Nash is without question better offensively -- far better shooter, far better passer/playmaker, more able to create his own offense than Pippen (believe it or not). He's also a clutch mofo, which Pippen wasn't. What matters here is whether you think Pippen's defensive impact and rebounding is enough to offset all that Nash has in his favor. I'm not sure. I guess it'd depend on who else you have.

As a Patriotic Canadian...huge Steve Nash fan, who feels his amazing shooting is underrated...and that he's one of best passers in NBA history: it's Pippen, and it's not even close.

Steve is arguably a better (though less versatile) offensive player. On defensive it's like comparing Jarod Collin's offense to Wilt Chamberlin: Nash is a liability, Pippen a top 3 all time defensive player. To be an all time great player, you must be a complete player. It's an absurd question.

For Nash to excel he needs to be in specific system, with a very specific type of players around him (Great shooters that can spread the floor, strong defensive wing players to compensate for him). He is fantastic in this setting, but even then it involves a coach having to hide his defensive weakness.

You could put prime Pippen on any team in the league, as it is currently constituted, and it would get better. Significantly. Pippen adds in more areas, and takes nothing off the table. He's not an ideal first option (though neither is Nash), but he is likely the best 2nd option of all time.

A Jordan groupie trying to downplay Pippen, pathetic.

Nash is not "arguably" a better offensive player than Pippen -- he's flat out a better offensive player than Pippen. Better shooter, better passer/playmaker, better clutch player, better big game player offensively.
