Man get completely the hell out of here with that bullshyt. Ok so before Pippen was drafted what did Jordan win before then? You can conviently act like Jordan only played in the 6 championship years. Dude was on the wizards HE PLAYED! he played because he felt he could compete, so stop the nonsense.
He played THREE seasons before Pippen:
Rookie season: made the playoffs and lost to the Bucks in 4
2nd season: injured most of the season. Lost the the eventual,champion Celtics in 3 (took them to double OT in game 2 scoring an NBA record, 63).
3rd season: Averaged 37 that season. Lost to the Celtics again in 3.
4th season: Pippen and Grant are drafted. They do finally win a playoff series, but stop the bullshyt acting as if it was because of Pippen. Jordan averaged 45 against the Cavs to beat them in the first round. Lost in the second round to the eventual Eastern Conference champs, the Pistons. Pippen was a role player in his rookie season.
Why don’t you go look at who was on that Bulls roster in MJ’s first three seasons and tell me who’s making that team a championship contender. Name a player who was a top draft pick who made their team instant contenders. I’ll wait…
