If the 16/6/5 Pippen had no rings, he'd be Jimmy Butler, actually worse based on stat

[3ball]

But similar to Pau Gasol, Pippen's name was elevated by being associated with championships

And I know lebron fam will say MJ wasn't shit without Pippen, but we're talking #1 options here - MJ needed a baseline level of help to win like all #1 options

How many top 5 MVP votes has Jimmy Butler gotten? And how many teams has he led to 55 wins?

Thanks

How much 3-peat system and teamwork developed over many years did he have?

Thanks

it's a testament to the bulls' teamwork and system that they could win with just 22 ppg from Pottie - 22 ppg is nothing for Butler and his stats destroy poppin's in 94'

MJ literally had 4 all stars on his team (Pippen, Grant, Cartwright and Armstrong) for his first 3 rings and 3ball tries to act like he had no help.

And he played with an All Defensive player for 8 years

LeBron did for...ONE year

IF...

My interpretation is, Michael Jordan had a Jimmy Butler level player and won 6 rings... Pippen was lucky on that Championship Bull's boat?

Is this thread a compliment to Jordan?

[1987_Lakers]

1998 Bulls...

SRS without Scottie: 4.77 (35 games)
SRS after Scottie returned: 9.08

difference = 4.31

And we all know how well the Bulls looked without MJ in '94.

Pip/Grant/Armstrong/Cartwright = 11 all-star games

Shaq/Jamison/Mo/Zydrunas = 20 all-star games

Wade/Bosh/Allen = 34 all-star games

Kyrie/Love/Korver/Deron/Mo/Rose/Wade = 33 all-star games

Slayed again?

16/6/5?


Sounds like...

I dunno, Clarkson?

Rodney Hood?


Basically the same player, no?

[72-10]

to suggest that Pippen's defense was only as impactful as that of Butler is insulting, but to suggest that Pippen's raw offensive game always had game-changing impact would be wrong as well.

That's Pippen's best year. There's not a lot else like it from the Bull run.
