The answer is no.

Scottie would be Rudy gay status.

He ain't better than PG and Kawhi.

Pippen wasnt even Rudy Gay status in the 90s why would he be Rudy Gay status in a watered down league :dwillhuh:

how yall fix your fingers to type shyt like this :mindblown: Pippen not better than PG or Kawhi :mindblown: Kawhi with 5 30 point games in his 5 year career :mindblown:

the coli likes to fluctuate it's praise of the 90's depending on the topic.

nikkas say the 90's was so tough, talk about how much current nba players would struggle in the 90's, and talk about how weak the current nba is, yet a guy who was a 20ppg scorer in the 90's and who finished 3rd in mvp voting without jordan would somehow be worse. :dead:

Pippen wasn't guarding guys like PG, Melo, Kawhi, Lebron, KD, klay, jimmy butler, cp3, westbrook, Steph, etc.

If Scottie is guarding the best player on the squad no way he's guarding them as well as he did in the 90s.

Even if we looking at point guards.

Guys like Steph, CP3, kyrie, Westbrook, lillard, Wall are more than capable of dropping 30 on his head and we talking nikkas that actually penetrate to the basket. A league where point guards are mostly scoring first.

Just look at how penny did him, now imagine Steph or kyrie coming down the court ready to put him on skates.

With guys like Stockton and mark Jackson he didn't have to worry about that for the most part.

they're not dropping 30 consistently with their usual efficiency on pippen.

He played the same way he always played in the triangle.Did y'all actually watch the bulls back then? Pippen never was a great shot creator his offensive skills were limited

I've yet to see any footage proving me wrong either

Who was a great iso shot creator outside Jordan in that era? Pip was a solid ball handler who could attack the rim pretty good. He had a nice mid range shot and developed a good post game later in his career.(watch how he destroyed the Jazz in 98) Comparing him to Deng is ludicrous

Nikkas don't wanna believe, but it's true.

Pippen guarding guys like Reggie miller, john starks, glen rice, Jamal mashburn, etc

Nikkas like PG, Lebron Melo, etc would dismantle pippen like Kobe did him in the playoffs .

Man this forum is amazing sometimes. You really using a 15 year old league pippin with a shot back who was only playing to recoup the bread he was fukked out of by Krause matching up against a prime 22 year old Kobe as a hypothetical example of how he would do in today's NBA? I mean he's basically Kwahi with playmaking abilities and you dudes dikk ride him all day
