    MJ has plenty of clips like that and was the primary defender on Magic - MJ guarded Magic for 70% of possessions to Pippen's 30%, as realgm documented:

    So MJ was the primary defender on Magic, Isiah, Drexler, Payton, Reggie Miller, T Hardaway, Rod Strickland - he was always assigned to the other team's best perimeter player

    Brilliant defense in that whole game from Pippen. They just happened to put Pippen on Magic due to Jordan having early foul trouble.

    I also thought that was one of Jordan

    It's called fake news

    MJ guarded Magic most of the series - this is easy to verify and it has been

    Pippen didn't guard magic at all in Games 1 and 5.. he only guarded him for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of Game 2... And the 2nd and 3rd quarters of Game 3.... And the last 4 minutes of Game 4... That's a total of 6 quarters (30%) compared to MJ's 14 quarters (70%)

    Flpiii was the poster that verified the data:

    And it's easy to verify...

    Pippen didn't guard Magic at all in Games 1 and 5.. he only guarded him for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of Game 2... And the 2nd and 3rd quarters of Game 3.... And the last 4 minutes of Game 4... Go look for yourself - it'll take you 10 minutes....

    That's a total of 6 quarters (30%) compared to MJ's 14 quarters (70%)... Again, the pippen narrative is fake news.. and MJ also guarded Magic for the critical Game 3 OT, after Pippen fouled out in regulation.
