Those you callin Pippen a bum don’t know shit about basketball. The man could guard damn near all 5 positions. Guarded the best player on every team. Even carried the bulls to the ECF when mike retired the 1st time. 9 time all-star, several time all defensive player. Can get a bucket whenever he needed. Ran point. Film don’t lie.
I hated the Bulls, could never stand Jordan or Pippen, Knicks fan since I can remember... With all that being said Pippen is unlike anything we've seen in the NBA until Lebron came along. Give that man his credit PLEASE!
@@5614rental Zeke and Hardaway before the rules became lax. That's back when you were only allowed top of ball dribbling. My older brother and his friends used to call "carrying" on me non-stop growing up cuz I wanted to be "like Mike" lol. Nowadays these kids get away with scooping the ball from the bottom like its street ball.
I will forever be a True Appreciator of the Greatness of Scotty Pippin. He forever is humble and gives credit where credit is due but we as a Society never give HIM his due!! I will forever have PIp at my 3 spot regardless of the era. At his prime there is no better small forward on both sides of the ball! His defense was amazing. Night in and night out he defended the best player on the other team. 1-5 and still got his! He is the originator of the point forward that everyone is looking for since. Pip you are a legend man!
Alot of folks say pip never won a ring without MJ....however MJ never won 1 without pip. What lots of folks forget is in the 94 playoffs on a phantom foul call (which wouldve been ticky tack even if it did happen) on scottie pippen on a hibrt davis shot the entire series changed. Istead of the bull being up 3-2 they were down 2-3. That matters cuz game 6 was in vhicago...which the bulls won... So If bulls were up 3-2 that wouldve closed it out. The winer of yhis series was thought to be the team in the finals to rep the east....and ny DID go to the finals. However game just tied it up to go to gm7 at MSG. So Pippen did almost get it done without jordan
@@bubbapacha7672 It was a foul you idiot. How many of those calls did Jordan get over the years so stop. Pippen choked in the 4th qtr of every game in that series. He even quit in Game 3. Flat out took himself out of the game
I love the old school guys. Back when basketball was grown man business. Oak was/is a real dude. Pip still salty at Isiah after all these years. Real basketball and real rivalries.

Man during the Isiah question Scottie tried to smile it off at first but he was as serious as a heart attack after. Watch Pipp’s face after oak says “i cant trust him” 18:00 just a stone cold glaze
Dam straight man. No doubt. Not even close. Music you listened to you could understand and it had feeling to it.

Moses Malone straight out of high school into the Aba then he went to the Portland Trail Blazers Houston Rockets Washington Bullets and of course he helped my team to Philadelphia 76ers when a championship an 1983 and yes he was better than Shaquille O'Neal
Man, Oak keeps looking right ahead the whole time when he's talking, never makes eye contact. Like he's driving a car and got Pippen and Rapaport in the back seat.
Not true at all. He keeps making random eye contact, but is keeping his attention and focus to the people there to see this. Like the professional he is.
Everyone calls Giannis the freak, but the original freak was Pippen who at 6'7" had a wing span of a 7 footer with long arms he was able to get many steals as well as crucial blocks, and big rebounds whenever the Bulls needed him to play big inside. Many people like to compare the Bulls of yesterday with the Warriors of today and all I have to say on that is DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! If the Bulls where playing by todays rules with the touchy fouls and no hand checking or physical play the Dubbs would win no doubt, but if the Dubbs where playing in the 90's era rules with the physical play there's no doubt the Bulls would dominate the Warriors!!! First off they would put Pippen on Curry, Curry is great but he wouldn't be so successful with a 6'7" Pippen with the wing span of a 7 footer to either block his outside shoot or disrupt(in Scottie's prime he could guard all positions even Curry, check out his defense on Magic Johnson in the '91 Finals that was crucial in the Bulls going on to win their 1st NBA championship), then they would assign Rodman the boards as well as neutralizing Draymond Green, and that would leave either Klay or A.I. to guard Jordan, good luck with that!!!
Defensive specialists arent valued so highly anymore so scorers benefit in their absence. Gary Payton wouldve locked Curry down and hurt him emotionally. Detroit wouldve broke his body
I think the bulls would win in either stye and rules Jordan on curry pipen on clay Rodman would be in heaven playing green and remember Kerr and Tony were killers from 3s exspecially when it counted. Plus MJ just wasn't going to lose..
Rap you are too funny man. We need more of these and they need to be longer. At least make them 45 min long this was great!!!! So many good memories. Basketball was so much better then and it will never be the same again.
YES I need both sides of the ball!! Pippen guards all positions doesn't take plays off and can do everything I need. Score, pass, defend, HIT FREETHROWS, etc..
Yeah man. Those and the knicks/pacers series in the 90s were the best. Basketball is so much less physical these days that I find it boring. It doesn't seem as challenging. Harden wouldn't be getting those numbers in the 90s. This new league is creating stars out of mediocre players and superstars out of players that can't touch Scottie. It is sad to see.
@@fredrickmeredith3564 When you have the greatest player of all time on your team, you need role players. Paxson was a fit for that team at that time. The play in the league has changed so much that role players are required to have a different set of skills. The 3 and D guy is much more valuable in today's league, for instance. I do find it interesting that my comment had to do with a star like Harden and your comment brings up a random role player. At best, that is a false equivalence. Even Phil Jackson said he had more talented teams with the Lakers and I agree. My comment in this thread wasn't necessarily as much about talent as physicality. I miss that part of the game. I get that you don't, but to most of us from that era, sitting there watching centers chuck 3s rather than battle it out in the post is boring. The defensive aspect of the game was just as exciting to us.
LOVE the reaction when Mike first mentioned Nique's name! Genuine excitement and respect when they said "OH"! LOL When Stern first took over the NBA HE KNEW that the NBA was the PERFECT TEAM SPORT to really market individuals. So the league was SMART and knew they had 6-8 Rockstar type players in the league. Guys who could easily get the casual fan on board because of their charisma and style of play. Once Stern's plan unfolded, Nique DAMN SURE was one of those guys! Along with MJ, Magic, Bird, Isiah, and Barkley. While Kareem and Doc were rock stars of course, BUT were on their way out of the league. That's HOW MUCH of a superstar Nique was back in the day. Add to the fact he was seen all over the country on TBS, no doubt he was the King of the South hoops wise in terms of popularity! I'm glad Pip pointed out that Nique has become underrated as time has gone on!
Damn. What is it about Isiah 🤣🤣. It's been 30+ years. Even Pippen learned to like/respect Rodman who was on The Pistons as well and played for Chuck Daly when he coached The Dream Team.
@@JennyMarieChristian That's true about Rodman:) He has told that story about how Phil Jackson had him apologize to Scottie first before he signed with the Bulls. Good for them for putting aside their differences to achieve a common goal. But I also wondered if Isiah wasn't a good enough player so the Dream Team wasn't willing to compartmentalize and include him 😆
@@samgeurdi6351 I've been watching old bulls games that Isiah was an announcer for. If he still had any animosity towards that team or mj and scottie, he hid it well lol.
Great Interview! Oakl was a Beast...absolutely loved him as a Basketball WARRIOR as well as PIP WHOM happened to be a BAD MAN!!!! MICHAEL RAPPAPORT A GREAT MAN...SO MUCH FUN!!! GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!! PIP....WHAT A GREAT PLAYER!!!!
Deep down Oakley knew they should have beat the Bulls in the 93 eastern conference finals and went on to the NBA Finals and maybe won a championship that year, game 5 was such a tough loss.
Being from chi-town, I'll never forget 90s Basketball. Best Basketball you'll ever see weather it's the Bulls, Knicks, Pistons, Rockets ex.. best era by far.
LOVE the reaction Oak and Pip gave when Nique's name came up! The initial OHHH said a lot right there. While Pip was giving Nique his props, I dug Oak just shaking his head smiling. Even though Nique didn't get his just due accolades (50 greatest, wasn't 1st ballot HOF, etc.) ALL the players past and present give him props. If u factor his mentality AND freak athletic ability, probably the most physically dominant scoring machine the SF position EVER SAW! Of course Doc is the godfather. And Lebron in general OVERALL is the most physically dominant. BUT Nique's MENTALITY like Pip said to attack scoring the rock AND his freak athletic ability made him special! My favorite player of all time!!! Show less
First off, I absolutely loved this!!! Secondly, it's way too short....Thirdly, though I loved the Isiah bashing, I wish Mike would've asked Oak about Barkley!!!! LMAO!!! I hope there's more of these with other players from the 90's to come.
Guys Scotty is not the only one that don't like Isiah. Man I just realised there's a lotta guys that don't like him. Either way great player but he's not liked by many NBA basketball players. Forget the fans. Damn Oak said it too. Didn't even know he felt that way
Actually I'm not an Oak fan I'm a MJ fan. Check out the videos online and listen to most of the players opinions. I've never had a problem with Zeke. It's just other people opinion
2 of the greats Scottie Pippen hands down one of the greatest 2 way players of all time. Oakley was a get right to the point player no games and that is what is missing from today's game.
Tyler Reckless lol I don’t give a fuck about his personal life that’s his problem, but Scottie the player is one of the top 10 defenders to ever play the game and two way player. If you don’t think that Scottie was just as important to Jordan Career just as Jordan was to his cause without Scottie he would have been the 80s version of Wilt Chamberlain where he got all the numbers, but could only we 1-2 championship then that’s your opinion. lol and Scottie is not my favorite player maybe not even my top 20 favorite so get that out of your head my guy cause I know you thinking that.
you can tell that pippen really respects oakley in that speech around 7:54. as much as they were super competitive since oakley got traded to ny i think the respect never got lost. i personally too would love to see oakley staying in the bulls for the entire time pippen and jordan were on the team.
As a Bulls fan I love the Knicks rivary it was something special! I was rooting for them vs Rockets and I'm from Texas I really cried when they lost game 6&7 cuz Jordan retired and Knicks couldn't beat the bulls
This was good, very good. I feel like we need to do a series....say a series about 5-7 segments long, 1st segment is someone like Ernie Johnson mediating the conversation of questions, about an hour long, first hour long segment is Dennis Rodman and Alonzo Mourning, second is Reggie Miller and John Starks, third is Larry Bird and Bill Laimbeer, fourth is Scottie Pippen and Isaiah Thomas, fifth is 3 members of the Detroit Pistons Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton and 3 members of the Indiana Pacers Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Jermaine O'Neal and everyone not needing to be polite or hold back talk about why they hate another to there face, and answer some questions the fans wanna know....this would win an award and be an ultra viewed segment.
Tyler Reckless Calm down dude haha, you’re all over this board with fire in your mouth. His reaction is funny, I don’t care about taking sides. Scottie never liked Isiah as a person, and he’s not even the only one who doesn’t like Isiah. Nobody is questioning Isiah’s abilities.
Has Lebron ever made an all defensive first team? LeBron fans love to say he can guard all 5 positions, yet I’ve never seen him guard a center for an entire quarter let alone a game. He like guarding short point guards like DRose and Tony Parker. He’s never guarded Durant for an entire series. LeBron’s defense is just another example of how overrated he is as the NBA golden caff.
Glad I was able to fight through the initial cringe from the title and watch. Much better than what I was expecting. This might be the first time I've ever seen Scottie Pippen give insights that were actually interesting. It's funny that I used to absolutely DESPISE Scottie Pippen. Hated him with fucking a passion. But knowing what I know about him now, I see a lot of that was based on misunderstanding and I have a lot more respect for him.
@@COMMAPP I just thought Pippen was a complete bitch. The league used to always favor the Bulls in games because of Michael Jordan. Jordan was the money-maker, so that was at least understandable and I never really had anything against Jordan himself for that. But I hated Pippen because when it happened Pippen would always strut and talk shit as though he himself had actually done something on the play. Like if a player made a move on Jordan and the referee called an offensive foul he clearly didn't commit, Pippen would run up all cocky like "Yeah!!!" and smack the ball out of the player's hand. Just bullshit antics like that. But at the same time, Pippen(seemingly) was too afraid to ever stand up for himself and his major contributions to the team. He would let people dismiss him and disrespect him and just seemed weak. But I've since learned that it only seemed like he never stood up for himself because in the limited 90s media you didn't get to see the things Pippen said and did back then. And I now have a better understanding of what Pippen was facing at the time and that his personality isn't as weak as it appeared.
Those you callin Pippen a bum don’t know shit about basketball. The man could guard damn near all 5 positions. Guarded the best player on every team. Even carried the bulls to the ECF when mike retired the 1st time. 9 time all-star, several time all defensive player. Can get a bucket whenever he needed. Ran point. Film don’t lie.
Pippen is a great player but he never carried the Bulls to the ECF and He Made All Star Team 7x But Scottie Was A Great Player
Whenever a guy was given it to Mike they put PIP on him, and Mike was all first team defense.
I hated the Bulls, could never stand Jordan or Pippen, Knicks fan since I can remember... With all that being said Pippen is unlike anything we've seen in the NBA until Lebron came along. Give that man his credit PLEASE!

Even though Nique didn't get his just due accolades (50 greatest, wasn't 1st ballot HOF, etc.) ALL the players past and present give him props. If u factor his mentality AND freak athletic ability, probably the most physically dominant scoring machine the SF position EVER SAW! Of course Doc is the godfather. And Lebron in general OVERALL is the most physically dominant. BUT Nique's MENTALITY like Pip said to attack scoring the rock AND his freak athletic ability made him special! My favorite player of all time!!!
Show less
Gotta love Uncle Oak and Uncle Pip!! Real deal OG’s and legends!!
First off, I absolutely loved this!!! Secondly, it's way too short....Thirdly, though I loved the Isiah bashing, I wish Mike would've asked Oak about Barkley!!!! LMAO!!! I hope there's more of these with other players from the 90's to come.
2 true OG's of the game. great interview
Now this was when basketball was a game and not a 3 point contest...
the best youtube video ever. Thank you for making it.
Guys Scotty is not the only one that don't like Isiah. Man I just realised there's a lotta guys that don't like him. Either way great player but he's not liked by many NBA basketball players. Forget the fans.
Damn Oak said it too. Didn't even know he felt that way
Actually I'm not an Oak fan I'm a MJ fan. Check out the videos online and listen to most of the players opinions. I've never had a problem with Zeke. It's just other people opinion
Zeke wasn't an ass kissing member of the billionaires boys club, or the illuminati and he was the only real hood cat back then
@@lukata77 lol. yup
@Tyler Reckless yeah you're a straight up racist. This comment confirmed it. Explains why you don't have a profile pic. Coward.
@Ulysses432 there is NOTHING fake about the FIAT distributing, Rothschild run central banking system. Literally GTFOH, you indoctrinated puppet.
2 of the greats Scottie Pippen hands down one of the greatest 2 way players of all time. Oakley was a get right to the point player no games and that is what is missing from today's game.
The game def needs those Oakley type enforcers back. Keep the Zazas and Draymonds of the NBA away from your star players nuts!
@Tyler Reckless lol study my guy cause you tripping
Tyler Reckless lol I don’t give a fuck about his personal life that’s his problem, but Scottie the player is one of the top 10 defenders to ever play the game and two way player. If you don’t think that Scottie was just as important to Jordan Career just as Jordan was to his cause without Scottie he would have been the 80s version of Wilt Chamberlain where he got all the numbers, but could only we 1-2 championship then that’s your opinion. lol and Scottie is not my favorite player maybe not even my top 20 favorite so get that out of your head my guy cause I know you thinking that.
I love how Michael gets to do these interviews.....it's like a little kid talking to his favorite super heroes
Wow, that's some raw stuff! Love it! MORE PLEASE!!
Scottie need to run that fade with Isiah bring Jordan and Laimbeer just in case somebody tries to jump in.
"He (Thomas) is a snake!" hahahaha
Keep it real scottie from chi town
Waaay too short guys!! Yall gotta do better!!
MAKnificent TheGreat secure the bag 💼 alert 🚨
"Raport" talk way too much
This is the best video on UA-cam..amazing stuff!
this was sooooo good wow
I wish I could like this videos a million times
There's NO content like this on youtube. Pro, expro atheletes being REAL, thank you!!
Big-big thanks for THE SUBS! Great stuff overall!
Lmao. That damn Oak a fool. It's been 25-30 years and he still mad.
I played in a pickup game against Oak in CTown he was a physical beast.
you can tell that pippen really respects oakley in that speech around 7:54. as much as they were super competitive since oakley got traded to ny i think the respect never got lost. i personally too would love to see oakley staying in the bulls for the entire time pippen and jordan were on the team.
You should do more of these. Solid sit down for Rapaport 🕶
Huge fan of Scottie 🙌🏼
18:40 Pippen with no regard for Isiah Thomas life 😂😂
I love both of these players!!
Pippen, for one season, was as good as MJ. I can't remember the exact year, but I remember thinking that he was as good as the GOAT.
No.
Michael Rapports swag is so 90s.
Boy, get over that Starks dunk! He dunked NEAR them, not on or over them. They weren’t trying to get a foul there.
We need more of this!!!
Please get more legends like these guys
Scottie has the Sylvester Stallone vibe.
omg seeing Michael hug Oak, you can tell he loves him. Right away I knew that Michael would be the host here.
KENDRICK PERKINS AND CHARLES OAKLEY SHOW, PUT IT TOGETHER.
When your name gets mentioned nearly 10 times during an interview without you there like Michael Jordan - you know you're great!
This was back when real men played basketball.
Two bulls greats and legends..
As a Bulls fan I love the Knicks rivary it was something special! I was rooting for them vs Rockets and I'm from Texas I really cried when they lost game 6&7 cuz Jordan retired and Knicks couldn't beat the bulls
one the best interview i seen in a while
This was good, very good. I feel like we need to do a series....say a series about 5-7 segments long, 1st segment is someone like Ernie Johnson mediating the conversation of questions, about an hour long, first hour long segment is Dennis Rodman and Alonzo Mourning, second is Reggie Miller and John Starks, third is Larry Bird and Bill Laimbeer, fourth is Scottie Pippen and Isaiah Thomas, fifth is 3 members of the Detroit Pistons Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton and 3 members of the Indiana Pacers Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Jermaine O'Neal and everyone not needing to be polite or hold back talk about why they hate another to there face, and answer some questions the fans wanna know....this would win an award and be an ultra viewed segment.
I like how you think...
True legends
Scottie’s reaction at “Isiah Thomas”. Love it.
shutterbugblues he’s keeping that same energy 🤣🤣
Tyler Reckless Calm down dude haha, you’re all over this board with fire in your mouth. His reaction is funny, I don’t care about taking sides. Scottie never liked Isiah as a person, and he’s not even the only one who doesn’t like Isiah. Nobody is questioning Isiah’s abilities.
Pipen savage answers about Isiah Thomas haha
Lebron wish he could play defense like Scotty Pippen.
Eddy CHERESTAL I dare you to try and shoot an open court layup with Lebron behind you
@@lukata77 easy, if the defender is taller than me I'll just reverse the layup.
That's B ball 101
I'm gonna start charging for these lessons Kamal.
@@lukata77 go to UA-cam type Kobe analysis on Scottie Pippen defense.
Kamal Lukata oh god we have a moron that believes a rundown block is actually Lebron’s signature move. 😆
Has Lebron ever made an all defensive first team? LeBron fans love to say he can guard all 5 positions, yet I’ve never seen him guard a center for an entire quarter let alone a game. He like guarding short point guards like DRose and Tony Parker. He’s never guarded Durant for an entire series. LeBron’s defense is just another example of how overrated he is as the NBA golden caff.
Pip hates Zeek too much but he forgot Laimbeer orchestrated the "freeze" no handshake game.
Glad I was able to fight through the initial cringe from the title and watch. Much better than what I was expecting. This might be the first time I've ever seen Scottie Pippen give insights that were actually interesting. It's funny that I used to absolutely DESPISE Scottie Pippen. Hated him with fucking a passion. But knowing what I know about him now, I see a lot of that was based on misunderstanding and I have a lot more respect for him.
Just curious, why did you hate him?
@@COMMAPP
I just thought Pippen was a complete bitch. The league used to always favor the Bulls in games because of Michael Jordan. Jordan was the money-maker, so that was at least understandable and I never really had anything against Jordan himself for that. But I hated Pippen because when it happened Pippen would always strut and talk shit as though he himself had actually done something on the play. Like if a player made a move on Jordan and the referee called an offensive foul he clearly didn't commit, Pippen would run up all cocky like "Yeah!!!" and smack the ball out of the player's hand. Just bullshit antics like that. But at the same time, Pippen(seemingly) was too afraid to ever stand up for himself and his major contributions to the team. He would let people dismiss him and disrespect him and just seemed weak.
But I've since learned that it only seemed like he never stood up for himself because in the limited 90s media you didn't get to see the things Pippen said and did back then. And I now have a better understanding of what Pippen was facing at the time and that his personality isn't as weak as it appeared.
Mike Rap, great host! Lot of energy and passion goin' on with him.
I wish i had the oak as a dad... i would have been a drill sergeant lol
@4:15 "I aint want to get traded!" LMAO Mike WAS that Chicago Franchise and when they forgot he left on they ass... TWICE!!! LOL
