In this Video NBA Legends will tell stories and say how good scottie pippen was.
Scottie Pippen won 6 championships with the chicago bulls and played against larry bird, magic johnson,
dennis rodman and guarded them like no other.
One of the most versatile and talented players ever, Scottie Pippen orchestrated the offense like a point guard, rebounded like a power forward, scored like a shooting guard and defended on the perimeter like few others. The seven-time All-Star was a vital component of the Chicago Bulls’ six NBA championships in the 1990s.

In 17 seasons, Pippen missed the postseason only in his final campaign, allowing him to rack up the second-most playoff appearances ever (208) at the time of his retirement, behind only then-leader Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (237). More than anything, his all-around game became the prototype for the next generation of small forwards.

As the second-best player on the championship Bulls teams alongside Michael Jordan, Pippen may never get his due. As with the chicken and the egg conundrum, the question may always remain how much of Pippen’s success was a result of his association with Jordan.

Pippen was a member of the NBA’s 50th Anniversary Team, and a two-time gold medal winner with the Olympic Dream Team in 1992 and in 1996. He was an eight-time member of the NBA All-Defensive First Team (1992-1999) and the 1994 All-Star MVP. Yet, his career averages of 16.1 ppg, 6.4 rpg and 5.2 apg were not staggering.

The Bulls opened the 1995-96 season with Jordan and the newly acquired Dennis Rodman, and went on to enjoy one of the most remarkable years ever posted by any club.

Finishing with a record of 72-10, the best in NBA history, the Bulls stormed through the playoffs with a 15-3 record ending in a six-game Finals win over the Seattle SuperSonics. Pippen and Jordan were named to the All-NBA First Team and the two along with Rodman were selected to the All-Defensive Team.

The Bulls would repeat in 1996-97, this time in six games over the Utah Jazz led by Karl Malone and John Stockton. Pippen posted regular season numbers of 20.2 ppg, 6.5 rpg and 5.7 apg.

Pippen began the 1997-98 season on the injured list, missing the Bulls’ first 35 games while recovering from off-season left foot surgery. After his return, he would average 19.1 ppg, 5.2 rpg and 5.8 apg. Again, the Bulls won the NBA tile in six games over the Jazz, equaling their three consecutive titles form the early 1990s.
