Scottie Pippen: Ultimate Defender

[@AxeSmashDemolition]

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.

The most startling thing is how not one player is covered with tattoos. This illustrates that there was a time when the NBA was populated by the best and brightest players, not thugs and crossed eyed idiots only looking for a multi-million dollar contract. You watch those fools play, and it's the most boring shit you've ever seen, because they don't love the game, only the money.

[@Drazicist]

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.

[@Amick44]

Nothing to add, well said.

[@ChescoYT]

funny thing is, nobody gave a shit about Rodman until he joined the Bulls. Jackson was a genius for recruiting him as he saw the diamond in the ruff! Boy did the bulls elevate Rodman's game even higher! Such an godly team!

[@Drazicist]

Chesco Not true at all. Rodman was a defensive star on the pistons that won 2 championships and was a DPOY before he went to the Bulls, he was actually a shell of his former self when he played with Chicago. Rodman wasn't even Jacksons first choice, he took Rodman by default, Jackson gets far too much credit.

[@rickyandreou]

"The fact that the Bulls had Pippen, Jordan and Rodman on 1! team is almost criminal." As great of a rebound specialist and defense he added he still was nowhere near as valuable to the team as Pippen/Jordan. Don't forget that the team was mostly made up of garbage "helpers".

[@mobetta2092]

Absolutely he would. Pippen was the key to the 1991 NBA finals when he was put on Magic who manhandled MJ in game 1. Somehow Pippen's no where to be found when MJ fans discuss the 6-0 thing. This is why MJ retired in 1998-1999...he knew how difficult things would've been for him with Pippen no longer his teammate.

[@Jenkdog14]

I think his shooting from 3 would be decent, and his switching ability on defense would be incredibly valuable today especially - he could guard the 1 through the 4, maybe even 5 in today’s game.

[@theroseexperience]

He had a lot of trouble against Penny one on one for some reason. Penny generally had his way.

[@futureicon23]

TheRoseExperience I highly doubt that, because perhaps what you have been seeing online are his highlights, which only showcases the good stuff. There's a point that the Bulls' had Scottie guard him for an entire series and beat the Magic 4-0.

[@AxeSmashDemolition]

TheRoseExperience I still remember the game where Horace Grant came back to the United Center for the first time after going to Orlando as a free agent in '95. Pippen was a man possessed in that game and locked down Penny something fierce. I don't think Penny even scored double digits in that game. And in the '96 ECF Penny had a great Game 1 but Pippen pretty much held him to a sub-par series after that on the way to a 4-0 sweep by the Bulls.

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

[@hiphoprbloverjon9180]

+MichaelMick He gets overshadowed by Jordan's stature and aura. Jordan fanatics think he's done it all by himself but I'm sure Chicagoans have a different perspective since I'm sure they appreciate the overall team.

[@Michael-xe3cm]

It's so true. I always think about when people scoff at Lebron being mentioned with Jordan or Kobe. They always bring up Jordan's 6 titles. People tend to forget Jordan had an All-star team playing with the Bulls...Rodman & Pippen are two of the best defensive players in NBA history. Jordan was great, no doubt, but you need team depth to accomplish their wins. The Bulls in 96 have arguably the best defense in NBA history with their length, speed, intelligence, and pure determination. They had Toni Kukoc, the NBA 6th man of the year in 96, who was their 3rd leading scorer for 3 years in a row. Steve Kerr..the list goes on and on.

[@shutterbugblues]

Thank you, let me confirm that you are absolutely correct. I grew up in Chicago, lived there during all their championship runs. Even then, I thought the Bulls were a great TEAM. Jordan was a star component on the team but honestly, even without Jordan, the Bulls were still good enough to be contenders in the East.

[@trentf4891]

Jordan is also one of the greatest defensive players in nba history.

[@papillonvu]

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!

[@СергейПономаренко-д2ы]

Thank you, sir for this! My favorite player of all time!

[@honorfirst7506]

Bruh opposing coaches can’t watch every game of an opponent. But congrats on that accomplishment. Phil Jackson shitted on coaches voting for Kobe, who he watched every practice, & game, still making defensive teams, when Phil, Kobe’s own coach, felt he didn’t deserve it. Tex winters also said the same about Kobe. Now this isn’t saying Pippen didn’t deserve it, but it’s saying that coaching system, is sometimes flawed. Then missing 38 games and making 1st team defense in 1998 is questionable.

[@FuShengAlex]

I'm sorry, but as great as he was it was a big man dominated league those years he won DPOY. The truly best anf more unstoppable offensive players were PF/Cs Even though the Bulls were the most dominant team, there's no argument for his versatile impact on the defensive end being above the likes of Robinson or Olajuwon those years or even Mutombo.

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.

[@datooo23]

Michael Jordan has had enormous impact on Scotties defensive ability. But it took great talent and hard work from Scottie to be able to reach that level of defensive mastery. But there is no doubt that MJ has taught a lot of things to Scottie when he joined the Bulls in 1987

[@doule76]

i totally agreee.MJ made Pip that great defender that he was,thats obvious.Pip had to guard him every day,in every practice.And MJ didn`t take one day off as we know.I cant imagine what it must have been like,to compete every day against the greatest scorer in the game..-

[@_d.v.j.l_2624]

If that was the case than the bulls wouldve been compared to a team like the pistons in terms of defense. Chuck daly was a coach who focused on defense while phil was balanced but more about scoring. Scottie was the only major defensive threat on that team. And before anyone gets butthurt notice how i said MAJOR their were people (like grant) who was good defensivly but scottie was the one who really brought it to the team.

[@datooo23]

The only one who's butthurt is you. MJ was the best defensive player on the Bulls team even after Pippen's appearance. MJ has had more than 200 steals and 100 blocks 2 seasons in a row. There is no doubt MJ has taught a lot of things to Pip. What are u trying to deny? That MJ has had a great impact on Scottie's defense? Don't try that.

Actually Pippen and Jordan used to play one on one, they interviews the whole Bulls team and at one point Pippen had to team Michael to slow down. Michael is the greatest.

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.

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.

[@pobringkabos6177]

my all time favorite nba player pippen

[@poopyheadlebron6773]

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".

likeaRockNroll not only that, I would even go as far as saying that Scottie was all around better assists, steals, and rebounds included

[@theendoffaith5903]

I remember growing up scottie Pippen being my favorite player, I bought his shoes and jersey instead of the Jordan ones… for me he represented the best possible team member any player could have. He did what was necessary for his team to win, totally unselfish, if it was necessary to defend, he chose the best player of the other team to defend, if it was necessary to pass, he was willing to give up shots, if he had to get rebounds, you could count on him, etc, he sacrificed any personal achievement for the greater good of his team. Respect 🫡

[@ContextReallyMatters]

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".

[@ContextReallyMatters]

southsider 35 Draymond is a beast. I think he should have gotten defensive player of the year last year but I can't put him ahead of Pippen yet. If he continues 5o play at that level 5h3n he will have an argument.

[@southsider3542]

Jason Stewart Draymond has had a toughness for a premier defender we haven't seen since Pippen, Rodman, and John Stockton. Maybe it's because I'm an old guy who loved the Bulls more than anybody in the 90s, but I can't stand the Warriors team other than Green. Everyone else just seems one dimensional

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.

[@Rockymist2]

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.

Should have been the 94-95 defensive player of the year, led the league in steals, guarded multiple positions and had great advanced defensive stats

[@shutterbugblues]

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.

[@X02Overdose]

Did you ever hear about Pippen before he was drafted? I think not so stfu. Not trying to take away from Pippen but Jordan made that man the defender and offensive player he was.

[@shutterbugblues]

Did you watch Pippen's rookie season when broadcasters were already predicting that Pippen would become a star? I think not so stfu.

[@OneGloriousBastard]

I heard of Pippen before he was drafted. Most people probably wouldn't know this but the Bulls thought they had Pippen completely hidden before the draft and were at a safe spot to get him. However, many teams saw Pippen's skill in the pre-draft workouts and were very intrigued which is why Jerry Krause went into overdrive trying to move up in the draft to snatch him. Being a Pistons fan I remember an article on Chuck Daly seeing Pippen's skill in the pre-draft camps and was in awe. Detroit's GM Jack McCloskey boldly predicted that Pippen was going to be a superstar before he was even drafted and Detroit desperately wanted to get him but couldn't swing a deal.

[@untouchablemvj]

pippen made MJ it's a fact 1-9

[@X02Overdose]

+mikey James Then why is Pippen not considered the GOAT? Where are his 6 finals MVP's and 5 league MVPs?

[@untouchablemvj]

People forget about Pippen not only being a scorer, playmaker but he was the Greatest Perimeter defender in NBA history and a lot of the nights would guard the other teams best player... Here is Pippens 6 finals appearances and you tell me if he wasn't an all time great 91 Finals =20.8/9.4/6.6/2.4/1.0 on 45% and Goat Defense 92 Finals =20.8/8.3/7.7/1.5/0.7 on 48% and Goat Defense 93 Finals= 21.2/9.2/7.7/2/1 on 43 % and Goat Defense 96 Finals= 15.7/8.2/5.3/2.3/1.3 on 34% and Goat Defense 97 Finals= 20/8.3/3.5/1.7/1.8 on 42% and Goat Defense 98 Finals=15.7/6.8/4.8/1.7/0.8 on 41 % and Goat Defense... Scottie was easily a Number 1 scorer on most teams and he put up these numbers deferring to Michael alot as seen by 94,95 seasons where he scored 22 and 21.4 % on 52 pct respectively ..... He is a top tier player even if he couldn't score 10 points but the fact that he could consistently put up 20/8/7 on Goat defense and he gets no recognition is baffling to me.. He was a better defender than Mj by far and he was also a better playmaker... He was also more valuable than Dwade was to Lebron and anyone that knows basketball knows MJ only won because Of Pippen.. Mj was a loser and 1-9 in the Playoffs before Pippen.. Pippen went on to go to the ECF without Mj in Portland only to get stifiled by a rigged game for a laker win so they could make the finals... It's a joke how MJ gets all the credit and no one even talks about Scottie Pippen.. Fuckin morons
