Scottie Pippen: Ultimate Defender

[Fatal9]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9vFHYVXtRk&feature=sub

Been looking for a video like this for so long. The greatest perimeter defender ever

[nnn123]

It is impossible to make a video highlighting someone like Pippen's defensive strengths. It goes way beyond the blocks or the steals, or the individual plays......what sets him apart is his super quick defensive rotations (difficult to show in a 10 minute video). Every single time one of his teammates gets beat, Pip's there in a heartbeat denying penetration, forcing an outside jump shot..not allowing anything easy. Which tends to take its toll on the offensive player in a 48 minute game. This is what made Pippen and Jordan such a lethal combo (in their defensive primes)...their super quick defensive instincts and rotations. Not allowing penetration. And then you combine that with stifling one-on-one D, the steals, the blocks.....and you got some damn good defense.

Cool video. Pippen is one of my favorite players of all time. They should have left the part at 6:10 out though. That was clearly a blocking foul on Pippen that was incorrectly called as a charge.

very coool video, pip is great.

[KenneBell]

Great video.

i dont see how anyone could look at videos of pip in the open court and not believe he could be a 25 ppg scorer

Greatest Perimeter defender? 0 DPOY? Accomplishments are part of being the greatest. He never won DPOY.

I'd take Payton and Jordan over him.

[FinalCountdown]

Jordan was a better defender.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here with the "Defensive Rating" statistic... unless you understand what it means you have no business submitting it.

Also, any metric that has Tyrus Thomas being the best defensive player in 2007 loses practically all credibility with me.

This was for the Play-Offs

He is a Great Defender you might not like him or his style of play but thats another matter...

Is is it a coincdence that Dwight Howard this time...correctly named the Best Defender in the Game for Last Year also had the Highest DRT?

How about Ben Wallace?

Or the disgrace in Duncan not having a DPOTY Award?

Who's a great defender, Tyrus Thomas???

Are you seriously shaking a finger at me for questioning the a metric that has Thomas the #1 defensive player of the year??

Also, stats generally only measure what is quantifiable, which is only a small part of being a great defender.

Those here for the PLAY-OFFS

He is a Great Defender atleast for that play-off run if not he would not be right up there with guys like Rodman, Laimbeeer, Robinson, Pippen, Hakeem, Patrick, Wallace or Tim ALL CONSIDERED GREAT DEFENSIVE PLAYERS AND STOPPERS or NOT?

Now i will put the ones for the whole season:

Notice how [COLOR="Red"]Scottie Pippen[/COLOR] is the [COLOR="DarkRed"]Only Small Forward in NBA History to Lead the NBA in Defensive Rating[/COLOR]?

[COLOR="Blue"]Where PFs and Cs have the Most Defensive Impacts in a Game Ofcourse[/COLOR]...since they Play in the Frontline of 3 Player not 2 the Backcourt (before Stern Puss-ied Out the NBA ofcorse)

Also:

And You are talking about a Point - Forward who also had Game Creating, Scoring and Rebounding Responsabilities at the same time as Being the GOAT Perimeter Defender? He wasn`t just a Role Defensive Stopper but a Versatile Star and At the Same Time a Defensive Stopper

A Coincidence Again? U Blind?
