Larry Bird goes by Pippen at 1:40

[97 bulls]

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.

Are you watching the vids bwink is posting? They're litered with birds comming off screens and picks. There's a reason the celts offense was designed this way. Cuz bird wasn't an iso player.

Larry Bird sticks jumper on Pippen at 5:50

I think with what you said, with jump ball, Pippen would likely win. Even in 1s and 2s the person who can get the most lay ups and the occasional stop is the one who wins 1v1. If the game was based on each player shooting jumpers from the top of the 3 point line and the first person to miss had to be on D first then Larry would have more of a chance. Who is throwing this jump ball? lol.

I've never seen a jump ball in street ball.

97 bulls is the biggest bulls/pippen homer on this site, don't take him too seriously on these kinds of debates.

BTW I hate these types of threads, never been a 1 v 1 guy, basketball is a team sport & Bird is superior to Pippen as a player.

He didn't go by pippen. It looks like paxson was on him. The camera comes in on the play too late.

It did show pippen beat bird for an easy lay-up at the 20 second mark, and then he was about to drive on him before help defense came over.

[dude77]

I'm not sure bird could beat gerald green in a game of 1 on 1.

the question is .. after reading this little gem, I don't understand why anyone is arguing with this kid ?

when you're that diluted, you can't be reasoned with
