MJ has plenty of clips like that and was the primary defender on Magic - MJ guarded Magic for 70% of possessions to Pippen's 30%, as realgm documented:

So MJ was the primary defender on Magic, Isiah, Drexler, Payton, Reggie Miller, T Hardaway, Rod Strickland - he was always assigned to the other team's best perimeter player

Brilliant defense in that whole game from Pippen. They just happened to put Pippen on Magic due to Jordan having early foul trouble.

I also thought that was one of Jordan

Plus Jordan said himself how tiring it was trying to guard Magic and still perform at a high level at the other end of the floor.


And yet MJ was still the primary defender on Magic for 70% of possessions to Pippen's 30%, as realgm documented:

It's called fake news

MJ guarded Magic most of the series - this is easy to verify and it has been

Pippen didn't guard magic at all in Games 1 and 5.. he only guarded him for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of Game 2... And the 2nd and 3rd quarters of Game 3.... And the last 4 minutes of Game 4... That's a total of 6 quarters (30%) compared to MJ's 14 quarters (70%)

That's a total of 6 quarters (30%) compared to MJ's 14 quarters (70%)... Again, the pippen narrative is fake news.. and MJ also guarded Magic for the critical Game 3 OT, after Pippen fouled out in regulation.

Scottie:


“I decided I was going to try to work him and wear him down as best as I could. That was my plan, and whether it affected him initially, I didn’t know if it would or not. I just focused on wearing him down for the long haul—not just that game but throughout the whole series.”


And that's exactly what happened......

FACTS presented by NBA.com
You can repost the fake news as many times as you want but the facts are on my side - the tape don't lie

Pippen didn't guard Magic at all in Games 1 and 5..

he only guarded him for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of Game 2... And the 2nd and 3rd quarters of Game 3.... And the last 4 minutes of Game 4... that's 6 quarters for pippen (30%) and 14 for MJ (70%)

These are the facts... You simply weren't there at the time and don't know that the Bulls were perceived as a 1-man team, so the media was forced to blow up any non-MJ issue - they did this with the Pippen on Magic thing

don't get me wrong - putting Pippen on Magic was a factor that gave MJ a rest from guarding Magic full-time, but MJ was still the primary defender - this fact was lost in the effort to boost Pip and make the bulls more interesting than a 1-man show... But I guarantee that if those writers knew fans 30 years later would change it and make Pippen the primary defender on Magic, they would NEVER have given little Pippen those props at the time.

[andgar923]

As per usual... most of the full games are on YouTube.

And having seen the games live: MJ easily played him the most.

The fans aren't changing it, you are.

The facts have been written and you're trying to change history to make it look like MJ won on his own and did it all.

[scuzzy]

Rewatching Gm 2 right now and clearly Pippen is checking Magic on nearly every possession


Weird to see Jordan fanboys lie about this petty stuff, definitely not unusual though

[Hey Yo]

No MJ actually did guard Magic most of the time. NBA.com like most media presented a narrative, not the truth. Pippen did however present a unique challenge for Magic because he had the size to keep up with him. Most players that guarded Magic didn't have the size and if they did, they didn't have the quickness to keep up with him. Pippen could do both.

MJ played great defense on Magic but Magic could see over MJ.
Why would they be deceiving and lie? What was there to gain by doing so?

People wanted to read about the alleged one man show MJ, not Pippen.

At that time, they had no reason whatsoever to make it look like MJ did less than he allegedly did.

Their reasoning has nothing to do with me. Either MJ guarded Magic most of the time or he didn't. NBA.com told you one thing, the games tell you something different.

Chicago defended Magic with MJ, Pippen and Grant...with MJ defending him the lion's share of the time. Magic adjusted to Pippen's defense in Game 3. From that point on, Chicago gave Magic different looks to keep him off balance.

This point doesn't deserve that much back and forth. I believe all the games are on YouTube in their entirety.

NBC even touched on this in the intro to Game 4

No... but I guess I can see how you were confused. I was supporting what 3ball said, which was that MJ guarded Magic for most of the series. Everyone knows Pippen guarded Magic most of Game 2.

Nah actually Gm 2 he equally defended him in Gm1 + Gm 3 also, i'm literally watching them b2b right now

Jordan guarded Magic the majority of the series. Game 2 was the only game that pip guarded Magic the majority of the time.

no need to hop on your alt buddy, I just rewatched Gm 1, 2 and now on 3.

Did you watch Jordan anally rape the Lakers in that series?

It doesn't go 5 games if Pippen shows up for Game 1.

Jordan had three 30+ pt 10+ assist games in that series, the two others he had 29 pts 9 ast and 28 pts 13 ast :applause:

Alt? I don't play those type of games. Ain't got time for that non-sense.

Anyway, I watched the series live as it happened. I'm a Lakers fan and was pissed they lost. Thought it would of been a better series if Worthy didn't get hurt against Portland. A healthy Worthy would of been more of a handful for Pippen IMO.

Your trolling doesn't change the fact that Jordan guarded Magic the majority of the series.
