What is Scottie Pippen's family tree?

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Lebrons from the Penny Hardaway tree.

Pippen, outside of playing with Jordan wasn’t that popular or influential

As if this thread couldn't get more ridiculous.

This is just lazy. You can say this EXACT same thing about cac Bird. A tree is built from entire styles of play. Think Jordan/Kobe and to a lesser extent Shaq/Dwight. That's why I used those examples in the OP you can clearly see the DNA in their games. I wouldn't say Jamal Crawford is/was from Jordan's tree even though he was a shot creating scorer.


A blanket statement like the one I quoted is trash you can't just say Pippen fathered all two way wings breh

There are a few i can think of but i really need you clones to stop with the Paul George and Jimmy Butler shyt. The unique thing about Pippen was a 6-7 6-8 mofo with superb end-to-end speed that can lead the break and play point-guard. PG and Butler doesnt check any of these boxes.

• Grant Hill for sure.
• Early T-Mac when he was more of a playmaker
• Clippers and Miami Heat version of Lamar Odom, maybe

LEBRON IS FROM THE PIPPEN TREE IF WE KEEPIN IT REAL

Hmmm Yes and No.

From the same tree in the way they are versatile and both can do it all. But Lebron's game is more power and speed where Pippen was more finess and speed. They just both fill up the stat sheet the same way. You can bet on them dropping 20, 6 and 6 every night

Paul George

No way.

You all saying this only because they are the same body-type. Their games are totally different. PG doesnt handle the ball on the break or barely in the halfcourt. That's the absolute first requirement for Pippen-esque game for me. I'd say Jamal Mashburn before i'd ever say Paul George and outside of the ball handling Mash and Pip had nothing in common

Kawhi?

Kinda but again i go back to Kawhi's ball handling and play-making not being anywhere near.

First question you gotta ask yourself when comparing a player to Pippen is could you see this guy playing PG of Point-forward having to be your primary ball handler if your PG was out 20 games. If your answer is NO then NO, he's not like Pippen. THAT what was unique about Pippen

Breh STOP!

Paul George

A lot of you clones didnt see Pippen play

Paul George, Andre iguodala, Jimmy butler. I would add kawhi for the defensive versatility but I don't think he is as good as a distributor and can run the offense as well but he is rapidly improving in that aspect.

Lamar Odom was a Scottie hybrid also. The thing is Scottie could score when needed and as the lead player showing from 93-95 when Mike was gone. But he sacrificed his game and handled other aspects to free Jordan up to do his thing.

Only person you mentioned that belonged are Odom and (somewhat) Kawhi.
Please stop the Jimmy Butler shyt. He's never had handles.
Please stop the Iguodala shyt. He has no handles and has no court vision to distribute the ball

I swear some of you cats think players are similar because they KINDA look alike (body type)

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Iguodala actually is a high level distributor. He runs the 2nd unit's offense. He aint on Scottie's level but he has extremely good vision.

PG13 is not a Pip disciple.
TMac was just ok defensively

Kawhi is very close but not the playmaker Pip was.

Butler is kind of a stretch, he can playmake but he's not a credible all game primary ballhandler.

This just shows how unique Pip was.
A dude that could guard 1-4s, be the team's main ballhandler/distributor, run the fast break(so many steals and fastbreak 3 pointers) and score 20.

Odom in his prime was very close...just taller and not as good of a scorer/shooter

Bron....kinda...in a weird way. Prime distributor from SF spot but a go to scorer bc he was so dominant physically and athletically that he could become a go to 25+point scorer

That Dirk family tree helped shape the modern NBA

You trippin, igoudala has better handles than pippen ever had & they are the exact same players.Not great shooters,both solid playmakers with all around games and good defense.Not great scorers either both could take it to the rack and bang it on whoever

show me some footage of pippen doing this, I guarantee you won't

Being able to cross over some clown on the break doesnt make you a great ball-handler in the sense that i'm talking. If you look at my other post you'll see what im talking about. Basically, could you see yourself as a coach having Iguodala play point-guard for extended periods of a game or even 20 games while your PG is out with an injury. If the answer to that is NO then NO he's no pippen Clone. That's what made Pippen stand out. If you're going by the stuff you underlined above then we can list about 100+ players in the league right now that would be pippen-like based on your analysis.

Pip>Iggy

Wow you have one crossover as proof. I saw the whole Bulls dynasty growin up in Chicagoland and Pip broke plenty ankles too.

Pippen was a better defender, could guard more positions, WAS THE MAIN GUY RUNNING THE OFFENSE, better scorer, won 50+ games as 1st option when Mike retired with Pete fukking Myers as starting SG...better shooter. Pip was the Bulls point guard....Paxson and BJ were just shooters, they never initiated or ran the offense. Pip did that shyt all game. Iggy doesnt and cant

Iggy as #1 guy in Philly was like .500. He didnt start winning until he went West and at that point he was 4th option/super sub status.

Iggy was the better athlete...thats it

Casuals....

But this exactly what igoudala did last year when curry sprained his ankle and was out with the knee injury he started in the playoffs playing the de facto pg, he's always been a secondary playmaker.

There's nothing pippen can do andre igoudala can't, pippen gets the same mythological boost people say jordan gets with the nonsense people say.90% of this site wasn't even old enough to watch pippen in the 90's

 

[Wacky D]

pippen birthed the point forward.

the most notables are LeBron & grant hill.
greek freak & ben simmons prolly never watched him but people love to worship Jordan, even tho they never watched him play, so if we're being consistent with that mindstate, then all point forwards file under pippen.

then theres other guys pippen influenced in other ways like Robert horry.

EDIT: igoudala is another one, but lol @ people in here trying to say hes better than pippen.
