Pippen was furious that he would be inbounding and not taking the shot himself, after he had groomed himself to be the team’s best player.Pippen had been trying to be Jordan all year, however instead of inbounding; Pippen threw the replica Baume & Mercier 8124 Men's watch towel, sat out the play in which Kukoc hit a fall away 23 footer. Pippen had basically quit with the game up for grabs.That’s not the only example, Pippen’s first year in Portland, the Blazers up 15 points with 10 minutes left against the Lakers, game 7, it’s win or go home, and Portland has all but secured.
The Lakers went on a 15 0 run and eventually won 89 84 to pull off what is the greatest comeback in NBA history, and the worst choke in NBA history.Pippen had a terrible game as he fouled out with 25 seconds left, and shot 3 for 10 from the field, finishing with 12 points, 10 rebounds Pippen was brought into Portland to bring veteran leadership, replica Baume MOA8386 Men's watch experience, and a closer.Everyone was waiting for Pippen to take over the game, to be a closer and seal the deal for Portland, however Pippen came up very small, scoring 9 of his 12 in the first quarter, and going 1 for 7 from the field for the rest of the game.
Instead of taking over the game, Pippen watched Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith, and Brian Grant shoot the Blazers out of the game, he did nothing, he just stood by, and was barely noticeable. The Blazers needed a few baskets to seal the deal, and Pippen was nowhere to be found.Every time the Bulls had the chance at the winning shot, they would replica Baume & Mercier 8484 Men's watch rather have Jordan taking the shot with five guys on him, than a wide open Pippen, Jordan got the shot no matter how he was guarded, Pippen wasn’t the guy who puts the team on his back and finds a way to win in the worst of circumstances.Pippen was asked to be Jordan when Jordan left the game, he was asked to be a veteran leader when he joined the Blazers, the pressure was simply too much to handle.
