We have to be honest, who's responsible for today's wimpy play? The players of yesterday. All of those fights and players coming off the bench forced the league to apply rules to prevent that physical stuff. We can't blame today's players when all they are doing is following the rules. I think the league should pull back on some of those rules. Honestly, fans want to see physicality and fracases.
Maybe not too many remember but Fox couldn't guard Scottie when Rick was with the Celtics and Pip with Chicago. Scottie was way passed his prime with Portland and still took this team to a seven game series and they lost because they couldn't make a basket in the 4th quarter of game seven after leading by 15 or 16 points, that says a lot about his leadership, plus he played against a young Kobe and prime Shaq. The man was a beast.
Yep, blame everyone except Scottie for that game 7 collapse even tho that same Blazers team made it to the WCF vs the Spurs the year before and Rasheed carrying his ass in game 7 scoring 30 points while Scottie choked shooting 3/12 fg while getting his ass busted by Kobe throughout the entire game and series 😂🤣🤡😎.
@@michaelbuffington4047 ...well that is the obvious thing. The Blazers were better and had the Lakers number in game 7 the refs wanted the Lakers in 100%. They didn't want Portland-Indiana Finals.

Yeah, most 80s/90s looks skinny and lanky, even Shaq and Malone. Yet when they get fouled hard, they get back up right away and chaos ensues. Nowadays, players look more muscular and wider, even PGs, but when they get a hard foul, they act like their limbs got torn.

@@davidmoody1235 MJ at that point was a team cancer because he still had the mindset of “Its my team”, even though at that point he was a horrid offensive player in terms of efficiency. He’d have destroyed the Blazers from the inside out being on that roster. The original point has some merit too. While MJ is the GOAT, without Pippen he never did anything, never even came close to doing anything in terms of playoff success. When MJ retired the first time, the Bulls were incredibly competitive winning 55 games without him, and being a horrifying ref call away from beating the Knicks in the playoffs. Plus, if MJs peak Bulls had been around in the era where the Celtics/Lakers/Pistons were still the prime version of themselves, he’d at best have 1 or 2 rings. He took over the league when those great teams faded away, and 4 new expansion teams came into the NBA, further watering it down.
@OIP ! didn’t realize you were such a delusional crybaby. I clearly stated how the league was watered down, using facts to back up that claim. You got shut down boy
The league not suspending any of those Lakers coming off the bench on that clip was sus as heck. We all know they had crooked refs but that was on the front office.
I loved this brand of basketball. This made the games more exciting. The league is soft now. This was the last era where a lil extracurricular activitie was allowed.
This was the turning point of the playoffs Rick Fox getting into it with pip Fox never chewed gum once he did he became the lakers enforcer and pippen should've known better especially having Rodman as his teammate that the mind games that were being played And a lot of people other than laker fans know that Mike Dunnlevy led the lakers to the finals and 91
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Rick Fox is the kind of guy I hate if he's on a team I hate (Boston, Lakers, Utah, Phoenix), but would love if he was on a team that I like (Portland, Seattle, Milwaukee, Atlanta).
Jail Blazers were loaded…. Scottie, Sabonis, Bonzi, Rasheed, Jermaine O’Neal, Plastic Man Augman, Detlef Schrempf, Steve Smith, Mighty Mouse Damon Stoudamire, Greg Anthony. They had a shot at the title. But most of the HoF were way past their primes
I love the 90's Bulls but Scottie Pippen brought all this bullying on himself when he would implode and sabatoge the Bulls teams with his selfishness. Phil Jackson knew he was a huge threat to disrupt the triangle and knew how to exploit that in this series and it worked . The Lakers got in Scotties head and thus affected this series in a huge way....
If only the Jailblazers bring their off court antics to the game, they'll be like the bad boys Pistons. If ZBo was already there, Fox will be the first Ruben Patterson

Fox was designated the instigator because in the end that was his best contribution. His game had declined enough that outside of being the instigator, he couldn’t really play anymore. It is seen time and time again with players who really can’t earn their keep but not completely bad. There is still use but very narrow application for their spot on a roster.

@@davidmoody1235 MJ at that point was a team cancer because he still had the mindset of “Its my team”, even though at that point he was a horrid offensive player in terms of efficiency. He’d have destroyed the Blazers from the inside out being on that roster. The original point has some merit too. While MJ is the GOAT, without Pippen he never did anything, never even came close to doing anything in terms of playoff success. When MJ retired the first time, the Bulls were incredibly competitive winning 55 games without him, and being a horrifying ref call away from beating the Knicks in the playoffs. Plus, if MJs peak Bulls had been around in the era where the Celtics/Lakers/Pistons were still the prime version of themselves, he’d at best have 1 or 2 rings. He took over the league when those great teams faded away, and 4 new expansion teams came into the NBA, further watering it down.
@OIP ! didn’t realize you were such a delusional crybaby. I clearly stated how the league was watered down, using facts to back up that claim. You got shut down boy
2 defensive mind teamplayers. I'm glad I watched all this live. Best times. Today NBA is boring.
A team player doesn’t quit playoff games
portlands commentators were heated 😂😂😂. "you may be a pretty boy fox, but you'll get put on your rear!"
They were emotional...🤣
@@daystar73 e mo shan al
Fox understood the assignment. He was a so called pretty boy actor off the court. But on the court he was an enforcer.
The league not suspending any of those Lakers coming off the bench on that clip was sus as heck. We all know they had crooked refs but that was on the front office.
Rick fox was trash talking the whole team lol
If you want to watch two players go at with passion, watch NBA onTNT with Chuck and Shaq. That's the only time you will see some heated rivalry!
Love dthis era in the nba. League sometimes is unberable to watch
I loved this brand of basketball. This made the games more exciting. The league is soft now. This was the last era where a lil extracurricular activitie was allowed.
Exactly. The NBA from the 70's to very early 2000's was the absolute best the game ever has been.
This was the turning point of the playoffs Rick Fox getting into it with pip Fox never chewed gum once he did he became the lakers enforcer and pippen should've known better especially having Rodman as his teammate that the mind games that were being played And a lot of people other than laker fans know that Mike Dunnlevy led the lakers to the finals and 91
mentally pippen was easily to get frustrated
@@alphonsomorris793 true

Scottie was jealous of Rick's pretty face. The Blazers found out you can't punk Pretty Ricky, lol.
LOL Pretty Ricky is what they called him...
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Rick Fox is the kind of guy I hate if he's on a team I hate (Boston, Lakers, Utah, Phoenix), but would love if he was on a team that I like (Portland, Seattle, Milwaukee, Atlanta).
After all that Dick Bevetta says timeout Portland..
Man basketball back then and before..💯
Love when two top 20 players really go after eachother like this
I'll take Scottie over Fox.
Fox is a scrub.
Jail Blazers were loaded….
Scottie, Sabonis, Bonzi, Rasheed, Jermaine O’Neal, Plastic Man Augman, Detlef Schrempf, Steve Smith, Mighty Mouse Damon Stoudamire, Greg Anthony.
They had a shot at the title. But most of the HoF were way past their primes
I enjoyed too much when Dough Cristie hit Fox.
I'm sure that Rick Fox's biggest REGRET in his career. He was known to be an enforcer, and it Blew up in his face after the Doug Cristie incident.
Dough?
@@VS-de7xk Rick Fox played himself in that situation. Period!
@@VS-de7xk doug
Pippen never had fights. Rick Fox was quite the bully. That guy was always fighting
Thats why doug christie upper cut his jaw
Christie landed a clean hard shot an didn't even drop Fox, baby hands Chrissy lol
@@DC-op8fs better watch it in slow motion you will see the color of his nerves in his face lol
@@davecalanda7411 I don't even know what the hell that means.
@@DC-op8fs meant Sacramento would go on to lose...🤣
Love it! Rick Fox at one point smiled like Dennis Rodman!🎉
Fox was just provoking him.
I completely forgot Pippen played for the Blazers
I love the 90's Bulls but Scottie Pippen brought all this bullying on himself when he would implode and sabatoge the Bulls teams with his selfishness. Phil Jackson knew he was a huge threat to disrupt the triangle and knew how to exploit that in this series and it worked . The Lakers got in Scotties head and thus affected this series in a huge way....
That’s not why they lost. But ok whatever helps you sleep better
I would take Pippen ANY day over Fox. Pip can't fall for that foolery!
Just foxy tricks against a legend. Sabonis and Pippen were leaders who deserved much more respect in basketball history.
If only the Jailblazers bring their off court antics to the game, they'll be like the bad boys Pistons. If ZBo was already there, Fox will be the first Ruben Patterson
No they would probably be like the 2005 pistons
Ruben Patterson... The Kobe Stopper
Lol 🤡
weird seeing phil and pippen on opposing teams
So was MICHAEL WITH the Wizards.
I wonder if Phil told Fox to dog Scottie. Phil knew about his temper.
This is fucking amazing!
Damn Jackson Vahue was pissed. He did put 58 points on the bulls though.
Oz
Everyone knew pippen wouldnt stand up for himself so they punked him his entire career...
He was ALWAYS getting punked haha
@@arizonaFIREent Great player athleticlly, and skill wise, can't take that away from him... Jorden never won a ring without him, but he was psychologically fragile... .
Way back was the birth of Baby GOAT kobe RIP💜 🏀 💛
Scottie Pippen, that championship composure without MJ...smh
Rigged ive just watch how reffs cheated Sacramento against lakers to smh
Pippen at 1:02 says here at this ball fox. Rick fox is running towards pippen trying to trip him and he failed. Pippen tosses the ball at him.
Back when you could talk shit without instantly getting a T. God I miss the 80s to 2000s. NBA has basically turned into womens college basketball with the way they call the game.
Its a mind game ...so lakers won the series,its not just playing physical basket ball you also need your mind there..
If you listen closely , I believe Coach Dunleavy ( or Blazer Fan) tell Foxx .. Your a Pretty Boi but you'll get knonked outta the Arena .
U brought me here 🤷♂️
in 94 , 95 admiral angd hakeem were like years before !! he was with out mike and shined .. there was to bigmen above him ... and i think every credit and trophy theyrefused to give him because of mj as the goat
Man I was only like 7 at this time but I don’t remember Fox being a menace like this 😂😂😂
Pip would have busted fox up
Well why didn't he? Nobody was holding him lmao!
Pip never was or never will be built like that
@@Aksionjacksion73 Scottie fine too we all are built different!
@@keishajames9069 he knew he would t do the team any good being suspended in the playoffs. Fox was an imposter
I love this era. This is when I would order NBA Ticket every year. Everyone on both teams would've got ejected nowadays....
What if MJ was not retired and still with Scottie? MJ was still one of best SGs in 2000 if he didn't retire.
It's like Phil used Fox in the Dennis Rodman role. Get under the players' skin.
Now that I think about it, Mike Dunlevey reminds me of a skinny Tony Soprano.
This was definitely Phil Jackson's idea. He knew Pippen was ultra sensitive.
Yep you are right.
At end of the day rick fox got the laugh he won back to back championships while Scottie pippen was in the twilight of his career
Pippen got the final last laugh.
@@DAB901 how pippen got the last laugh they didn't win
@@antonedavis92 he has 6 to his name when it’s all said and done and old men talking around a table. Will be remembered as one of the top 50 to ever play. Fox won’t even be remembered.
Scottie’s got 6. He don’t care 😂
Fox is BUM
the most talent portland has ever had on one team its sad they couldnt get it done
Good old days
Fox was designated the instigator because in the end that was his best contribution. His game had declined enough that outside of being the instigator, he couldn’t really play anymore. It is seen time and time again with players who really can’t earn their keep but not completely bad. There is still use but very narrow application for their spot on a roster.
Where Pippen Missed Jordan He would target them guys on Pip like Mcdaniels or Rodman Or hell As the Bulls matured he would pull scottie away and take it on for him
Rick Fox, Doug Christie, Bruce Bowen, Vlade Divac, Zaza Pachulia, some of the dirtiest players in NBA history!
Man Rick fox was very underrated
No he wasn’t. Mediocre and thuggish
Fox is a punk that’s why he got upper cut by Doug Christie.
Pippen should of decked Rick fox like Doug Christie decked Rick fox in the tunnel in Sacramento
He had attachments in spiritual way. The house he was living in with Vanessa was haunted. #facts

Michael, help me 😫
Lol we ain’t scared of you no more Scottie. 😂😂😂
I wouldn’t be scared either if I knew I had refs playing for us too
I hate that the Blazer choked in that Game 7, that would have sent them to the Finals. I think Pip needed that to get out of MJ's shadow.
Scottie was a shadow of himself with Portland.
Rick Fox > lebron james
Til this day Scottie pippen is still crying 😂😂😂😂😂
thanks to the refs and rigging it against the blazers
Love these 2 guys. Fox and pippen both a takented players back then.
Was Rick Fox as good as Scottie Pippen?
No
If those things happens now pip would suspended for the life time
Rick "Roughneck" Fox
💪🏽🦊
When shaggy used to play for the lakers
I miss the theatrics of basketball the most lol.... Rick knew he could get the blazers off kilter.. Great great playoff series.
