So, if Jordan played w/Pippens unconscious body occupying the bench....

[funnystuff]

He's the GOAT, but he needed Pippen and the media to become that. End of story.

And the Bulls won the title, would people on here still say "1-9"? Because apparently all Pippen needs to do is be on the roster to discredit Jordan

Pippen rookie year: averages 20 mpg, doesn't start once. Doesn't even make the all-rookie team. Bulls win 50 games and a playoff series, losing to the mighty Pistons. Jordan averages 45 ppg on 64 ts% against the Cavs, kills them in the deciding game.

Pippen second year: not even a top 20-30 player. They make the ECF, winning 47.

Pippen third year: borderline all star, but not an all-NBA player. They win 55, and make it to the ECF, once more losing to the eventual champion.

.....1-9 doe

People would not say that in that imaginary scenario.

Just like people would not call a cat a cat if it barks and have appearance like a dog.

[97 bulls]

The only reason people use the 1-9 argument is because Jordan fans try to perpetuate this myth that he won championships by himself or with minimal.help.

The respense is that if he was that good, why was he so unsuccessful ewrly in his career?
