Scottie Pippen Slam Interivew

[Fredsmooth21]

Best part:

SLAM: You came out on the winning end of that "Will the Heat win 72 games?" discussion. How'd you know it'd be so tough for them to win so many games?
SP: I just felt it was an insult to every team that's played in this League to think that one team can be put together, and now all of a sudden we got-excuse my word-a jackass like Jeff Van Gundy saying they can win 72 games and break the Bulls' record. Who is he? So that was just something that he totally took out of proportion, to some degree-with respect to those two players, or I would say two and a half players, since I don't think Chris Bosh is half the player of LeBron James. But there's no way those guys are gonna break any type of record. I don't think they can break the franchise record in Miami, or the state of Florida, I should say.

they're probably going to break the franchise record in miami. In two years, this ought to be the best team in the league. no doubts whatsoever. they just need two mle's.

Ha! Ol' Pip...Bosh is the Rodney Dangerfield of the NBA. And I think Van Gundy was a bit off in his statements.

But here is what I don't want. I don't want Jordan/Pippen and those guys becoming the '72 Dolphins...drinking champagne and celebrating when other teams fall short...that would be tasteless...

Pippen did say that one of those Piston teams about 5 years ago...i think, would break the all time record so I don't expect him to be that type of guy...

i've never really heard those guys talk about that 72 win team in a way that they'd be 72 dolphins. I think pip was bringing it up because Van Gundy claimed they'd win.

I enjoy the last Part.
