Scottie Pippen is a name which has always been taken alongside Michael Jordan. But this moment was all about him. In fact, it is considered the best individual moment of Pippen's career by fans around the world.

In the Game 6 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, Pippen unleashed a thunderous dunk over Ewing. Ewing was known to be a punishing shot-blocker but this time the tables turned and they turned against him bad.

The play happened really fast. A block at the Bulls' end; Armstrong bringing the ball past half-court for a fast break; he passed the ball to his right wing where Pete Myers was in the lane; Myers dished the touch pass to a raging Pippen. And rest all was for the crowd to cherish.

Pippen considers the Ewing Dunk as unarguably the best slam of his career.

“That’s probably got to be at the top,” he said. “Any time you dunk over a seven-footer and a so-called shot blocker, it’s something. It’s probably one of the most replayed dunks of mine that you see.”
