was Pippen's impact greater than Jordan's?

55 wins vs 1-9 says all.

Yes. MJ would be a poor man's Derozan in today's era.

It's settled. Mods, you can close the thread now.

Pippen's presence required Jordan to lead the team in scoring for every playoff series of his career by an average margin of 15.4 ppg.

Lebron isn't capable of that - infact, NO all-time great led their team in scoring for every series of their careers, let alone by an average margin of 15 ppg like Jordan.

In addition to requiring Jordan to have the goat scoring load, Pippen's presence also required Jordan to lead the team in passing - Jordan led the Bulls in assist percentage for both 3-peats (shown above), so he assisted on the highest proportion of teammate FG's during the 6-peat..

Lebron isn't capable of leading a team in scoring by an average margin of 15 ppg, let alone leading the team in passing AS WELL - he's nowhere near this goat capability.. Btw, in addition to Jordan's goat scoring load and team-leading passing, he was also the best defender EVER at his position - that's the goat performance and biggest load ever carried.

if you're talking about the pressure that op put on his mother's cervix while being cultivated at the time that jordan and pippen played then you're absolutely right.

Jordan's presence required Pippen to guard the opposing team's best player the majority of the time.
