(updated with speech video) Pippen HOF roundup

I know it’s dumb because both debaters are asshats. But still how can ESPN even put that on the air? So many facts were wrong about what he said. When Skip Bayless was writing for the tribune he sucked and only made it a year. 1998 Pippen was playing with a bad back.

But to put all of Pippen’s success on MJ is not fair.

Sad to say that even though I was around during the Bulls’ glory years, I was age 11-17 during those times and was too fixated on school, playing baseball and surviving a crappy home life to really appreciate all that those Bulls teams did. Like every young kid without superstar talent, I emulated Pippen as well. I liked playing defense and rebounding a lot more than scoring because I instinctively found it much easier to keep someone from scoring than it was to score myself. I honestly cannot remember anyone scoring on my in my sophomore year of high school playing JV. Of course I scored maybe 12 points that entire year lol.

Wish I could look back at all of those games myself and just observe Scottie at work.

I REALLY wish that Rose would just give Scottie a call and ask him to be his personal defensive coach, but of course he has USA basketball right now. I would love for Thibs to just hire him on to have him work exclusively on defense.

he also said “I covered them for one year” yeah that one year made you an expert on the Bulls.

I just find it funny how ESPN/abc people talk about the 90’s Bulls or the 90’s, kinda like they never existed. Has it been that long that people forget everything? Van Gundy and Mark Jackson were both on the Knicks during the 90’s so maybe they’d rather forget. Sad that they are the voices now.

I mean seriously who were these guys? Tim Legler, Jalen Rose, Van Gundy, Mark Jackson, Mashburn (he’s ok) but who did they hire these people?

I will never forget that nor how he took Magic out of his game in 91. I can’t look at Ewing the same either since Pippen made him his personal poster boy.

that bulls team was just amazingly built and had absolutely no weakness.
probably the best defensive players in the league and the best offensive players in the league on the same team. thinking about it is just scary

Skip Bayless > Who Cares?

MJ is presenting Scottie, so he will be standing on stage with him the whole time he delivers his speech.

Didn’t you see MJ’s speech last year? Assuming same / similar format, that’s how it’s going down

Especially since Malone was so overwhelmed nearly the whole time he was up there. His little exchange with Barkley at the beginning was pretty funny.

1) man i loved watching pippen play. honestly, the only reason why i wanted mcgrady on this team is because his weird body and way of moving (especially with the ball) reminds me so much of pippen.
2) its february of 94’ and you can tell by the way magic and fratello and marv (the announcers) are talking that still everyone underestimates how good pippen is. magic even dubbs that freakin’ exhibition game “pippens coming out party”.
