Replace Pippen's 15 ppg on 34% from 96' Finals with 2011 or 2012 Wade

[3ball]

There were a half-dozen polite articles that praised Pippen for his performance in the first few games of the 1998 Finals

Politeness.. That's all those articles are.. They can't write about MJ's goatness EVERY article.. Gotta mix it up.. So they throw Scottie a bone before he chokes the final 2 games of the series with 6 and 8 points.. You only posted a few articles out of thousands written about that series - the rest of them were about MJ.

And you're the kind of casual fan that those articles are geared towards, so you don't get bored and tune out over MJ-fatigue..

But in reality, EVERY championship has defensive specialists - Lebron had Battier.. Duncan had Kawhi.. Magic had Michael Cooper... And the Bulls had Michael Jordan - MJ was ALSO a defensive specialist and one of the greatest defenders of all time.

jordan was 1-9 without pippen

Against ESPN-verified FAR better competition: http://i.imgur.com/CIu6gDI.jpg

jordan was 1-9 without pippen

Not only did MJ play better competition, but he was 1-9 with no all-stars.

Otoh, Zydrunas Illgauskas was named an all-star in 2003 and 2005.. So Lebron missed the playoffs in 2005 despite having an All-Star on his team.. And when he won his first playoff game in 2006, he did so with the help of a 2-time All-Star.

Otoh, MJ never played with an all-star, or anything NEAR that during his early playoff career... But once he got just 1 all-star, he went 6/6.. Whereas, Lebron missed the playoffs despite having an all-star, and only went 2/4 with two all-stars in Miami.

Nah, they were saying that because Pippen was killing it and making a major impact on both ends. Someone who knows hoops would understand unlike mental midgets like yourself that posts nothing but points while ignoring every other aspect of basketball.
