For Old Time’s Sake: Scottie Boy

Just absolutely demolishing Patrick Ewing. I wonder how different a player he would have been without MJ on his team. One of the greatest defenders the league has ever seen and as polished as can be on the offensive end, would he have been better or worse without him? Wouldn’t have won as many rings but would he have led a team, who knows? I think when he stepped over Ewing he said “Pat, how’s my a** taste?” Did anyone else hear that?

    Erika, jordan won DPOY in 88, do you mean the more deserving player in that roster is PIPPEN 1988? I hope you do not mean that.. And i think that revealed you are just hatin’..

    LOL, no preferential treatment since? Have you not been following the career of LeBron James? He didn’t even have to earn it like Mike did.

    Best 1point-dunk ever :p

    Ewing did get boomed on quite a few times. That happens when you actually rotate on D to help out your teammates instead of just watching from the weak side like most of today’s players do. Ewing was also under the notion that he could block everything, so he got a lot of Spalding in his mug. No player in the league’s history got dunked on more than spaghetti-man Shawn Bradley. Dunking on Bradley was such a customary practice that it even got its own nickname: Bradley baiting. Young players in the league hadn’t made their bones until they threw one down on Bradley. So many sick dunks, but I think Ed O’Bannon got him the best with a powerful lefty cram.

    Just came from the Magic article and this is another article worth discussing, LOL. I don’t think there is a more underrated player than Scottie. He was the best perimeter defender I’ve ever seen, guarded the best player on the team 1-4, primary ballhandler and was good for 20-5-5. I’m sure MJ busting his ass in practice everyday helped make him great but Scottie’s game complimented Mike’s game perfectly. He did all the dirty work like guarding the best guy and handling the ball that kept Mike fresh to score all those points and he still got his. And Mike was nowhere near Scottie as a defender. And someone above said Scottie > Kobe, I don’t know if that’s true but if I were starting a team, I would probably take Scottie over Kobe cause if the other team has Kobe, Scottie would lock him down…… And this is the best dunk in an NBA game by the way.

    If that happened today, Mike Breen would be complaining about how there is no place in the game for Pippen’s attitude and how a real champion doesn’t need to do all that. Betcha.

  • Erika Badu

    @Omar, by that logic wouldn’t you take Scottie over MJ?

  • Omar

    No ma’am, because I’m not sure he would shut Mike down, we need someone from those old Bulls teams to tell what was up!

    Yo j. C’mon man. U serious? Pip IS getting his dues!? He gets unnoticed and not enuff credit all the time by the media. Tru hoops fans know that back n the day pip was an animal str8 up. Media 2day when praising coach phil only mention jordan kobe and shaq as the superstars he has guided. Where’s the luv 4 #33?..and that ewing facial? My favorite pip moment. Most underrated dunk ever IS the best in game dunk EVER. And as sick as that dunk pip had on charles smith where pip landed on his backside this 1 on patrick chewing was illmatic. 1st he lays the BOOM on him then he shoves him n2 the luvabulls,walks over him and then tells spike “clocker”lee 2 sit his ass down. Hilarious and awesome moment 4 all bulls fans who truly hated the knicks. Still hate the knicks 2 this day
