Pippen on MJ’s Early Playoff Struggles

“Michael Jordan was 1-9 in the playoffs before I joined the team.” – Scottie Pippen Pippen has often pointed out that people overlook the fact MJ didn’t find playoff success until he arrived. Before teaming up with Pippen, Jordan’s Bulls failed to make it past the first round in his first three postseason appearances. Do you think this takes away from Jordan’s legacy, or is it just part of the story that made him great? #NBA #MichaelJordan #ScottiePippen #Bulls #NBAHistory #NBADebate #NBAPartners #MyNBAGOAT #Dynasty #Sports

Kevin Durant on Why Warriors Fans Hate Him

KD’s blunt response. He won back-to-back Finals MVPs in 2017 and 2018 during Golden State’s championship runs. While those titles solidified his legacy, they also sparked endless debates among Dub Nation and NBA fans about his time in the Bay. Is KD right that the resentment traces back to him taking the spotlight from Curry in those Finals? #KevinDurant #Warriors #NBAFinalsMVP #DubNation #NBADebate #NBAHistory #Sports #NBA

Career honors (ABA + NBA): 4× MVP 16× All-Star 12× All-NBA 2× Finals MVP 3× Scoring Champ 3× Champion ABA’s Greatest Player of All Time Beyond stats, Dr. J brought style, flair, and cultural influence with his high-flying dunks, afro, and chains. So… is B/R underrating him, or is top-15 all-time too generous? #NBAHistory #DrJ #JuliusErving #NBALegends #Top15 #BasketballGOAT #NBADebate #MyNBAGOAT #Sports #NBA

Does Shai’s Ring Outweigh KD’s Two?

Is Shai’s ring a bigger legacy marker for the Thunder than KD’s will ever be for the Warriors? #ShaiGilgeousAlexander #KevinDurant #OKCThunder #NBA #NBADebate #MVP #HoustonRockets #Warriors
