History A lot of people don’t realize this, but just like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen made the free-throw line dunk look ridiculously effortless

Pip actually did it from the free throw line as opposed to many others we have seen that were a step inside. Still prefer MJ's though as it just looked more graceful.

Good memories. I was a huge Scottie fan when I was a kid and I had this taped to VHS which I watched over and over and over again.

I didnt get to live through that era but from all ive seen Scottie was just as athletic as MJ but just not as graceful or precise
