Absolutely hes a max player getting payed the mid level exception
@Kawhi’s Uncle Dennis jordan a billionaire now & im sure Scottie got a couple hundred million. But he can make money off his name easily now.
Mid? 😐
@Moses working From other teams? Because he had many players making more. That’s around the time $100 million dollar contracts came out
@Sebastian Martinez , lol at a couple hundred. no, larissa pippen made sure of that. btw, athletes who “got” a couple hundred milllion wouldnt be working in espn. they would be retired.
@Moses working He was 122nd in salary league-wide that last season with the bulls.
Who TF was Pippen’s agent??? 🤦♂️
Probably Ray Charles 😎! Because, dude didn’t read 💩
There’s NBA players making the same mistake today even though they’re making much more
Mf had to be high on CRACK! *Stephen A voice* lmao
The agent works for him. He can’t make him sign the contract.
TDreacts
Jordan was making 30 million a year
Was Stephen A lagging?? Tell that man test his connection and rejoin the party
Lmaooo
It’s the 5G
Man i thought it was my phone lol
jkhan23 you not the only one😂
Stephen A has left the chat
Imagine signing an $18M – 7 year contract extension in today’s NBA. 💀💀💀
$2.8 million dollars was a lot of money back then. Sure he should have been paid 5 -10 times more, where was his agent? His agent provided very bad representation.
Nowadays, he would net between $300-350 mil over 7 years 😨
Different times back then, you really can’t compare contracts through each generation.
Musicrecords10 feel that.
Even back then, that was still robbery
It breaks my heart when he talked about his father and brother. I’m glad he took care of them.
M That’s where the part people don’t get. He signed the contract because he wants financisl security, he has a large family to take care of. Sure, It wasn’t smart of
him to sign that contract but you can’t blame him either as after he signed the contract the NBA took off.
しゅんくん the thing was the Bulls management knew this and did Scottie wrong !
꧁WorldIsCold꧂ Well, There will always be a tyrant in every business. I don’t blame Pipp tho.
꧁WorldIsCold꧂ typical Jew behavior, nothing matters just make as much profits as possible.
Exactly I think that’s one of the reasons why he signed a contract so fast
Scottie was criminally underpaid. He should sue for robbery.
Mike Kirkland lol
I mean I’m not gonna shed a tear about it. 😑
@Speed Racer that’s why he signed the contract. He wanted long term security even though his agent warned him not to as the market prices were most likely going to change, Reinsdorf even warned him not to sign the contract.
@Space Alien gee isnt that the point in owning a business?
@Booney Nong L
I feel bad that Future banged his wife
@World Tree202 Nah, he’s good. Future tossed her after he was through with her.
I fault her she should have knew better she probably did after he retired 2 while the money was good 2 I am with u on that
@James Moore that beta took future broad and child, so wat that make future?! 🤔
@HOOKEM da Gawd A woman is never YOURS, it’s just your turn.
@SuperPunch76 why y’all always gotta blame someone and make her look innocent. foh.
Scottie Pippen got robbed.
Thanos it’s funny cuz nobody talks about how mj was making the same amount Scottie was until 96
Emery Bryan Rodman to
His fault.
Emery Bryan the Bulls was just wrong on both guys. They was the best perimeter players in the league and gettin screwed.
Scottie pippen should have fired his agent before the paperwork 💯
The salary cap in 1991 was 12.5 mil
And then he should have hired Suge Knight to go get his paper for him.
His agent told him not to sign the deal…
Ken Marshall the owner told him not to take that deal
@Emery Bryan yeah I know
I remember Jordan and Pip had terrible contracts.
I think every NBA player would say the same thing about their own contract past and present
Forever Gooner right Jordan was making about 3 mill a year until 1996
@1990758 Not none of these Superstar players. MJ started making money in the last 3peat. He was doing 1 year deals.
Lol I mean MJ had Nike though
It’s a crime that Pippen never got a Defensive Player of the Year award.
Aaron9 that’s misleading since they were defensive specialist that only needed to play defense.
@Oobz Ruger you are either nuts or never saw MJ play because MJ deserved the DYOP he got plus he won the MVP that season. He was a beast on both side of the ball, go check the stats young fella! SMH
Tommy Israel still hard to argue against Hakeem and guys like Robinson. These guys are getting almost 2 steals a game and blocking another 3 shots. Then you include the advanced stats, defensive win shares, etc.
Oobz Ruger no he wasn’t the teams best defender. 1991 finals who locks down Magic to end the series? MJ. In game 7 of 1997 or 98 who locks down Reggie to 0 points? Mike. Mike was always the best defender Idek why people act like Scottie was better than him lol
Emmanuel Enyinwa it’s sad people like you believe that. There is so much footage of jordan locking down elite players in the playoffs series that matter one on one when Pippen couldn’t stop them
He grew up with his father and brother paralyzed. I don’t think anyone knew this about Scottie.
Exactly I never did maybe some of the people in Chicago a lot of things they see and here in Chicago we probably don’t I never knew Reggie Miller had his own show when he was with the Indiana Pacers
U knew abt it?
druvboss Gaming bruh you sound dumb af
“Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, They should speak Scottie Pippen.”-Michael Jordan
roberto5red5rocky but Jordan wouldn’t be the GOAT without Pippen fool. And how do you know Pippen wouldn’t become a great player??? He had god given ability and athleticism. He just needed the right coaches and players to help him along. He was a top 5 pick because of his potential.
@Im ILLmatic but he didn’t so just stop it..😂
apson1 that’s actually kinda facts
Dom Killuminati Who says Lebron won by himself??? Never heard that one lol. They talk about Ray and Kyrie shot 24/7 actually 😂
They do. He couldn’t of done it without Pip.
Imagine getting that crappy deal then marrying a gold digger?!! Bruh! 💀
@Chuke Wise i would only ask how is future not a legend in his own right?? Did u know future is the only artist in history to release 2 albums in 2 weeks both topping the billboard and going platinum?? Thats legend status in itself
@First Name Last Name The contract part is on him too.
I like Scottie, but he’s made a lot of terrible decisions. Both on his contract and marrying a gold digger. Really poor decisions!
@Derrick Davis And?
Derrick Davis yes he took pay cuts but remember he was making 10s of millions of shoes then don’t even make me mention other endorsements with Gatorade
Scottie was my favorite player growing up. But at 35yrs old now lol. I’m not feeling sorry for a multimillionaire lol.
Subconsciously I am feeling the same. All the people feeling sympathy and for him have a sense of entitlement. I, honestly, have no time for those types of people. And the fault is Pippens himself. He needs to own up to that just like Antoine Walker does.
Nobody forced him to sign that contract, its not like a crime was committed. Feel bad for the less fortunate, this guy made 50 to a 100 million dollars. Gtfoh
I think 11pm came quicker last night than any other night of my life. Who else was pissed when this documentary went off last night?
Dav Smiv I would have stayed up all night to watch all ten parts if they showed the whole thing
Dav Smiv the first Two episodes were kinda dense and not that interesting so hopefully it gets better
@First Name Last Name Repeated a lot of the same stuff
Dav Smiv word I thought I was the only one. Normally 11 takes forever to get here
Lol I’m going to record all 10 parts on DVD
I like how they put in the story of his father and brother being unable to walk because it made sense why Scottie was quick to accept any money the initial money offered to him. He knew that his health was not guaranteed
The two Jerrys ruined the Chicago Bulls dynasty. Organizations win championships. Not players and coaches. Yeah, which is why the Bulls have won nothing since 1998! 🤦🏻♂️
I wish MJ and pippen came back with phil in the Lakers just to destroy the bulls every time they play..
true but eventually they were going to have to move on anyway
@Billy Lzer
Everything has to end. Everybody gets that i think. But with the bulls, it was premature.. they could have won 1 or even 2 more rings if the front office just swallowed their pride..
@Roland Tecson I don’t see how the front office could have any problems with the coaching staff and team that they had. You would have to be completely just out of the loop, indifferent and/or just plain dumb to think that they could do anything with anybody else.
They should’ve used Max Kellerman’s rap song from back in the day for this docu-series.
Chow Down Detroit true! Would have been more viral than covid
One of the most underrated scenes was Deloris Jordan reading her son’s letter from college. MJ needed money. He only had $20 in his bank account. And send postage stamps too. 🤣
Those are the most touching Parts when they interviewed the other family members. Same day with Scottie Pippen with the exception for a lot of the home Videos I’ve seen a lot of this stuff before on different shows but different camera angles I never seen a part when Michael Jordan was riding a bicycle but a lot of the NBA stuff I’ve seen before but hey it was still good
I’m shocked that Jordan’s mom looks that good at that age.
DonDada quarantine gotchu wanting them GILF’s bruh 😂😭😂.
Na just playin fam you know black dont crack, especially our women
Black doesnt crack.
It’s says more about the NCAA…
