my biggest wish is to live as a teen during mj days. i would b watchin every game high as hell not believing what i see when he pulls off this crazy shit
Jordan's game did not center around passing because, well, it wasn't really that necessary, he was a scoring machine, however the man could pass with the best of em as clearly displayed in this video, in fact in 89 when John Paxson was hurt MJ took over the Point position and proceeded to amass 7 straight triple doubles and 10 in 11 games ending the year with I believe 15 which is more than half of his career total, don't doubt Michael's passing prowess, he just never needed it much.
I love the atleticism of the game now, but back in the day you had players that could not only just jump(*cough* Lebron) but you had player that could shoot, pass, play defense, lead they're teams.....basically real players. Yea this time in basketball was classic like none other
Number 3 wasnt luck. He saw luc trailing as he changed directions and a good center always trails for the offensive rebound and a good guard knows this. If he wasnt there, in the paint, you'd have to wonder, were else would he and/or should he be?
that pass to steve kerr was awesome. not because it was a flashy behind the back pass or anything. but because a big guy like michael jordan trusted his teammate to deliver. that's a true leader right there.
This right here is proof that MJ made Pippen look good. Pippen alone couldnt bring the bulls a ring. Many people saying how good Pip is, how come MJ is the one always taking the double team and feeding him the ball? MJ is the greatest, Pippen is just a sidekick.
No it isn't you fucking idiot, Pippen was a star before Jordan. If anything Pippen made Jordan look better becuase Jordan didn't pass as much before Pippen, thats why he and the Bulls were tormented by the Pistons in the playoffs for years. He didn't get over the hump and win the championship until Pippen came along, thats when he felt like he didn't need to do everything himself, very similar to Kobe early in his career before Shaq, but I hate Kobe and he's not as good, KG real MVP last year.
What you said just proved that Pippen was a sidekick. How could Pippen be a star before Jordan when Jordan was in the league first. AND he made all-star in his rookie year. And he scored 20+. Every superstar needs a sidekick and the sidekick was Pippen.
Last time I checked Pippen was selected 5th overall in the draft, but I guess he had no talent until he played with Jordan. Pippen was a fucking all star. Was he as good as Jordan? No, but that doesn't doesn't make him a sidekick, he was just playing along side who many consider to be the greatest of all time. Jordan never won a ring without Pippen, and he was tormented in the playoffs util Pippen came along. Pippen would have been the best player on most teams in the league. Thats a fact.
"No it isn't you fucking idiot, Pippen was a star before Jordan." This is the point I'm trying to prove. Jordan was a star before Pippen. What you said had nothing to do with what I said. Yes, Pippen was the best besides Jordan, but he wasn't better than Jordan, and especially not a star before Jordan. And yes, Pippen was a sidekick.The term sidekick is to describe the second best player on the team. You can't say Jordan was second best. Pippen could never have won a ring without Jordan.
I mean he was a very talented player before he played with Jordan, I'm not saying he came into the league before Jordan. Second, I never fucking Pippen was better than I said he wasn't a sidekick, I find that extremly disrespectfull that you would call him that, if you have two superstars and one happens to be better then the other it doesn't automaticaly make one a sidekick, there two great players, plus Pippen made Jordan better, Jordan was just a prolific scorer before Pippen rounded his game
And that wasn't the original piont you were trying to prove anyway, I understood you the first time that Jordan played before Pippen, but you just didn't understand me. Pippen was a great player before he played with Jordan, he would have been a great player without Jordan, and he made Jordan better. History shows that nobody considers an athlete the greatest unless they have championships to show for it, Jordan NEVER won without Pippen even though he played before Pippen.
I don't think you know what a sidekick is. A sidekick is what you call someone who is the second best on a team. Just like how Kobe was a sidekick to Shaq. Yes, Pippen was a great player before he played with Jordan, but he wasn't able to win a ring without Jordan. Nobody could win a ring all by themself, because basketball is a team game. And Pippen was the one that helped Jordan and the Bulls win a championship. Jordan could carry the team much more than Pippen can.
I not disputing whether Pippen was as good or better then Jordan, he clearly wasn't. I'm just think "sidekick" is a derogatory term to desribe a great player, most of the world agree's with me, thats why they call Jordan and Pippen a duo, Batman and Superman not Batman and Robin. They also called Shaq and Kobe a duo or a big man litlle man combo. I would use sidekick for a good player and a great player not two great players.
Maybe you don't like the term sidekick. But that's what he was. A second best player, and the lesser of the duo. Call it what you will, but that's what it was.
when you say batman and superman then you put pippen on the same level as Jordan. It really was a Batman and Robin thing and pippen was his sidekick. dont get me wrong im from the city and i love pippen because he brings back alot of memories when this city was alive. Pippen is a great player but Michael Jordan is not human
"Pippen was a star before Jordan. If anything Pippen made Jordan look better becuase Jordan didn't pass as much before Pippen, thats why he and the Bulls were tormented by the Pistons in the playoffs for years."
The Bulls started winning rings when Pippen developed, not when he first arrived. He didn't come into the league as an all-star, he came in as a sub and worked his way into the starting lineup. Chuck Daly even admitted that the reason Chicago overcame the Bulls was because....
75samuel: Check Pippen's 1989 and 1990 Conference Finals numbers and compare them to 1991. He had some awful performances those seasons like when he shot one out of ten field goals in a game 7.
I know, i saw those games. I actually follow basketball for longer than 3 yrs like the morons on youtube in general, and i don't mean you with this.
Pippen was already a very good player then, better than Lamar Odom, unfortunately he played against the Pistons, who were the most physical team in the league and also a great defensive team. Jordan kept them afloat by himself.
Also Pippen used to disappear even in championship seasons for playoff games, in that way he reminds me of Kobe Bryant.
Well said and I especially agree with you on Pippen being better than Odom at that point. Unfortunately, he just had a few bad moments that happened to occur at crunch time. He redeemed himself in later years, though.
he wore number 45 because that was his older brothers number, and thats also the reason he chose number 45, because 23 is almost half. It was all in a documentary about his life. Don't you remember when he retired from basketball and went to baseball? Then when he came back he was number 45 for 1 season to dedicate it to his older brother. Then he went back to 23
he wore #12 for one game when he had his jersey stolen by a fan (not everyone knows that he wore #12 for one game) but come on. any true basketball fan will know he wore #45 his comeback year in '95 from his minor league baseball team.
The game winner pass in the double nickel game deserve a spot =) And the "earth jordan" against the Pistons (game 5) in 90 is the number 1.
