Colin Cowherd RIPS Scottie Pippen's Version of the Truth, Calls it 'BS'

THE HERD - Colin Cowherd rips apart many of Scottie Pippen's claims regarding what happened back in the glory days of the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. Colin calls Pippen's version of events BS and sets the record straight about why Phil Jackson ran a crucial play for Toni Kokoc over Pippen.

Maybe I watched a different cut of The Last Dance, but I swear I remember the documentary telling Pippen's origin story in a pretty good light, highlighting how Jordan wasn't able to turn the Bulls into a winner until Phil and Scottie got involved, and spent a fair amount of time on how unfair Krause was to Pippen in the latter years. Last Dance was not throwing Scottie under the bus, not by a long shot.

I totally agree. Scottie threw himself under the bus.

Yes. Michael Jordan called Scottie Pippen the greatest teammate he ever had. He also said,”There’s no Michael Jordan without Scottie Pippen.” Why would he throw him under the bus! It’s pure jealousy . Without Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen would’ve been a good player, but not a great one. It’s just a fact.

[@tysonclarke012]

Yeah I saw Scottie in a positive light after watching that. The only time I thought poorly of him was when he said he would do it that way again. But that's not on Michael. That's on Scottie. Even still, it wasn't a big deal to me. But this here, sucks. Scottie is exhibiting qualities I don't like in a person. But, that probably just makes me racist now too.

[@redpillfreedom6692]

One thing I'd like to point out is that Kukoc was not a basketball rookie in 1994, he was just an NBA rookie. By the time he came to the Bulls he had been a professional player in Europe for 7 years and he had played in many big games in the Olympics and Yugoslavian league. So he was already a veteran in clutch moments. That said, Pippen had been in the NBA for as long as Kukoc had been a professional and still hadn't developed a clutch gene, which is why Jackson went with Toni.

I don't understand this "Jordan did Scottie wrong in The Last Dance" stuff. It's like I was watching something very different then those have this mindset. MJ has continually been complimentary towards Scottie (including in The Last Dance). It just seems that people forgot about all the good things showed about Scottie and how people were really sad on his behalf about that horrible contract he had but only remember all of his low points (that had nothing to do with Jordan)that were showed. How is that MJ's fault? Even though it was a "MJ" doc, it was also a Bulls doc and they had to show what the Bulls did while Jordan was away playing baseball. They showed how great Scottie was in the first season without Jordan but it also showed what happen in the playoff series with Knicks that season. That play they couldn't gloss over in the doc. As much as they showed MJ's good stuff about him, they didn't shy away from him about "Republicans wear shoes too" thing, his gambling issues, treating Kukoc terrible during the 92 Olympics, punching Steve Kerr in the face or his very competitive drive that made him look like a crazy person.

Scottie has always been his own worst enemy. He has folded under pressure numerous times. First there was the migraine during the deciding game against Detroit. Then the Phil / Kukoc Last Shot incident against the Knicks. Then he threw a chair after a confrontation with a ref. Then he didn’t have surgery during the offseason in 1997 like he was supposed to and missed nearly a third of the 1997-1998 season due to rehab. Scottie chose all of these actions (except for the migraine).

Agree with Colin here. And the problem with Scottie is that he is talking a lot without any tangible proof. Where is the proof that Phil was a racist in that situation? I saw Bill Cartwright being upset with Scottie rather than Phil. If the Kerr shot was made for the cameras, even though at that time in 97 there was no intention of a documentary, so does that mean that Paxson shot in 93 was also for the cameras? If Michael really wanted to damage Pippen, he would have brought up the 1994/95 season when the Bulls were 23-25 before the All Star Game and 34-31 before Jordan came back and took them to 47-35, and throughout the whole season, he pouted and demanded for trade left, right and center.

Interesting. Two things I NEVER hear concerning Scottie Pippen. I never hear ANYONE mention Jordan making Pippen the player he became. Upon his arrival in 1987 he didn't even start for the Bulls and he didn't become an All-Star until the 1991 season, so all of this great help for Jordan had to be developed. Secondly, while everyone mentions how Pippen led the Bulls when Jordan departed and they came a game away from defeating the Knicks in the semi-conference, NO ONE EVER mentions the NEXT SEASON, when the Bulls had a losing record before the return of Jordan who led them to the playoffs. That second season without Jordan, showed Pippen what was like to play with less talent and ability around him because of the departure of Grant and Armstrong- AND HE WASN'T FARING TO WELL.

And to add to what Colin is saying, Scottie always did crap that would just down grade him from being considered a number 1. Missing shots in the 4th quarter or just disappearing all together, the 1.8 seconds playoff game (as Colin said), him throwing a chair across court during a game earlier in the season before Jordan came back, the migraine headache against the Pistons in the playoffs because he was stressed out from playing the Pistons, fouling Hubert Davis while he shot a dang near half court 3 at the end of a playoff game, and some other things.

I’m from Portland and I remember Pippen as a blazer VIVIDLY….he never came through in the clutch it was Damon and Sheed, in the game 7 vs the Lakers in 2000 Pippen did absolutely NOTHING. He didn’t want to answer for the failures he didn’t want to be accountable.

[@TL2354]

Yes

[@richardjackson5670]

The crazy thing is, if you grew up watching the Bulls, you’ve seen the evidence of most of the games the Bulls played. So, no matter what Scottie says, unless we missed something with our own eyes, it’s a lie! What’s even crazier is Scottie believes he was better than he really was, and that’s so sad! He looks so much worse now than he’s ever looked!

Jordan didn't minimize Scottie a lot of people didn't know about how he didn't get surgery like he was suppose to in the off season, yet people remember him not coming into the game, because the play wasn't for him, getting ejected for throwing a chair, signing a bad contract that everyone inculding the owner told him not to sign. That's not Jordan's fault. Jordan always said he wouldn't won chips without Scottie and called him the best teammate he ever had.

Scottie was a phenomenal basketball player! But with that being said… He was very ‘iffy’ in the clutch. There was many times- even when Michael was back with the Bulls- last minute plays were drawn up for Tony Kukoc , as well as for Michael Jordan. Both of them were money shooters. Michael did not complain, because in the heat of the moment you have to go with the hot hand. I don’t know if it’s to get publicity for his book, but Scottie knows these things… And it sad to see him appear so bitter about it.

[@wesleypollas6326]

Scottie is totally missing the point here. Phil wanted him to be a decoy at the moment.👌Another reason why he's bitter is that Phil trusted European rookie sensation, Toni Kukoc there more than him.👉 Toni made 5 game winning shots that year. Phil drew the play for Toni and, he made a 20 ft fade away over the outstretched hand of defensive stalwart Anthony Mason. If Toni doesn't make that shot, the Bulls would've lost in overtime and would've gotten swept by the hated Knicks.✌In making that shot the series was extended and, they lost in 7 hard fought games. The goal is to win the game and Toni had a heroic Jordan moment, justifying Phil's faith in him 😏 Scottie's selfishness nearly wrecked the delicate chemistry of the team.😒 He wanted so much to be the leader and alpha dog of the team but he was always the sidekick or the great supporting partner. He won multiple championships and he was still recognized for being a great player. He needs to leave the past and all that negative nonsense behind him. This is really getting old, tired, and pathetic in my humble opinion. I'm certain if you ask any fan or sports analyst who's familiar with Chicago's dynastic run in the 90's, they'd say the exact same thing.✌

[@FunwiththeCoopers]

Mj said it too he don't win 6 championship without scottie.

[@ShaunHensley]

Both things can be true. Scottie can be absolutely indispensable and not able to put a team on his shoulders. If Scottie wanted to be seen as that level of a talent, Scottie would have needed to go head to head with Michael and take it from him.

[@fresh2def23231]

Jordan is actually being nice..put Kemp, Penny, glen rice, Gp, Steve Smith, Allen Houston..I can go on n on ..Jordan didn't get out first round because of pippen because pip was 7 th man on bench. And when he became a starter bulls lost most of time because pip didn't show up and Jordan 35+ wasn't good enough....I'd say Horace grant rebounding was more important than pip before 91. . until pippen got serious hit the gym and started working out with Mike and the breakfast club crew

Pippen thinks it is all about getting a last second shot that makes you great. Scottie had just bricked a three before Kukoc hit the last second shot. Scottie barely hit the backboard. Phil was not about to let Scottie smash the backboard to smithereens with another brick or cinder block.
