scottie should've won over hakeem, mutombo, and david robinson?

because that's what we talking about right now
You can make the argument absolutely

Pippen had to be the bulls leading scorer, playmaker and defender. They won 55 games and went 2-7 when pippen missed time. They could have easily won 60 games. Dream Drob and mutombo are all time great. Dont forget scottie

Yeah, and its not like Pippen is slept on in any sense of the phrase. Everyone respects Pippen as a player and as one of the best defenders of all time.

No one ever forgets him or dismisses what he's done on the court. Pippen contorting things into some sort of victimhood then acting like MJ is the cause of it? It sounds goofy because it is.

this is fake news , the bulls went 4-6 without pippen that season & 3 of those losses were by a combined 4 points(two by 1 point,one by 2 points) they were beating/ going to the wire with playoff teams without pippen

that team was good period they had 2 all stars ,championship experience & depth without Jordan & pippen

edit reading this thread , I see why pippen gets so overrated. Bulk of this site wasn’t old enough to watch dude

I don't know. Scottie was a really good player.
On some level, he was underappreciated. I don't think any reasonable person can deny that Michael Jordan cast a large shadow over everyone on those Bulls teams.

But Scottie accomplished a lot and he's a 6-time champion. You'd think he would be at peace with it all after 25 years.
Like someone upthread said, he likely was at peace until The Last Dance.
Playing with Mike actually upped his prestige.Pip was a great role player.He wasn't a franchise player level guy.Had he never played sidekick to the GOAT, he's never looked at as top 75.He's Iguadala/Shawn Marion/with a dash of Boris Diaw.Maybe would've made a few All Star games, but he's the Rat who rode in on the Ox's back(MJ).That might make some of y'all angrier than Daffy Duck, but it's the truth.You replace him with Boris Diaw, and the Bulls still go 6-0 in the Finals:yeshrug:

scottie pippen hasn't playd in the nba in almost 20 years, and you'd have to go back nearly 25 years since he last played with Jordan and this nikka is still salty at MJ
They made him and his name , a damn near all time great himself synonymous with being just a sidekick that Jordan just dragged to all those chips without his or anybody else’s help. People think I’m lying when I say I’ve meet more than one woman who’s never watched bball think Michael Jordan literally never missed a shot:snoop:
