prime scottie pippen. I'm talking like 92-96 was top 5 NBA player at the time I'm thinking. especially in 94, where dude was just RIDICULOUS at every facet of the game.

Paul Pierce>Scottie Pippen fukk outta here

Dont you have a fat chocolate chip spotted ass hooker to pay? Beat it moron. Pip is the prototype for these so called point forward today like Giannis, Lebron, and Greek Freak. Great athletic two player way who could pass and score efficiently. And like others said, he lead the bulls in 94 when it was nothing but the corpse of Bill Cartwright and a bunch of Euro cacs like Longley and Kukoc. Don't ever disrespect the gawd pippen again

He probably isn't beating out Lebron, Durant, Kawhi, George, Green, or Aldridge last year to make the All-NBA teams. Depending on his situation, he might make the bench at the All-Star game.

People keep forgetting that the 1990s were the expansion era and severely diluted the talent level.

Pippen wouldn't even be a top 10 player

KD
Westbrook
Kawaii
Paul George
Lebron
Anthony Davis
James Harden
Demarcus Cousins
Stephen Curry
Klay Thompson

Pippen is better than Harden, Cousins, AD, Klay and PG13.

The rest are a no, but WTF has a guy like Demarcus Cousins done to say he's better than a 6 time NBA champion who was an all around talent and played the best permiter defense in NBA history? Shoot 44% from the field and average 4 turnovers for a lottery team?

Harden plays absolutely no defense. He's nowhere near the overall player Scottie was.

Klay is great but not Scottie great.

AD needs to have a healthy season and take his team on a deep playoff run before we talk about him being better than Scottie.

PG13 needs to show me more before I can say that, and I'm a Pacers fan.

Only dudes that for sure are better than him are Bron, KD, Curry. Kawhi depends on the day and we still haven't seen his prime yet imo, same with AD. And prime Pip might well been able to stop/severely hinder all of them with his defense (except AD). The big thing would be how his defense translates in this softer era, he might foul out at half-time with these rules :dead:

:mjlol: Durant and Curry are miles better as well. At his very peak he might be 5th.

you either 10 years old or white.

fukk outta here with this bullshyt.

that lightskin punk would be Dell Curry status in the 90s. he's a product of a weak era and bullshyt rules.

Pippen is better at every facet of basketball except shooting than Curry.
