Scottie Pippen vs. Dwyane Wade Comparison


Only thing wade does better is score. Pippen was never the first scoring option. He did evert else better than wade

There are these things called advanced metrics bro....not boxscore stats

PER, TS %, rebound percentage, assist percentage, ORTG, etc

As for defense, you have to watch with your eyes but if you're arguing that Wade wasn't an elite on and off ball defender who could guard multiple positions then we are done here.

Rodman outplayed Jordan, Pippen & Payton in an NBA finals but he was just a role player.

:forreal:

27/4/4 on 47/40/94 going up against the 2x MVP on a 73 win team. Name one Finals series Kobe had better than that.

Even then pippen>Wade in everything other than scoring.

At the very least they are comparable players skill wise.

Pippen 8 defensive 1st team awards

Wade 0

Yeah, we're done

All I see is an irrelevant gif

All I seen was an irrelevant post

Now tell me what did Rodman do outside of being an elite rebounder and elite defender that could switch 1-5? He is HOF with those two skillsets but TT is very good in both regards though not HOF level.

Explain to me in words?

You said Rodman was "slightly better" than Tristan Thompson


Rodman wasn't an elite rebounder....he was a GOAT rebounder. Only 2 men can be mentioned in the same sentence as Rodman when it comes to rebounding....Russell and Wilt. Thompson isn't even a Jayson Williams level rebounder yet


Rodman has a career rebounding average of 23.4% TRB with a career high of 29.7% TRB...Thompson has a career 17.1% TRB with 18.4% TRB being his career high


There not even CLOSE when it comes to discussing rebounds

this is all semantics and validates my point

You obviously never saw him play much then

Pippen was one of the best defenders ever and the year Jordan retired averaged almost a triple double

Everything I stayed that you deleted is fact

Just because you didn't answer it doesn't mean it didn't exist

Here is the real answer but I know you nikkas don't like math nor know what you are watching

The 90s had way more possessions per game than the era Wade played/plays meaning Pippens raw statistics are inflated.

Going by percentage of possessions and Wade DUSTS Pippen in terms of scoring and assisting while being collecting just as many rebounds, steals and blocks despite being shorter. And he did this as a first option for the vast majority of his career and has a ring to show for it.

Now continue with the weird nostalgia kick.

The 2x MVP who has no defense?



Anyways:

27/6/5 on 51% FG & 55% 3pt in 2002 as #2 option >

32/6/7 on 43% FG & 36% 3pt in 2009 as the #1 option >
