Who was the better In Game Dunker Scottie or MJ

Man Pip used to get humble dunks due to everyone focusing on MJ! But anyone who followed the Bulls back then, will tell you, when ever they had a 15 point lead, and they put Jordan on the bench, with in five mins that lead would shrink down to 7 points. I remember how indecisive and soft Pippen used to look with out Jordan.
Then they would put Jordan back in the game, and give Pip a blow and all of a sudden the lead would swell back up to 15 points. All these years of watching the Bulls play, I cant tell you one big game winning shot Pip hit. As far as his ability to dunk, he is similar to Trevor Ariza, tall lanky with hops but very little flair to write home about!
Jordan on the other hand vertical hops and hang time was off the chart, and when he was young, he was, in my opinion, the most spectacular dunker ever to lace it up, in the NBA.

I somewhat disagree on Pip being soft. The Bulls were MJ's team so Pip was happily overshadowed. However when Pip led the Bulls in 93-until Jordan's return Pip held the Bulls down. Infact he had an MVP like season and they pushed a real good Knicks team to 7 games.

That was one year he came in ready to play, dude was all buffed out and cut up and in shape, like a mother fucker. I remember to this day, telling my boy now how dedicated Pippin looks and how he is playing the way he should always been playing.
However that dedication was short lived, and the following year he went back to his soft ways! By the way the reason why I call him soft, because living up in NYC during that time, it was no secret who the Knicks wanted to target, they would often get in Pippen face and unravel his game. They tried that shit a few time with Jordan and his game elevated, so that shit was a wrap! But in 93 Pip did his thing, and was focused, that is until the now infamous quitting on the team incident the end of the playoffs!

Pippen just knew his role and played it the correct way. It was Jordans team and Pip would pick his spots. I mean they went 72-10 if you the play offs they went 87-13

nigga you fucking nuts. whenever pip or jordan got a blow the lead shrank. pip was just as much a leader of that team as jordan. i know what i'm talking about .. i grew up watching the jordan bulls.

I hear ya, but I bet you that behind closed doors Jordan will admit that he wish Pip was more assertive as a player. When he left the Bulls you can really see how much grit and determination he lacked as a player, sure he was older, but even after Jordan came back and played on one of the worse teams in the NBA, and after his skills had diminished, you could always see his grit, determination and will to win.
 
Pippen and those Gossamer wings called arms allowed him to dunk over ANYBODY. If he starts to speed up and give u that lil skip step, look out !
 
if anything, the scottie pippen videos in this thread make it clear that michael jordan was the better in game dunker.

the most remarkable play in both of scottie pippen's videos was not a dunk. it was the block on antonio harvey.

even michael jordan's dunk (his rookie season) over terry tyler was better than most of scottie pippen's dunk.
 
still shaking my head about that dunk on alan ogg.

That shit was crazy. If i'm remembering correctly he was going behind the back, crossing Edwards, double pumped and dunked coming down with the ball in his hands? If that's the one, that shit was sick. :smh:

that's the one.

but did you check the one against the warriors from 1987?

that little clip speaks VOLUMES about what a beast michael jordan was.

the ENTIRE golden state defense (yes, all FIVE) players were zoned up to the ball.

take a look at the feet of the players on the weak side: both in the paint.

michael jordan shook chris mullin (the team leader in steals) on the perimeter, elevated and dunked over the WAITING help (ben mcdonald) and the late rotating joe barry carroll.

NC coaches hate to double team unless as a last resort, and coach karl proved it right there. michael jordan had just won the "scoring title" the year prior (his 2nd full season) and coaches knew he was a problem.

SICK.

I don't recall that one. Dude was a beast.

It's still hard for me to believe that he was a Bull.

take a look at the 1:53 mark



it's 1 thing to have a phoney baloney highlight reel full of cherry picks, run-outs and a collection of dunks over a helpless PG who is the first/last line of defense on a fast break.

it's ENTIRELY ANOTHER to have a dunk in your highlight reel against an ENTIRE TEAM that is geared toward stopping YOU. and couldn't.

this was pre-coach jackson, before scottie pippen was a starter, and the bulls won the game.

Damn. That shit was sick. :smh:

I don't remember that one. They had that one on there over Ogg too. :yes:
 
Came in ready to give it to Pip, but saw dunk number 2 on the countdown and MJ just really took my breath away with that crossover and sh!t.

I mean, I really did not realize how high Jordan was getting on these dunks. And I watched him with my dad during the entire 90's. That cat could fly, real talk.

It seem like dudes where a step slow when MJ played.
:lol:I was sittin' there thinking the same thing.

Cosign...at least Patrick had the balls to try to block the shot, knowing there was a chance that he might get posterized...that's the chance you take when you challenge a shot...you win some, you lose some...

I was gonna clown at first...come on, MJ is one of the best dunkers of all time, let alone a G.O.A.T....however, I see where you're coming from in terms of dunking in-game...I think less people tried to challenge Jordan when he went up for the jam for fear of 1) being posterized, and 2) pissing Jordan off, so that he could come back at you even harder next time...In addition to his greatness, Jordan had that mystique that shook guys when he walked on the court...Pippen, while still a great player, was someone that guys thought they could take...and many times, they were proven wrong with disastrous results...
This analogy reflects my sentiments.

No Love?




If not for the injuries this guy woulda been great!
Man, GREAT derailing, LOL! They are normally a disaster. I could not agree with you more. I almost shed a tear everytime I see dude.

Look at the amount of highlights he had BEFORE the injury. That f*cking ankle of his really changed basketball history. I wonder how we would be looking at the Kobe's, LeBron's, Carmello's, etc. if this dude had a full career. Just wondering.:rolleyes:

Damn watching that Grant Hill mix was sad. Dude was smooth on that court man......
:smh:
