Sadly, Larry's career was cut short by his bum back and it robbed us Bulls fans from watching the Bulls kick Larry's ass in the 90's, albeit an old Larry.

So they both have their advantages... Bird his size and shooting... Pippen his quickness and overall defense.
I wasn't using the "athletic" arguement there, but that advantage does belong to Pippen, yes. But Bird has other advantages to beat Pippen.

Lol what am I denying? You posted the video. He did a great job comming off screens and curls. But not one shot was made by him breaking a man down in a 1 on 1 setting. Not one shot.

Yes, Larry was not an ISO player, he had a jumpshot that was hard to stop because he shot it from behind his head but he hardly ever beat anyone to the rim on ISO.
These YouTube videos are decieving because I could make a video to make it look like Larry could take anybody off the dribble by using the few times he beat someone to the hole but that wasn't his game, I watched him from the mid 80's on.He used screens, pumped faked, shot on the move or cut to the hole, he was really good off the ball and an excellent passer, but that doesn't translate on a 1v1.

The gif on photobucket says 1988.. the clip says 1991... and two completely different plays and players at each point in time.
I was just referring to the video clip you sent.

Re: PickUp Game: Larry Bird VS Scottie Pippen
do some guys here really insinuate that Pippen might be a better offensive player, even 1on1? The only advantage he has over Bird is athletic ability. 1on1 is way more reliant on skill than it is on athleticism.
You guys act like Bird was slow and unathletic. This is not the case. He had very quick feet, hands and great instincts. Pippen wouldn't get by him easily. Bird however wouldn't even need to get by Pippen because he could shoot over him or post him up.
I doubt anyone picking Pippen here has ever played against a skilled player 1on1.
