Some of those matchups, Pippen was coming off the bench.

Yep. I can't see how anyone refuses to acknowledge this fact.

Bird in a tight contest for me. He was just so versatile.

Here in 1991, Pippen isn't even guarding Larry Bird...6'10" athletic Horace Grant is....
And Bird proceeds to EAT THAT LUNCH.....

Did I pick Pippen ?
I'm saying we can't use the numbers... I would probably still go with Bird, but those number aren't 1 on 1... They never faced each other all the time 1 on 1 either...

They faced each other in one on one situations on the court many times, and Bird put the screws to Pippen. This "Pippen long athletic" crap belongs in the garbage when your talking Larry Bird.

He could score with either hand, making him one of the most unpredictable scorers ever too.
On top of that he also has extremely great footwork. He wasn't fast, but always a very quick player, had great endurance, dexterity, body-control and hand-eye-coordination.
So yes, he could absolutely not score against Pippen consistently.
Pippen on the other hand, has the following offensive qualities that make him an extraordinary threat one-on-one:
he's athletic and fast.
Bird was so great he only won 3 rings with a stacked Celtics team and got his ass handed to him by Magic more times than he beat him.
Magic>Bird
MJ>>Bird
