The 90s didn't have dominant wing players besides Jordan

[rlsmooth775]

Clyde drexler started to decline after 1992 Reggie miller was never a superstar Grant Hill didn't do much wasn't that great even before the injuries same with Penny

[Milbuck]

What that decade lacked in dominant wing players, it compensated for with dominant big men. I don't care if Clyde Drexler wasn't in his prime...Hakeem, Shaq, Robinson, Ewing, Zo, etc. all in one decade is just absurd.

[L.Kizzle]

-Drexler was still an All-Star and All-NBA team member in the mid-late 90s.
-Scottie Pippen helped MJ to 6 titles
-Mitch Richmond made all 6 of his all-star/5 all-nba teams between 1992 and 1998
-Chris Mullin was All-NBA first team in 1992 and a Dream Team member that same years.
-Reggie Miller = Playoff Superhero
-Hill and Penny were the new dominant up and coming wing players that were supposed to take the league into the next millenium but it ended up being other young wing players doing so n Kobe (96 draft), McGrady (97 draft) and Vince Carter (98 draft.)

I wouldn't call any of those guys superstars

Patrick David and alonzo weren't to dominant in the playoffs

92' Drexler in today's league - top 3
90's Pippen in today's league - top 5
92' Mullin in today's league - top 10

Dumars, Richmond

The other guys already stated. I'd say Penny and Hill were special players for a short while.

It was a big man's league. There were plenty of good-great perimeter guys (as others have listed). The NBA didn't skew things in favor of perimeter players until the decade was over. Kobe, a dominant wing in the no touching/3 sec violation era, played in the NBA from 1996-2000. That's just under half the decade.

He was neither dominant nor efficient then.

this is a thread about the 90s

[rlsmooth775]

You have low standards for superstars

Drexler and Pippen IMO.

Please, Drexler was done being an elite player after '92. Penny had potential but it didn't work out. The next best guards after Jordan were just good All-Stars, not superstars.

Dominant no touching/3 second violation era wings who played in the 90s:

Kobe Bryant (Drafted 1996): 16/4/3 (45% FG) in the 90s
Ray Allen (Drafted 1996): 18/4/4 (44% FG) in the 90s
Allen Iverson (Drafted 1996): 25/4/6 (43% FG) in the 90s
Tracy McGrady (Drafted 1997): 11/6/3 (45% FG) in the 90s

^With the exception of Iverson, who wasn't that great anyway, those guys benefitted GREATLY by playing in a much softer era for perimeter players after being subject to the sort of defense Jordan played under the vast majority of his career.

Now compare their production in the Jordan era to the 2000s era (especially around the middle of the decade).

In the 2000's
MJ- 21.6/5.9/4.5/
Pippen- 10.2/4.8/4.4

MJ- 21.6/5.9/4.5/
Pippen- 10.2/4.8/4.4

1) Pippen was never really dominant, he spent most of his time in the 90s as a 2nd option and then a 3rd option. By the time he got to Portland, he was like the 4th or 5th option. And he was 35-38...

2) Name me another 38-40 year old perimeter player who put up that type of production (including multiple 40 and 50 point games) that MJ did.

He didn't even get a chance to play post summer of '05 rule changes, probably would've put up his 2nd 3-peat numbers under those circumstances.

As weak of an 'argument' as I've seen. I show you young-prime players, you give me grandfathers. Nice try though
