so basically what Pippen saying, he's better scorer than KD, Harden, Steph, Bron, Kawhi, AD and Giannis? 
Pippen just said he could average 40 in this era

Pippen's credentials: played in the NBA, 6x NBA champ, 7x All-Star, 3× All-NBA First Team

hardens shot creation just stops working in the play offs every year for some reasonIt doesn't work like that breh
Very few people in NBA history have Harden's handle, isolation and shot creation ability... and Pippen isn't one of them.
And I don't even like Harden's game to be defending him like that
Lets keep it G no one wants to truly guard him because he will foul you out with his ho shyt. No one cares in the reg season and harden takes advantage of that like he does the refs.
When the playoffs come the most random est of nikkas will turn him into kuzma
Ive never seen any offensives great look like kuzma struggling to get his
Jordan Nope
Kobe Nope
Duncan Nope
Bron Nope
KD Nope
BUt harden is an all time great
Why is basketball the only sport where they ignore context
No one thinks Stafford is an all time great or better than marino because he plays in the AFL compared to what marino played in
Nba fans like to act like the game is the same or hasn't been altered for some weird ass reason

Lol, I do think he's a fraud and his stats are inflated, but he's a step or 2 above Pippen when it comes to scoring
He did have a good series vs the Warriors last year tho.
That's the whole point tho, pippen is saying i could get 40 if i played like a fraud.Lol, I do think he's a fraud and his stats are inflated, but he's a step or 2 above Pippen when it comes to scoring

But he can't since he's not in the same realm as Harden scoring-wise.
He never received the same attention the bearded fraud gets and was still a mediocre shooter.
Even if was to draw fouls at the same rate as Harden does, he was still subpar at shooting them for a wing player.
25 a game is much more realistic.
hes averaged 23 in the slow 90s pace why would 25 be realistic in this water down league with much faster pace and no defense/ player motion.
nikkas are in denial about the state of the league.

Pip wasn't a good enough shooter for that. His J was just too inconsistent. His style also meant he was pass first and not a single minded scorer so I don't think he could be near that. Somewhere between 25-28 is more realistic.

He's not a good enough shooter to deal with zone defense, and even if he were to hunt for fouls he'd still waste too many points at the foul line.
He's never received the same defensive attention top scorers constantly received. It's not like he was constantly double or triple teamed or had whole teams scheme designed to stop him

He’s not averaging 28. Pip was an open court player. You’re not averaging 28 per game with that jumper and half court game.
You can’t just say in this era he’d automatically be a strong half court player and be able to take 10 threes. That’s what some people in here are saying.

What does how he played defense for a handful of games 20 years ago have to do with this?Why he could no stop Mashburn and jim jackson from running trains on him

The year Mike retired and he was the undisputed #1 guy....remember the Bulls replaced Mike with Pete fukkin Myers. The only other two good players were Horace Grant and a young Kukoc
He put up 22/9/6 with 3 steals a game.....he was getting most of the defensive attention esp on the perimeter...the Bulls had no other good guards or SFs
I agree his jumper was shaky but is it really such a stretch to think he could score an extra 4 points a game esp in a league where offensive stats seems to be inflating. I don't think it is. He shot 32% from 3 which aint great but it's not totally broke either. He could have gotten to 26 pretty easily imo

How many players are 5 or less pts away from averaging that?How is everyone doing it when only 3 players are averaging 30 PPG?
