I need to balance Kush's inaccurate portrayal of my feelings about Scottie Pippen with this post. Here's one of the my top 10 Bulls plays of all time. It saved his career in Chicago...this happened during Game 6 of the 94 playoffs against the Knicks, in the first year after Jordan retired. This was a few short games after the 1.8 sit-out. (During Game 3).

A few notes about this play:
1. I love Johnny Kerr, but this is the one time he failed me. He should have gone ballistic here, and he was kind of restrained. This should have been Stacy King-like, "Did you get the Memo", squared. I would have loved it if he just started yelling at the top of his lungs, "F**& you Ewing! F**%you Ewing! This is Scottie Pippen's house!"
2. This is also the worst camera work in the history of basketball, since the camera cuts from Scottie walking over to Spike Lee, to tell him to "sit the f*ck down". That was the best part of the play.
3. This play illustrates his most underated offensive skill...he was a great finisher at the rim. I loved it when he took it to the basket. He was also a fantastic passer. I wasn't a fan of his jump shooting or attitude sometimes, but this post is about loving Scottie, so let's not get off on a tangent.
