How Good Was Scottie Pippen Actually?

[JonComdy]

Scottie is a legend. Don’t let NBA players’ post-playing career antics distract you from who they were on the court. PIPPEN WAS THE MAN.

I think what bothers Scottie so much about Mike is how Mike profited so much more than he did. People loved Mike and was becoming the face of the NBA. Not Mike's fault nor was it Mike's problem. Dang Pipp, you a legend too...

Controversies aside, Pip is n awesome player. He's the kind of player that you can insert in any era or team and make instant impact.

Elite defender, capable scorer good playmaker and good rebounder pippen was really an all around star who excelled in both ends of the court

In the 1997 finals pippen he averaged 20 points and 8.3 rebounds 1, 8 Blocks 1, 7 steals a game with a torn tendon in his ankle. He was playing in pain in all 6 games amazing no one hardly brings that up and that's a shame.

10:07 Picture gives me Goosebumps... MJ, Scottie, Rodman, Kukoc and not to forget Harper. Truly one of the greatest NBA Team ever.

Scottie Pippen 🙏🏾 Still one of the greatest player in NBA history.

It was always a joy watching Pippen. He was a unique talent.

One of the most efficient and best two way players of all time. Guy could rebound like a center, shoot and pass like a guard and was the best wing defender the NBA has seen.

[dgsvitoria]

All time defense, elite playmaking, excelent scoring, work ethic, prolific and a team player. That's a franchise player Jordan had as his sidekick.

Pippen was everything back then. I’m thankful I got to watch him play with the bulls for being as young as I am. Even remember having his jersey back then

[makula]

Pip was a great all-around player. He was the perfect fit for MJ. Those 2 were amazing to watch on defense too!

Scottie is a legend & belongs in the HOF!! I watched Scottie when I lived in Chicago, and we loved him there and still do!! Scottie is part of the Jordan/Pippen team that was unstoppable!! We Love You, Pip!!!

[eradicator]

One of the greatest defender of all time! He is lockdown wing defender. Sadly he couldn't win DPOY, since their was Hakeem, Rodman, Mutombo.

How good was Larsa Pippen actually?

She got through Pippens defence, her offensive game in the divorce was superior to Pippens and screened him out of his fortune.

[thedragonlee]

Scottie Pippen was in the category as Jerry Rice.They both played at small schools, then because of there drive and talent, succeeded to Hall of Fame levels.

[dapurofficer]

An athletic big who could run the offense and defend at a high level, his impact on winning was huge... I remember going to a Bulls game in 97-98. Scottie Pippen screamed on Luc Longley! "GET IN THE LANE LUC!" That shit sent chills down my body! He was a true floor general... Pippen was my favorite in the era of Be Like Mike... says a lot when a 10 year old kid sees something beyond MJ.

[ronaldbridges]

Big ups to Pip and the Mambo (RIP) for recognition of the talent Pip had. Dude was my favorite on that Bulls squad and that's who I patterned my ball playing days after years ago

That Bulls/ Pistons rivalry was ABSOLUTELY insane!! It still gives me chills thinking about how savage those games were!
