Behind bird? He's behind parrish and fouls him when bird dishes off to him. The camera comes in too late to see how the play unfolded.

Larry Bird shooting over the top of 7'0" Brad Sellers (LONGER than Pippen), and Scottie Pippen as well...WETNESS, too easy for Larry Legend..

BTW I hate these types of threads, never been a 1 v 1 guy, basketball is a team sport & Bird is superior to Pippen as a player.
I think they're arguing based on who they feel is a better player.

And why would pippen negate his advantage by trying to back down bird? Makes no sense.
This. An NBA player is an NBA player. They can hit jump shots like throwing a raisin in a pool when uncontested and without NBA Game defense/atmosphere. They practice that shit daily. Larry cant just back off Pippen, and neither can Pippen off Larry. They would need to play tight D. It comes to who is the best 1on1 player.
Who is?
But then again, Pippen has an advantage with his D, right.

I said, I'm not sure bird could beat green. Don't you understand birds gonna have to play defense too.
Id give an edge to bird cuz I don't think green is much of a dribbler. And has no jumshot. He'd back off him and dare him to shoot and stay on his right hand.

They are both legends, the competitive will be even. Even the best players have lost 1-on-1 battles to much lesser competition, not that Pippen is way less than Bird. Even if they played 5 on 5 and had to guard each other I wouldn't know who to choose.

I remember during the 00 finals, reggie miller was being interviewed and someone asked about him playing kobe bryant one on one a few years prior. Kobe beat miller. Miller admitted it. And this was a young kobe bryant. Vs miller who was a great jump shooter like bird. But his defense leaves something to be desired. And that's probably what was the difference.
Its just too hard to overcome iso 1 on 1 when one man can defend and score while the other can just score. This would be the scenario in a pippen/bird matchup. And no amount of clips showing bird shooting over brad sellers would change that.
