Scottie Pippen "I should've won Defensive Player of the Year, but media was too obsessed with Jordan

[Remote]

Should have had it wrapped up in the WCF but the refs fouled both Pippen and Sabonis out of Game 7 and gave the Lakers at 37 to 16 free throw advantage so they could squeeze out the victory.

A bunch of the calls in that game were fukking wild.

[media]

Egregious.

Being Robin his whole career really took a toll on him that he’s imploding 20+ years later

 

[AJtheOne]

Duncan might have been the GOAT rim protector but never won it because he never stat padded his rebounds

At least Duncan won MVP twice

 

[Erratic415]

Hard for a perimeter defender to have the kind of impact defensively as a center.

With the exception one year of Gary Payton, it was always centers winning DPOY during Pippen’s defensive peak.

The one that is more surprising is Duncan never winning DPOY.

Pray for Scottie Jr, seem like every month his mom or dad doing something goofy

 

[CHICAGO]

Scottie is right Not really a controversial statement

WHAT YR SHOULD HE HAVE WON?

[Greenhornet]

easily pippen is underrated
absolutely amazing player with size, speed, strength and all around game

 

[UpAndComing]

Make your case for the years he should have won it and over who

Ok Scottie Pippen's prime started around 1989

1988-89 Mark Eaton
1989–90 Dennis Rodman
1990–91 Dennis Rodman
1991–92 David Robinson
1992–93 Hakeem Olajuwon
1993–94 Hakeem Olajuwon
1994–95 Dikembe Mutombo
1995–96 Gary Payton
1996–97 Dikembe Mutombo
1997–98 Dikembe Mutombo
1998–99 Alonzo Mourning
1999–00 Alonzo Mourning


He should have gotten 1 off of Mutombo

I personally don't like seeing Centers getting 3+ DPOY awards. Yes they are great on defense, but it's lazy on the voters. While on the other hand non-Centers have to have to be all time extraordinary great defenders to even get attention

Now that I look at it, Pippen had stiff competition competing against Rodman, D-Rob, Hakeem, Payton, and Mutombo. So I could see why it was tough for him to rack up DPOY awards

Looks like Pip had alot of penned up frustration & angry that because they was winning championship he kept buried & now all that shyt is spilling out.

what?

 

[Primetime21]

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.

He is wrong. MJ wasnt his competition for DPOY year in and year out, if anything the media’s “obsession” with him would have boosted Pippen by association.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Michael won in like 88-89? Is he saying he should have won that season? Otherwise this doesn't make much sense lol

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

"everything was fine until Future got Larsa's number.."

"Scottie.. how did that occur.."

"i suspect it was Michael."

 

[TallMan_J]

He's right the fact that arguably the best defender ever, never won DPOY is a travesty.

This was when refs were outright betting on games.

 

[HabitualChiller]

Yeah, IDK if it had anything to do with MJ; but even now, if you were to ask people who they had in their top 5 perimeter defenders list, MJ would probably come up over Pippen.

In actuality, they were never really close.
