pippin is one of the best all around players of all time. He's one of the most overlooked superstars of all time. His numbers were ridiculous especially those two seasons michael didn't play. 22 pts/9 rebs/5.5 dimes/ 3 steals/ 1 block on 49 percent shooting. That is one of the most impressive stat lines I've seen for a full season.
Pippen played great but jordan was a great player. Jordan wouldn't have won 6 without scottie, but he would have won at least 2. And for the record, jordan was the best defender on all the Bulls teams and HE would defend the other teams best player, not Scottie. Drexler and magic were played in the Finals by jordan.
I'll second that. Remember that Quitten almost took the Bulls to the Finals in '94. He was legit. He was that freakin' good. Anyone who thinks that Jordan made Pippen is fooling himself. Jordan, like Kobe, needed a good supporting cast. Pippen was his Shaq/Gasol. But the rest of the Bulls were much, much worse than the rest of the Lakers. And Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest of all time. Jordan's #2.
I agree with him, Pippen was crucial to the Bulls and was not easily replaced as someone stated on here. He was a unique talent and one of the top tier all-stars of that time but was overshadowed by Jordan's dominance. It'd be like saying Kevin Garnett is easy to replace.
Yeah thats Wayne Hall, I served him once at our restaurant. Guy seems respectable but did lie to me, said he would call me up if he ever had extra tickets to a Rockets game but never did. Wife was incredibly easy on the eyes though.
1) DUIs? I believe there was one time where Rudy was pulled over for suspicion of DUI, and it was thrown out. Not to mention, 2) Rudy gave his life to the organization, while Pippen was human garbage. That may have something to do with it as well.
The first post under the video is pretty funny: "you take T-mac off the rockets and they go to the second round!"
Pippen=Tmac Jordan=Yao take Pippen out and The Bulls(aka Rockets) get to the second round. Does this answer your question Tracy?
I guess the real question is if Pippen was not on the Bulls then who would have been in his place? If there is just no way that Jordan could have won a Championship with out Pippen then its time to stop refering to MJ as the greatest ever. That title just went to Dream because he won 2 NBA titles and did not need Pippen to do it!
