Scottie Pippen: Ultimate Defender 

4:31 cracks me up. Pip blocks the shot, is disgusted with himself for not coming up with the ball and then 5 seconds later as an afterthought he's like maybe I should talk a little trash here...."get that shit outta here Dennis" LOL. And Dennis Scott shouts "And 1" as if he got fouled when he damn well knows he didn't lol. What a great era of basketball. Props to whichever network's mic caught that. You would never see that on ESPN or ABC since they block out cursing during games.

Scottie Pippen was a one man, double team. Probably the most underrated NBA player in history simply because he played next to the greatest ever. The fact that the Bulls had Pippen, Jordan and Rodman on 1! team is almost criminal.

This is one of the most beautifully created and most important basketball play compilations on the internet.

Been watching the nba for around 35 years, and Pippen is by far the best wing defender I have ever seen.

Pippen would make a seamless transition in today’s NBA!

this is why the bulls is so elite. pippen can score and defend jordan can score and defend rodman can rebound and defend

I've said it a million times...Pippen is the most under rated player, ever.

Scottie Pippen has always been my favorite player. All around player. Consistent energy from 1st quarter to 4th. High basketball IQ.Athletic and passionate.

Arguably the greatest defender in NBA history

Michael Jordan practiced against that everyday

He played perfect defense. It was a beauty to watch Scottie go to work on defense.

It really warms my heart that this video has as many views as it does. So many people wanting to see true defense be played....scottie in my opinion was the best nba defender ever

Pippen doesn't just steal the ball from his opponent, he steals it with elegance and art.

Scottie Pippen is my all time favorite player. He is the most disrespected Superstar in NBA history. He is without a doubt a top 25 all time greatest player yet no one gives him the credit he deserves. smh

James Harden disliked this video

The best perimeter defender I have ever seen! Pip was a joy to watch

Like the late Kobe Bryant said, “YOU WANNA LEARN DEFENCE.... WATCH SCOTTIE PIPPEN”. R.I.P!! Mamba for Life!! PIPPEN was a ONE MAN WALL though to break!!

I'm not a huge basketball fan but i sure do like watching the greats. scottie pippen was a great basketball player!

Some noticeable players he could defend man-to-man: PG: Magic Johnson, Penny Hardaway, Mark Jackson SG: Kobe Bryant, Clyde Drexler, Tracy McGrady SF: Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkins, Grant Hill PF: Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Chris Webber C: Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Vlade Divac He's gotta be proud of this!

His game was smooth and his dunks ferocious, how he posterized Ewing, Barkley, Malone, and Morning...wow

Pippen was the leading vote getter on the NBA All-Defensive First Team, voted by the coaches, 4 consecutive years, in 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997, and as far as I'm concerned, that's the REAL DPOY! 1994: Pippen 1st (45/52 pts); DPOY: Olajuwon 3rd (35 pts) 1995: Pippen 1st (46/52 pts); DPOY: Mutombo 2ND TEAM!! (26 pts) 1996: Pippen 1st (55/56 pts!!); DPOY: Payton 3rd (48 pts) 1997: Pippen 1st (53/56 pts); DPOY: Mutombo 3rd (50 pts) Scottie Pippen NEVER won the Defensive Player of the Year award, and that may be one of the biggest travesties in sports. Why? Because the DPOY is voted by the media, and they know squat about real defensive talent. You know who recognized that Pippen was the best defender of the 90's? The coaches!

Pippen was the ultimate all rounder basketball player and not to forget a very smart and intelligent one too. To make a successful offensive play is a great attributes of any basketball player but to be able to read opponents offensive plays and counter them with your defensive moves and make an successful offensive play out of it when least expected, now that is a legend my friends, that's Scottie Pippen.

problably the most underrated player ever. this was the most exciting basketball team to watch (72-10).

I just loved watching Pippen defend. Or play at all. He was a joy to watch.

The best defensive highlight video of all-time

say what you want, but Jordan wouldn't have won 6 without Scottie. One of the most underrated player ever.

Forever underrated.

by far the most underrated player ever

In today’s NBA he will be the best player

Scottie Pippen is my favorite all time player. Seriously underrated. AFter Jordan left, he led the team in every major category.

Scottie Pippen was a complete player in his prime!

Pisses me off he never won DPOY

His post-up defense is simply unbelievable, he pokes and steals the ball from the opposition with ease.

I love every video you've made of Pippen, and I read someone's comment in this video saying, "You only showed steals and blocks". I told him, "People don't understand how to watch for Pippen's ability to prevent the other team from making the smooth entry pass due to Pippen always threatening the lane. As a fan you watch the player with the ball, so it's hard for almost anybody (other than a good coach) to see how amazing Scottie was at blocking or threatening the lane. He literally prevented entire teams from playing their normal sets... but without a video that includes narration describing this along with someone drawing circles on the screen (like Kenny Smith) it would be impossible to just run a video of Scottie's finer defensive skills, because most would be blind to see those skills. Plus each video would have to be 30 minutes long if you include all his hustle plays, etc that weren't just steals or blocks lol

This showed every aspect of defense to its very highest degree! 🏁

Pippen is super underrated. This video proves just how GREAT he is!!!

Greatest defender ever. Simply amazing.

I see a lot of Scottie Pippen in Kawhi Leonard... Leonard could easily be the 20-6 guy Pippen was and also plays incredible defense

Pippen would be even greater in the NBA today than he was in the 90's with his 3's and D ability.

Jordan is the G.O.A.T., great all-around volume scorer in both isolation and off the ball, elite defender and rebounder for his position, an assassin in the final 6 minutes in the game, and a fiery competitor who always played with a chip on his shoulder. He was the face and hero of the league and delivered. But Pippen deserves just as much credit in the Bulls championships. Pippen was the anchor of the Bulls pressure defense and he was the playmaker who kept his teammates involved in the offense throughout the entire game. He took on the toughest defensive assignments on the perimeter and kick-started many of the Bulls runs by creating a turnover on the defensive end and either finishing on the fast break or knocking down a pull up three-point shot. Pippen also lent moral support to his teammates after MJ lashed out at them. Pippen made the Bulls play better as a team. And the Bulls' elite pressure defense and the reliability of his teammates to make an open shot in crunch time gave the opportunity for MJ to be the finisher in the final six minutes. And Pippen made that happen. And MJ knows it.

Scottie, what CAN'T you do? Absolutely nothing ❤ I watched you do it all in this video. Thanks for all the years you've given us every time you were on the court. Thanks for being such a good leader, humble and classy.

I watched Russell play Chamberlain...I saw Oscar Robertson, , Larry Bird, Jordan, Kareem...etc. I've seen most of the greats. I never saw anyone as good as Pippen.

The greatest defender of all-time!

Wow, I am really amazed on how good Scottie Pipen was. I never really pay attention to his defense, wow he was good.

Greatest SF of All time!

those were the days.

The freaking memories,,, dammm I miss this so bad,,,, long live the greatest team ever Chicago Bulls,,,💯👍❤️✌️

Imagine if we had pippen in todays game? he would’ve ended so many todays’s superstars careers before they even started.

Jordan said playing 1 on 1 wit Pippen to his game to the next level

The NBA needs more guys like this

I've been watching videos of Jordan, Stockton, Bird, Bryant, Rodman, Curry, but this video impresses me more than all of the others. Pippen plays like his life depends on it

When MJ practiced against him everyday. Lol no wonder why everything looks easy for MJ. He got two of the most defensive players ever played to practice and guard him every single day of practice. 📍

He moves like a stealthy cat. So agile, one of a kind player in a century.

One of the best basketball videos on youtube.

What a treat to watch the awesome Scottie Pippen here. Great highlights vid.

Great video. One of my all time favorite players and he deserves all the recognition he can get for his contribution to the game.

Pippen would lock up steph easy.

Damn that was a Masterpiece

Watching Pippen highlights always a pleasure.

just came from watching The Last Dance and I wanna say I love how he went from shy to full-on fearless badass over the course of years

Should've won multiple DPOY awards.

can't help but wonder just how hard it would be for modern nba players to play against Pip, they would crumble under his pressure is my guess

Scottie and Jordan were such a great defensive duo. People focus on the flashy offense but those bulls teams could shut you down. I remember the term "unleashing the doberman's" their full court press lead to much frustration for their opponents. And this was back when playing zone would get you and illegal defense call. It was fun to watch the other team come unglued with frustration.

Scottie rules!

pippen the best defensive player ever

I'm personally tired of the "Jordan made Pippen" myth. If Jordan was never on the Bulls, Pippen would've still been great. He wasn't selected 5th overall in the 1987 draft for nothing. He was the 1994 All-Star MVP, led the Bulls in every stat, and is the all-time playoff steals leader. The only season he missed the playoffs with a losing record was his final season, when he was injured for 50+ games.

Superb video. I have heard about Scottie recently. Thanks for this film. Keep calm and I want to greet the fans of basketball all around the world.

Grew up watching these guys. Love this.

my all time favorite nba player pippen

i hate when people say jordan made scottie. That not true. Scottie played some of the best defense i have ever seen but the media just thinks of jordan as god saying "look at how jordan is making all stars" its bull (no pun intedened) scottie is someone who i want on my dream team. He can shot the J then play great defense.

The world needs more good defensive compilation videos like this. Defense makes all the difference.

Scottie in his prime would shut Lebron James down.

Best damn defender in history. Jordan, Russell, Rodman, Bobby Jones, etc. were awesome. But when you combine on the ball defense, passing lanes, ability to defend all five positions, sacrifice and hustle taking charges and team defense, he's in a class by himself.

Beautiful to watch

Still one of the best basketball vids on the web. The music and editing are perfect.

Scottie Pippen was one of the elite defenders of all time which goes to show just how great Michael Jordan was. Check out what their teammate Craig Hodges had to say... "I can remember this one time in, I think 1990 when Scottie decided to challenge Michael one day in practice", Hodges said. "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".

This is an extraordinary excellent video that let me know how good and important Pippen is, thanks for uploading, really a nice video for a true basketball fan like me ^^

What a great video!! Thanks for putting it together.

Awesome job putting this together. Pippen is one of the best ever!

Pippen never winning DPOY is the biggest robbery in nba history fr

I hate it when people make it seem like Jordan carried those bulls teams by himself. They were 1-12 in playoffs games before they drafted Pippen. He had Pippen (best defender in the league), Rodman (best rebounder in NBA history), Phil Jackson (best head coach in NBA history), Kerr (best shooter in the league), Kukoc (best euro in the league)...when people look back at those teams, all they see is Jordan, and rightfully so. But those bulls teams were so stacked, even if you take Jordan off of them, they still had a contending team.

thanks for the video, love it! Imagine what it must have been like for their contenders to play against a team with three of the best defenders to ever play the game: Pippen, Jordan and Rodman. Holy crap!

you should upload more often because scottie is my favorite player and ur channel's just awesome.

"Pippen would shut queen James down" "Pip would leave lechoke ice cold" what a compliment that folks are so insecure about Lebron, they say that the best perimeter/wing defender in nba history would shut him down. A shame Jordan NEEDED him for 6 rings, or Jordan would've been the 1 getting shut down.

could lock up Lebron easily

Very fortunate to have watched when these teams were playing. Also have seen them in person in the USA basketball team

Smooth transition from defense to offense. Legend!

People get so caught up with MJ that they forget just how stellar Pippen was. Let's remember folks MJ couldn't get a ring until they added Scottie and they didn't establish pure dominance until a few more names were added to the roster.

Pippen is just as great as Jordan.. Dammnn

So smooth. I love Pip! My favorite player.

Scottie you were a defensive clinic all by yourself every single game. Glad you played when I cared about the NBA, because you showed how the most important part of the game should be played. I took your lessons to every pickup game I played and thanks to you I was a better player.

Its really stupid when some people say Michael Jordan never had any help. Scottie Pippen is one of the best and most versatile defenders of all time, a HOF player and a top-50 greatest of all time player as seen in this video.

I love how he was able to block shots and keep the ball in play. It is sad that this dude will never be appreciated. The Jordan legend continues to grow. It is at a mythical level now. People will have the nerve to say that Jordan was a much better defender. Much better? That's the part that bothers me. They don't even say slightly. They go as far as to say much better. Saying things like "it's not even close".

Extremely underrated and becoming obscure!

Great offence is a great defence and great defence is a great offence. That’s why I loved the 90’s basketball, nearly ever major All-Star were great offensive and defensive players. It was really entertaining.

He comes from no where and just blocking it. (AMAZING)

pippen would most certainly shut Lebron down at any point in his career

Scottie was my favorite player! Best defenser ever! #33

Just a defensive powerhouse man,I feel Scottie P was underrated as a player in his era.I feel evem today he's not given as much due as he truly earned.I get it though because majority of the fans will say"He played along side MJ"but Scottie a G.O.A.T!🔥💯

Kawhi Leonard on his way to becoming like Pippen!
