We saw Mikes 1-9 without Pippen, but what about Pip without Mike?

[And1AllDay]

Number of seasons where Mike made it out of 1st round w/o Scottie = 0


Number of seasons where Scottie made it out of 1st round w/o Mike = 2 (1994, 2000)

[3ball]

MJ's 1st round exits came at the start of his career when most players don't even make the playoffs (durant, curry, lebron, kyrie, giannis, etc)

That's why no one talks about 1-9 on tv... It's not a real thing and it's actually better than missing the playoffs like most of his peers do at the start of their careers..

and obviously, 9 seeds and worse that missed the Playoffs wouldn't be expected to beat 1 seeds, so 1st round losses by 8 seeds are better than the would-be losses of 9 seeds

Why did Pippen get out of the 1st round twice without Mikey but Mikey was 1-9 and never got out of the 1st round without Pippen

[SomeBlackDude]

boiled down- scottie pippen's greatest accomplishment as an alpha without mj was leading the bulls to a 1st round win.

kyrie has already matched that.

don't even get me started on legoat's other teammates.



shut it down.

Why did Pippen get out of the 1st round twice without Mikey but Mikey was 1-9 and never got out of the 1st round without Pippen

Select the most likely reason for MJ making 2nd round in 1988 versus missing it in prior years:


[[COLOR="White"]w[/COLOR]] Pippen's 10 ppg in Rd 1 and 7 ppg for the season

[X] Jordan's 43 ppg in Round 1, overall efficiency improvement in 88' versus prior years, and improvement into the league's best defender/dpoy


Now why did lebron's 9th seed miss the playoffs in 05', but make it as 2 seed in 07' with worse personal stats and cast? (no all-star teammate in 07')

Obviously, something happened after 05' that allowed lebron to make the playoffs starting in 06' - oh I know - they added a 1st team all defender and new coach - this was the minimal help lebron needed to make the playoffs, just like MJ needed a minimal help to make the 2nd rd

I know you're a troll and in a wheelchair. But don't you get tired of pretending to be stupid by asking stupid questions? It's the whole day.

Never mind.

[SpaceJam2]

Hold up MJ never made it out of the 1st round without Scottie Pippen? Not even one time?

This is kind of foolish man. You could probably do this with anyone.

Number of seasons where Kobe made it out of first round w/o fisher?

Number of seasons fisher made it out of first round without Kobe?

This doesn't mean anything for either player

Poor wheels can't even make a thread these days without looking stupid for making it in the first place.

Mike's a billionaire
Pippens a millionaire

Both of whom have been retired for almost 2 decades

Let it go
