I read the book. He did not bash Jordan, he actually praised Jordan throughout the book, He just said that they didn't really have a relationship off the court. But mainly it was about his career.
Interesting, a lot of people are quick to judge
Waxq
@mm4350 Actually, this is not true.
Nah i also read the book. He attack Jordan plenty. Paxson also. Funnily enough he admit paxson apologize for the last dance, even tho pax don't have to, and what pip said in his book? Pip say "I don't care" even in his own words he is an a-hole
And that excuses him bashing basically anyone and everyone who helped him just to sell his book. You’re a mark.
Guys please CZcams MJ's 97 Finals MVP acceptance speech where he calls Pippen over and tell Pip the he's MJ's MVP. Take a look it blows Pippens whole argument out the water
exactly, MJ always speaks highly of Pippen, even in his Hall of Fame speech
Scottie has the right on his feelings after docu however it does not worth to estroy a bright career and shiny memories
@@shahrokhshahsavari6027
The Last Dance mentioned what really happened. If Pip was so mad about it then he shouldn't have acted that way in 1994. Lol.
MJ was too nice for real. He was trying to make crybaby Pippen happy cause he knew Pippen was getting screwed on this contract. Years later we see there's no making some people happy.
@@Riri-oj1zs everyone signed off on the documentary before it aired.
Scottie Pippen was and still is HUGE over here in Europe/Switzerland. You could spot Pippen jerseys all over the continent. I owned two of his jerseys, the one with the Bulls and the one he wore during the olympic games 1992 in Barcelona/Spain. Wish you luck Scottie 🍀
He's right about one thing, you can't be considered the best team ever when you didn't even win the title. That would make no sense.
Well regular season is different than playoffs
@@juswolf22 Without the trophy it means nothing. Then regular season is for fun lol
The last dance proved that Michael was a selfish no good ungrateful son of a b****.. No wonder his dad killed himself
@@juswolf22 regular season is all about qualifying for the playoffs, the playoffs is the real deal.
that's why Phil chose Kukoc to go for the last play instead of scottie. 😂😂
i'm a scottie pippen fan, but i feel like he's hurting his own legacy these days. plus, he's an awkward interview in this... also why he lying? why did he storm off the court when kukoc made that shot? why'd he call phil jackson a racist? if it didn't bother him like he said it in this interview...
he is feeling the backlash now and he is backtracking, but its too late he single handedly ruined his image.
Stop it dummy, he played so many minutes and u still goin after this one minute, u r so lost, no player is absolutely 100% perfect, so why should Pip be? Stop it
@@Kig_Ama it’s called being contradicting to self. He know Toni is the better shooter, if he’s all about bream play he wouldn’t mind letting Toni hit the game winner.
Scotty tells some 'un-diplomatic' truths there (things that happend behind the scenes )..
That MJ was pronably a bit more selfish (even for superstar standards-) ...
Last Dance didnt give it clearly that Scotty was 2-nd player.on that team... by far .. and for long time .. but a bit of dirt on him was dragged out ...
Saying those things to make $ for his book maybe.
I would have named the book ,"Pippen Ain't Easy."
Same haha flow
Lmao mfka you had me rolling
😂
Ok
Scottie really has lost his mind. Dude seriously said he was as great of a player as Micheal Jordan, huh? What is this man smoking we need to find out and sell it
He’s too 20
Top*
@@georgewashington5746 not even top 50
@@Sir-Seaniel ??? Mfs with no rings can’t be higher than him
@@georgewashington5746 I just think Scottie pippen had the unfortunate luck to play with Jordan. Whoever played with Jordan naturally wasn’t going to be able to shine because Michael is alpha #1. If Anybody else in the history of the nba played with mj there careers would be tarnished. It’s just too hard to say how good Scottie would been if he didn’t play with the goat
MJ has always given credit to his teammates, especially Pippen. When Jordan got up to speak at the Hall of Fame ceremony, before thanking his mom, God or anyone else, MJ thanked Scottie Pippen. Scottie has forgotten this.
Pippen: basketball is a team sport. Jordan didn't do it all himself.
Jordan: scores 45 points of the bulls 87 points against the jazz in the finals in a game to win the title.
Pippen talks a lot for someone who pretty much gave up on his team during the last Finals and mailed it in. If it weren’t for Kukoc and MJ, Scottie wouldn’t have that 6th ring but Pip doesn’t want to mention that.
@@Christian-eq6pq not pretty much he did give up on his team. He refused to play because the play wasn't called for him.
@@Christian-eq6pq t
The others had to play defense bruh lol the others still had to score 42
1 game in a single finals game. That's your sample size? MJ's the greatest but don't act like you scored yourself and irrefutable mic drop.
I understand Pippen. Tbh he doesn’t get his credit. They act like all he was was a role player when that wasn’t true. He was Kobe to Mike being shaq. Two different styles of the game. Pip was better than mine at everything accept scoring and he wasn’t a bad scorer at all.
You sir have no idea what your talking about. He was better than Mike at everything except scoring!? 😂
Pip dont do this man. We all respect u, and we know mj doesn’t have 6 rings without having u
Pffffhahahaha
I don't respect him...
MJ couldn't even make it to the playoffs w/o him both in his early days & later years when he was in Washington. Pippen on the other hand, made the playoffs w/o him both in Chicago & Portland. I'm not very fond of either player (Rodman was/still is my favorite player on that Bulls squad) , but I respect their games.
@Beery mans straight up spit lies 💀
Exactly!!
As being a bulls fan, I’ve always idolized scottie pippen and his legacy. But seeing how he acts currently, it makes me think, really man? You can’t call Phil racist because he put toni in for the final shot (who is white) but then claim that it’s a team sport and Jordan was a “solo guy”.. it’s not right, it’s unfortunate but he’s ruining his own legacy. Let it be then pippen! 🙄
I used to be like him and I probably still am like him but everyday I try to be a better person. We have our own vices and we shouldn't judge him for his. We should treat others how we wish to be treated
Forget all that Phil stuff,it’s the jordan comments that got him looking delusional asf 😂
Do u even know the guy behind the scenes
In the book he says although he doesn't regret sitting out in that last play because he felt like he earned his chance as the #1 on the team at least as a decoy on court; he writes that greatly regrets calling Phil Jackson racist. It was a rationalization he convinced himself of as a 28 year old and later realized was greatly misplaced upon reflection.
He specifically said he does not want to talk about MJ, but the headline is still
Scottie Pippen Talks Michael Jordan
He had his chance to prove he was the main guy when MJ left but failed ! Scottie depended on MJ more than MJ ever depended on him. Facts!!
@@Oteopsik nope they don’t need to be praised equally MJ carried scottie, even when scottie joined the team he wasn’t even an all star, if anyone needs the praise it’s MJ, without him consistently pushing his team to be better everyday they would have won nothing! Scottie had his chance to prove himself but he failed and now his playing blame game and hating on his team mates, acting like a victim of racism 🤦♂️. For someone his age he should be ashamed of himself to have to lower himself to get attention in this soft era because it’s really starting to fit him!
@@Oteopsik because MJ was better than pippen….. not even close …. Look at MJ’s career stats compared to Scotties….. I know some would come up and say that stats don’t tell the whole story ….
He never aspired for that because he didn't chase individual accomplishments. Not saying MJ did or faulting him for doing so because he had the talent to do anything he wanted and I love MJ, he's the GOAT. You're misunderstanding Scottie, it's not about taking the last shot, for Scottie it's about being on the court, not out of bounds, during the most crucial moment of the game. Scottie P is a legend you don't know basketball!
@@Oteopsik That's a very lazy Nick Wright type of argument.."he couldn't past the 1st round without Pippen"
I mean there is no way Jordan and the bulls could have survived that 1st round without Pippen and his 8 pt average in his rookie year coming off the bench....just stop it 😂
@@MrCHITOWN247 okay 🤙
Man I feel for Scottie, even his writers name is Michael😟
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scottie was a great player and this is a great interview. Best to you Pip.
Pipen dragging his own name and legacy into mud 😓
He is but I think it’ll blow over. I’m not defending what he’s saying but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt considering his son tragically died this year and he’s probably not in a sound mindset. Idk who knows
@@wm_9640 agreed!! I guess MJ gets the theme too!! He is properly SUSHH over all this. ✅
Scotty needs to realize that Micheal Jordan was Batman, Phil Jackson was Robin, Dennis Rodman was the Cat Women and Scotty was Alfred the butler.
Wrong. Without Pippen MJ wins zero rings. How many did he win before Scotty arrived? ZERO. How many did he win with the Wizards? ZERO. Case closed.
@@eddie195777 i kinda agree, but the years Jordan left, bulls no rings. Jordans returns and rest is history…
@Edward Dean If you don't consider Michael Jordan as a goat. I have a video that shows just that. If see it might change your mind or prefer show it to others. Search for this title : Goat debate of Michael Jordan ends here. Only this video shows it in thoughtful. Copy and paste the entire wording for the search
Scotty tells some true there ..
That MJ was pronably a bit more selfish (even for superstar standards-) ...
Last Dance didnt give it clearly that Scotty was 2-nd player.on that team... by far .. and for long time .. but a bit of dirt on him was dragged out ...
@@eddie195777 Scottie had 2 years to win a chip without Mike. He couldnt. MJ returned and the Bulls won another three peat. Nuff said. MJ was the main reason why the Bulls were the NBA champions
Good interview with one of the best to play the game. Thanks Scottie for all the great memories! You are certainly correct about the spin the media puts on everything! Good luck to you.
Interviewer got that "raised by his grannie" type of energy
I think Scottie should have avoided this. I think the “Last Dance” crossed him, especially after he had Jordan induct him into the HOF. I just wish Scottie had a better support system or at least advisors...
Yep...Scottie is obviously or delusional or wanted to make some noise for better sales
Unfortunately Pip is the example “Never trade respect for attention”
And he talks about being a HOF when he's only a HOF cause of MJ.
@@MarcoRirihena he’s right lol you wouldn’t even know Pippen name if he played with Seattle
I hope you read these remarks Scottie Pippen. Think about something and it tells a lot about you. You sign the dumbest contract ever when you were worth10 times more than you were getting. Jerry Reisendorf told you not to sign the contract but you did anyway.
Then you turnaround and get mad because the Bulls won’t give you anymore money. Then you leave the team to have surgery as a way to get more money. The organization didn’t move and now your saying your as good as Jordan!
You are a dumb ???? really you are. You didn’t need to do anything of this and you would of sold books.
If the last dance was all about Jordan who cares……..you reaped the benefits.
Pippen was the perfect number 2 guy! Now he’s the dumbest number 2 man. That’s like the Jacksons saying they didn’t need Michael. Michael didn’t need the Jacksons……..Jordan didn’t need Scottie he could of had just about anybody as a number 2 man and still won 6. A midlife crisis wild child 50s is a hard thing to shake. Even your mind changes. Stop trying to smoke Scottie with the young guys. Your getting older grow up your somebody’s Dad.
@@MarcoRirihena probably not the way it’s known for now, if he played for Seattle
He should do an audio narration of his book. Just like a soothing bed time story
I wish he did
For real. Dude has the deepest voice in the universe 😆
I saw Scottie's illuminating brilliance during his breakout performances when Jordan left the Bulls. Scottie was hands down a BEAST for real!!
Choked in the 2nd round and needed kukoc to bail him multiple times,Pippen didn’t have the clutch gene
Pipp, as great as he is, could never truly lead a team to a ring. He makes me think of players like Garnett, like Ewing, like penny like mcgrady. Great players but never like Kobe, like lebron like Duncan.
@@suppaman12 Pippen was Lebron before Lebron, except better at on the ball defense. Kobe and Duncan I can see.
He talks about a team game and on the other hand sitting out on the bench because He wouldnt get the final shot. Omg
And he said known what had happened he would do it again.
I said the same thing! He knows deep inside his heart he wanted some shine too
Really guys one of the best basketball players in the history. Pip dunked on everybody, was one of the best defenders, he was not clutch player but still did some key plays….and you are talking only about this 1,8 sec of his career? And this situation did not even affect the game result. They won. What a losers, internet haters who knows nothing about bulls and basketball of the 90s.. probably U watched only Nike Jordan brand advertisements called:” last dance “
@@janickimusic and he said known all what happened he would still sit out that 1.8 second.
@@cudackedees3327 they won, thy to change something?
Scottie needs to sell his book. He is bankrupt. Plus he loses his son 7 months ago. People have to be cool and don't be so aggresive on Scottie. That's why Jordan didn't responde at anything.
finally someone knows whats going with scottie
@@ClumsyRoot It is not good. You didn't understand. Scottie is not only broke financially but psychologically also.
Still don't give him the right to trash another man's name for money when we all know it's lies
And his Wife
Bankrupt? Where do you get your false information form?
He wasn't as great as MJ. Pip was great no doubt, but MJ stood out among the best of the best.
Pippen is a solid player... But “Great”, nah homie he was a good player. What “Great” player averages 17 points a game? Pippen is a sucker. Always has been it seems, and always will be.
factss
@@c.l.taylor8760 scoring is the only way to greatness? Gary Payton..Joe Dumars… Connie Hawkins… Grant Hill… HOFers… all in that 16-17 pts/g for their career…
@@pinkrocko5040 Joe Dumars? Solid player... Great? I don’t think so.
@@c.l.taylor8760 Rodman averaged like 7 PPG for his career what’s your point?
ok but... why is Scottie saying in the last dance: Michael Jordan is greatest player, on ESPN - talks about I would never take Lebron over MJ🙏 wtf
I think Scottie just wants to stay relevant in the media!
Whatever he's going through mentally, some of us are just going to be greatful for his Bulls legacy, and love him unconditionally at this point.
Pippen in his prime 1995-1998 is NBA's top 10 player in history.
Pip & MJ's skill leveled ballooned-up to the next level and playstyle during that 2nd 3-peat attempt.
😂😂😂😂you sound dumb asf
@@Ninjersey1 Actually the person replying with nothing to add to the conversation is dasf
You're too young to have lived thru and see what a killer pippen was on both ends of the court. Anyone that has seen him play a zillion games wouldnt question my post. ;)
@@ChescoYT I’m 43 dumbass I seen it all,you kids just be talking and gassing up players you’ve never even seen,Pippen had one great year and that’s when MJ retired.Pippen is one of the biggest chokers.Always on great teams but without MJ choked hard,choked a 19 pt lead to the lakers on a stacked blazers team,choked against the Knicks in the 2nd round,played terrible on the rockets with Hakeem and Barkley,played horrible in the finals in both 3peats
@@ChescoYT also stick to videos about trying to get women leave the basketball talk to real ballers who don’t need other men telling them how to get women 😂
@@ChescoYT i agree with you ...Anyone who use derogatary and foul language to discredit someone else's opinion ( simply because he doesnt agree) , shows his own immaturity ...Some people say things because they HAVE something to say ....others say things just because they also WANT to say something ...😅😅...theres a big difference ..
Pip: "I don´t recall talking to Isiah a day since I´ve been on this earth" ... EPIC!!! LMAO
Even though I think Scottie is underrated he’s so contradicting. He said I want to be the greatest, I am just as great as Mj, then nobody is truly the greatest and it’s team game. Pick one man. Like it almost seems that if Scottie Pippen was the greatest or considered the greatest this book wouldn’t exist.
Well, he's getting what he wanted--attention for all the wrong reasons. His legacy was tarnished with the last dance episodes and now he's trying to take others down to the gutter with him. Notice MJ has not said a thing about Pippen's antics and speaks volumes of his greatness as a basketball player.
I don't think the last dance tarnished his legacy but this book tour is.
@@jasonwolfe3252 exactly. The last dance didn't show anything that he didn't do, and he was there elaborating in the sit down interview. So if there's something he didn't like he should have said something. he's the one that sat out the last play when kukoc took the shot, he's the one that said on camera "I didn't want to ruin my summer so I used the season to rehab after surgery"
I used to be like him. I blame all my flaws on somebody else. I've lost friends sometimes. I went no contact and am still having no contact with friends because of how ashamed I am. Mental illness is real and I try to become a better person everyday. Take care of your mental health guys. More and more people are being born everyday and the earth isn't getting any bigger and time isn't going any slower. It can be easy to feel small on earth today
Funny how Scotty try to dismiss how he tore down his relationship with MJ through the book but that is literally the only reason why he even got this interview to promote his book
He need to go on a real sport network so they can ask him the tough questions.
So you mean scape brainless or Stephen screamer Smith in fox and ESPN can challenge the guy who according to Phil Jackson is the smartest player to be coached by him?Come onnn
Mj & Pippen the greatest duo
Aw man, Pippen! wth is you talking bout? Of course people glorify winners, the ones with the undeniable drive to succeed, the ones with charisma, the ones that make the difference, the ones that lead, the ones that stand out! How else is it supposed to be? Just because you weren't THE one? Of course we know the Bulls were a team. Everybody won. But you really wanna tell me MJ didn't put the battery in all of y'all backs? smh
I don't think he knows what he is talking about.He is delusional
This interview was awkward on both ends.
No one standing next to Michael Jordan is going to receive the credit they deserve.
💯
Real sports fans, athletes know pip was a HUGE part. Every great dynasty has more than one piece. Birds Celtics had 4, magic and the lakers 3, pistons had 4
What credit didn't he get? Michael always credited him by saying he couldn't have done it without Scottie. Michael put Scottie in his all time team. Scottie was part of the top 50 greatest of all time, Scottie was part of the top 75 greatest of all time, Scottie was part of the original Dream Team. Scottie is considered one of the greatest defenders of all time. That's a ton of credit for a 2nd option.
Now on to the stupid things he did: He signed a bad contract, that is his fault. He decided to be selfish by not coming into the game for a final play that wasn't designed for him, he did all of that. So tell us what more credit does he deserve?
@@khaelz facts! When MJ won the 97 finals mvp he called Scottie to hold the trophy and MJ said Scottie was his mvp! You can tell who just started watching ball when LBJ played
Very true and unfortunately for pip he is the only NBA superstar in history who had to play his whole prime in the same team as MJ. This is the reason why he has to deal with so much injustice.
Did pip just say he was as great as mj? Lol haha. Pippen doing stand up comedy now.
Things would be different if Pippen and the Bulls won a championship in 94 with out MJ.
True but they couldn’t win without a closer and the mental toughness that Jordan brings like no other.
@@Shaquazam what’s your thought on this years Bulls?
Or if he actually helped the Rockets and Trailblazers win.
@@Shaquazam they were robbed in Game 6 of the Eastern Semis. Had nothing to do with the Bulls inability to not close. They were robbed.
I think that year proved without doubt that Scottie can never be a team leader. He is a great player one of the greatest of all times , played instrumental role in winning 6 rings but can not be a team leader. The moment he refused to pass the ball to Toni is the moment they lost their hopes of winning a title. It is quite funny hearing him now talk about team sport after he did that whereas MJ passed the ball multiple times to Paxson in 91 win over the lakers, to Paxson again for the winning shot over the Suns in 93 and to Kerr for the winning shot over the Jazz in 97. That is the real team leader every young player should look up to and no Scottie with all respect to his talent
Jordan: plays a finals game even though he has food poisoning.
Pippen: refuses to enter the game because the play wasn't drawn out for him to shoot it.
Pippen: Jordan is selfish. It's a team game.
Pippen us a hypicrite person, how pathetic
L
Every one should understand if one super star deserves on talking the team he is Scottie. He was a real team player
@@shahrokhshahsavari6027
No. It should be Michael Jordan. He is the GOAT.
it's in all of our DNA. We want people to remember us no matter how significant we impacted this world. The thing is, were all amazing and unique and beautiful beyond.
This interviewee is horrendous. The follow up of questions was just bad especially the one about the 73-9 Warriors. They aren't better because obviously they didn't win the Championship that year no need to ask why. This interview helps Scottie a bit. Scottie doesn't hate Michael and I understand his perspective. Both needed eachother and were the perfect bond.
I hope Scottie talks about why he robbed Aaron Gordon in the dunk contest almost 2 years ago in his book. That dunk was a freakin 50!!! I mean, cmon. Dunkin over a 7'5 Tacko Fall?! How is that not a 50?! AG should've won that year & Scottie (& Dwade) freakin screwed him!! I'm still mad about it because now nobody wants to enter the dunk contest ever again because of rigged judges. We will never have an epic dunk contest like we did w/ AG ever again.
I love me some Scotty!! The "player" the "Bull" was great. Sorry, Scotty the person is "boring". Stop sabotaging your image. Don't forget T K was a teammate too. Last shot!!
Pippen is 22 points per game 9 rebounds is 18 added points 5.6 assists is another 11 points with some insane defence and proven 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
That's 51 points a game he brought
Put that into perspective 51 points per game. That's every game that year.
Yeah he's a legend 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Just trying to ignore all the off court stuff and remember how good it was watching the Great 90s era that was the Chicago Bulls. Everyone knows now Scottie and Michael arnt close. It happens in life. People go they're seperate ways. I think Scottie just been through so much he just letting the lid off everything that has been brewing for a long time and he really don't care who is in the line of fire no more. Even if it is the greatest player and greatest coach of all time. Hope he don't burn to many bridges especially with the fans!
*"I was great as Michael Jordan"*
I will always be defending Pippen's basketball career, but I can't defend what he said, I burst out laughing when I heard him say that 🤣🤣🤣
That quote explains why he holds resentment for MJ and why he throws shade, especially by saying lebron is better than MJ🤣
I was laughing even more when he said he wants to be remembered as the greatest player of all time (and with that funny smile). He gotta be joking.
@@Pedaissance It's funny he said that because he always said MJ is the goat. He is just mad at MJ and he is attacking him now .
Really?? That's funny because all the Bulls games I watched in the 90's Pippen could do anything Jordan could do. He could score at will, dunk on anyone, defend, steal, etc. It just happened to be Jordans team and Pippen played his part. I've seen games where both Jordan and Pippen scored 40 something points, 30 something points in the same game.
@@jimmyfabs78 It's even more funny that now Jordan is being compared with Pippen. How much Pippen averaged in points? 16.1
How much Jordan averaged? 30.1
Are you sure you want to do this? You can't compare them in scoring man. What are you smocking bro?
I think if Pippen was on Allen Iverson's team AI would have 3 Rings. Pippen was a great leader who gave the team balance. He is like Hawkeye to MJ who was IronMAN
These reporters anit trying too talk about nothing but Jordan.
Well that’s all Scottie wants to talk about too . Just behind cameras .. on Twitter
I believe Scottie Pippen, never got the respect he always deserved.
"I wanted to set the record straight that I was as great of a player as Michael Jordan". My lord Scottie is delusional. Ughh... I'm a big fan Pip, but you were NOT as great as Michael Jordan! Not even close!
he was close in many regards but was a better second option and swiss army knife doing everything like D Rob to Duncan
MJ doesn’t win a ring without Scottie Pippen
Lebron doesn’t win a championship without AD, Dwayne, Kyrie
Yes MJ does.
@@AlexFromPhoenix mj himself said no michael jordan without scottie pippen
It’s a team sport ….
Bosh
@@AlexFromPhoenix no he doesn’t. everyone knows that.
Tyler Tynes this is a masterclass interview. Rocking the pink hair is also goated.
having just finished reading Scotties book. I don’t understand why all the media controversy. ‘Unguarded’ is a really great book. Pippen barely potted Jordan in the autobiography. Pippens life is a fascinating read… he was an outstanding player… and to think that Steve Kerr was in a bigger contract than Scottie in the second bulls 3-peat… is a pretty massive disrespect to Scottie… I don’t blame his bitterness at the time
‘So who’s a teammate you would love to have played with’ - Scottie ‘Kobe’
‘Who is the most exciting player right now’ - Scottie ‘Devon booker’
Funny how he chooses the ‘MJ’ of every era…..
I get the Kobe comparison. I like DBook dont get me wrong but calling him the Jordan of this era? Man hasn’t one a MVP or a Ring yet, I’m not even a KD fan but that man the Jordan of this era, or there’s a few more you could argue. No disrespect to DBook
@@drop2onyachin900 - when I say MJ, I mean play style and mentality. Both Kobe and Devon are scorers not passers.
So out of any player pip could’ve chose to play with he chose Kobe (instead of LBJ) and he could’ve said Luka for the curent era, but again chose a kid that idolizes Kobe (who in turn idolized MJ)
He acts as though playing with Kobe would’ve been any different - it would’ve been worse, because Kobe is less efficient and is nowhere near the defender MJ was.
@@drop2onyachin900 - KD is a great player, but is soft, mentally booker is waaay tougher.
Booker/Ja/ Tatum - these guys have that MJ/Kobe mindset.
That is because he is jealous of MJ as he was never that closer and did not have that killer mentality or what he himself called once the "Clutch gene"
Scotty is so underrated and it’s true he really doesn’t get his respect and credit for his greatness
So underrated, people don't even know how to spell his name.
@Aaron9 overrated

@@reelshooter_cs221 that's the problem wit u guys, basketball is not only about stats, by focusing on stats us miss real quality that can't be easily measured by stats.
Great interview!
Totally agree with PIP, him and Mike were great team mates! Look at their achievements both. I like how they compliment each other. BULLS is a team. Without Mike and PIP that is just another franchise.
First minute in Scottie says this interview is not about Michael Jordan.. i dont want to get into that its all about the book..then 8 minutes in, hes bringing MJ up....Scottie you should have just left it alone
😂 yep
"Michael Jordan couldn't win without himself" lmao😭 8:27
Pippen: I don't exist without me existing myself!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was hilarious! My 1st thought was, That's true. 🥰👏
The Last Dance is exactly what the people wanted to watch.
If The Last Dance was more about Scottie or any other player, it would have been very disappointing.
I understand scotties point tho
Great interview my friend!
Looking at how pathetic pippen has looked I believe Michael Jordan would've won with someone else.
Maybe 1 or 2 but no way 6 and the same for Scottie.
If MJ & Olajuwon played together they’d prob have won 8+
@@juve4690 Put any other top 5 SF with jordan like nique, or bird, or even just a defensive monsters like gerald wilkins or anthony mason with jordan and he would win just as much
@@Dwyanerose No, you're wrong. Bird and Nique were already old in the 90s and mason and gerald Wilkins wasn't good enough, you MJ' fans have to acept that MJ is not god. Pippen was big reason for their championships.
@@GoGetYourShinebox You talk like they lost with Scottie. They never lost once MJ and Pip played full season in their prime. Pippen with Olajuwon in their primes could have won many championships too so it's the same.
This guy just contradicts his thoughts each and every time he opens his mouth. ‘Let’s glorify the team and not the individual’ 🙄 says the guy that wants to be seen as ‘the greatest of all time’ and is proud he is top 75 all time and a HOFer - so should the NBA just eliminate the Top75 players and just make it Top Teams all time??? 🙄
On the floor,Scottie was the definition of a team player.
@@aleksthegreat4130 - what’s that got to do with his view that he should be recognized for his individual accomplishments?
Well said
I grew up watching the 90s bulls and I can clearly say that pippin was indeed a very great player, but he couldn't have won without Jordan, and Jordan couldnt have won without him. There you go, it's settled. Also, another thing I noticed too, Pip keeps mentioning that it's a team game, yet he's going out of his way to make sure he's remembered by the new kids in the nba. This guy says one thing and does another constantly. It looks like to me he's wants his ego to be satisfied. But then he goes on to say he doesn't care about individual accolades and he would give that up for a championship. But in the last dance they give him an entire episode focused on him alone. Make up your mind guy. Do you want to be remembered as a great player ? Or do you want to be remembered as THE best player ? Last time I checked I could never recall a time where M.J. candidly regarded himself as one of the greatest like Pippen does numerous times here. Jordan always knew that he had to be mindful and very careful about his image, as a public figure because alot of people admired him. You compare that to the likes of Pippen and Lebron james who show nothing but arrogance and that says alot. Pippen was great, but he was no Air Jordan 😕.
Jordan always had pippen and Horace. Or pippen and Rodman. Pippen didn't have that. He had Horace and no replacement for MJ, in MJs first retirement year. If it were 2 Pippens and Horace that year, the bulls would've beat the rockets in the finals that year.
Had Pippen come to the Bulls prior to Jordan, then he would have remained the top dog for the entirety of the 90s. But Jordan came there first, and with his a****** alphadog attitude, he made it impossible for Pippin to share the lead with him. Jordan's an a******. And no, you don't need to be an a****** to lead a team to Victory
And by the way, pippen never said he was the best player of all time. He said he was better than Jordan. And when asked how he would hope to be regarded, he said as the best of all time. What player wouldn't hope to be regarded as that?
Dude’s hands are like 3 times the size of the interviewer lol.
What the crap Scottie is talking about? "even Tiger Woods have someone carrying his bag" basically saying that they should get credit as well. OMG
I hope Scottie sells millions of books. I hope he makes a ton of $$... I hope this was all worth it..
Jordan w/o Pippen = second round
Pippen w/o Jordan = west conf finals
Scottie. I liked the core point you made RE the team vs the one … the one player . I watched you and Michael your whole career. I saw him struggle until you came along. It was the two of you
Within the five that was a two headed monster. I too am completely fatigued with all the Goatness. Eventually Michael as total hero needs to take a test. I played the game. I coached the game. And I heard you. Thanks
No offense, but Scottie is in no way "as good a player as Michael Jordan." Get real.
care to explain??
This was a GREAT interview with Scottie.Especially the Q&A.GQ did a great job allowing Scottie to answer and even elaborate
This interview was horrible and awkward! What are you talking about the dude giving the interview was a straight clown. Smh.
Thought that as well ... Q&A guy did great interviewing one of "The Greatest all around players" , Pippen. He didnt seem intimidated or star struck asked some good questions.
@@TheRecovery2525 why? the interview break your illusions about some people?
This guy goes back and forth more than a politician in an election year. You can’t trust a word he says either way.
❤ talent and grace ⭐ fantastic basketball player. Great teams and coach was awesome, thank you
I feel like this kid is too young to interview Scottie. Maybe he just looks young?
Just wanna add, that last dance documentary was not a good one, and it was also done by someone without much experience in what they do
Dan Majerle pronunciation was 😬
He’s a book interview he doesn’t know basketball
If he didn't play with Michael Jordan it is probable that he would have been another Brad Sellers or maybe out of the league altogether. How many people would care what he says if he didn't play next to Jordan?
FACTS!!!
Yep Jordan brought out Scottie’s greatness. Scottie got to mentor under the GOAT, no way he becomes an all time great with MJ.
And if MJ had not played with him, he would have been another Charles Barkley or Karl Malone or AI. A no ring superstar.
@@shahrokhshahsavari6027 He might have been remembered as a more modern Jerry West. Separate and above Barkley's or Malone's level. Someone who dominated the game and came up huge in big moments didn't quite have the team or the luck to get over the top.
The important thing is how he played. West did eventually get a ring but he if he hadn't the respect he's given by his peers as well as fans would still be a notch above.
Why wasn't brad sellers pippen then?! Played with Jordan too
First, I haven’t read the book; Scottie was my favorite player as I got into basketball… that changed. So has my opinion of him (not for the better), after this interview.
At 27:30 thanks for give us some of the set play used by the dreamteam in nba2k13. It is a great game and i know the real playbook of the dreamteam and those setplays helped the team to have a good chemistry and me, find a better way to use the players for example making a 3 pt shoot with Barkley and not always make a fade away with Mike. It was not easy to score a 3 pt with Barkley, but with a good chemistry it was easier.
Excellent interview. Scottie Pippen has been such a humble gentleman throughout his career, I'm glad he is opening up to us now.
GQ been doing a lot of basketball interviews with these legends🐐
i really liked his book. like i think it's the sports media is making mountains out of molehills for a juicy story. like he isn't even that critical of MJ. hopefully he's at least convinced some people to read it it's really good.
Good interview gratitude bless up
Pip man you were great but your not MJ man. He wants to be on the same level as Jordan and it anit gonna happen man.
So Full of CRAP!
18:52 "I'd rather have another championship." "It would've been a team achievement."" I don't chase individual achievements."
19:15 Tyler alludes to the 1.8 second-sit-out in 1994 and asks Pippen if he was bothered by not having more plays run for him and he completely dodges the question by responding, "No, I don't think it bothered me. I think that year in 94 , part of the 95 was probably some of my most funnest season."
This is the same guy that went in the Dan Patrick show and said the Phil Jackson didn't draw the 1.8 play for him for racial reasons. In the book, "to give him (Kukoc) a rise"
20:28 In response to a question about his statement in the book about the missed opportunity of going to the finals with Portland, "I don't think about it at all. I got six so I'm not thinking about the seventh that I didn't get."
(But he said that he would rather have another championship before)
Tyler Tynes seems to be aware of Pippen's insincerity and can be heard in his chiding, "Naw?" "Never?" "Yes sir. Yes sir."
It's obvious that Pippen or someone in his camp has realised how quickly this stupid book has backfired and is now trying to play it as an innocent memoir of Pippen's journey to and through the NBA. Then why take shots at Jordan and the 'Last Dance' in chapter one when that was not the beginning of the journey?
On November 8th 2021, Good Morning America broadcasted an interview of Pippen where he said that he wanted to be remembered as the greatest of all time (the greatest of all individual achievements).
Pippen is just a clown in Chicago after that stupid book.
"I don't chase individual achievement they chase me" 19:00
15:10 was funny af. I'm trying to think of what response he expected he'd get lol like why ask that?
Its about jealousy. He can't bring the bulls in finals when michael is not around. With respect to scottie he is good player.
Nor could MJ without Scottie.
@Beery bla bla, very convincing
@@Kig_Ama Says the guy with no context 😂
@@GoGetYourShinebox I ve been watching and following the NBA since the second half of the 80s, been a fan ever since, that is enough context for u lil kid.
@@Kig_Ama I don’t believe you and no that’s not context. You have no argument kid
Scottie Pippen is a badass and one of my favorite players !!!!
On court he was great, but off court i dont think so man, this guy is a hypocrite, and before his beef with mj, he's comments with other pkayets in his interview was totally bias
great interview. Nicely done, interviewer.
MJ is a very important brand to the NBA. Scottie likes to talk basketball, but the NBA is also a business and the media glorifying MJ is good for business. $$$$$$$$$$$
Definitely the best Scottie Pippen interview I have ever seen, period. And he got to be interviewed by a Dennis Rodman lookalike! :D
Selling books by trying to ruin somone elses legacy says enough of the character of Scottie. Never tought so about him, but you can't see inside the heads of people.
I hope that's his last book selling interview
Love you, Scottie
I love all Chicago bulls players, Scottie, Mj, Bj.Ron.Tony,Steve,Luke and others and whatever they keep writing or talking its not really matter.. what is matter is left in six championship's time back in the 90th.. i love that time..
Would have preferred a different interviewer for this
I’m hating this interviewer
Good interview
Interviewer look like a Great Value Dennis Rodman
