In order to create momentum for his new book "Undefended", Scotty Pippen has repeatedly spoken out in recent times, and controversial remarks have also pushed himself to the cusp of public opinion. Especially because of the dissatisfaction with Jordan's documentary "The Last Dance", Pi Er Ye has a lot of criticism of his old partner Joe Ganglord, and it also shatters the three views of many fans - now it seems that the strongest duo in history, which was once rendered as a stronger than Jinjian, seems that their feelings for each other are not as stable as the outside world expects.
Even so, as a six-time championship winner and one of the most comprehensive small forwards in history, Pippen, as a celebrity, has an impeccable understanding of basketball, so there are still many people who are keen to get his comments about the current league. In the latest episode of "Trashtalk", Pippen, as a guest, promoted his new book as usual; discussed why he had never won DPOY as Jordan's strongest right-hand man and shouldered most of the Bulls' outside defense responsibilities, and in the show, Pi Er ye bluntly said that because the media were busy chasing Jordan, he did not have time to vote for him; during the period, there were also some interesting interactions, such as how Pippen was born in this era, how he would defend Giannis Antetokounmpo after being sent to the court by the coach.
Toward the end of the show, Pippen was asked an interesting question that brought the show to a climax — he was asked to name the strongest all-time best-starter five in his heart. Because of the breakdown of the relationship with Jordan, Pippen has publicly stated that James is stronger than Joe's grandfather many times, and believes that old Zhan is GOAT, so the question of the host of the show is quite meaningful. Unexpectedly, Pippen's answer was unexpected, and in the end he did not exclude his old partner and chose many old opponents.
"I'll choose myself, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson," Pippenton went on to say, "Looking at the league today, the sense of position is blurry right?" So give me Charles Barkley. I prefer to choose some old-school players. I'll also choose O'Neal, which will greatly strengthen the offensive capabilities of this lineup. ”
However, the above five are not the final version of Pippen, because he chose to kick the old man Barkley out, replaced by the leader of the younger generation, the "Greek monster" Giannis Antetokounmpo. In fact, not only Pippen, but even Barkley praised the alphabet brother, saying bluntly in esplanade that the alphabet brother was even harder than Jordan.
At the end of Trashtalk, Pippen says, "No, no, no, take Barkley, please." Give me Janis, the fourth slot is Jannis, the fifth slot is Shaq. In this regard, Pippen's strongest five-man group in history was released: the first magician, the second Jordan, the third place by himself, and the interior line was partnered by O'Neill and Alphabet Brother.
The lineup doesn't look like it's going to be outdated in any era, they have unparalleled destructive power on the offensive end, there's no shortage of masters on the defensive end, and the only problem is that the small-ball era seems to lack some ability to project three-pointers, but given that there's Jordan and O'Neal on the team, that little flaw doesn't seem like a big deal.
The cleverness of Pi Er Ye is that although his relationship with Jordan has completely collapsed, he needs to maintain his relative neutrality and objectivity in order to always maintain that someone will invite him to the guest show and let him express his opinion from a professional point of view - any one of the best lists in history that kicks Jordan out is a hooligan. In addition, as the only player selected in the active duty, Alphabet Brother is enough to see his weight in the eyes of the older generation of stars, and it is easier to be recognized, can the two MVPs continue to replicate last season's success in this year's playoffs? Let's wait and see.
