    Default Which current player is most similar to Scottie Pippen?

    I was too young to follow basketball during the Jordan era, but I'm watching some of the Pippen highlights now . . . he seems like he could possibly have been the best all-around player ever.
    So which current player is most like him? I'm thinking Gerald Wallace maybe?

    Gerald Wallace could be one for the defensive and rebounding aspect. You could also include Lamar Odom in this discussion. Maybe we can combine those guy's.

    Agreed.. LeBron is bigger and more dominant, but Pippen was a big playmaker from the 3 and could score too. He was less physical on offense than LeBron but still thats the best comparison I could think of.

    Yup. That tends to help.

    There's no surprise how a player with no off-season work ethic can gains muscles like he has now compared to his rookie season.

    Huh? They are both point forwards who initiate the offense and guard multiple positions and score from the wings and also get to the basket. Johnson has been thrust into a role he isn't best suited for but in my opinion he's the closest to Pippen in style there is currently.

    Good choice, but Iguodala cannot shoot at all. Pippen was streaky though.

    This could be the best comparison.

    Back in 05-06 Josh Howard was basically Pippen.

    Joe Johnson is also hardly a defensive player or rebounder. And he certainly isn't going crap on anybody with any big boy dunks like Pippen used to do
