I think of more Shawn Marion than I do Pippen, the passing game of Scottie sets him apart, where as Marion (underrated) was a beast on the boards during his prime Suns years. Best year from Marion was 22/12/2/2, which is something Gus would be like today.

You have to take away modern medicine and training strategies from current players and assume they would have grown up in the same conditions as 60s players before you can compare them.

Plus taking away the blueprints for their games, which were these older players (imagine a Kobe with no Jordan :eek: or a Jordan with no David Thompson :ohmy: etc. etc.)
