Y'all do Realize Scottie Pippen was 2nd highest rated Player in NBA Live 99, right?

[Red Money]

Number 99 fake Jordan was number 1. Scottie was number 2.

End of 98 season even though he had back issues he was still respected as a talent. When healthy he was the 2nd best talent in the NBA any particular year in the 90s.

People on the coli say he was never 2nd best in the NBA. Break out the PS1-3 and pop in Live 99 and you will see. Let's not rewrite history...

I love Scottie, he's one of my favorites. He was one of the best players in the league in his prime, but nikka that's a video game.

There was about a 3 year Span pip was arguably top 4. His defense was out of this galaxy and at that time wasn't any 6'8 pgs like that

 

[Controversy]

In 90, Scot wasn't better than Zeke
In 91, Scot wasn't better than Magic
In 92, Scot wasn't better than Clyde
In 93, Scot wasn't better than Chuck
In 94, Scot wasn't better than Dream
In 95, Scot wasn't better than Dream
In 96, Scot wasn't better than Shaq
In 97, Scot wasn't better than Grant Hill
In 98, Scot wasn't better than Shaq
In 99, Scot wasn't better than AI

Next case

Scottie is in my top 10 just for bagging peak Madonna right in front of the goat

It's was undisputed the best basketball sim on the market. Live was the culture.

NBA 2K came out the next year and destroyed Live if you supported the dreamcast and was in the know. Live always did that weird forward learning jumper near the rim very often instead of layup or dunk, lol. And posting up was trash in Live...NBA 2K was immediately better in terms of handling, but this ain't the Arcadium so no need to get into in the Coliseum.

nikka I'm grown. Why are you giving me a history lesson like I'm Gen Z? Anyways he was showing a major decline in 97-98 with those injuries. Those video game ratings were just guess work.

if live 99 was based on the 1998 season then he was in no way better than Shaq, or Malone
if it was based on the 1999 season he was in no way better than shaq, AI, or Tim Duncan

It's almost based on neither.

Live 99 came out the lockout year so the rosters are not for 99. There's no rookies etc

The Live '99 Rosters are basically a year end Live 98' roster update.

Dude low key cited the worst example possible for his agenda. Scottie only the second highest rated player in a game where the rosters are fukked

Some see it as a slight to Jordan accomplishments. But Jordan being clearly better than a 2nd best Pippen helps the Jordan GOAT case.


And I'm a guy that believes if Shaq was on the 2nd three peat bulls Jordan would let Shaq cook and play off him like Kobe until the 4th...and Jordan was already the closer for the bulls even though he'd get buckets any other time.

Video games in 99 probably didn’t even have basketball people involved, just random developers

 

[Luke Cage]

Damn, so this is proof Scottie is literally overrated.

My favorite player ever, but is best suited as a #2
