Brother, you verbatim typed out my thoughts exactly. Listen, I’m from Olympia, WA--I miss having a basketball team to rally behind so much.

I watched The Last Dance documentary about 57 times just to make sure I didn’t like it. 😂 Even back during this era, I was proud of being a Washingtonian because of ALL the big name athletes who came out of Seattle during this timeframe.

Kobe made a study about how brilliant Pippen is with his defense in a video.

[@ktbeatty]

And that's part of the why all the Legends (current and former) all seem to love Kobe. Kobe gave Pippen what he felt (wrongly IMHO) Jordan never did, and what the "sidekick" label took; real respect. Kobe said ""If I'm a young player coming to the league today, I would really focus on the defensive end of the floor and look at Scottie Pippen. I mean, he was a genius." Pippen waited a long, long time to feel that kind of love, and it just happened to come from the closest thing we'll ever see to MJ again. He did similar things for Paul Pierce, Tracy McGrady, and more. Highlighting his respect for them in a way they felt others never had.

Yeah, Rodman played for the Lakers and Mavericks and could have played longer. He basically got blacklisted from playing (same with Rasheed Wallace for getting ejected so often) but Rodman was still a solid player. He could have played a few more seasons in the NBA, what got him in trouble was his history in San Antonio when he had a feud with David Robinson. My neighbor's dad was his limo driver (no saying much, because he had several), but Rodman lived in Newport Beach (California) at the time. I remember he told me Rodman got paid way better when he played overseas.

[@KayRellz]

Rodman wanted the lakers to let him go to Vegas to get right, after he took a week to sign with them partying in LA lol. He always hustled but dude was a head case.

That happen like when Magic said that Jordan told him that there was a new sheriff in town, Jordan has never said that but I imagine it was told between a game .

Pippen was actually 1 win away from possibly facing the Pacers in the finals and winning his 7th ring and most importantly, a ring without Jordan. Pippen was also a win away from the ECF in '94 without Jordan. Jordan cant laugh at Pippen because Jordan has never seen past round 1 without Pippen. Pippen has without him though. Also Pippen accumulated more rebounds, assists, blocks & steals than Jordan in their 6 finals together. Pippen also took the more difficult defensive assignments. Magic put a triple double on Jordan's head. Pippen got on Magic and Lakers didnt win another game that series. Can't be out here disrespecting Pippen.

People who werent old enough at the time to remember will probably never understand the magnitude of MJ's fame/starpower. It was Lebron x10 type of sh1t... Im 37 years old and the only other person that i cant remember being THAT famous and adored all over the world was the other MJ, Michael Jackson. That's it, noone else in the last 35 years comes even close to the stardom of MJ (it's only fitting they had the same initials). Not even Messi/C.Ronaldo/Ronaldinho/Rivaldo/Zidan etc.

[@randybutler1697]

Yeah, but that was an older pippen

Kobe never bullied PIP .

[@joeymiddleton5821]

very true. but did pip stop kobe??

[@lead_guitarist9489]

@joey middleton better question who did? Who could? Pip done better than most.

[@levardotts9026]

I'll have to double check the stats, but I think Kobe only had 18 in that game (and Pippen had 16), so I don't know if that's really enough points to qualify as bulling someone. Especially if all 18 weren't on Pippen.

[@jamesbaclig8789]

In the nba, scorers score. Pippens’ objective was to keep Kobe from driving to the basket, which he did pretty effectively. Pick your poison. You accept Kobe taking jumpers, if he makes them, oh well. There’s no shutting down a skilled scorer.

Pippen was only 33. He was still much older (with a lot more miles on his body) but not by 20yrs and Kobe only outscored Pippen by 2pts in this game. Kobe finished with 18pts.

Come on though. If that was a younger Scottie around Kobe's age. It would have been much different. Kobe just came into the league, Scottie been a work horse for over a decade. You can't really go off of this. It would have been a real battle had Kobe met a young lockdown defender Scottie.
