Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen held an impromptu Twitter Q&A with NBA fans Monday afternoon, and the all-time great had plenty to share.
Pip can’t fathom his legendary 1995-’96 Chicago Bulls losing more than about seven regular season games if they hooped in today’s League—they won an NBA record 72 games during that magical season.
About 75. Game is less physical now and it would have opened up more scoring opportunities for us. https://t.co/BDrlutCHm2

Other topics of discussion included Pippen’s thoughts on his all-time starting five, comparisons to Kawhi Leonard, and the challenge of guarding LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
I'll go with the modern age guys: LeBron to run point, Kobe at SG, Durant at SF, Duncan at PF, Shaq at C. https://t.co/onSwJVeUSq

He's a great player so I can't complain. He's getting better and better the more he plays. https://t.co/COECkirzVs

I'd say LeBron, but I think Steph Curry might be the toughest player to guard in the league. https://t.co/jGx1reqBxa
