We have to be honest, who's responsible for today's wimpy play? The players of yesterday. All of those fights and players coming off the bench forced the league to apply rules to prevent that physical stuff. We can't blame today's players when all they are doing is following the rules. I think the league should pull back on some of those rules. Honestly, fans want to see physicality and fracases.
Maybe not too many remember but Fox couldn't guard Scottie when Rick was with the Celtics and Pip with Chicago. Scottie was way passed his prime with Portland and still took this team to a seven game series and they lost because they couldn't make a basket in the 4th quarter of game seven after leading by 15 or 16 points, that says a lot about his leadership, plus he played against a young Kobe and prime Shaq. The man was a beast.
Yep, blame everyone except Scottie for that game 7 collapse even tho that same Blazers team made it to the WCF vs the Spurs the year before and Rasheed carrying his ass in game 7 scoring 30 points while Scottie choked shooting 3/12 fg while getting his ass busted by Kobe throughout the entire game and series 😂🤣🤡😎.

Yeah, most 80s/90s looks skinny and lanky, even Shaq and Malone. Yet when they get fouled hard, they get back up right away and chaos ensues. Nowadays, players look more muscular and wider, even PGs, but when they get a hard foul, they act like their limbs got torn.

He wasn’t, he wasn’t good at anything offensively except he could get hot from 3 when left wide open all game now and then. On that we agree. What was he good at? Getting under the skin of players and defense. Peja was a major concern for Laker fans and had his way with the Lakers in his young career at the time. Once they met in that series, Rick Fox was a human wet blanket. Peja was absolutely terrible as proven with 39% FG shooting and pathetic 3 pt shooting for the series. Look at the game logs to see just how bad he was. Fox made life miserable for him, and made up for his lousy offense by negating Peja completely.

He’d have destroyed the Blazers from the inside out being on that roster. The original point has some merit too. While MJ is the GOAT, without Pippen he never did anything, never even came close to doing anything in terms of playoff success. When MJ retired the first time, the Bulls were incredibly competitive winning 55 games without him, and being a horrifying ref call away from beating the Knicks in the playoffs. Plus, if MJs peak Bulls had been around in the era where the Celtics/Lakers/Pistons were still the prime version of themselves, he’d at best have 1 or 2 rings. He took over the league when those great teams faded away, and 4 new expansion teams came into the NBA, further watering it down.
@OIP ! didn’t realize you were such a delusional crybaby. I clearly stated how the league was watered down, using facts to back up that claim. You got shut down boy
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Rick Fox is the kind of guy I hate if he's on a team I hate (Boston, Lakers, Utah, Phoenix), but would love if he was on a team that I like (Portland, Seattle, Milwaukee, Atlanta).
The league not suspending any of those Lakers coming off the bench on that clip was sus as heck. We all know they had crooked refs but that was on the front office.
This was the turning point of the playoffs Rick Fox getting into it with pip Fox never chewed gum once he did he became the lakers enforcer and pippen should've known better especially having Rodman as his teammate that the mind games that were being played And a lot of people other than laker fans know that Mike Dunnlevy led the lakers to the finals and 91
I loved this brand of basketball. This made the games more exciting. The league is soft now. This was the last era where a lil extracurricular activitie was allowed.

If only the Jailblazers bring their off court antics to the game, they'll be like the bad boys Pistons. If ZBo was already there, Fox will be the first Ruben Patterson
I love the 90's Bulls but Scottie Pippen brought all this bullying on himself when he would implode and sabatoge the Bulls teams with his selfishness. Phil Jackson knew he was a huge threat to disrupt the triangle and knew how to exploit that in this series and it worked . The Lakers got in Scotties head and thus affected this series in a huge way....
@@arizonaFIREent Great player athleticlly, and skill wise, can't take that away from him... Jorden never won a ring without him, but he was psychologically fragile... .
Where Pippen Missed Jordan He would target them guys on Pip like Mcdaniels or Rodman Or hell As the Bulls matured he would pull scottie away and take it on for him
Back when you could talk shit without instantly getting a T. God I miss the 80s to 2000s. NBA has basically turned into womens college basketball with the way they call the game.
Fox was designated the instigator because in the end that was his best contribution. His game had declined enough that outside of being the instigator, he couldn’t really play anymore. It is seen time and time again with players who really can’t earn their keep but not completely bad. There is still use but very narrow application for their spot on a roster.

When MJ retired the first time, the Bulls were incredibly competitive winning 55 games without him, and being a horrifying ref call away from beating the Knicks in the playoffs. Plus, if MJs peak Bulls had been around in the era where the Celtics/Lakers/Pistons were still the prime version of themselves, he’d at best have 1 or 2 rings. He took over the league when those great teams faded away, and 4 new expansion teams came into the NBA, further watering it down.
@OIP ! didn’t realize you were such a delusional crybaby. I clearly stated how the league was watered down, using facts to back up that claim. You got shut down boy
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Rick Fox is the kind of guy I hate if he's on a team I hate (Boston, Lakers, Utah, Phoenix), but would love if he was on a team that I like (Portland, Seattle, Milwaukee, Atlanta).
The league not suspending any of those Lakers coming off the bench on that clip was sus as heck. We all know they had crooked refs but that was on the front office.
This was the turning point of the playoffs Rick Fox getting into it with pip Fox never chewed gum once he did he became the lakers enforcer and pippen should've known better especially having Rodman as his teammate that the mind games that were being played And a lot of people other than laker fans know that Mike Dunnlevy led the lakers to the finals and 91
mentally pippen was easily to get frustrated

That's why I love it when Doug gave this fake tough guy Fox an uppercut
@alexis laqui tthat was a cheap shot
That was for all of us !! 👊🏽

Kobe when he elbowed Mike Bibby and didn’t get called for it ?!?!?!?!
@@ricardomoreno4825 how?
Fox wasn't knocked down or knocked out by that hit ....fyi
Rick fox was trash talking the whole team lol
I loved this brand of basketball. This made the games more exciting. The league is soft now. This was the last era where a lil extracurricular activitie was allowed.
Exactly. The NBA from the 70's to very early 2000's was the absolute best the game ever has been.
Fox understood the assignment. He was a so called pretty boy actor off the court. But on the court he was an enforcer.
Love it! Rick Fox at one point smiled like Dennis Rodman!🎉
I completely forgot Pippen played for the Blazers
Dunleavy was a G. FOX was soft. Pip was the man
Yea Doug Christie made him bite his own tongue. Literally lol
Fox was the enforcer on a 3 peat team protecting Shaq and Kobe for years and he soft? Stop. He was damn near the toughest guy on the team
@@TheMaddBlackMann I guess you didn’t see how skinny little Doug Christie decked him.
@@TheMaddBlackMann 👍🏻 u clearly know basketball lmao 😂
@@alp21188 Doug Christie was tough like Matt Barnes his entire career. He got in a lot of fights. Yaw acting like Doug was weak
Love when two top 20 players really go after eachother like this
Fox was just provoking him.
Damn Jackson Vahue was pissed. He did put 58 points on the bulls though.

Pippen never had fights. Rick Fox was quite the bully. That guy was always fighting
Just foxy tricks against a legend. Sabonis and Pippen were leaders who deserved much more respect in basketball history.
Scottie was jealous of Rick's pretty face. The Blazers found out you can't punk Pretty Ricky, lol.
LOL Pretty Ricky is what they called him...
Scottie Pippen, that championship composure without MJ...smh
weird seeing phil and pippen on opposing teams
So was MICHAEL WITH the Wizards.
Thats why doug christie upper cut his jaw
Christie landed a clean hard shot an didn't even drop Fox, baby hands Chrissy lol
@@DC-op8fs better watch it in slow motion you will see the color of his nerves in his face lol
@@davecalanda7411 I don't even know what the hell that means.

This is fucking amazing!
in 94 , 95 admiral angd hakeem were like years before !! he was with out mike and shined .. there was to bigmen above him ... and i think every credit and trophy theyrefused to give him because of mj as the goat
If only the Jailblazers bring their off court antics to the game, they'll be like the bad boys Pistons. If ZBo was already there, Fox will be the first Ruben Patterson
No they would probably be like the 2005 pistons
Ruben Patterson... The Kobe Stopper
Lol 🤡
Pippen at 1:02 says here at this ball fox. Rick fox is running towards pippen trying to trip him and he failed. Pippen tosses the ball at him.
Now that I think about it, Mike Dunlevey reminds me of a skinny Tony Soprano.
I love the 90's Bulls but Scottie Pippen brought all this bullying on himself when he would implode and sabatoge the Bulls teams with his selfishness. Phil Jackson knew he was a huge threat to disrupt the triangle and knew how to exploit that in this series and it worked . The Lakers got in Scotties head and thus affected this series in a huge way....
That’s not why they lost. But ok whatever helps you sleep better
Way back was the birth of Baby GOAT kobe RIP💜 🏀 💛
I enjoyed too much when Dough Cristie hit Fox.
I'm sure that Rick Fox's biggest REGRET in his career. He was known to be an enforcer, and it Blew up in his face after the Doug Cristie incident.
Dough?
@@VS-de7xk Rick Fox played himself in that situation. Period!
@@VS-de7xk doug
I'll take Scottie over Fox.
Fox is a scrub.
3:43 Silver Adidas Goat Kobes
I wonder if Phil told Fox to dog Scottie. Phil knew about his temper.
If you listen closely , I believe Coach Dunleavy ( or Blazer Fan) tell Foxx .. Your a Pretty Boi but you'll get knonked outta the Arena .
I would take Pippen ANY day over Fox. Pip can't fall for that foolery!
Man I was only like 7 at this time but I don’t remember Fox being a menace like this 😂😂😂
U brought me here 🤷♂️
Good old days
Everyone knew pippen wouldnt stand up for himself so they punked him his entire career...
He was ALWAYS getting punked haha
@@arizonaFIREent Great player athleticlly, and skill wise, can't take that away from him... Jorden never won a ring without him, but he was psychologically fragile... .
Its a mind game ...so lakers won the series,its not just playing physical basket ball you also need your mind there..
Where Pippen Missed Jordan He would target them guys on Pip like Mcdaniels or Rodman Or hell As the Bulls matured he would pull scottie away and take it on for him
Love these 2 guys. Fox and pippen both a takented players back then.
I love this era. This is when I would order NBA Ticket every year. Everyone on both teams would've got ejected nowadays....
Michael, help me 😫
Lol we ain’t scared of you no more Scottie. 😂😂😂
I wouldn’t be scared either if I knew I had refs playing for us too
Pippen should of decked Rick fox like Doug Christie decked Rick fox in the tunnel in Sacramento
4:56 Rick fox and dun leavy going at it
I hate that the Blazer choked in that Game 7, that would have sent them to the Finals. I think Pip needed that to get out of MJ's shadow.
He had attachments in spiritual way. The house he was living in with Vanessa was haunted. #facts
the most talent portland has ever had on one team its sad they couldnt get it done
What if MJ was not retired and still with Scottie? MJ was still one of best SGs in 2000 if he didn't retire.
When shaggy used to play for the lakers
Rigged ive just watch how reffs cheated Sacramento against lakers to smh
He went from Rick Fox to Jackson Vahue on Pippen.
Fox is a punk that’s why he got upper cut by Doug Christie.
Back when you could talk shit without instantly getting a T. God I miss the 80s to 2000s. NBA has basically turned into womens college basketball with the way they call the game.
Rick "Roughneck" Fox
💪🏽🦊
Man Rick fox was very underrated
No he wasn’t. Mediocre and thuggish
It's like Phil used Fox in the Dennis Rodman role. Get under the players' skin.
Pip would have busted fox up
Well why didn't he? Nobody was holding him lmao!
Pip never was or never will be built like that
@@Aksionjacksion73 Scottie fine too we all are built different!
@@keishajames9069 he knew he would t do the team any good being suspended in the playoffs. Fox was an imposter
Pippen gives Fox props after that timeout
Chick Deagan was wilding this game 😁😭😂 SMFH
That man said Rick Fox is movie star handsome 😆😆😆
My nigga Steve Smith had Scottie back
Fox was designated the instigator because in the end that was his best contribution. His game had declined enough that outside of being the instigator, he couldn’t really play anymore. It is seen time and time again with players who really can’t earn their keep but not completely bad. There is still use but very narrow application for their spot on a roster.
If those things happens now pip would suspended for the life time
Scottie was a shadow of himself with Portland.
Pippen didn't look happy on Port
