“Pippen wanted to guard everybody, and he did guard everybody” -Magic Johnson
Same thing with draymond. He literally guards the entire team. He often goes from defending a guy in the paint to defending a guy on the perimeter half a second later, then back again to defending a guy in the paint and so forth.
asdf asdf that’s team defense 😂
@@kalix975 uh i dont get it. whats so funny?
Eduardo Garcia
Didn’t guard his wife from Future though did he? 🤭
@@asdfasdf-cg7ge thats Litteraly how basket ball defense works
Put some respect on the 4x Defensive player of the year Ben Wallace
BrittanyYuTb Draymond is more versatile, though
underrated.
BrittanyYuTb Draymond didn’t play when Ben Wallace did so the 4 defensive player of the year awards mean nothing...I’m not disagreeing with u but awards mean nothing if the players you’re comparing didn’t play at the same time
Brandon Ohara It means he was the best defender in his field...which is an accomplishment but the talent in the league isn’t always at a constant...so comparing players of a different time using accolades doesn’t really make much sense because kawhi is a better defender than both of them and only one of them has to compete with kawhi for DPoY
Best defenders ever: 1) Bill Russell 2) Pippen 3) Garnett 4) Ben Wallace 5) Bowen 6) Tony Allen 7) Artest 8) Pat Bev
"Scottie Pippen:
Dunked on Ewing really hard

That had me 😭

@@nolimit4484 lmao 😂
Can we just take a moment here to appreciate Scottie Pippen’s rather intelligent answer to the question. Instead of saying something like “he don’t play defense like we used back in the old days”, he actually provided a thorough analysis and capped it off with a proper and truthful conclusion.
I love the way you say that
DENNIS RODMAN...6'7" Guarding SHAQ, A Real Center...
He should be brought up immediately whenever defense is mentioned
Pavlovian Dog LLC thats the 1st thing that came to my mind.
He locked him down.
yeah 1 on 1 too. Rodman was a freak of nature, people just don't understand.
@@tehutibrim594 Rodman was a beast and a amazing rebounder.
Notice how scottie pippen doesn't call himself the best defender even tho he could easily be over Draymond anyday
Thats what oldschool people have. Class. Humility
Defensively? Dreymond is top 3
Taifa Haynes 😂😂😂draymond is trash at defense.
@apokplis lord draymond is good at defense just not too 3
Draymond is nowhere good as a defender. He maybe top3 on present day NBA, but nowhere on the top list being a good defender
0:30 Scottie's profile info though 😂😂😂
Bruh 😂😂😂
‘Dunked on patrick ewing....REALLY HARD’ 😂😂😂
"Secretary of Defense" LMAO
All facts though
Thanks for bringing attention to this, I missed it the first time through :D
Pippen is probably the most underrated athlete ever, this dude is 🔥.
Same with Rodman. Both guys are seriously underrated because of their proximity to Jordan.
jordan was both his curse and his blessing.
all that 1vs1 he played with jordan made BOTH of them even better, as they kept each other sharp.
but playing in the same team as the goat meant he had to live in his shadow. good thing pippen is a wise and self-confident person. someone less humble would have broken off......
@@sabin97 lol Rodman had two rings before going to the bulls and pippen didn't get traded to the bulls who knows if mj would have six rings because scottie got drafted to the supersonics with Kemp if they kept him the wouldn't been one of the best defensive team with Gary Payton
Way more overrated than underrated. Many people put Pippen in the same league as Lebron, Kobe, and Durant when he was a tier below them. People say Pippen is the greatest defender which is total nonsense. Olajuwon, Jordan, and Wilt were easily better on defense.
@@Ryenobal i wouldnt put lebron near kobe or pippen. he doesnt have the minset needed for that tier.
pippen is one of the greatest defenders of all time.
After what Pascal Siakam did to him, he will never call himself the best defender again.

Really makes you appreciate how humble the old era was.
The previous generation literally calls everyone cupcakes now and that the game was wayy harder back then. How is that humble
@@saipabbati1983 Because it's a fact. Look at how fouls were called back then vs today. You can't touch guys like Harden or he'll complain to the refs about it being a foul. He wouldn't be scoring so many points if he played in the Jordan era where people could knock you upside the head and the refs would allow the game to play on. Big difference dropping 40 then vs dropping 40 now.
Yo Gotti that’s just a myth, people would get called all the time for hand checking and stuff. People are just smarter nowadays in defence and don’t need to resort to violence all the time when someone crosses them up
It depends who you choose as subjects. Klay, Steph and Kemba are very humble guys.
@@saipabbati1983 Yeah also there was no zone defense. So it was a little easier to beat defenders.
No one greatest defender ever. Pippen's answer is right on. I'd take Rodman over Draymond any day.
No doubt in a really top 5 five list he can't be there...
Rodman could guard a prime Shaq 1 on 1 too. I don't see Draymond doing that.
Yep and Rodman can get in your head with his antics.😅 The worm
i take garnett over green all day. hahahah
@@practicaldriver Nah... Shaq was 80 lbs bigger. Rodman had a mental edge but physically he was just annoying like Pat Beverly. I don't consider that elite defense. It's just mental trickery. Mutombo was an elite defender... That's a real, scary one who averaged 5 blocks per game.
Dennis Rodman defended on magic, jordan, pippen,malone,shaq,kemp,ewing etc..and Draymond had five 5 blocks in a game a called himself the best defender of all time.
EXACTLY
You're dumb asf if you think it's only based on that game
Dray defende KD LeBron AD Kawhi and a lot of other players don't be dumb
Derrick Iverson and he didn’t defend them well
@@reiner1146 You don't know how basketball works do you?
Derrick Iverson I do in fact
21 months later, he still talking crazy
Scottie is so ridiculously calm, composed, humble, and honorable. Man is a true legend, and has a voice of a narrator. I have myself agreeing to most of what he says, a great basketball mind and humble champion.
Scottie was right : the guy should have never asked that question.
Draymond was also right : it was his personal belief, and not imposing his opinion for others to believe - he just answered how he feels
Exactly
I will say as a defender having that confidence is key. The best defenders do not hesitate what so ever that comes with confidence. So many great defenders even good ones at lower levels will overrate themselves especially in the moment it’s just what we do. Hell I played soccer and was a very good defender and thought I could defend Messi for a bit if I had to. 😂 Now that’s preposterous, but my point is I was so confident in myself even after mistakes that you would have to prove me wrong. Draymond is the same I respect that 💯
MJ believes he's the GOAT everyday, but what I like about him is that he doesn't say it explicitly
@@princemjbp695 "if you are the not best believe you are until you become the best"
Exactly. Everyone out here saying he’s stupid or retarded for saying himself. What do you expect him to say? Do they expect him to not believe he’s a good player?
Jordan, Pippen and Rodman get my vote for most hellish defensive trio...
They were like bloodthristy defenders.
@@marcoroy68 Yep. I would only face them if I could get their autographs and then I would immediately surrender...
TRIO..DONT FORGET RON HARPE. He gets so slept on defensive wise and with good reason standing next to Pip MJ. Rodman. But ron use to lock up PGs and had enough to switch on Defense if necessary. BRILLANT Coaching and Scouting honestly. Thats why im going with the clippers this year. Other teams tried to build teams to out score GS But the clippers built a team to stop them from scoring. You dont need a bunch of 3 shooters if the other team aint making no 3s.
Excuse my long ass paragraph. Got so deep in thought when it comes to basketball. Lol.
GP is better
Pippen’s humility is on another level 🤯.
Dennis Rodman is the greatest defender in NBA history. Could guard all five positions, no question, and dominate a game without scoring a point.
Draymond can improve the defense IQ of his entire team and direct traffic while playing defense.
@@T1Oracle but can’t play man to man on the best, or even 2nd best player on some teams. How can that be the best defender…? The question didn’t say, “what defender affects their team the most”
Best rebounder in History!!!
There are like 10 defenders above him stop calling him the best defender ever to that overrated fraud
@@Chris-2bruh Dray literally shutdown Dame, and a lot of 1st and 2nd option players. Literally clips that back it up lol. And he led the league during their last title run in onball defending before he got injured. So y’all really just be saying whatever, and yes Pippen did spoke some false statements when he said Dray doesn’t guard the best players on the floor.
So much class from Scottie and crazy understanding of the game (obviously). Absolutely nailed it.
@Erik Lerström yeah but stockton was a great passer and shaq is big af so yeah he knows what hes talking about
@Erik Lerström But he explained it perfectly. He could have just named people who were better and moved on. But he explained why draymond was good at what he does, and then why he wasn't the best defensive player. He's not up there cause hes a analyst hes up there because he knows basketball and that's what hes explaining proper basketball.
You know pippen is itching to say facts when he making them papers straight 0:27
@Erik Lerström "just because it was a famous person who said it"? Wtf man? Yeah, i am a pippen fanboy, you bet that. Well, if you really think that everyone knows basketball (except our moms), let me remind you that most people try to decide "who is the goat". Throw a "Lebron James is the goat" or "Kobe is the goat" in a comment section and watch what happens.. Seriously, a pretty big amount of people have no idea what they're watching. Throwing some facts (that you or me might think they are obvious) is not a bad idea at all.
Where's kobe
Did you read Scottie's intro??? "Dunked on Patrick Ewing really hard"😂😂😂 but you gotta love the "Secretary of Defense"😉
Best perimeter defender: Payton MJ Pippen
Best interior defender: Bill russell Hakeem the dream Wilt Ben wallace
Best versatile defender: Rodman
And there it is
rodman isnt versatile, he can guard but he isnt versatile as green.
The word "defender" shouldn't even be used in today's NBA.
Do you watch games or just be nostalgic about old basketball? Plenty of defense is played, numbers are only higher because the game is played at a much faster pace
Sam Crowley I’m no 80’s NBA sympathizer but none of the top 5 defenders of all time are currently playing. Also to suggest the ONLY reason numbers are higher is because of the pace is ludacris. The game is completely different in terms of off/def strategy compared to 40 years ago. It’s a shame we don’t see real defense until the playoffs
@@DeadshotGaming-rl4mb You're obviously ignorant and using the word "nostalgic" to guilt other casuals into ignoring your lack of NBA expertise. The game can ONLY be played at a much FASTER pace by watering down the defense. So even your own sentence doesn't make a lick of sense. This is what happens when sensitive fans respond with childish emotions instead of logic. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean that you know what you are talking about. So, don't @ me. I know you're mad, now, lol.... go study. But we all know you won't. Because you are not a real NBA fan.
Maybe if the refs stop calling foul for everything littel thing they might start playing defense
yhe game is played at a faster pace because there no real defence the defender camt make contact without it being a foul
Remember when MJ retired for the first time, Scottie Pippen had a breakout year, had a near MVP level performance on both ends of the court.
As soon as KD left and Klay & Steph got injured Draymond Green averaged a TRIPLE SINGLE and his defense is now laughable at best there's just no effort to it.
OBG Jay triple single! 😂 loved when Barkley said that.
@@jamsjr44 Sir Chuck keepin' things real and we love him for it
Draymond is too fat
Thank you OBG Jay. People tend to forget that about Pip. He led the team during MJs absence and even took them to the playoffs
Absolutely true, Scottie the greatest defender of all-time was indeed going crazy in any possible level, and still on defense too and even more, Draymond has his normal triple single every game lol
“Dunked on Patrick Ewing really hard”😂😂
Year later and he said it again 😂😂😂
Was waiting to find this 🤣🤣
@@patrickwagner3999 same !!!😂😂😂
There once was this homeless guy with asthma that played great defense who played with three different nba teams and won five championships. I think his name was Dennis Rodman.
Best defender averaging a triple-single this season. 😂
Offense is different from DEFENSE😒😒
Lol
Barkley got him with this 1
Draymond is not an offensive player, he is a great defender and one of the most intelligent players of the modern era. Your claim of best defender averaging a triple-single is obsolete. Tony Allen was an amazing defender but didn't have mind boggling offensive stats. Long story short. This is an unrelated claim.
@@jwiguy6547 but tony allen is not walking around claiming he is a HOF or that he is better than barkley..

That shit was petty
Is any ESPN talk show necessary?
I was about to comment this 😂
Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon was the best defender of all time.
Totally true. #1 in blocks and #9 in steals. Only big guy in the top 10 of steals list in history. Pippen knows guys like Olajuwon is better but he thinks he’s the one of best defenders ever.

Umm guys, i think its a tactic ?, cuz if u put ur best defender to guard ur opponents best player he hav more higher chance to get more fouls early in the game, specially if u dont hav many big guys that can fill up the paint.
Sorry for my english, not my primary language 😊
Draymond is more of a team-defense kind of guy. He is the fastest switch defender. Him and Steph are the fastest pick-and-roll combo in NBA history. For the job he has and the era he is in; he is the best for those specifics. But he isn't the best defender when compared side-by-side among other greats.

Kareem Sears Ben Wallace Hakeem Tony Allen
Green's been the best defender along with Kawhi in the past 4-5 years. The fact that he's so criminally underrated shows you that no one values defense anymore nowadays.
Ben Wallace hands down 4 defensive players awards
Rodman Hakeem pippen mj Payton Ben Wallace ron attest mutombo Draymond all up there
Kawhi is better. Best current defender
that was actually a good answer from scottie. there's a lot of facets to playing good effective defense. on ball, help/weakside, rim protector, clogging the lane. some are a jack of all trades and others are masters of one. both being very effective in stopping the other team. hard to name an absolute best.

This, along with Bill Russell is the right answer. Both of them could not only guard true centers, but could also guard the perimeter in their athletic primes. Only 2 in my opinion to be able to guard 1-5 in an elite manner.

If he was lebron you all would say that he is arrogant
Confidence is dangerous especially when it is unwarranted .. Draymond aint shit .. I can defend better than him
Id have to say Bill Russell as the undisputed GOAT of Defense. He is The Godfather of Defense. He played in a time before the DPOY but he revolutionized how defense and how the center position was played. He was 6’10 with a 48” vertical and was fast enough to keep up with any player his size. He was a tremendous on ball defender and was/is one of the greatest shot blockers of all time. Russell revolutionized Defense from a basketball IQ standpoint and his legacy still stands as the greatest in terms of defense imo

Scotty is so humble. The real reason for the Bulls sustained success in the 90s. Facilitated the team offensively, defensively and basically played for free in the later years enabling the contracts to work as a super team.
Scottie is one of my favorite players along slide Jordan an Rodman Larry bird and pistol Pete
This dude Draymond loves to stir the pot. Lolol. Scottie is so humble in his responses.
He's not even the best defender on his team... that's Iggy and while I'm at it Klay Thompson is an amazing defender doesn't get enough credit
Hey I don't mind him saying it though. Even if they're wrong, he is supposed to think he is the best defender. Jimmy Butler probably thinks he is the best player in the league. That's how these guys think. I remember James harden said something similar a few years ago about being the best player in the world but he ain't close.
Bruh idk about that
he anchors that defense his rotations are on point. Only thing iggy got on him is he can chase the pg around better at situational times.
@@christopherlee4181 on ball defense is a harder skill.
Iggy isn't a better defender than Draymond even he won't tell you that lmao. Draymond consistently in the DPOY running and should have 2 of them by now. He's the guy who let's them run a switch heavy D, he's containing more pick and rolls, he's guarding more bigs down low, he's making the call outs and decisions on adjustments. He's their Swiss army knife on defense he's active on every facet of defense you can aks a guy to be. Klay and Iggy are great 1v1 perimeter defenders but there's a reason Draymond gets DPOY votes over them

Not even better than Kawhi
Exactly, where's Green finals MVP award?
Yes the fuck he is. Kd dropped 51 on his head this fucking season without steph
@@BiraDaniele finals mvp just means u had a great series. Not career idiot. Who u see kawhai guarding in the post? Draymond guard every position
Emo DaDon no the fuck he’s not.
Kawhi's defensive rating hasn't been too good this year, soooooo?
They should have brought Charles Barkley in. I would have loved to see him laugh hysterically at "Mr triple single"
The tone of scottie when he said "ever" is actually scary
So Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen never existed huh draymond 🤦🏾♂️
TheStepChild 19 Dennis wasn’t guarding guards and pippen wasn’t guarding the post. I ain’t sayin draymond better than either of them but arguments can be made
Pippen guarded Barkley and Malone. Wtf u talkin bout.
@@jasonspades7775 Right! There's video of him doing just that. Lol
@@DwadeFL4SHMV3 That's not true Dennis guarded Jordan is he not a guard. Scottie was guard Malone for stretches. There's video of them doing this.
@@jasonspades7775 DG guarden LBJ and elite bigs and elite guards
Scottie is so humble. Love the 90s bulls!
Who’s here after he said it again🤣
I was confused when I saw “ 1year ago”
3 of the best defenders of all time (at their respective positions)played on the same team. Michael, scottie and Rodman.
Good players praise themselves.
Great players let others praise them.
Just sayin.
Green knows his role. He's the emotional leader of a championship team. The guys in that locker room know what players Green looks up to and what film he watches. You don't need to know that. All you need to know is that Green projects confidence so that his team can continue to win.
trojandarkhorse Muhammad Ali praises himself all the tome and we all know how great he was. I don’t mind people believing in themselves. You have to believe it deep down to be great at what you do.
Plus ALL great players praise themselves...they just don't do it in public..
Lebron said he is the GOAT, MJ has never said such a thing. You proved my point.
@@paul3030 exactly, bout to say that.
Much respect for Scottie Pippen, thank you for all the great memories.
Dennis Rodman has to be in the conversation.
If not even the best
i love how pippin doesn’t just give himself he gives credit to others
Scottie so humble yet we have seen you my homie
Rodman one of the best, pippen as well. I like pippen being humble there.
Olajuwon was way better on defense than pippen and rodman its not even close and you can throw in payton also
"When you're GOOD at something,
you'll tell everyone
but When you're GREAT at something,

Stockon over payton anyday
Mans really gonna forget Rodman smh🤦🏻
Yes they were the Best
Shiit that's a lie Dennis Rodman to me is the best defender ever in my opinion 5 Championships and Consecutive Rebound Champion and defensive player of year....
Rodman couldnt do shit against Hakeem in 1995.
Green is foolish. Rodman has to guard Shaq, Malone, Mourning, etc. Green is a loud mouth blocking 2nd rate players.
@@michaprostko-prostynski520 you mean Robinsin right
We have to admit after Draymond gets a block steal rebound point pass or more he thinks hes the g.o.a.t
DR was a beast his crazy ass...lmao🤣🤣🤣
Green couldn't guard Lebron, and Warriors have to put Iguodala who's a great defender as well!
Fr. He don't even guard the best player wing player on the other team! It's Klay if it's a guard or Iggy if it's a forward like Bron. Draymond not even top 5 defensive players ever. He's been getting cooked by McCollum since 2017 playoffs.
Lebron always uses screens for a switch to get good defenders off of him that’s why you see curry on him a lot
@@matantm7815 Dont lie
OrlandoMagicFan4Life lets be real you hate Draymond. CJ been cooking him REALLY? Lol they havent beaten us in the playoffs EVER in the past 3 years so idk wtf youre talking about. Hes a DPOY and a 3 time first team all defense to say hes not in the discussion is pure biased ignorance. So now every Power Forward that doesnt guard Wing players full time 1v1 all game is a scrub on defense? Lol thats literally every PF in history.
why would u put draymond on Lebron if u need Draymond to run the offense. That makes no sense.
PG: Payton (9x D First Team, DPOY)
SG: Jordan (9x D First Team, DPOY)
SF: Pippen (8x D First Team, 10x All D)
PF: Duncan (8x D First Team, 15x All D)
C: Garnett (9x D First Team, 12x All D)
Scottie Pippen's answers are always so intelligent and polite.
