So you think PG is a better defender and playmaker than Pippen?

Firstly, PG is so much better at scoring and being clutch that it offsets any assist edge you think Pippen has
Secondly, PG is better overall at making plays - just look at their handle
PG can break guys down off-the-dribble and toss dimes, while Pippen was a basic ball-handler that got basic assists off the triangle and MJ, the goat assist target.. Pippen was only 4-5 apg without Mike by his side to make everything easy

The ****? Are you on something or did you just literally never watch either player? Dumb.

Peak/prime Pippen is >= Paul George so far...George last year was probably better than any version of Pippen...but that was just one year so far.
Also LOL at calling Paul George clutch when he is one of the least clutch players EVER. Like he is infamously unclutch.

OP is such a fpaggot. Always trying to talk down Jordan's help in order to elevate him. Pippen was a vastly superior defender and playmaker than PG is or ever will be.
Bulls went from 57 to 55Ws when Jordan left.
Pacers went from 42 to 48Ws when replacing PG with Oladipo.

3ball constantly says he doesn't watch the NBA and hasn't since 2011.
What's hilarious is that 3ball always talks shit about Pip when it comes to talking abou tMJ as an individual...but when talking about current teams being better than the 90's teams, you hear 3ball say "Pippen/Rodman would shut down Lebron/KD/Curry to under 20ppg"...
3ball is simply one giant MJ stan, agenda driven, 42 year old loser.

3Ball why do you have Kareem ranked out of the top 5 in your ATG list?

Pippen is better defensively...but most people here didn't even watch pip play. His offensive game had a lot of flaws. PG is far superior with the ball and in the clutch.

There's no way he's better than Wilt, who needed 8-Hof teams to beat him..
And goat bigs need goat wings to win - Kareem needed Oscar/Magic, while Shaq needed Kobe/Wade, but goat wings just needed Pau and Pippen... :confusedshrug:...
Ultimately, bigs need someone to feed them, so they control the game and flow less than goat perimeter players like MJ/Bird/Kobe/Magic
And Kareem needed the most help ever to win - 9 guys were all-stars alongside him (25 appearances), compared to 1 guy for MJ (6 appearances).. and only MJ/Kobe won multiple rings with 1 all-star teammate, except Shaq (who had Kobe), and Hakeem (when MJ was out of the league)

If PG played with MJ and won 6 rings, his vastly superior scoring would catapult him far above Pippen
Pippen would be Jimmy Butler without MJ
Or similar to Pau before joining kobe

Dude the only thing he's vastly superior in is taking shot attempts.
Pg has 2 seasons below 15 fga per game.
Scottie's career average is 13.3 fga per game
14.5 fga per game only in Chicago.
don't be an idiot.

You sound weak now saying something so blatantly ridiculous
It's obvious to anyone that PG is a vastly superior scorer, floor-spreader and clutch player - case in point from earlier itt:
.... most people here didn't even watch pip play. His offensive game had a lot of flaws. PG is far superior with the ball and in the clutch.
But keep living in your own reality sdot, where you make up your own truth that is opposite of what people in the know say

I don't need another poster's quote to tell me Pg was the primary option on nearly all of his teams. Had he played with Mj the scoring would be lower. Doesn't take a genius bro, just honest thought. If you want to say he's a better scorer that's cool, but vastly superior? nah bro.

I know this doesn't mean he wasn't clutch before, but he had never hit a game winner before this past season.

Paul George only has one year that could be clearly over pippen, this year. Besides that it

Hes basically a much better shooting / spacing / scoring version of pippen.
you cant really harp on defense, PG is an all time great defender.
