He took the first thing offered not knowing how great he was going to be because he wanted to take care of his family.

He signed that deal during the 91 finals, the year after his first all-star appearance.

Chicago Bulls give Scottie Pippen a new deal in 1991

Within the next few days, the Bulls will take the first step toward trying to repeat as National Basketball Association champions by announcing they have signed Scottie Pippen to a five-year contract extension worth $18 million.

The deal, which was signed in Chicago last week after Game 2 of the NBA Finals, guarantees that Pippen, who seems certain to become a perennial All-Star, will remain in a Bulls uniform through the 1997-98 season.

This was important for the Bulls. They had remained about $1.6 million under the cap this season so they’d have money to sign Yugoslavia’s Toni Kukoc. They could have finished the season $1.6 million under and kept the money, but teams aren’t allowed to roll cap money forward. So what the Bulls wanted to do was restructure Pippen’s old contract, then extend it so they might have room to still sign Kukoc in three or four years.

This is the way Pippen’s new deal works: It’s considered a five-year, $18 million extension, but the $18 million will be spread over the three existing years of Pippen’s contract, meaning this season and the next two, and the five after that.

Pippen makes $765,000 this season and is scheduled to make about $1.1 million and $1.25 million the next two seasons.

Ahmad Rashad said it best. Jordan didn’t take nights off. Win, lose, or draw, you got his best effort that night. Never questioned whether or not he showed up.


That’s what separates him from everyone.

i mean kobe is the same way

 

[Malik1time]

perfect opportunity would for jordan to release retros "last dance edition"
just giving my 2 cents

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Very simple. Lebron was able to win 2 against them. And Jordan is better.

Lebron beat them twice and shot 39% that series.

They not holding a 31 year old mj, that’s peak Jordan.

Counterargument...

Jordan never played 5 finals in a row....and he would have been doing it essentially without his "Pippen and Rodman" for that 5th trip



I mean Jordan is the GOAT to me, but that series would have been a toss up.

Bron made that a series SIMPLY because of his ability to control the pace.

 

[Bolzmark]

ESPN is Hall of Fame status when it comes to documentaries

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Scottie didn’t go to the good orthodontist.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Just spent 20 mins on the phone with my uncle who was my father figure, he was hyped as fukk. That dude raised me on Jordan's greatness. I only saw the second threepeat live but he had PLENTY of VHS tapes of Jordan from 86 to 93 and made sure a nikka was fed GOAT content



This prized possession stay up on the wall that my uncle gave me

Dude had a Paralyzed Father AND Brother



I’m NOT saying at all he shoulda done it...but I understand

Word but the lesson here is to always bet on yourself.

 

[BlackAchilles]

A watershed moment in pop culture

 

[Milk N Cookies]

that mentality carries over to why he's always reluctant to tank with the Hornets.

Interesting

Either I have above-average intelligence, or I'm speaking to simpletons all fukking day on here.
