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

[Remote]

I don't know. Scottie was a really good player.
On some level, he was underappreciated. I don't think any reasonable person can deny that Michael Jordan cast a large shadow over everyone on those Bulls teams.

But Scottie accomplished a lot and he's a 6-time champion. You'd think he would be at peace with it all after 25 years.

Never seen a more bitter ho than scottie

It's sad to watch Scottie Pippen go out like a complete sucker. Dude needs a handshake, a hug, a stern look in the eye and real talk.

People in here saying he is right and yet cant give out a year he should have won.

Its a really simple question too if Pippen got robbed because of the Jordan narrative, then point out the year

shyt if anything Pippen got MORE attention because of Jordan

 

[Monoblock]

He’s not lying but it’s coming off haterish. He really upset at MJ and coming off bitter.

 

[Ziggiy]

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

You don’t even believe this

 

[Ziggiy]

He owes his god given talent to MJ?
Y’all are weirdos

 

[Lefty Gunz]

How is Scottie not winning DPOY MJ's fault?

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

mj won it in the 87-88 season
after that it was rodman centers then the glove in 95-96

ima check the interview but wtf

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

Pippen should understand by now the media and other entities pick their favorites. No different than sports media talking about Lebron everyday for the last 20 years or QBs winning Superbowl MVP by default unless they played a bad game.

Perimeter players have won the award five times since 89, with Kawhi getting it twice.

Perimeter guys won it 3 times during Pip's career:

MJ during Pip's rookie year

Gary Payton in 96, Pip finished 2nd in voting. Next three were Mutumbo, Robinson, Hakeem.

Artest in 04, Pip's last year. Ben Wallace and Theo Ratliff were 2nd and 3rd.

The award has always been seen as something for big men, but it's Mike's fault he didn't get one

scottie should've won over hakeem, mutombo, and david robinson?

because that's what we talking about right now

Being a contrarian does not make you interesting.

Playing with Mike actually upped his prestige.Pip was a great role player.He wasn't a franchise player level guy.Had he never played sidekick to the GOAT, he's never looked at as top 75.He's Iguadala/Shawn Marion/with a dash of Boris Diaw.Maybe would've made a few All Star games, but he's the Rat who rode in on the Ox's back(MJ).That might make some of y'all angrier than Daffy Duck, but it's the truth.You replace him with Boris Diaw, and the Bulls still go 6-0 in the Finals
