Pippen's passing and footwork were underrated

Pippen was an alpha too (at least became one after a couple slaps from Oak) because there's no way a beta could yam so viciously on so many people.

I'll put him vs. ANY small forward in history. Pippen didn't have the freedom like other smalls. He had to play UNDER Jordan and stay within the confines of the system.
this is revisionist bullshyt. Scottie was a great player, but he wasn't ever gonna be a 25+ scorer. at his peak he was gonna be a 22/8/5. which is about what he did with Jordan, minus a point or 2.

lol nikka please Pip getting washed by Bron, KD, Bird easy.

You dudes with your jumping to conclusions posts. No where did I say he was better, relax. I said I would put him against any of them, meaning that he could hold his own, not saying he is better because he's NOT. Also he's NOT getting washed easily, sit down :camby:you prolly wasnt there. And if you was :camby:again.

Ironically, a lot of those moves look like Mike.


That's what happens when you get to play with the GOAT:yeshrug:



Breh's a graceful athlete, tho.



Think he'd be a 25 8 8 guy in the league right now

He was a 22 9 and 6 guy during Jordan's first "retirement," finished 3rd in MVP voting and led them to 55 wins--they won 57 the year before with Jordan. Even without Jordan if they would've added 1 star with Pippen as the alpha they most likely would've won a chip, might've gotten a few.

He only played a couple of years versus Bird and foh with what they would've done. You taking like Pip didn't do his thing versus Grant.

And I wasn't referring to you breh. I KNOW your old ass was ther. :pachaha:Are y'all dudes on your period today?

The only issue with Pippen was that he wasn't a beat you off the dribble and create offense/scoring player unlike Nique and others at the 3. He was good at almost everything...his defense was pure greatness.

He's the father of taking the charge. I swear he made that shyt an art.
