Scottie Pippen Dunked All Over Ewing 24 Years Ago; 12 Other Memorable Dunks
I hate having to write this as a Knicks fan, but I wouldn’t be able to call myself a professional Journalist without making fun of my own team. Today, a mere 24 years ago Scottie Pippen threw down one of the more disrespectful dunks in basketball.
I mean from start to finish this dunk had it all. A beautiful bounce pass. A dunk over Ewing. The light push to the floor and then stepping over him while looking down. Just flat out disrespect on my guy Pat. Now naturally Oakley comes running in ready to throw hands, which just summed up this rivalry perfectly.
I always love seeing throwback plays trying to remember watching that live and then starting to think of other similar plays. So with today being a disrespectful dunk day, let’s take a look at some of the other incredibly disrespectful dunks across the NBA.
I have the 12 that came to mind right away for me. So, I ask you. Which one is your favorite? Which one did I forget about? To me the disrespectful portion extends past just the dunk. Sure, there’s a poster involved, but I enjoy the Shawn Kemp point or immediately talking shit.
