Bayless- "Pippen wouldnt be a top 50 player without Jordan"

[Teanett]

Skip wouldn't be on TV if he didn't make comments like this.

that old fat drunk at my local bar says the same all the time and he ain't on tv.

[Skywalker]

If Granger had Lebron-like handles, deron williams -like first step, Artest-like defense, Wade-like finishing ability and dwight howard-like strength.. then yea, Pippen is just another Danny Granger.



Step your game up, Skyscrub.

are you scottie pippen? gtfo

[gengiskhan]

& this is a stone cold fact!!!

Pippen will still be a very good player without MJ with his versatile skills.

Pippen will not be an all time great without MJ with out being a Bull.

Pippen definitely will not be a top 50 GOATs without MJ.

Take 6 rings with 0 finals MVPs away from Pippen, Duncan & Kobe can easily replace him in Top 50 GOATs.

If the top 50 were re-done to include modern players, theres no doubt that Duncan, Kobe , AND Pippen would all be included in the top 50.

Pippen is top 30 to real hoop heads world wide.

almost doesn't count ...

almost = nothing

Reminder for the Scottie haters: He almost won a chip with the Bulls minus Jordan.. also almost won with the Trailblazers and he was like 40 yrs old.

Imagine Scottie with 8 rings? The Universal scales nearly tipped that way.

hop off his dick

like GOBB said. MJ helped pippen develop

[bagelred]

I agree. Pippen is just another Danny Granger.

Almost did what???

Reminder for the Scottie lovers: The Bulls lost in the Eastern Conference SEMI-finals. That was the series where Pippen quit on his team. The next season, the Bulls were 3 games over .500 until Jordan returned...
then went 13-4 the rest of the way.

In Portland he was 34...his first season there... a 12 ppg/5 assist guy who was the third option, and lost in the WCF by blowing a 15 pt 4th quarter lead to LA.

But I guess Zach Randolph and James Harden will be excited to know they almost won chips this year!

Pippen was a really good player; a great player when teamed with Jordan. Nobody knows for certain what might have been, but we do know this: his non-Jordan years weren't played at a Top 50 All Time level.

[bond10]

in a nutshell: Scottie is almost as good as the GOAT.

How does that not make him top 30?

Defensively. However, as others have said and the article I've shown you...playing against Jordan during scrimmages made him a great defender. Also, beating the Knicks in a ECSF =/= championship. Still have to play ECF and the finals.

Not only that. How is making it to the Eastern Conference Semi Finals almost winning a chip?

With that logic, Rose's Bulls "Almost" won a championship this year. Or better yet, the Lakers "almost" had a 3-peat if it wasn't for the Mavs.

Pip was a great player, no doubt. But he has never, EVER had an Alpha Male, Take over a Game type personality. He strongly believes in the Team concept, which is great for the regular season and a couple Playoff Rounds, but not exactly enough to get over the hump to a championship, as was proven.

Edit: I see JMT had already made my first point.
