He made the playoffs with a 30-52 record. Talk about a weak eastJordan first 3 seasons without Scottie he made the playoffs
Rookie season he loss to a Milwaukee Bucks team with Sidney Moncrief, Terry Cummings and Paul Pressey(solid player) and nba first team defense
Bulls second best player was Quentin Daily who average 10 points a game. That roster period was shyt and Scottie himself would never made the playoffs that year
Then The Bulls next 2 playoffs was against one the greatest teams ever in the 86 and 87 Celtics..
Once again Scottie wouldn’t have done shyt by himself let alone average more than 20 points
Scottie is a fukking airhead
Peak level shyt hoops culture. So we respecting the troll now huh.Pippen only fukked up because he doesnt go full heel
he presses the gas but holds the breaks at the same time... he should bring fukkery to everyone
he doesnt believe in himself enough... so he says shyt and then hides after ... he needs Gilbert Arenas level of confidence
he should shyt on Jordan, Larsa, Jordans son and Lebron all at the same time ... tell them he's a legend and a champion... one of the best defensive players of all time and almost took the blazers to the finals. He has enough ammo to really shyt on all of them if we are keeping it real ... he's just not focused enough. He's got the resume and history to shyt on all of them and man up for himself
Such a stupid debate that's been bought up by pro Lebron fans such as Shannon and Nick Wright.
Jordan was gonna break through once the team around him got better and he matured to take a different coaching philosophy of getting his teammates involved
Whoo that's a lot to read...You ppg stans can be ignorant as hell. Who the fukk would measure Pippen's impact solely by his points?
Scottie was clearly a difference maker who played a big role in Jordan getting his first series wins. And his stats were distorted by poor performances in the losses, but that doesn't mean he wasn't valuable in the wins.
In 1988, he was young and quiet most of the series, but in Game 5 he broke out and put up 24-5-6 on 10-20 shooting with 3 steals as the Bulls squeaked out a five-point win to take the series. You could argue he looked like the 2nd-best player on the court that game. Without him, MJ loses in the first round for the fourth straight season and to the fukking Cavs at that.
In the 1989 first round against the Cavs again, he averaged 15-9-4 with great defense and hit a bunch of threes (11-24 for the series) to help the Bulls squeeze out a narrow 3-2 series win. That included a 22-point performance in their close Game 1. Pippen was their #2 scorer, take him out and they don't win that series.
1989 against the Knicks, he averaged 15-7-5 on 58% shooting, 50% from three-point. In the crazy 113-111 win in Game 7, Scottie scored 19 points on 6-7 shooting (4-4 from three) with two steals and three blocks. Take him out and they don't win that game, or likely the series.
By 1990, he was an all-star and nearly 20-7-6 in the playoffs with elite defense.
PIppen was the difference-maker in those first Bulls series victories. Take him out, and they don't win those games.

What's Jordan playoff record without Pip?
It's so disingenuous. But that's LeBron fans for you. Can't wait until that clown retires and they fade into obscurity.
Jordan's seasons without Pippen he was 21, 22, and 23. And he was injured for most of the year he was 22.
The hate in their heart is so strong they reaching for anything.
And he had performances that were as great or better than the best performances from Bron's teammates. Scottie averaged 21, 9, and 7 on 52 TS% in the finals during the Bulls first threepeat while mostly guarding the opponents best player. Those are elite second option numbers, especially for that era. None of the Bulls opponents had a second option that great.Pippen honestly has always been a coddled spoiled brat who pouted whenever he didn't get his way. I personally wish pippen did play with lebron so that everytime they failed the media could tear pippen apart about his lack of production. For the sake of the lebron vs Jordan debate people tend to over exaggerate pippens impact on the court. If you think guys like Bosh, love, Westbrook, Chalmers, and now deangelo Russell gets killed for their lack of production, go throughout the bulls playoff runs and point out how many games pippen scored 10, 13 pts and shot horribly. And let's not even talk about the migraine game smh pippen is seriously overrated and his attack on Jordan every chance he gets is sad.
Peak level shyt hoops culture. So we respecting the troll now huh.
Man’s said ‘he got dirt on all them’what on earth are you talking about?!?!
He’s talking to Michael fukking Jordan and you’re bringing up ‘Scottie almost took the blazers to the finals’
And he just a pulled the only ‘dirt’ he had on Jordan which is ‘you didn’t win before me’ but Mike has already said he doesn’t win without pip
See, Mike’s position is one too many new nggas can’t relate to: confidence. He NEVER speaks ill of Pip. Bc he’s not threatened. Mike doesn’t need to prove shyt. Even real Mike fans still don’t hate Scottie. I love Scottie bruh pause. These comments hold no merit. When you have that stance shyt doesn’t bother you
On the contrary, this deeper than sports you new nggas insecure in general. Hence youblowing in the wind with every game, every possession, every take
