Scottie Pippen instantly saw something special when he joined the 1999-00 Trail Blazers—he called them the most offensively talented team he’d ever played on, even compared to his Bulls days. Instead of carrying the scoring load, Pippen focused on defense and leadership, letting stars like Rasheed Wallace and Steve Smith shine. That shift nearly took Portland to the NBA Finals and left a lasting impression on fans. Looking back, it’s wild how Pippen’s selfless approach helped a young, hungry squad punch above their weight. What do you think—could that kind of team-first attitude make a difference in today’s NBA? #Sports #Basketball #ScottiePippen
