Brehs, correct me if I'm wrong but did Pippen's game have any weakness?

Pippen was not a great outside shooter but he was adequate and at least a threat out there. But other then that he didn't really have any weaknesses to talk about. He may not have excelled in any one area other then defense but he was solid to above average in all other categories which helped make him the player he turned out to be.

I think Pippen was a better defender than Leonard in his prime. He was one of the top 5 defenders of all time second only to Rodman and he was a better defender than Mike.


Pip really was not better than mike on d.
Mike is the original glove.

To the point mj wants his nickname back from payton.
Pip gained enfamy from sticking magic in the finals.
Which made more sense as pip was a cut down on the size and length mismatch that magic had on ANY AND EVERY BACKCOURT IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA.

Pip's weakness was confidence to mentally checking out.
when he was no longer the man and started to schlup it up after mike came back. When Krause played hardball and would not buy into paying pip and Phil their worth.
Which resulted in the bulls never going for seven titles and disbanding.

He wasn't a good consistent shooter, specifically from the outside.

He loved them pull up 3's too much.

But that's all a reach. They guy was scary great.

That was later,....before pip established himself.
Mike was winning dpoy the year in the backcourt and was called the glove, breh.

Pip was not better on d.
Pip had the luxury of length, and was younger with a motor.

Since ny is the news pr capital.
It gets lost because so many ny people were rejected by mike.
killing the knicks gentleman sweep after gentleman sweep.
It is just like the mj cry catching on only because of vast hate towards mj they can't be vocal about because mj already sent their horse to the glue factory in that race.
So they pull the passive aggressive route.
Or just plain try to act like mike was not as good as he was in the other facets of the game.
Mike was also the best trick shot under duress shot maker by textbook execution ever in the whole sport as well.
So, it is hordes of narrative spun falsely to keep Jordan from his full due.
Even the glove was ripped off from Jordan and payton was Not as good as jordan defensively either.

what make you say that?

You think Pippen would be a 1st option if he played with Malone, Robinson, (young) Barkley, Ewing, Hakeem, Shaq or Drexler?

MJ WAS A GREAT DEFENSIVE PLAYER, BUT HIS DEFENSE WAS OVERSTATED .. MJ WON DPOY IN HIS 4TH SEASON, WELL BEFORE REACHIN HIS PRIME .. IT WAS AROUND THE TIME STERN BEGAN SHOVIN HIM DOWN THE GENERAL PUBLICS THROATS. PIPPEN WAS A MUCH MORE VERSATILE DEFENDER, LONGER, MOVED BETTER LATERALLY..MJ MIGHTA BEEN THE BETTER HELP DEFENDER, BUT THATS ABOUT IT.

POTENTIALLY, YES..IT WOULD BE ANOTHER WESTBROOK-DURANT SITUATION, AS PIPPEN WAS CLEARLY ON ALL THEIR LEVEL. MJ WAS TOO, UNTIL PIPPEN HELPED ELEVATE HIM TO THAT NEXT TIER.

All three of these quotes by you are made in the vein of a Kobe Stan who knows he was never as good as mike.
You and the false forced narrative are on bullshyt and you know it.
Get over it,....kobe is not better than air Jordan.
