Best sidekick of all time?

[GoranDragon]

My pick will be between 2012 Dwyane Wade and 2000 Kobe Bryant and 1992 Scottie Pippen.

Who's the greatest sidekick in NBA history?

[navy]

Scottie Pippen no doubt.

[GoranDragon]

Scottie Pippen no doubt.
Good choice. Pippen is a beast. Best defender of all time.

[riseagainst]

lebron.

[HOoopCityJones]

Lebron James

[GoranDragon]

lebron.
2 FMVPs out of 2 rings, when was Lebron a sidekick??:facepalm

[The JKidd Kid]

Pippen then Kobe. 2012 Wade was nowhere close to those guys.

[MrC1991]

Scottie Pippen easily. Huge part of a dynasty and 6 chips.

[GoranDragon]

Scottie Pippen easily. Huge part of a dynasty and 6 chips.
I will go as far as to say MJ would not have 6 rings if it weren't for Pippen. No Pippen, 4-5 rings at best.

should have stayed in RealBeta Forums OP. Youre not yet ready in here

[MrC1991]

What about Kareem? I'd say he became the sidekick to Magic when he got older.

[GoranDragon]

Yup Kareem lost a step but was able to win rings via Magic.

Btw everybody please ignore knicksman, he's stalking me and hijacking all my threads.:banghead:

[Trollsmasher]

Pippen, Kobe and Durant

knicksman please kindly get out of my threads. not just this one.:mad: :facepalm

[Budadiiii]

2011.
This.

I still think Prime Pippen was better than 2011 LeBron though. Pippen wasn't a choker.

So the answer is Kobe Bryant.

[HOoopCityJones]

Duncan has also morphed into a formidable wingman to Parker.

[GoranDragon]

Westbrook has the potential to be one of the greatest sidekick all of time if they win a championship.

so youre saying durant gonnna win at least 7 chips.

damn lebron stans are too easy:lol

[ArbitraryWater]

Single season? Probably Kobe 2001.

Overall for their careers is Pippen IMO.

[thefatmiral]

stockton

[NumberSix]

2000 wasn't even that good of a sidekick year for Kobe. 2001 was MUCH better.

[Ancient Legend]

Michael Jordan 1982.

Yeah, he made a clutch shot in the championship, but James Worthy was a beast and better that year, and was named MVP of the final.

:D

[GoranDragon]

2000 wasn't even that good of a sidekick year for Kobe. 2001 was MUCH better.
Kobe Bryant has so many AMAZING sidekick seasons to choose from.:applause: :bowdown:

[SavageMode]

Kobe hands down. ISH consensus.

[GoranDragon]

Kobe hands down. ISH consensus.
No shame in being one of the greatest sidekick of all time. :applause: :rockon: :cheers:

Notice how op ignored this :lol The obvious answer is no to all,seems like all lebron Stans are no life losers.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Kobe 2010 HANDS DOWN.:biggums: :biggums:

[sodapop]

Bill Russell's side kick, Sam Jones. Ten championships with the Celtics.

Can't blame him, pretty much all your threads are garbage.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Well, Kobe and Wade were alphas for at least like half of their career. So this gets a little tricky.

Single Season Sidekick:

2001 Kobe
2002 Kobe
2012 Wade
2000 Kobe
2010 Gasol
2009 Gasol
'92 Pippen
'91 Pippen
'93 Pippen
'96 Pippen
2013 Wade
'97 Pippen
'98 Pippen

Career Sidekick:

1) Pippen
2) Gasol

Were the supreme definition of Beta, supplemental players.

First three are best, then take your pick.

[Cold soul]

Scottie Pippen.

[Mr. Jabbar]

2-peat lebron

[97 bulls]

First three are best, then take your pick.
Got it. My next question is in what way is Gasol over Pippen?

Also, in another thread (the one about ranking players in tiers), you put Kevin Mchale in your second and Scottie Pippen in your third, was this an oversight?

[SamuraiSWISH]

Got it. My next question is in what way is Gasol over Pippen?
Where did I rank Gasol over Pippen? I have a clear ranking of Pippen over Gasol. As for the individual sidekick season runs ... The first three were ranked in order. The rest was pick 'em.


Also, in another thread (the one about ranking players in tiers), you put Kevin Mchale in your second and Scottie Pippen in your third, was this an oversight?
Quote me, and show me. Because I know I've never, nor would I consider McHale to be better than Scottie.

What's with your blatant insecurity about Pippen, or specially where I rank him? Once again find the post and quote it please.

[9erempiree]

If Kobe is the greatest sidekick of all time then he's the greatest player ever.

How many sidekicks you know are top 5 greatest player of all time?

If he's a sidekick like his detractors say he is, imagine if he wasn't one, he would be winning rings. Oh wait, he has won rings. Now imagine if he was full time leader? GOAT.

My bad. You did summarize that Gasol was number two to Pip at the end.

It's not an insecurity. Im more trying to see some consistency. And passing on my opinion

I constantly see you in the same type of threads. Often responding to a post I directed to someone else. Does that make you insecure?

[Eric Cartman]

So many great answers.

My picks would be Pippen and then Kobe.

[ivienthol]

Have to go with Pippen. He embraced the role of sidekick so much he begged MJ to come back and lead the team after MJ's first retirement. And that's after having a break out year individually in 93/94. MJ's retirement speech says it all when some of the first words out of his mouth was 'You didn't just see me, you saw Scottie Pippen. For each championship we won'. Pippen chose MJ to induct him in the HOF and spent the first couple minutes thanking him. That's true big brother little brother. It ain't even comparable to Kobe and Shaq. Both thought they were the leader.

Bran is the only sidekick to have won finals MVP... and he got it twice :facepalm Refs were the MVPs :facepalm

Devin Stern :facepalm

Pippen and Kobe in the running for GOAT sidekick. Quite a close race.:bowdown: :bowdown:

Hondo has a case.

[bdreason]

Probably Kobe or Pippen.

[Lebron23]

John Havlicek.

1x NBA Finals MVP as the Alpha Male
7x Championships as the sidekick.

[GoranDragon]

It seems ISH consensus greatest sidekick of all time is Kobe Bryant. Congratulations.:cheers:

[Leftimage]

Pippen, Wade, Kobe

Wade's championship rate as a sidekick is pretty nice at just under 50% right now. Also gets extra points for versatility (young sidekick to a big man, then veteran sidekick to a wing player)

:bowdown: :bowdown:

[GoranDragon]

Close race between Pippen and Kobe for greatest sidekick, but I give the edge to Kobe.

[coin24]

Have to go with bran..
Quit on his team to be wades robin.

Lebron: 2 FMVPs out of 2 rings - 100% alpha & 0% beta

Kobe: 2 FMVPs out of 5 rings - 40% alpha & 60% beta


Kobe had been a sidekick for 3 out of his 5 rings.:oldlol:

I use math and numbers which don't lie. While Kobetards are spewing nonsense.:lol

True beta is the one and only Kobe Bryant who rode Shaq to his first 3 rings and had PRIME Gasol for his last 2. He shouldn't even have 2 FMVP, 1 of them belongs to Gasol.
