Loving Pippen's dunks. The special thing about Pippen's poster dunks is in my opinion that he
1. is the guy dunking on someone else. In today's NBA poster dunks often are a result of dumb defending by big man scrubs who come to help way too late and thus get posterized. In this vid, you can see that in 6 or 7 of the 10 dunks the defender was in a great position to block that dunk but Scottie just said "I go right over you". (Brent Barry was maybe the only real dumb try in this top 10 vid)
2. Scottie is posterizing great player. I mean, as good as some poster dunks were in the past, it's a difference if D-Wade goes over Varejao or Rose over Dragic, whilst Scottie dunks on Mourning, twice on Ewing, on Dale Davis, Charles Barkley and Charles Smith.
Oh and another thing: how great was the NBA in terms of physical play at that time: that Charles Smith foul would have definitely caused a fight and a technical or maybe even an ejection in today's game.
