Kobe Bryant explains why Scottie Pippen is widely regarded as one of the greatest defenders in NBA history. His defensive prowess was defined by a rare combination of athleticism, versatility, ball IQ and relentless intensity. At 6’8″ with a 7-foot wingspan, he had the size to battle in the post and the agility to guard perimeter players. Pippen had an exceptional understanding of team defense. He was particularly great at help defense with anticipation to play passing lanes and being a step ahead to cover teammates by rotating to cut off driving lanes and taking the charge.
