great regular season winning seventy-two games. They dominated the league winning the division, the league, and the finals. None of this would be possible without their star players. They consisted of many star player including Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. Michael Jordan returning from his first retirement, none of this would be possible without him. He retired to try out baseball because that is what he always wanted to do, but when he realized he was not as good at baseball
number six, is the great Scottie Pippen. One of the greatest basketball players ever, not to mention arguably the best defensive player of all time. Scottie Pippen will always be one of the greatest basketball players ever. Scottie Maurice Pippen was born on September 25, 1965, in Hamburg, Arkansas to Preston and Ethel Pippen, the youngest of their twelve children. Pippen’s family was not very wealthy and tried to push Pippen into playing sports which he was okay with. Pippen played not only basketball
Angeles Lakers in 2004. So when the “greatest player of all time” left the Chicago Bulls after his first retirement, one would imagine that the Bulls would have a failing season with a losing record, but in actuality, led by the defensive grit of Scottie Pippen, the Bulls dropped only two more games than in the previous season. With Michael Jordan in the 92-93 season, the Bulls had 57 wins, and in the 93-94 season without Jordan, they had 55 wins. I am not saying that Michael Jordan is definitively
right now but Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan and will get past whoever you put on him. Onto the Small Forwards with Scottie Pippen and Harrison Barnes. Scottie Pippen like stated above is somewhat a worse Lebron James and that’s just not what Harrison Barnes is(7). Barnes is an above average player who would start for most teams but dominating Pippen is a stretch. In the Game Pippen would most likely go to guard Steph to try and contain him as he is the Bulls best defender. The power forward matchup
crossed over Magic Johnson and was on a fast break, when he saw Pippen in the corner. Jordan whips the ball to Pippen and Pippen knocked a three down to take the lead. That was the first championship the Bulls had ever won. Their all-star player, Michael Jordan, was drafted in 1980. Nobody knew that Michael would lead the Chicago Bulls to their first championship series. The Bulls who had two all-star players, Jordan and Scotty Pippen, which of who were the Chicago Bulls top scorers. The team from

court advantage in game one; they won the first lost, the second then won the third and fourth. The series went back to Salt Lake City, and the Jazz won two more there making it 3-3. In game six, Michael Jordan had his finest performance ever. Scottie Pippen was reduced to limited play because of back pain, so Jordan had the weight of the finals on his shoulders. In the final minute, the Bulls were down by one point when Jordan stole the ball and made the winning jumper with 5.3 seconds left giving
It’s one of the greatest debates right now in modern time sports. Who is the greatest basketball player ever? Is it His Airness, or is it King James? The debate on whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the greatest basketball player ever is a prevalent topic in sports news daily. Many people believe that LeBron James is the greatest basketball player to be currently playing and also the greatest player to ever have played in the NBA. My theory, however, is that rather than LeBron James, the greatest
Everyday he was improving and trying his best to get better. One day, he was playing by the courts when a whole team comes and asked him to play because they need two more people to play. Michael then noticed Scottie and asked him to play on his team so it would be fair. Michael could tell that he was better than he used to be, he was ready for whatever came next. He showed all those kids that he wasn’t the kid that didn’t make the team, he was the kid that was
team, and he won a gold medal in the 1984 Summer Olympics. This USA team was known as the “Dream Team.” This team consisted of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, and many more legendary professional basketball players. In the Olympic games Jordan showed great skills on both sides of the floor, offensively and defensively. Those skills continued in the 1985 NBA basketball season

its way to the gold medal at the summer Olympic games. The team was named the “Dream Team” and it featured eleven of the NBA’s best players. Names like Michael Jordan, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, and Larry Bird headlined the games and the play of Scottie Pippen and “Sir” Charles Barkley stole the show. After only eight games, the world of USA basketball would never be the same. Since 1992 two more teams called themselves the “Dream Team” and two were simply labeled as “Team USA” but one thing is for
People all around the world have favorite sports teams and they support them even if they are having a bad season. In the NBA, the best team is not getting enough credit for what they have completed in the league. The best teams show great teamwork, strong gameplans, and of course, win the NBA championship.

Comparing LeBron James and Michael Jordan is like comparing apples and oranges. It just isn’t a fair comparison. There are too many differences. There are too many variables. There are too many fallacies that are involved to make a fair assessment to determine who the greatest basketball player of all time is. Unfortunately the comparison is being made seemingly every day, and the article by Mr. Mathis is full of fallacious material. His extreme uses of exaggeration and card stacking, along with
In Creating Minds, by Howard Gardner, three organizing themes are introduced. Gardner proposes that the creative activity of an individual is broken down into relationships: between the child and the master, between an individual and his work, and between an individual and other people. When studying Michael Jordan, three key moments in his life appear to represent these three principles and explain his success. First, proof of his level of dominance should be presented.

The Lakers won back to back championships in 2000 to 2002 with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. In 2009 to 2010, the Lakers won back to back championships again, but without Shaquille O’Neal himself. What is the cause for the Lakers winning the championship in 2000 and not winning a championship in 2010? First let’s talk about what caused them to win in 2000. The season starts in 1999 and the playoffs starts in 2000, so in 1999 the Lakers were having a great season. Their record were 67 wins

The History Of The Phoenix Suns I chose to write about the Phoenix Suns basketball History mainly because they have gave me, “the fan” great memories. The Suns introduced me to a whole new world of sports. When I watch their Basketball games it’s probably different from any other fan’s viewpoint. I tend to analyze their games and try to think what their next move is going to be. Other fans just cheer which is alright. Throughout the Phoenix Suns existence, they have had many great years as well as
When he discovered that his stars Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen didn't care for Krause either (to put it kindly), Jackson fed into that to get closer to them ( Erler, 2014). Some people say Phil was a just a good coach because of Jordan, but in the article by Erler it states When Kukoc finally did come over
