ESPN: The Last Dance ('98 Bulls Doc)

[A-one]

I’d be mad too, but that portrayal of Scottie is obviously how Jordan saw him. He gave him props, but also thought he was weak at times. I don’t think there were any lies told and all Jordan can give is his opinion.

Plus it's not like Scottie wasnt interviewed and given a chance to describe his thought process. Nigga straight up said he'd refuse to go in the game AGAIN if he could do it all over again. Lol like fam ,how you gonna be mad when you did the shit

The pace and flow of the game is much better and MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING

Pace is better because the athletes are better they have evolved, some games are entertaining but stop if you gonna sit there and tell me you tuning in to watch a hornets vs cavs game or a kings vs wolves.

And everyone takes 3s now...but NOT everyone should take 3s now. Even at times the philosophy behind taken a 3 makes no sense...my only point

You can take the good and the bad from each generation of basketball.

What you think your two sons (?) gonna tell you when they start watching ball about their generation of bball.

Teams score more because it’s more skilled players instead of 1 per team

:ualreadyknow:

This is an awful take. Teams score more bc players cant hand check, bullshit fouls, the emergence of the three point shot and the lack of overall defense.

Funny you say that....cause he salty over the doc.

Scottie Pippen Is Reportedly Unhappy With His Portrayal in 'The Last Dance'

People close to the former Chicago Bulls star say he's been "wounded and disappointed" by ESPN's documentary series.

I would be too. MJ low key shitted on pip w this doc. Only thing that was missing was playing "March madness" in the background of pip's college highlights

I agree 100% with what is quoted above. He held off doing his surgery until the season started, he tried to force a trade during their last season together, and he refused to go back in the game when Kukoc had the play drawn up for him to shoot the ball. When interviewed about all that stuff for the documentary he said he wouldn't change a thing. How the hell does he expect most fans to take his actions? Lmao. I mean, I personally don't care and kinda respect the fact that he was honest and didn't say what most people would say...

The documentary also gave hella props to Pippen as it showed him playing through that back injury in the finals, doing great the 1st season Jordan retired, and Michael consistently giving Pippen props and saying he couldn't have won without him. The stuff that made Scottie look bad was stuff he said he wouldn't change out of his own mouth. Lmao.

Now the players who got shitted on in my opinion are Horace Grant and Toni Kukoc. Both of those guys were legit 3rd or 4th best players on 2 different championship runs and they got less air time than Steve Kerr. Lmao. Horace was called a snitch and they only touched on Toni and the Dream Team ,Olympics stuff

Here’s what Gary Payton had to say about Jordan dismissing him on “The Opinionated 7-footers” podcast with Ryan Hollins and Brendan Haywood (via Andrew Joseph of For The Win): “Oh you know I was hot. I was thinking about calling him at the time. … But you know what, that’s what I expect out of Mike because I would’ve said the same thing. I would’ve said the same thing. You know me, B. I’m not gonna admit to nothing, man. I’m not gonna admit to somebody that D’d me up or did nothing. I’ll always tell you that any time in my career, nobody gave me problems but one person, and that’s John Stockton to me. That is just the way the game goes. I’m not mad at Mike because Mike didn’t have too many games that nobody D’d him up

Watching Game 6 f the 98 finals on ESPN right now.

Jazz literally ran the Malone post entry about 50 times that game lol.

Man that final play was so predictable. It was easy for Jordan to steal it from Karl

I was watching that too and noticed that very early in the game, Jordan tried to take it from him, but was a 1/2 a second late

 

[wadupdoe!313]

A professional nba team scored 54 points in the finals lol and y'all still wanna think the 90s was overall better than today lol.

And it wasn't all defense. It was some awful players getting legitimate minutes who can't score.

Jazz throwing out a random white guy named O'Keefe as a starting Center lol.

The offense was so bad that for 2 years they moved the 3 point line forward hoping to increase scoring and that still didn't work lol

[Mister B. M. Ed.]

Daaaaaaaaammmmmnnnn, cuh.

Is THIS what we're doing now?

Now, Scottie gets shitted on here, too?

You muhfuckas got ZERO loyalty to anyone....except the God, MJ.

Sports-MAGA shit.

Jordan insinuated that Pippen should have sucked it up and played through his migraine/concussion

 

[StringerBell]

Michael Wilbon deleted a "Last I checked, [Pippen] has twice as many rings as LeBron" tweet, but he also said that on air

ESPN's Michael Wilbon argued on air and on Twitter Tuesday that Scottie Pippen is better than LeBron because he won more championship rings.

damn that's Hard

I think this video puts shit to rest for good.

I simplify it by saying

Jordan is the Greatest of all time

Lebron is the Best of all time

 

[Peace_79]

Niggas forget how cold Stockton and Malone were

 

[O.G.]

I simplify it by saying

Jordan is the Greatest of all time

Lebron is the Best of all time

Here's how I see it.

Jordan = Michael Jackson
Two 3peats = Thriller & Bad
Both MJ's will always be considered the greatest by the masses. They both have one of the best catalogs in their industry.

Lebron = Prince
Beating Golden State = Purple Rain. Both feats just came out of nowhere and shocked the world.
Their all-around talent is legendary and their peak lasted a very long time. They stay winning.

Kareem = Stevie Wonder
Their run in the 70's is untouchable. Decade full of rings, awards, platinum & gold.
They get overlooked and misjudged by the younger generation of media and fans bcuz of the somewhat secluded lifestyles they lived.

Bill Russell = James Brown
Top of their game in an era where the odds were stacked against them. They played by their own rules in a racist society and still had crossover success.
