One of Pippen's best plays... ever.

Scottie Pippen is such a phenomenal player. He is perhaps one of the best backups in NBA history and he acknowledges this to a “T”. However, not everyone agrees to this.

Michael Jordan, for one, comes to mind.

Even if Pips never led a team without Jordan past the Western Conference finals, Jordan would always acknowledge that His Airness wouldn’t have six championship rings if he didn’t have Pips on his side.

Besides, Jordan never led the Washington Wizards past the eliminations.

But fact is, that team was abysmal to begin with.

Aside from being MJ’s best backup, Pippen is one of the game’s best defenders. Joining forces with Jordan in the Chicago Bulls’ lineup, they create a dynamic duo hell-bent to literally make their adversaries bleed for their points. Just like Magic Johnson, Pippen can orchestrate despite his size. Unlike Magic though, Pippen was given the distinction as one of the league’s premier point forwards – a position unheard of until the rise of Pippen.

Going back to his awesome plays, Pippen has an extensive library for his superbness.

I think that Patrick Ewing dunk was one of the best game dunks I have ever seen considering he mauled it against one of the league’s all-time best! However, let’s check out an awesome defensive play from Pips.

Sure, that was a foul but I believe that foul was more because of Shaquille O’Neal’s superstardom more than anything. However, perhaps that sort of block was surpassed by an epic move Pips did after his NBA career folded.

Well, as a consolation prize for Justin Bieber, he did win the MVP of the Game Award.

Game over.
