Scottie Pippen is one of my favorite basketball players. Too often he is forgotten when praising Michael Jordan: Jordan would not have dominated the 1990ies as he did without Pippen. Full stop. Along with Jordan, Scottie played an instrumental role in transforming the Chicago Bulls team and in winning six NBA titles and Chicago Bulls' record 1995–96 season of 72 wins
Considered one of the best small forwards of all time (for me: the best!), Scottie was a defense beast and was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team 8 consecutive times! Pippen was also part of the All-NBA First Team 3 times. Pipen was a seven-time NBA All-Star and was awarded the NBA All-Star Game MVP title in 1994.
This video features his offense qualities and his unique style of dunking.
Guess which dunk made it to number one?
Right. The amazing dunk over Patrick Ewing (also featured here).
