Bulls vs. Hawks 1997 Playoffs Game 1

/ scottie33pippen
The Bulls fell behind early and for much of the 3rd qtr before Pippen went off on a 3 point binge and Jordan scored 20 in the period. Jordan ended the game with 34 points and Pippen added 29 shooting 6/10 from 3 point range including the clutch three with about 40 seconds remaining in the 4th qtr.

[@Alex-ew7hh]

Scottie Pippen was a beast. My favorite player from those bulls.

[@paxsopranodynasty7555]

He's my favorite player all-time

[@blue-eyedsoul4239]

Scottie Pippen definitely one of the greatest of all time! Great all around player.

[@taochen2952]

so you like curry or pippen？

[@wsuptrick]

what id do to rewatch the NBA during the 90s.... instead of the soap opera thats going on right now

[@disvillage]

#33 was really who I was more impressed with. Most shots from #23 were fade-away or the like. #33 was the most graceful aka Dr J. You are my GOAT Scotty.

[@boogieloo1831]

Servant Of-Yeshua - do you know how hard fadeaway so are or how unstoppable? Lol. Pippen couldn't shoot, period. This was his biggest weakness which is why MJ always got the ball when it was time to get the job done. Pip's entire game was learned at MJ's feet which is obvious if you watch how he plays. Pippen was a great all around player but he was no MJ. Period.

[@djuanbenjamin9149]

Actually MJ was more graceful...Scotty was smooth.

[@iamtman1]

Pippen was a much better shooter than you say. He hit the dagger 3 pt here in this game, and from mid 90's on, he had very good 3 pt shot.

[@paxsopranodynasty7555]

@@iamtman1 guys say Pippen couldn't shoot period ? Wow. He made 400 more 3 pointers in his career than MJ. If he shot as much as MJ did he would have averaged about 28 points a game

[@paxsopranodynasty7555]

@TXxxD and was better at shooting them.

[@vincespell]

Chicago had the weapons. Pippen the best Small Forward in the game, Mr. Everything was what they called him. Jordan pound for pound the best player in the game period, Jordan had the defense, the scoring, best rebounding guard with 6 boards a game. Scottie's game advanced under Phil and Mike. Phil Jackson an ABA Championship Coach, a 2 time NBA Champion with the Knicks. Ron Harper once rated one of the top shooting guards in the league during his tenure with Cleveland. Tony Kukoc, Europe's top player prior to coming to the Bulls. Dennis Rodman, 2 times NBA Champion, 2-time Defensive Player of the year, 4 times rebounding Champion prior to coming to the Bulls, Steve Kerr who would go on to win a 3 point shooting title while with the Bulls. These guys were amazing. Scottie Pippen homegrown, traded on draft day from Seattle Supersonics to the Bulls for Olden Polynice. Dennis Rodman traded from the San Antonio Spurs for Chicago's Will Perdue. No one wanted to play with Dennis until they saw what he could do if left alone! Imagine David Robinson(who requested that they trade Rodman from San Antonio) Tim Duncan and Rodman on the boards! Tell me how do you get a rebound with that frontcourt?... Bulls knew what they were doing when they put that team together prior to Michael Jordan's return. Remember Kukoc, Rodman, Kerr, Buchler, Brown, Longely, Harper all came during Jordan's absence and they got to play with Scottie, so, Jordan was coming back to a team that knew how to play with each other thanks to Scottie.

3:42 "Jordan guarding Mookie Wilson" 😄😄😄

[@ericjohnlincay3820]

The best game..

[@DOXULOS]

so right dude... damn those Bulls such a beautiful team... Soul Guts Talent that team was unique.....

[@xavierglynn3152]

Make no mistake pippin was just as important as Michael. Mike just had more hype behind him

[@x-man9473]

Here we go overeating Pippen again.

[@walterlv01]

This Hawks team was no joke - won 56 games, and with Blaylock, Mutombo, Laettner and Smith 4 of their starting 5 were All-Stars at one point. They gave absolutely everything they had for the first 2 1/2 games in this series but then seemed to realize that they just couldn't beat Chicago and gave in to mental fatigue the rest of the way.

[@Wis_Dom]

I agree. Chicago only won by 3 points, in this game.

[@韓粉出征寸草不生英粉]

The Bulls were 10 point favorite. Only won by 3

[@RoDiggityDangit79]

They almost beat the Bulls in the regular season

[@youtuber3328]

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH they beat the bulls 1 time out of 4 in the 1996/97 season

[@youtuber3328]

they were good but not elite since they lost in the eastern conference semi finals

[@BrutallyH0nest]

Someone else had uploaded this game but omitted Pippen's great 4th qtr play and the clutch three. It's nice to see Scottie getting his props for a change. Keep it up AJ.

[@LC-ou812]

Jordan/Pippen best NBA combo EVER!!!

no that's bob cousy and bill russell and after 1963 john havlicek and bill russell

[@zylzyl3823]

PiP was amazing ... Can't say enough about my brother

[@zylzyl3823]

Pippen was "Never" shadowed by MJ , his the best SF ever ... This game and many other season / finals games are a testimony of Pippen greatness

[@ggdoubleg8398]

The defensive play @ 8:15 was pure intimidation. Plays like that happened over and over in his career. All-time best defensive player Scottie Pippen!

[@BarstoolBlues33]

Yup. Greatest perimeter defensive player by far.

[@AHMAD-2324]

Barstool Blues I think him and Jordan are tied as the GREATEST WING defender's of All-Time.

[@lamefart]

@@AHMAD-2324 include Payton and you have 3 of the best perimeter defenders of all time.

[@storybehind9484]

Pippen was way more than a side kick. Lifted the whole team when needed.

[@Wis_Dom]

He learned that in 94. When Jordan left.

[@reymondabellana6807]

Mike always gives pip his due credit,he never once said that he did all by his lonesome.

[@gmoneybagz2376]

Pippen was a sidekick stop it!If your looking at these highlights and you came up with that conclusion your lost!I watched Scottie’s ENTIRE career out of Central Arkansas!He was an average offensive player but an all time great defensive player!However,he was not clutch or a closer so if he had to be the man you would lose a bunch of close games because he wasn’t the guy you wanted the ball in his hands in the 4th quarter!That isn’t what I was told nor did I need to watch KZbin highlights to tell you facts!Im a die hard Bulls fan since 1981!

[@shiningking]

Jordan average 30 ppg while pip 16 ppg only...pip was only a sidekick

[@anthonylockhart4943]

@@shiningking that's because he kept playing past his prime with the rockets and trailblazers so his stats suffered alot old

[@mr.t8355]

Hawks were an excellent team..just too much Mike & Scottie!🏀

[@youtuber3328]

the hawks were above average but not elite since they lost in the eastern conference semi finals

[@theterra-path7798]

Scottie Pippen was the real deal, and so was Kukoc..

[@dazdavis7896]

Definitely... Their 1st 3-peat they had a better starting lineup, Jordan at the peak of his prime, Scotty hitting his prime, Horace grant who was an underrated beast on offense, he was a real good inside scorer; but the second time around, they had a much deeper bench, buncha seasoned vets & 6th man of the year contenders. I think I’d still rather have the 91-92 or 92-93 Bulls over the 95-96 Bulls any day. Jordan dominated 92... MJ at 29 was MJ at his best, he had literally no weaknesses in his game at that point. The 92 team was just as good, probably better than the 96 team. They only lost like 4 more games than the 72-10 team. They were like 2 wins shy of hitting 70 that year as well. And like I said I’d rather have MJ still at the top of his game dunkin’ on ANY-damn-body that challenged him than the seasoned facilitator he became later on. MJ from about 88-93 was just literally unstoppable when he turned it on. Not that he wasn’t still the best player in the game without debate in the 2nd 3-peat, because he definitely was, but I’m just sayin I’d rather have him at his peak with Horace under the bucket and Paxson out on the wing than the later teams.

[@_Some_Guy_]

pippen was a beast... always played with such intensity and team spirit... he could do everything well and was one of the best defenders ever

[@Wis_Dom]

Pippen wasn't like that in the beginning. He grew up after Detroit.

[@randalldecker335]

@@Wis_Dom detroit made jordan and pippen into monsters

[@videocity4917]

Well the truth was he wont be Pippen as we knew if he didnt play with MJ, MJ made a huge impact in every teamamate he had

[@EmpireArcadia]

It's been a curse throughout Pippen's career, from the NBA to the actual fans who "SHADOWED" Pippen to Jordan. All Chicago fans and Pippen fans who went to the games and watched them when televised, all know how valuable he was to the team. Jordan stated this. However, toxic Jordan Fans, (not all Jordan fans, just the toxic ones) Idolize Jordan and do not want to credit the team or Pippen. They see Jordan and Basketball's GOD and believe that he won all those championships on his own. Jordan does not believe this but it's a part of the propaganda of the media and zealot-toxic Jordan fans to propagate that narrative. They're like "Goku" fans... Idolitors.

[@EyesUpSports]

Although I LOVE the MJ Scottie clips..I would like to see highlights of all players in both teams

[@JC-li8kk]

But it’s the Scottie Pippen channel lol.

no the best duo ever is bob cousy and bill russell and after 1963 john havlicek and bill russell

[@krwnsy]

This is why when some people claim that MJ was guarded by smaller guards, you know they never really watched MJ play. Fun fact: no other Bull was double teamed when MJ was on the floor. MJ just knew how to beat the double and occasional triple team.

[@noelweru9764]

Scottie......the most under- rated player in the history of the league, great all round player esp on the defensive end. Even Mike knew they'd be no 6 rings without the Pip. Great vid.

this is the problem MJ does(matchup wise) to his teams opponents..when you put a guy as tall or taller than MJ, he uses his quickness to score on them, when the opposing team puts smaller players so that MJ won't be able to use his quickness. MJ just shoots over them.. MJ is the only GOAT!!!

That was a block on Pippen all day on Corbin

[@chitownref]

Yea it was, he neither established legal guarding position which would allow him to move and still take a charge nor was he set to take a charge without legal guarding position. That was a really bad call by Ron Garrettson and this is coming from a lifelong Chicagoan who was the biggest Bulls fan back in the day when the NBA was watchable.

Phil Jones - who do you think is in the court here? And have you seen every team today 1-15? People are so easily influenced by media because they only highlight LBJ and Westbrook. The league today is mostly filled with guys like TJ McConnell or J.J Barea etc. - and they fail to recognize how today's wide open game allows for the use of a lot more athleticism since it's much more transition and a lot less half court - and with nobody in the middle t prevent easy drives. Sorry but you kids need to stop trying to create fantasies to rationalize why MJ is the GOAT. It's not just his athleticism but his entire game and skills. And no - nobody today is in his league. If he played in today's wide open game, his numbers would be even better.
