Lets settle this once and for all, How good was Scottie Pippen???

[NYC Rebel]

The father of what we see players taking charges on the regular today. Dude made it a specialty. Damn long armed freak whose game was really dictated by his defense. Wasn't a dude who could create his own shot off the dribble but could hit an open jumper if open.

But that dudes perimeter defense.....

yeah, he was the first one I ever saw take charges in the lane. He was a really smart player too.

They were a bad call away from making the ECF by replacing Jordan with Pete Myers of all people..

Let me tell you how douche Peter Myers was. BEFORE he joined the Bulls he was on the Knicks years prior. A complete scrub. When niqqas around my way wanted to call you a scrub they used call you Pete Myers. Real talk.

RIP to my man Shaba. Dude used to always crack on niqqas calling em Pete Myers in a trini accent.

we couldn't do it without Mike in Chicago

Yeah, but Mike couldn't have done it without HIM, either. Anything contrary to that point is revisionism.

How you average in the mid 20's and almost win MVP without being able to create your own shot?

His defense created his offense.

Dude was not a create his own shot off the dribble guy. Don't care how many youtube clips you show...that wasn't his game.

PIP WAS THE BETTER REBOUNDER...BETTER PASSER...
A FLOOR GENERAL...
TOP PERIMETER DEFENDER IN THE LEAGUE
PLUS GIVE YOU WORTHY'S SCORING OUTPUT...

IN WHAT WORLD IS WORTHY A BETTER PLAYER THAN PIPPEN?


​

thats because the Lakers had some good big men in Rambis, Thompson, Green, and a guy named Kareem who were all good rebounders. No one on those Lakers teams were averaging a lot of boards. Magic got his as well.

Pippen's rebound totals dropped when Rodman arrived too.

And Worthy was a much better scorer than Pippen. Thats not even a real conversation, and you know its not by saying "scoring output" as a caveat.

Pippen was def a better passer though, but Worthy would get you buckets when needed.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

How you average in the mid 20's and almost win MVP without being able to create your own shot?

He was a first step guy with an incredible stride to the basket...If he got a dribble step by you, his 2 strides took up 10 feet almost and once he got airborne it was over...

 

[Woodrow]

What do you consider "do it"? Scottie Pippen did his THANG in 1994 and in 1995 up until Jordan returned....even finishing 3rd in the MVP race in 1994.

look at the bulls record that first year jordan was MIA... they werent far off the pace of the previous season, and EVERYONE was wondering aloud if they'd even make the playoffs without mj. especially when they were losing early.

scottie pippen and gary payton are the only dudes i've ever watched where the hype was 1000% justified defensively.

top 40 for sure.

Worthy>Pippen

LAKERS WENT TO THE shytTER WHEN MAGIC RETIRED...

PIP HELD shyt DOWN WHEN MIKE LEFT...




​

Worthy was like 30 when Magic retired and had knee troubles and a bad ankle even during Magic's last few years.

When Pippen was traded to Houston, he fell off too. It happens.

thats because that Bulls team was largely unchanged.

The next year, 1994-95, the Bulls struggled mightily after Grant went to Orlando..
