The article mentions the 94-95 year, Pip doesn't mention a year or Mutumbo, only says in response to the interview stating that it was crazy that he never won DPOY that the media was too busy watching Michael.

94-95 doesn't make sense because Mike only played 17 games. How would Mike have affected voting that year?
Most of y'all in here would say Jordan is the greatest defensive SG of all-time on top of the overall GOAT. The 17-game return of that player can easily break the narrative of the degree to which Pippen was carrying the team on either side of the ball.

Many here believe if Pippen doesn't land in Chicago he'd be a scrub. Whether we had as much 24l7 access to personal opinions or not 25 years ago, that sentiment isn't a Coli original.

fukk pippen. 6 championships and he's still going out of his way to be a bitter bytch. He hasn't played in so long they made him a statue.

Next he's probably gonna complain that Michael was tipping a blackjack dealer too much during a game because he was trying to show up pippen.

He was up against tough competition, he played in the same era as Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Dikembe Mutombo, Mark Eaton, Gary Payton etc some of the greatest defenders of all Time so its not all surprising even if he was deserving of at least one award.

20 years later and Scottie still mad at the wrong people
Is he? The media and Jordan’s propaganda team are responsible for people viewing Pip as nothing more than a Robin who was along for the ride

Got no prob with him speaking up. He’s still pulling punches. He needs to let people know that without him and Phil, Jordan was nothing more than a more efficient Westbrook

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


Pip was not a better defender.
than the real glove michael jordan.
Pip issue is because he created an internal coup of kukoc.
When pip should have moved to the one and gave kumoc his shine at the three.
Maybe if pip took over the leadership role at the one.
Like mike did at one point and averaged a triple double outside of one blow out game.
Pip possibly would have created a narrative at the one..instead his assist numbers would have been shared with kukoc the waiter.
playing a euro wing three and handling the ball distributor role and maximizing the phil bigger is better backcourt.

Instead pip schluped't because of an errant contract he signed.
That even at the behest of reinsdork instructing him not to do.

So all this lashing out at jordan.
Makes no sense. As pip would still have been at avia.
Starving instead of having a nike endorsement from jordan gifting it to him.
Just the nerve of pip. To act as though mike never aided him. When mike was how pip offset an errant contract.
pip signed at the behest of one of the cheapest owners in all of bball.
Of ehich jordan alleviated his financial woes by...hooking pip up with nike.
When mike could have blocked pip.
