The years wade spent playing Bron's lieutenant, a period where the popular narrative is that he went from the 3rd best player in the league to a washed up role player, were basically as good or better than any year pippen ever played...Wade's best years eclipse pip's best...this really shouldn't even be a debate IMO, taking nothing away from scottie and coming from someone with close to 0 affinity for wade...mostly a testament to how far wade's perceived standing was reduced playing with lebron

This thread shows how underrated Wade is.

People stay comparing him to side kicks and second options as if they
never saw Wade play before Lebron came to Miami

How threads are out there Comparing Kobe to Luel Deng?

Pippen's overall impact on both ends >>>> Wade
You act like Wade is a one way player.
He is the alltime leader in Blocked Shots at his size and was always the best defender on his team up until the last few years.
Offensively Wade is better than pippen by great margin
Defensively Pippen is better than Wade by a decent margin.
people forget Wade is also undersized and never had any issues
on D.

Given the chance to pick a franchise player, you'd take Wade with his elite offensive ability. The fact that we notice Wade's decline on the defensive side of the ball should tell you that he used to be one of the better man-man defenders and an exceptional weak side defender.

The combination of his offense, with very good overall defense really makes this a no brainer. Its unfortunate that this might come off as shytting on Pippen, when its anything but that. Wade is just easily the better overall player throughout their careers.

if I'm starting a team wade, if I wanted a great second option pippen.


are we talking about :flabbynsick: wade and pippen or prime?

Scottie Pippen could have easily been a 22/8/7 on a contending team in fact he was in 93-94...He was a second option only because the GOAT was a teammate,he was No 1 anywhere else but Chicago...

that stat line is his career best. in the middle of his prime. he barely broke the 20 barrier a few times
so i wouldn't say he would easily put of those numbers.
i would more honestly say that he could reliably put up 20/7/5 on given night.

people forget pippen only upped his FGA's by 1 after jordan left.
1 more shot per game brehs.
Meaning the numbers pippen put up as a sidekick are the same numbers he woulda put up
as a leader.

I thnk thats a stretch given it was just a single season....I think over a 5 year span as #1 he would have been able to average 22-24 PPG...
My point is he gets disrespected like he was a 2 when he was just lucky/unlucky to play with MJ for 10 years...
