Scottie Pippen set the standard for the modern \u201ctwo-way\u201d gameplay that we witness today.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Nicknamed \u201cPip,\u201d he was the ultimate Swiss Army knife of basketball: scorer, playmaker, and defensive stopper rolled into one.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Pippen could guard all five positions, handle the ball, and run offense like a guard and attack the rim with authority. He impacted every single possession.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On the defensive end, Pippen always took the toughest assignment. It was Pippen\u2019s lockdown defense on Magic Johnson in the 1991 Finals that changed the series and helped launch a dynasty.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When Jordan stepped away in 1993, Pippen carried the Bulls<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> team to 55 wins in the 1993-94 season. Scottie Pippen was the bridge between defense and offense, the glue of the Bulls\u2019 six championships.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tell the kids: Scottie Pippen was not just a sidekick, but he was the prototype for modern NBA stars like Kawhi Leonard. He redefined what a forward could do and paved the way for the modern versatile wings.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
