Pippen is like one of the only players on that list that's both overrated and underrated. He is Top 50, because he really could do it all and was a top notch defender. The other players they try to peg as Pippen-like can't score for ish, nor do anything as good as him. As for overrated, people sometimes act like Pippen was Oscar or something. He was well above average at everything but not exceptional at anything but defense.
He was drafted 5 overall he wouldve been a star on any team thing is he played with Jordan but that still dont take away from his ability.

How you going to compare Scottie to Hedo? we about to revoke your pass:camby:
see how you overrated scottie's offense. at their best they both put up the same number of points and assists. and they did it almost the same way as ball handling point forwards who can hit the three and post up smaller defenders.
the only difference was that scottie could finish at rim and on the break.

So we just comparing players with similar numbers? Pippen couldve scored more but he also played with :mjpls:. So you mean to tell me if you take Pippen off the Bulls and replace with Hedo they still win 72 games in one season and 6 rings?:ufdup:

The bul really said Hidayet Turkoglu tho? Thats like those that say Iggy. When was Hedo ever a viable scoring threat? He could've said Jalen or Mash, hell Detlef

Pippen is a far better player than Hedo so no I don't think they would win because as I said pippen's defense is the greatest of all time.
but offensively his game wasn't anywhere near that. Yes I compared there numbers but also their style of play. Point forward, ball handler, pass first, average 3pt shooter, Post abilities, great dunker. Hedo had all those except the last one.
You guys treating Pippen like he was a blueprint for Lebron.

Pippen wasn't a 3pt shooter at all, which is something that became a niche for Hedo. Hedo could pass but couldn't run an offense, unlike Pippen, and he couldn't break people down off the dribble...his handle wasn't that great. He was a horrid rebounder at 6'9-10". You would've been better comparing Mash or Jalen.

And Pippen was the template for Lebron; Grant Hill was the blueprint.

A better comparison wouldve been Lebron minus the scoring. You cant say Hedo and Pippens style is similiar because the game was changed to accomodate euro style of play.

Lebron is not as good on defense as Pippen. people always seem to try to advertise him as a lock down defender. He steps up in clutch moments but generally coasts through much of the game. There are the occasional highlights pass interceptions and chase down blocks but one on one he is often afraid to foul or take a charge. Battier Defense is greater than LeBron.
There is no way pippen could go multiple games without fouling and consider that a good thing. Fouls can be good in certain situations.
