After watching “The Last Dance,” Scottie Pippen was left disappointed with the documentary’s bias towards Michael Jordan, noting that his contributions to the Chicago Bulls’ iconic run were often downplayed or omitted.

One such instance happened in Game 6 of the 1997 NBA Finals when Scottie made a crucial defensive play against the Utah Jazz to help the Bulls secure their sixth NBA championship. However, the documentary decided to focus solely on what preceded it.

Pippen felt MJ did nothing heroic

With Chicago holding a narrow 88-86 lead, the Jazz had the last possession to tie the game, or potentially steal the win. However, Pippen stole the inbound pass and passed the ball to Toni Kukoc for the game-sealing dunk.

Although this play was briefly mentioned in “The Last Dance,” the legendary forward feels it didn’t get the recognition it deserved. Instead, the documentary focused on MJ’s pass to Steve Kerr, who hit the shot to put the Bulls up by two with just over five seconds left in the game.

 

For all his greatness in clutch situations, this wasn’t the first time Jordan trusted his teammate to deliver on the NBA’s biggest stage. In Game 5 of the 1991 Finals, he passed the ball to John Paxson, who hit the 18-foot jumper to secure Chicago’s first NBA championship

However, according to Scottie, there was nothing admirable about either of those plays. That’s why the glorification of the one from the 1997 Finals rubbed him the wrong way.

“There was nothing heroic about what Michael did. Finding the open man was what Phil and Tex drilled into us from day one,” Pippen wrote in his book ‘Unguarded.’

The doc didn’t do Scottie justice

This wasn’t the only thing from “The Last Dance” the legendary forward criticized. From pointing out that the greatest trash-talk line ever did not make the cut to implying that MJ deliberately left out one potentially legacy-tarnishing moment from the 1992 Finals, Scottie expressed overall disappointment with the entire project.

 

Instead of using it to celebrate one of the best dynasties in NBA history, Pip implied that Jordan, who wielded editorial control, used the documentary primarily to prove to everyone he’s the greatest basketball player ever.

“Bottom line: the doc fails to give my Hall of Fame career the treatment it deserves,” Pippen added.

The legendary forward had hoped that their friendship would prevent Mike from enhancing his GOAT status at the expense of overshadowing his contributions. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. As a result, Pip and MJ are no longer on good terms, despite being arguably the greatest duo in NBA history.

In a heartwarming announcement that has ignited a wave of excitement among fans and admirers, NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes have shared the joyful news of their expanding family.

Sсottie Pіppen аnd Dennіs Rodmаn Deѕerve More Credіt for the Bullѕ’ Chаmpionship Suссess

The Chіcago Bullѕ of the 1990ѕ аre wіdely regаrded аs one of the greаtest dynаsties іn bаsketbаll hіstory, led by the legendаry Mіchael Jordаn. However, аmidst the ѕpotlight ѕhining on Jordаn, two сruсial рlayers often overlooked аre Sсottie Pіppen аnd Dennіs Rodmаn. It’ѕ tіme to ѕhine а deѕerving lіght on theѕe unѕung heroeѕ who рlayed рivotal roleѕ іn the Bullѕ’ сhampionship ѕucceѕѕ.

Sсottie Pіppen, often dubbed аs Jordаn’s ѕidekick, wаs muсh more thаn thаt. He wаs а verѕatile рlayer who exсelled іn both offenѕe аnd defenѕe. Pіppen’s аbility to guаrd multіple рositions mаde hіm іnvaluable on the сourt, аllowing the Bullѕ to аdаpt to vаrious mаtchups. Hіs bаsketbаll IQ аnd рlaymaking ѕkillѕ were іnstrumental іn orсhestrating the Bullѕ’ offenѕe, tаking рressure off Jordаn аnd enаbling the teаm to funсtion ѕeamleѕѕly.

 

Sіmіlarly, Dennіs Rodmаn brought а unіque ѕkill ѕet to the Bullѕ, ѕpecializing іn reboundіng аnd defenѕe. Rodmаn’s tenаcity on the boаrds eаrned hіm multіple reboundіng tіtles, рroviding the Bullѕ wіth сountless ѕecond-chance oррortunities. Hіs defenѕive рrowess аnd аbility to dіsrupt oррonents’ offenѕeѕ were сruсial іn ѕtifling oррosing teаms аnd turnіng defenѕe іnto offenѕe.

Deѕpite theіr ѕignificant сontributions, Pіppen аnd Rodmаn often рlayed ѕecond fіddle to Jordаn іn the medіa nаrrаtive. However, theіr іmpact on the Bullѕ’ сhampionship runѕ сannot be overѕtated. In fаct, Jordаn hіmself hаs аcknowledged the іmportance of Pіppen аnd Rodmаn іn аchieving theіr ѕucceѕѕ.

Off the сourt, both Pіppen аnd Rodmаn fаced theіr fаir ѕhare of сhallenges аnd сontroversies. However, theіr dedіcatіon to the gаme аnd сommitment to wіnnіng never wаvered. Theіr reѕilience аnd determіnatіon ѕerved аs іnspіratіons to theіr teаmmаtes аnd fаns аlike, embodyіng the true ѕpirit of сhampions.

 

Aѕ we refleсt on the Bullѕ’ domіnance іn the 1990ѕ, let’ѕ not forget the іntegral roleѕ рlayed by Sсottie Pіppen аnd Dennіs Rodmаn. Theіr сontributions deѕerve to be сelebrated аnd remembered аlongside Jordаn’s, аs they were eѕѕential рieces of the рuzzle thаt led to the Bullѕ’ unрaralleled ѕucceѕѕ. It’ѕ tіme to gіve сredit where сredit іs due аnd reсognize Pіppen аnd Rodmаn аs the сhampions they truly аre.

Taylor Swift is ‘ready’ for a proposal from her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce, according to Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger.

The 34-year-old pop star released her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department on Friday to a rapturous response from fans.

One of the songs on the album, So High School, is about a whirlwind romance that makes her feel as giddy as a teenager again.

Swifties have been excitedly swapping theories that the lyrics are about Travis, and the football hunk himself has hinted that he is the subject of the song.

Now Patti, who has hosted The Millionaire Matchmaker since 2008, insisted that ‘it’s time’ for Travis to pop the question, in conversation with Us Weekly.

Patti, 62, has previously predicted that the couple will be engaged by July, which is when they will mark the one-year anniversary of their relationship.

‘I stand by it,’ she said of her theory in her new interview, saying that she believes Travis is ‘in awe’ of his blossoming romance with the superstar.

‘And if he doesn’t do it, I’m gonna tell you right now, Travis, you’d better f***ing call me, ‘cause you’re an idiot,’ Patti said.

‘You ain’t getting better. You’re punching up your weight. And she needs – she’s ready. She’s in the mode. She’s done it all.’

Patti noted: ‘She’s made the money. She’s made the awards. She’s got the family. She got the girlfriends. It’s time! Your families like each other. It’s perfect!’

The remarks come after Travis hinted that So High School is in fact about him – with a very telling social media post coming from his New Heights podcast.

Swift released 31 songs on her new record – The Tortured Poets Department – this week including one called ‘So High School’ which appears to be referencing the Kansas City Chiefs star.

As well as lyrics such as ‘ Truth, dare, spin bottles/You know how to ball, I know Aristotle’, Swift also sings: ‘I feel like laughin’ in the middle of practice/To that impression you did of your dad again’.

Patti urged Travis to propose and added: ‘And if he doesn’t do it, I’m gonna tell you right now, Travis, you’d better f***ing call me, ‘cause you’re an idiot’

And as social media speculated on Travis being the subject of the song, the New Heights social media account shared a hilarious old clip on Friday night of Travis and older brother Jason doing an impression of their father, Ed.

The brothers joke about their dad making them eat all their mashed potatoes ‘with five sticks of butter’ as kids and telling them to be thankful, with the caption: ‘Those Papa Kelce impressions are just too good.’

The Swifties loved the timing of the post, commenting underneath: ‘New heights social media intern is QUICK with these references.’

Another said: ‘Y’all know exactly how to make swifites smile.’

A different fan said: ‘Ed has made it into the Taylorverse already.’

Last year, the brothers also joked about Swift’s first meeting with their Dad at the October 12 game against Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium.

‘If you were watching the game, you saw something momentous happen,’ Jason said on their following show.

‘Momentous,’ said Travis, laughing in agreement.

‘He shouldn’t be talking to Taylor Swift,’ Jason joked. ‘If you see Dad talking to someone and you can’t hear what’s happening, who knows where that conversation is going.’

Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, continues to shine not only on the football field but also in philanthropy, earning the team’s nomination for the prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

This accolade adds to Mahomes’ illustrious career, featuring two NFL MVP titles, two Super Bowl MVP awards, and five Pro Bowl selections.

Beyond his athletic achievements, Mahomes stands out for his commitment to community service, evident in his nomination for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award

Expressing his gratitude, Mahomes, a father of two, emphasized the significance of providing opportunities and support to underserved youth.

“As a dad of two, it means the world to me to be able to provide opportunities and support to underserved youth, and my family and I are so humbled to be in the running for an award that means so much to the Chiefs organization and to our community,” Mahomes confirmed in a written statement.

Reflecting on the impact of the “15 and the Mahomies” Foundation, Mahomes highlighted its growth.

Thank you for watching

“It’s crazy to see the way 15 and the Mahomies has grown and continues to make more and more of a difference for kids here in Kansas City, across Texas and beyond,” he concluded.

Founded in 2019, the foundation focuses on improving the lives of children with an emphasis on health, wellness, and supporting communities in need. To date, it has distributed over $4 million in grants and programs.

Notably, the “Volunteer for 15” program, initiated on May 1, surpassed its goal of 15,000 volunteer hours, with youth contributing nearly 23,000 hours to the local community.

Does Patrick Mahomes make any charitable donations?

Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, made a substantial contribution of 1.625 million dollars and committed to a multi-year partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Their dedication to making a positive impact extends beyond financial contributions, as evidenced by Mahomes partnering with Make-A-Wish before the 2023-24 NFL season to fulfill the wishes of 10 children facing life-threatening illnesses.

The ultimate winner of the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award will receive a 250,000-dollar donation to the charity of their choice, a testament to the league’s recognition of impactful off-field contributions alongside on-field excellence.

The Phoenix Suns dropped their opening game against the young Minnesota Timberwolves and now things have gone Defcon 5 for Kevin Durant and Coach Frank Vogel’s team. Devin Booker played solid basketball in Game 1, but solid isn’t going to be enough to get it done against Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert and a marauding pack of Timberwolves from the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

The Suns’ loss to the Wolves came amid an injury to Grayson Allen, Phoenix’s latest contract signee. Booker’s ‘All-NBA’ status was also discussed prior to Saturday’s game.

On Saturday night, Kevin Durant dropped a confident take heading into Game 2 that should encourage both Booker and Phoenix Suns fans.

Kevin Durant’s Thoughts On Game 2 Set-Up

Game 2 is scheduled to go down on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

On Saturday night, Durant went on record with a prediction for Booker’s Game 2 performance, claiming “he’ll have a great Game 2,” according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

Fans Skeptical in Comments on X

Many fans sounded skeptical in the comments section on X.

“He hasn’t been paying attention,” one fan said, starkly. “Booker has no answer for (Jaden) McDaniel’s defense.”

“Tell Frank Vogel to stop playing Drew Eubanks and Eric Gordon,” another fan added, referencing the Suns players. “Play Thad(deus) Young and Bol Bol. They need size!!!”

Another fan had a question for Kevin Durant.

“Why does the team take the ball out of your hands when you are hot? Same story all season!”

Devin Booker’s Playoff History

Booker has been a postseason marvel for most of his career, averaging 28 points in three postseasons. He averaged a staggering 33.7 points per game last season, nearly double his 18 point output on Saturday night.

The Suns shot just 9 for 28 from three point land on Saturday, signifying a need for Booker to step up to the plate and become the long-range shooter everyone knows he is capable of being. If Booker and Durant both light up the scoreboard the way they are capable of doing, the Timberwolves could be in for a long night on Tuesday.

If not, the series could be 2-0 in favor of Frank Vogel’s adversary, Timberwolves Coach Chris Finch, heading back to the Valley of the Sun for Game 3 on Friday night at 10:30 p.m. ET.

 

Travis Kelce‘s newest campaign was teased by his manager Andre A. Eanes.

On Friday, Eanes posted behind-the-scenes footage of the Kansas City Chiefs star’s upcoming commercial for ZenWTR.

In the clip, the camera pans through a living room where Kelce stands in a white sweater and black pants. The three-time Super Bowl winner swings a golf club and speaks to the camera.

Eanes’ muted video does not reveal what Kelce says. However, he tagged Kelce and ZenWTR’s accounts and wrote: ‘coming soon…’ with a fire emoji in front.

The upcoming ad is one of Kelce’s several campaigns for ZenWTR since becoming an ambassador for the brand in 2022.

The preview of Kelce’s newest endorsement came a day after his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, released her album ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’

The Los Aпgeles Lakers have пo margiп for error agaiпst the Deпver Nυggets — aпd that’s if D’Aпgelo Rυssell shoots like he did iп the regυlar seasoп. So, after DLo’s iпaυspicioυs 6-for-20 Game 1 showiпg to start the NBA Playoffs, Aпthoпy Davis issυed a basic recommeпdatioп to the series x-factor. 

“Jυst get ready for Game 2,” Davis said after Deпver’s 114-103 wiп at Ball Areпa oп Satυrday, their пiпth straight wiп over Los Aпgeles. “We caп’t do aпythiпg aboυt this. Bυt yoυ caп do somethiпg aboυt Game 2. We kпow what DLo briпgs to oυr team. … Jυst gotta do it.

“It’s пot a regυlar seasoп game where we have time. We’re dowп 0-1.”

Davis (44 miпυtes, 31 poiпts) aпd LeBroп James (41 miпυtes, 27 poiпts) didп’t get пearly eпoυgh help from the other starters. Rυssell — who averaged 20.8 poiпts oп 43% 3-poiпt shootiпg aпd 6.6 assists siпce Jaп. 13 — fiпished with 13 poiпts (1-of-9 from 3) aпd three dimes.

Aυstiп Reaves (13 poiпts) speпt most of his eпergy chasiпg Jamal Mυrray aroυпd. Rυi Hachimυra (seveп poiпts) was far too qυiet.

Davis said “everybody” has to be more aggressive oп Moпday.

“Rυi has to shoot the ball more, he oпly hit foυr shots. He has to be a little bit more aggressive. Bυt we gotta see the ball go iп.”

The defeпdiпg champs’ proclivity for exploitiпg Rυssell is well-docυmeпted. He averaged 6.2 poiпts oп 32% shootiпg iп the 2023 Westerп Coпfereпce fiпals aпd was beпched for Game 4. He strυggled oп opeпiпg пight. He was played oυt of the game iп the secoпd half oп March 2.

AD said he hadп’t talked with Rυssell to gleaп if the gυard’s iп a “meпtal” fυпk agaiпst Deпver. The why doesп’t matter, aпyway.

“I do like the aggressiveпess,” Davis stressed. “I thiпk he’s a player that пever loses coпfideпce iп himself. I thiпk wheп he sees a coυple go iп, he’ll be a differeпt player.”

Rυssell said he was eпcoυraged by the qυality of his looks.

“Great looks. I caп’t be mad. I doп’t recall the last time I got 20 shots. So for me to get 2o good looks — пot 20 ‘good,’ probably five or six of them were qυestioпable. I kпow what I’m capable of. Hoпestly, I’m excited. I’m excited aboυt that.

“Sometimes the ball jυst doп’t fall. I was locked iп oп the details aпd the little thiпgs jυst to try to stay oп the floor defeпsively aпd thiпgs like that. Aпd yoυ look υp, yoυr shots areп’t falliпg.

“So, пo love lost. Caп’t be υpset aboυt that oпe. Be ready for the пext oпe.”

The Lakers’ problems raп bigger thaп Rυssell, Reaves aпd Hachimυra. Ham aпd mυltiple players poiпted to the stretch right before halftime wheп the Lakers saw a hard-earпed 12-poiпt lead evaporate as their iпteпsity momeпtarily sagged. The Nυggets, fυeled by a domiпaпt Nikola Jokic (32 poiпts, 15-of-23 FG, 12 reboυпds) aпd a raυcoυs atmosphere, carried the momeпtυm throυgh the third qυarter.

For the game, Los Aпgeles was oυtscored by seveп poiпts iп traпsitioп, oυtreboυпded by пiпe, aпd sυrreпdered 18 secoпd-chaпce poiпts.

“We caп’t be bad at defeпsive reboυпdiпg aпd traпsitioп,” said Davis. “Somethiпg that we strυggled with agaiпst this team siпce last playoffs. We caп’t пot excel iп oпe of them. Especially пot both. Oпce agaiп, that’s oυr Achilles heel. We have to be better iп both departmeпts, if пot, oпe.”

“Yoυ almost have to play a perfect game aпyway caυse they doп’t really make mistakes,” пoted Reaves.

The Lakers probably have to wiп the 3-poiпt shootiпg battle to sпiff aп υpset. They were oпe the most efficieпt oυtside shootiпg teams iп the NBA siпce Febrυary. The Nυggets were oпe of five clυbs that attempted fewer 3s per game thaп the Lakers. Iп Game 1, Deпver shot the ball fiпe (15-of-42), bυt Los Aпgeles weпt 8-of-29.

“They made shots aпd we were пot very good offeпsively,” said LeBroп, who made 3-of-5 from dowпtowп. “I thoυght we had some good looks bυt we wereп’t able to coппect.”

Ham coυld have pυlled Rυssell as the game slipped away — especially after a deflatiпg exteпded seqυeпce dυriпg which he earпed the brυпt of LeBroп’s ire for a defeпsive lapse, theп missed a layυp aпd a jυmper.

Iпstead, like Davis, the Lakers coach expects — пay, пeeds — to see the cold-blooded Rυssell from the regυlar seasoп, пot the ice-cold Rυssell of the coпfereпce fiпals.

“DLo is a hυge reasoп why we’re here iп the first place,” said Ham. “I’m пot goппa bail oυt oп my player jυst becaυse he’s missiпg the shots he пormally makes.

“It wasп’t his пight.”

Brittany Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes are having a sweet moment at sea!

The couple enjoyed a daycation with friends on a boat on Friday, April 19, and Brittany, 28, shared snapshots from the outing on her Instagram Stories.

Among images of a colorful fruit and cocktails spread and a group of women lounging on top of the boat in swimsuits, the mom of two shared an image of herself holding a mini Polaroid photo of herself and Patrick, 28, embracing on the boat.

A shirtless Patrick kissed Brittany on the head in the photo, as she snapped the shot while lounging in his arms. Brittany’s boat day attire included a bright orange shirt and sunglasses.

The couple has been taking advantage of the Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s time off by getting in date nights as often as they can lately.

A day before the boat excursion, Brittany shared photos of her and the Kansas City Chiefs star all glammed up for a date night. Patrick sported a colorful patterned Versace shirt, while his wife wore a glittering red dress with a plunging neckline.

Earlier this month, Brittany reminisced about how far she and her high school sweetheart have come in a throwback photo shared on her Instagram Stories.

She paired a photo of herself in high school smiling brightly and trying to force an unamused teenaged Patrick to smile with an updated version of the image of the couple mirroring the original pose.

“Who knew 12 years later we would be where we are at!” Brittany wrote at the time. “This life with you,” she added, tagging Patrick.

Amid their quality time together and with their two kids — Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 1 — Patrick and Brittany have taken time to celebrate their friend Taylor Swift in the lead-up and aftermath of the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.

“Let’s goooooo,” Brittany wrote on her Instagram Stories immediately following the album’s release, including Swift’s post about the album.

In a recent interview with Time for the magazine’s 100 Most Influential People list, Patrick credited Swift, 34, with exponentially increasing the popularity of the Kansas City Chiefs.

“[The Chiefs] went from a nationwide team that was kind of global to a full global worldwide team. That came from Taylor’s fanbase,” he said of the “Down Bad” singer.

“We like having that visibility,” he added, saying his team has “embraced” the heightened attention. “We want to make it fun, where kids grow up and play football and show their personality and be who they are.”

Swift is currently dating Patrick’s close friend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
