Nicholas Buchanan+FollowPhil Jackson in 1995: “Scottie Is the Greatest All-Around Player”Back in 1995, Phil Jackson had high praise for Scottie Pippen: “Scottie is such an unselfish player; he’s the greatest all-around player in the NBA right now... Now no one can score like Michael, and scoring is a wonderful thing to do, but it’s not the end-all, end-all.” Even in MJ’s shadow, Pippen’s all-around game — defense, playmaking, versatility — earned the respect of one of the greatest coaches ever. #ScottiePippen #PhilJackson #NBAHistory #Bulls #NBALegends #NBAHistory #Sports 110Share
Robert Johansson+FollowWhen Kobe Tried to Recruit Scottie Pippen to the LakersBack in 2005, Scottie Pippen briefly joined the Lakers’ training camp. His advice to Lamar Odom and presence on the floor left a strong impression — especially on Kobe Bryant. “He was in camp with us last season, and he looked like he was in great shape,” Kobe said in 2007. “I’m going to tell him there’s a place in the triangle for him.” Bryant praised Pippen’s defensive genius — the ball pressure, passing lanes, taking charges. Even at 41, Kobe wanted Pip to suit up in purple and gold. Pippen ultimately stayed retired, but his influence carried on, especially with Odom. Four years later, the Lakers were champs again. Do you think Scottie could’ve made a legit impact if he’d joined Kobe? #NBA #LakersNation #KobeBryant #ScottiePippen #NBALegends #Sports 261Share
