MJ never lead a team to over .500 without pippen...

[vegetarybrownrice]

1984-1987, 2001-2003 were the years he played without him

Get a fukking job bro.

 

[Raw Lyrics]

MJ lead the 97-98 Bulls to a 62 win season. Pippen missed half that season cause of foot surgery and barely was effective in the playoffs - cause of his bad back.

Bulls had 690. winning pct. without Pippen during his time on the injured list, they were on pace to a 56 wins season.

He's overrated like all SG's. If you ain't an elite NBA center, you can't claim to be a GOAT player.

So you gonna act like Rodman wasn't great and the Hawks wasn't winning games with Mookie and Steve Smith who aren't close to great.

KAJ is the GOAT and that shyt aint even close followed by Magic the MJ

So you gonna act like Rodman wasn't great and the Hawks wasn't winning games with Mookie and Steve Smith who aren't close to great.

Not at all, Rodman was great. But he was going to give you the 21 rebounds without the 21 points and 7/8 assist Pippen was going to give you. My point is, we have a half-a-season sample size of how Jordan did with the Bulls without Pippen, after Pippen was aquired by the Bulls.

This thread is about Jordan playing without Pippen. What topic are you on?

I think it's impossible to lay claim to who's the GOAT, given a variety of factors can determine an elite player's success.

MJ beasted, but it wasn't against many athletic guards like today
KAJ was real, however he didn't play in the Golden Era of big man
Shaq and Hakeem were nice, but they don't have the rings of Hakeem or MJ.
Bird played in a lackluster period for wings.

Bulls' Pippen rusty now, but he makes title likely - Baltimore Sun

on top of that, was 35 years old that season too

huh?

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

one person says jordan sucked without pippen, another person proves jordan was leading the bulls when pippen was hurt, another random nobody says he couldn't have done THAT without rodman, I realize you guys have way too much time in your hands, hate in your hearts, and dikks in your mouths

*strolls away*

what that got to do with this thread?

Pippen actually made his teammates better. The 94 season when Jordan left, both Armstrong and Grant actually made it to an All Star Game because of Scottie.
