Build a Scottie Pippen led team that could win a title today.

[D-FENS]

Rules:
- Scottie Pippen will be 1993-94, 1994-95, or 1995-96 Pippen. Your choice. All have their pros and cons.
- You may pick players from the 1991 season to present. You need to tell us the season that you are picking for the player
- Bench players must be bench players in the season you pick them. No picking guys like prime Shareef Abdur-Rahim for the bench or prime LaPhonso Ellis.
- You can only pick 1 other all-star EXAMPLE: This is not year specific. If you pick 1997 BJ Armstrong, he is your other all-star because he made an all-star team in 1994. Pick carefully!
- There can be no more than 3 players to make an All NBA team
- The team you create will be playing in the 2014-15 season

Let's see your teams, and discuss if they can beat the top teams in today's NBA. I wanted to see more prime Scottie as a team leader to see if he could get over the hump.

If you put prime Pippen on the 2000 Blazers they win (and your OP is about peak Pippen, not just prime Pippen). If the 94' Bulls have a legitimate starting SG they win. If the Pippen to Kemp trade to Seattle goes through, as MJ advised Karl at the time (95'), Seattle wins. Pippen on the 15' Bulls wins. These are some examples of real teams that would win with him as the best player.

As to team leader (from Charley Rosen):

Scottie, not MJ, was Bulls' on-court leader

After Seattle tabbed Pippen as the fifth overall selection of the 1987 NBA draft, Krause engineered a trade that brought Pippen to Chicago for Olden Polynice, plus a future second-round pick and the option to swap future first-round picks. Then Krause wasted little time in declaring that he, not McKinney, had actually discovered Pippen.

In any case, Pippen's rookie season happened to coincide with Phil Jackson's initial campaign as an assistant to Doug Collins and Scottie and PJ hit it off from the get-go. It was Jackson who taught Pippen a pull-up and shoot move. Jackson also saw in Pippen a more athletic version of himself, so he tutored the rookie in the theory and practice of defense.

When Jackson took over from Collins in 1989, the triangle offense was installed and history was in the offing. Jackson felt so comfortable with Pippen's understanding and instincts on the defensive end that he frequently deferred to Scottie's judgment. Oftentimes when Jackson would question why an otherwise intelligent player zigged in a particular defensive sequence instead of executing the required zag, the player would simply say, "Scottie told me to do it." And the coach was satisfied.

In fact, all of the Bulls were somewhat afraid of Michael Jordan (who would ferociously bark at them whenever they made the slightest mistake in positioning or timing). For solace and advice, the players instead turned to Scottie. Throughout the dynasty, it was Pippen who was the team's on-court leader.

Pippen as your best offensive player isnt beating the Spurs, Clippers or Okc or even Memphis for that matter.

I dont care what that crackhead above me says.

Invalid list. both Wallaces are all-stars. You can only pick 1 other all-star besides Pippen.

Sheed wasn't an all-star in 04 though.

That team won without Pippen. that defeats the purpose of the question. That's like MJ leading the 89 Pistons to a championship.

Beverley/Canaan
Harden/Daniels
Pippen/Aminu
Bosh/Jones
Asik/Dorsey

Bosh is not an all-star in the West. And I'm pretty sure Morey could pull something like this off with all his cap moves. Hell, he almost did.

Wrong. Bosh and Harden are both or have been all-stars in the past. Pick one or the other. See updated OP
