English 49. McHale 50. K Thompson I’m more biased towards wing players than big men though with the exception of Kareem, Hakeem, Shaq, Karl Malone, and Dirk because they would’ve dominated in any era. Other bigs that were just rim protectors and interior scorers wouldn’t have been as successful in today’s era in my opinion or even in the late 90s and early 2000s once the game started revolving around guards, and this top 50 is just me speculating how well each players skill set that they played with would’ve translated to every era since the 3 point line was implemented

Cody Goins wilt 14th??!! The man had 100 points in a game! No matter what era he would be amazing, and would probably dominate today’s nba.

10-12 at the FT line, refs handed him the game as always

Allstillwell idiot he retired in 2 years to play baseball so whats your point

Hector Rayray Quit and retired are 2 different words. If that's the case, every player that has "retired" has also "quit".

Ty Nao Don't be salty cause yo boy LeBron can't shoot free throws.

Allstillwell factz

Uchawi Beatz Official Lebron probably said to himself that he should've used the flu excuse instead of the broken hand.

Uchawi Beatz Official DAMM RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

Uchawi Beatz Official Indeed!

John Don you are correct sir!👍One of my favorite games. With Mar Albert, Bill Walton and Matt Gukis calling it!

John Don flu son!

Absolutely the fucking GOAT ✋ down Bron no comparison point blank period

He’s dizzy that time. 🐐 freakin 🐐

Same here!

1 of my favorite sports moments ever! 💯🔥💪🏾

Bobby mickey Thank you! Tired of the Pippen argument people throw out to try and discredit MJ

Yes.. A Robin

Facts! Pippen saw that MJ was striving and needed teammates to buff up with him - so Pippen added extra hours into his gym sessions and weights!

Boba Fett true bro. Pippen and Deon sanders worked out in MJs home gym in the summer for years

A hall of famer

King Dami but if lebron had a the flu you wouldn’t even bring it up also he had a fucking hangover gtfo

IAM FROM THE NETHERLANDS bronsexual spotted

IAM FROM THE NETHERLANDS Log off.

Big Ro of course jordansexuel

MrBlend piss off

Me too bro! This was truly one of MJ greatest performances. Those who never got to see this live need to go find the replay, because this is one of those games that will give you a new found respect for MJ's will to win.

C.E. Nelson I’m jealous

How was it!?

Mirza Kovacevic LMAO 😂🤣🤣

You out here still tryin' to get girls at 50?

I don't really like basketball. But being from Chicago, I watched the Bulls cause of Jordan and Pippen.

Anthony Davis and Lebron James may have something to say about that.

@@kartmartsupport3712 kobe and shaq also

@@kartmartsupport3712 Dude they've played one and a half seasons together... Jordan and Pippen went through it all together. There's a decent argument for Lebron being the GOAT, but y'all inserting him in discussions where he clearly doesn't belong is exactly why you get clowned on.

@@Michael-ki5oz The efficiency of AD and Lebron is insane bro. Of course, right now I don't think that they're the better duo than Pippen and MJ but if they beat this nets team and then win the next year, I would put them right there.

It was Stern lol

Jordan playing sick is Kwame Brown in his wildest dream.

I remember hearing that his temperature was over 100 that day

Yup I heard a Utah rest gave him so old or poison on the fiodm Utah people are cheaters but still MJ over came that and win

There is no such thing as 200%,,,,,,lol

Montażownia nr1 your delusional

@Hector Rayray Really ? Michael Jordan was DOMINANT. He didn't let another player score 32 on him in the finals per game (KD), or his opponent get finals MVP (Kawhi), or 2 other players outplay him in the finals (Wade and Dirk) etc etc. As a matter of fact, other than his 95 rusty comback serious against Orlando, he never let a single player outshine him in a series. Here are a few of many stats to show you just how dominant he was - Michael Jordan has 5 of the 7 top playoff series scoring averages of all time and 6 of the top 10. Lebron doesn't have one in the top 10. Kobe doesn't. Wilt doesn't even have one. He averaged over 40 PPG in 5 different playoff series. That's insane. His top 6 playoff series averages are 45.2, 45, 43.7, 43., and 41 respectively, the last being in the finals. Michael Jordan was 2nd leading player all time in steals, DPOY award, 6th all time guard in rebounds (Saying LBJ is a better rebounder is ridiculous, he plays forward! of course he grabs more boards!). Highest scoring average, and postseason scoring averages of all time. Michael Jordan has more Post-Season Records than Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Kobe and Lebron Combined. Jordan holds a whopping 42 NBA Playoff Records. To put that in prospective, this is how he measures up to other All Time Players: Number of Playoff Records: Michael Jordan - 42 Bill Russell - 15 Wilt Chamberlain - 13 Lebron James - 6 Kareem Abdul Jabaar - 5 Kobe Bryant - 5 Jordan holds the Highest career PER average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. Jordan holds the Highest career Efficiency rating average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. Jordan holds the Highest career Gamescore average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. Jordan holds the Highest career Winshares average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. Jordan holds the Highest MVP shares average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. Jordan is the only player to lead the league in Scoring and Win Defensive player of the Year a season. Jordan is the only player to Win a championship, scoring title and steals title in the same season.

Montażownia nr1 and if THIS doesn't.. there's about 10-15 others. Maybe more

Montażownia nr1 thanks for schooling these morons about greatness and real statistics going hand in hand.

Wilt Chamberlain was more dominant than Jordan.

Pookie Redz a. k. a stretch Armstrong pip 33

Beat small forward EVER

I watched most of the 90’s Bulls game live. Pippen was an elite defender, just as good as MJ. His offense wasn’t elite. He got a lot of points due to opponents focusing on MJ. I’m not knocking Pippen because he’s one of my favorite players but there were streaks he would throw brick after brick. My point is, people who never watched this team live think Pippen was very close to MJ in greatness. Not even close.

MJ was the beast of beasts before Pippen, only thing he needed was a couple of consistent teamates close to all star caliber to dominate the league. Pippen without MJ, would have been at best two all star selection kind of player. MJ didnt just bring attention to anybody that played alongside him, in Pippens' case he literally pushed Pippen day in and day out in practice to become who he became.

you forgot his giant palm , he can dribbles everyone's head with it.

I thought the same thing

Yeah, imagine being Jordan's teammate. Unbelievable experience.

Front row seat to some of the greatest performances in nba history!!!!!!

Brian Gore it’s good to see a youngblood understand the truth.

King Trawal oh shut up

Hell yeah!!!!!!!

I never seen him live but I think he is the goat

@42brownbomber yes I agree seeing him.live is a treat and an honor, he was still best player I have seen and I'm 49

Yeah idk what's wrong with him

True!When Michael was taking about his all time starting five, he picked Scottie as one of his team along with him...

Rio Rogers You ever have the flu for one day? 🤔🤔

Food poisoning

Ocular Vape-O Beams funny u ask ..i literally did...luckily my immune sytem was strong enough to fight it off after 1 night of sleep.

Ocular Vape-O Beams it was food poisoning. Having had food poisoning, I can tell u it was the worst pain of my life. Threw up 18+ times in 15 hours. Diarrhea maybe 6+ times. I was dry heaving after awhile. My chest was strained for weeks after.

Yeah, but that's SUPER uncommon. Not saying it's impossible, but you sure it was the flu?

Steven Kelley lebron is the true goat

@Bryan Lawrenson you're an idiot

@@hectorrayray3371 you're an idiot

@Bryan Lawrenson Wilt Chamberlain played against a bunch of white plumbers

Nah Bron

Nah Bron

@@FlawlessJose bron, the self proclaimed goat always chasing for great teamate and great team...

You know, it has its draw backs. It's rougher, and that's good. And they really have to work and it's fun to watch, and a great battle. But, there's a definite skill deficit compared to today. The amount of times 4s and 5s get the ball to 15 feet without shooting is weird.

Cherry Rose Mararac i remember that interview with the trainer, he also said it was strange that 10 delivery guys came to deliver just one pizza, and that MJ was definitely the only one to eat any of it.

That's why he's the GOATTTTTTTTTT

Cherry Rose Mararac ...I agree with you, one-thousand percent. You can be the epitome of perfect health. However, that flu put you flat on your back, PERIOD!!!

You believe anything??? Smh the man had a hangover he went to vegas was up all night then caught that flight BACK to Utah around 5 in the morning!!!

Food poisoning is the absolute WORST.. if MJ did have this, this is even more of an incredible story.

Preach

Riot Or diet pippen was also the best defensive player on the team, but lets just pretend kevin plays lockdown d

Fapoolakoo kevin played very good defense in finals and rebounds and scores way more then scottie!!Also a way better floor spacer!!just saying pippen is not as great as u lebron stans make him

Fapoolakoo Jordan was the best defensive player on the floor. It's just that Jordan couldn't put as much into defense because of what he was doing on the offensive end. He still was great defensively anyway though. Unlike Harden, Carmelo and others in today's era.

Fapoolakoo the entire team played defense! Pippen doesn’t have the defensive accolades of Michael Jordan! Jordan has more steals titles, more defensive player of the year awards, more seasons with 200 steals and 100 blocks in the same season, more 100 block seasons, more 200 steals seasons and more 1st team defense selections and Jordan missed most of 2 seasons of his career 1986, 1995, then came back and played at 38-40 years old. Jordan was scoring 35 a game and leading the nba in points, steals, 15th in blocks and winning mvp and defensive player of the year awards all in the same season while Pippen was a 7 point per game rookie on the bench! If Pippen has to score as much as Jordan and close would he still have been able to play the type of defense Jordan played? In 1998 why were the bulls down after Stockton hit that 3? Because Pippen gambled trying to double Malone and left Antoine Carr open for a layup, which forced Ron Harper to leave Stockton at the 3 point line to help Pippen and Malone spotted Stockton delivered the pass then Stockton put them up. Then Jordan had to score like 8 or 6 points in 30 seconds and get a steal to save them from going to game 7 and hit the game winner. Pippen had a bad back that series for the final 3 games. He definitely wasn’t the best defensive player that series. The Jazz has no great wing scorers! You act like he was checking a prime Dominique Wilkins or Mitch Richmond. They were a execution pick and roll team. Love shoots better, rebounds better and is a better scorer than Pippen! Pippen defends better and passes better. Neither are scrubs. Lebron uses Love wrong! 6 of those dudes have career scoring averages in double figures and 3 more score 9 points or more just under 10 for their careers! Lebron uses them wrong and refuses to play defense! The offensive system Lebron runs and that Ty Lue and every coach let him run is why they losing and no defense. If those same players are playing in the Spurs or Warriors offensive systems they will look good and be efficient.

Riot Or diet you’re talking like k love is better than pippen smh

He's being humble. Bulls don't get 6 titles without Pippen no way

TheFadedSpade jordan was better tho

Jordan was better. But he didn’t win the championships on his own. Look back to when they faced the ‘bad boy’ pistons. He realised he needed to use his team mates to win. Pippen was pivotal in this. I’m not taking anything away from MJ. He was the GOAT no doubt.

@@TheFadedSpade35 ...The second three-peat was about Dennis Rodman, and finally confirmed it.

@@brucescott4261 obviously Jordan was better and the goat. Rodman was arguably 1996 finals MVP that's how good he was. By 98 I think Rodman came off the bench

Majin Mexican Fax

Majin Mexican yeah LBJ

Hector Rayray yeah 6-0

Antonio Holley 0-9

Hector Rayray k

I can't wait to watch it. I just watched the "double nickel", "game 6", and finishing up "the shrug" game. So many iconic games. This one is definitely next.

He's not the best defensive player ever... It's Bill Russell or Dikember Mutombo, then Hakeen Olojuwon, Gary Payton, Wilt Chamberlain, Ben Wallave, Rodman, Jordan, Alonson Morning... I still love Scottie Pippen, he's a lower version of MJ two way playing style. But taller, humbler, he can adapt... He was one of the kind in many ways.

@@arielgarcia2642 really? dude won 6 titles in the most defensive era ever. The 90s. Team scoring was lower than ever. The era where Bill Russell dominated was the least defensive era, thats why teams were scoring 110- 118ppg Without a 3 point line, and people just camped in the lane due to no 3 second rule. Bill was a great defender of course but the Celtics success came more so the lack of competition and also how great his team was. They had 6 HOF players AND coached by Red Auerbach, they were stacked. The other players you mentioned like Payton and Mourning got smacked by the Bulls repeatedly. Maybe Pippen isnt the goat defender but he has a better case than some of the guys you mentioned.

exactly my thoughts

LeBron could use Scottie in the Finals.

It's called humility. Something Jordan is lacking . Especially being 1-9

bronsexual term used = bronsexual spotted

John How is he 1-9? Lmao he's 6-0 while your daddy is 3-6. And you better not be talking about anything before the Finals because Bron MISSED the playoffs his first couple years in the league. Now go cry elsewhere 😂😂😂.

bwink23 🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

aye bwink lmaoo!!!!! good one

bwink23 lmfao

Good one mate!

bwink23 ohhh you cheeky one, i see what you did there 😂😉

TheOtherGuy021 goat?? your delusional

Hector Rayray the only delusional ones are bronsexuals

TheOtherGuy021 it's crazy that there's (thank god) video evidence of these great MJ moments and people STILL debate!

Ty Nao how is he the goat when others have more points, assists, rebounds, and rings? Some have 7 or 11 rings. When KD Melo LeBron Curry Klay retire they'll all have more points than Jordan. I say that cause the goal of basketball is to put the ball in the hoop the most. People said Jordan is better than Kareem or Bill because he was a better player. For that same reason, LeBron is better than Jordan. Try to argue that.

Hector Rayray dude lebron will never be the goat he’s a sore loser n he picks his teams 🤷‍♂️

"The Henny Game" lmao

Tawseef A lmaooooo

😂😂😂

Lmfao

Underrated asf

D09 didn’t LeBron play while being sick for a game or two this season?

You know I would agree with you but the way put it just makes me want to punch you in the face
