True that. The whole Jordan carrying Pippen thing is overblown. How many sidekicks have Kobe, Lebron, Dwyane Wade, Vince Carter or Tracy McGrady "produced" ? Magic Johnson "made" Big Game James Worthy who's a Hall of Famer more than Jordan made Pippen. Was Pippen one of the Greatest 50 players of All Time? Debatable. But he was certainly one of the 5 most versatile to ever play. I could argue Pippen's versality is more a "prototype" for today's players than Jordan. Jordan was just a freak. Players like Andre Iguodala, Joe Johnson and bad health Tracy McGrady for their teams are how Pippen in is prime (without Jordan) was for his. *sigh...* Man I loved Pippen early on, why'd he have to be such a terdhole on the Rox. Malone's just a built flopping jump shooting dirty asshat. People hate Dirk Nowitzki, but he's nowhere CLOSE to Malone in deserved hatred. Dirk's flaws come from a b**** place, Malone's from an intentional cheap shot smug arrogant ******* place.
I think Malone is better and had more talent than Pippen, both deserved to be there, but I hate it to see them there.
Considering Jordan's HOF speech I'm sure he already privately told Pippen he carried him...true or not.
Malone deserves to be there, hate or or not. And I really hate it, but reading anything positive about him, especially after what he did to his son, words can not express how much of a vile human being he is. We poke fun at Shawn Kemp, but at least we havent heard him rejecting one of his kids.
IT hurts to admit that both Karl and Pip really do deserve to be in the HOF. Their on court abilities were amazing. They're off court persona's were jsut horrible; well Malone's at least. I was actually a big Pippen fan before he came to the Rockets, and I was over the moon when he was traded. After that horrible year, I sure don't like Pippen much anymore, but I still appreciate he was a great player.
