Scottie Pippen’s amazing slam dunk on Patrick Ewing

If there is one video that gives me a buzz every time I watch it, it’s the dunk that Scottie Pippen made over Patrick Ewing during Game 6 of the 1994 Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In my opinion Scottie Pippen is one of the greatest basketball players that has ever played the game and this video proves the point.

This is the classic Good vs Evil,  Bulls vs Knicks match up.

This could not have been a more adrenaline fuelled moment as the Bulls launch into a fast break resulting in Scottie Pippen receiving the ball several feet from the basket. It's a race to the top with Patrick Ewing being left helpless as Scottie soars above him and throws it down.

The picture in this post catches the moment perfectly as all anyone can do (including John Starks) is look on in disbelief as history is made.
Another thing I love about Scottie Pippen is his humility. The fact that he would be part of an awesome moment like that and then play it down in the interview by saying “It looks worse than what it is” just shows what a class act he is.

The bottom line is Scottie Pippen went chest-to-chest with the 7’ 1’’ Patrick Ewing mid air, posterized him, knocked him to the floor and then told the ever annoying Spike Lee to “Sit his ass down”.

It doesn’t get any better than that………..Scottie we salute you!.
