Pippen played a damn good game but u talk about it like he went on a one man tear...in the time Jordan/Grant are on the bench, King scores 6 points, Pippen 4 points......Jordan enters and scores 12 points, Pippen 7.....Jordan outscores Pippen 12-11 in fourth quarter[/QUOTE]
Lol I dont believe youre trivializing what Pippen did in that fourth quarter. Factor in Pippens defense on Drexler. He tied the game twice, and the go ahead basket. Youve hit a new low. So now, Pippen has to score a certain amount of pts within a few minutes?
Bottom line. Pippen scored 11 pts in that fourth quarter, shut down Drexler, and ran their offense to perfection.

Totally overlooked his comment. He said "ONE CAN ARGUE IT". A case can be made that Pippen was the most important when you factor in his contribution to the team. Now that doesnt make him better than Jordan, but his responsibility and workload was no less.

That's just a politically correct way of saying "I think Pippen was basically as good as Jordan".

No I didn't overlook anything. Even saying its an argument is one of the dumbest claims posters make around here. It's one thing if there was another player similar to Jordan on the team I.e. you can say Bosh is more important then Wade even though he's not better, but that's not the case.. If you had to go back in time and had to give up one or the other, theres no coach, GM, owner, player or analyst that doesn't have some personal favoritism toward Pippen that would even think about taking Pippen over Jordan.

Absolutely. But you arent winning with either having to carry a huge workload. Id like to ask you. What were their roles on the team? In yoir opinion

I dont know about that. considering the situation. There wasnt gonna be enough time tk catch the ball and iso. Id have more faith in Kukocs jumpshot over either Pippens or Wades.

Who said they didn't need Pippen to carry a significant workload to win? That doesn't mean there was an argument between who was more important. The fact that we are even having discussions about this makes him overrated.
They both did pretty much everything with Pippen taking a bit more of a role in facilitating and arguably defense (specifically in the 2nd three-peat) and Jordan taking a much larger role scoring especially at the end of games. And Pippen taking a larger role in certain aspects doesn't necessarily mean he was actually better at those aspects, but more because Jordan taking more of a role in everything would not have been an efficient strategy when there were other alternatives so he could focus more on aspects there weren't alternatives for such as scoring cause he was by far their best option.
They both took different leadership approaches, Jordan being aggressive and Pippen being passive. And when the team was in a slump, needed a big game in a playoff series, or just needed to send a message or intimidate an opponent with his play, they looked to Jordan.
Re: Scottie Pippen: Underrated/Overrated?
[QUOTE=Calabis]Nah very similar, Scottie better defender, Cylde better scorer[/QUOTE]
To be honest, it's not even really that close. Drexler is the better scorer. Pippen wouldn't have put up those scoring numbers, tho he'd have averaged more than he did. But he would have had more assists and his assists don't do justice to his playmaking and his passing. The guy was a PG.

Dude you need to watch the damn game, Drexler was off the entire game, they just imploded as a team in the 4th and when Jordan re entered, guess who guarded Drexler?...and reference trivializing what Pippen did....according to you [B]he dominated[/B], when the fact he didn't, he was damn good, but so was Jordan who came through down the stretch.

Re: Scottie Pippen: Underrated/Overrated?
One CANNOT argue that Pippen was the most important player during their 6 title runs over Jordan.
It's not arguable, whatsoever. Come on... He was the second most important player, no doubt, but you stretch him to the overrated line by saying he was the most important player.
