MJ had two teammates that could dunk from the free throw line (Pippen, Kukoc)

I remember something about Pippen telling MJ he would do it during the dunk contest as a first dunk. He proved to people that the dunk wasn’t a big deal and was over hyped. Pippen did that dunk the furthest and with the shortest run up

its more about the slow motion. and it's actually a nicer dunk when you take off with a foot on the line which is why his last and final free throw dunk that was his shortest distance actually became his most iconic one because he tilted himself forward and did a kicking motion while cocking it back.

pippens dunk was plain and ordinary like Jordan's first attempt at it

Don't think anyone forgot. I think a fair number of guys can dunk from the free throw line. Not many can do it as nice as mj though. Even this pip one is pretty ugly looking as far as free throw line dunks go.

The only difference with MJ’s was that he stuck out his tongue.

Mj did a free throw line dunk from slightly further pip and it was alot nicer also. They also started from pretty much the same spot so not sure what your talking about. MJ's done the free throw line dunk like 6 times dude. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OD54eF2XKJA Pippen one was ugly as hell.

Jeff Green can also do it - you remember him - he's a good proxy for what Pippen would've been if he never played with MJ

Yeah GrayGoat is clearly just hating. Mj had way more style and height. On this one u showed he took off a bit closer but mj's rookie year one he took off a bit further than pip and it was still way nicer. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OD54eF2XKJA
