He’s not wrong at all, but people are going to insist otherwise because of their biases to Jordan. A lot of Pippen is saying is the truth, but people won’t admit it.
Scottie Pippen "I should've won Defensive Player of the Year, but media was too obsessed with Jordan

- Start date

It's all about the inches
A lot like what? Cuz Scottie Pippen wouldn't even be on the 75 team if he didn't play with Jordan
He should be focused on the FUTURE not the past
So the media voters were focused on Jordan when he finished 3rd in 94?

Even on the court we stay flyy, Jada & A.I.
What year was he supposed to have won it precisely, and why?

so this were u dudes went
Jordan wasn't winning the award over him 
What the hell Jordan got to do with mutombo and Hakeem taking the award? If they obsessing over Jordan why Rodman and Alonzo mourning winning them?
What the hell is pippen talking about?

Pippen is 100% right, but damn does that sound like some left field hating on Jordan 
What was the year Pippen should have won?

Goddamn this man is so bitter.
He definitely should've won a DPOY award but it's tiring how he constantly has to phrase his entire career as: "I could've...I would've...I should've...but MJ". He's like the Bret Hart of basketball.
I mean for HIM that’s a valid thing to be upset about
Folks (especially young nikkas round my age) do underplay Pippen and his greatness a lot simply because of MJ
I can 100% see where all his frustrations are coming from and if you don’t you still got MJ’s nuts down your mouth tbh

People are obviously missing Pippen's overall comment. Pippen was never viewed as a viable DPOY candidate because the media was fixated on Jordan and him being the anchor of their defense and not Pippen. We see that in the league today where a lot of dudes are taken serious as DPOY candidates as people view other members of their team as the key to their defense. If you don't believe it, look over there at Boston and Robert Williams who doesn't get the credit for what he means to Boston's defense.

yeah i prefer specifics over a generic i shouldve won one at some point in time. ill make a case for him during the 94-95 season. bulls were no.2 in defensive rating, he led the team in steals and blocks with more than any other 2 starters combined and defensive rebounds by 153. i think you'd see more of a push for pippen to win it if that season was being looked at by the voters of today. that said i could do without the whole its jordan and the media's fault bs.
It is known that Pippen is my favorite player of all-time, but he goin out bad.
He wouldnt be the player he is without MJ.
Sure, MJ wouldnt have the 6 titles w/o Pip, but MJ's individual greatness would have still shined through w/o Scottie.
BUT, Pippen should have won at least DPOY
