1999-2000 he led blazers in minutes assist steals rebounds and was an inch away from beating Kobe/Shaq in the WCF as well, that deserves an honorable mention if you count 1999

Why trolling bruh. Pip didnt lead in steals. Theres absolutely no argument for pip over mj. Mj pretty much everything pip has plus he has way more MVP's, FMVP's and scoring titles. I like pip and he was extremely important in those 6 bulls chips but mj was by far the best player in the 90's.

Pippen was the best all-around player of the 1990's. Most people would probably agree with that. Jordan was the best player, Pippen was the best all-around player.

Compare that to LeBron who is both the best player and the best all-around player.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Yes

Didn't take any vacations like Baldan

I consider Pippen to be neck and neck with Jordan all-time in the 10-15 range

MJ didn’t even play for 30% of the decade, plus he only led his championship teams in one category

1988.... MJ (1st).... Pip (none)
1989.... MJ (5th).... Pip (none)

1991.... MJ (7th).... Pip (7th)

1996.... MJ (5th).... Pip (2nd)
1997.... MJ (5th).... Pip (4th)
1998.... MJ (4th).... Pip (9th)


So MJ was the better defender and this notion was common thinking (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOgJhzj4W9M&t=35m00s)

He also averaged more assists in the playoffs alongside Pippen, and obviously more scoring.. so mj was better at scoring, assists and defense, aka everything

People forget jordan averaged 30/9/11 at point guard for 24 games in 1989... Pippen isn't capable of that assist level because he couldn't break guys down off-the-dribble compared to point guards

Heck, jordan averaged equal assists to lebron through 3 rings each (6.6 apg in 85-93' playoffs.... 7.2 for Bron from 06-16').. he also had an 8 apg season and 11 apg Finals

So MJ was a far superior passer and scorer, with better defense too

[goozeman]

Borderline top 10 player for a few years in the 90's. That's it. Not even remotely a first option type scorer. Got a lot of garbage buckets off breaks thanks to the overall defensive presence the Bulls could put on teams. Boring and predictable player in the half court that couldn't get his own shot or get to the line. And when he did get to the line, he couldn't shoot more times than not. We are talking about a guy who was so bad at shooting the ball for much of his career that he didn't raise his career free throw percentage out of the 60's until he had been in the league almost 10 years. Pippen's rookie free throw percentage was actually worse than Shaq's to give you an idea of how brick city this guy was when he came into the league. He worked on his game and got better, but he was always mediocre and robotic in the half court. If he wasn't wide open, forget it. So, nah, not the player of the 90's, lol.

Dpoy is a media voted award. I remember a gary payton interview where he thought he was a better defender in the 94-95 season but came in 9th that year and all he did different the following season was to chase the steals title which on paper is something the media looks at.

Or marc gasol winning it in 2013,yet only making the 2nd team?

Mj was obviously an elite defender but he wasn't some clearly better defender than pippen, and definitely not due to dpoy voting.

[totti950]

I think he is, I mean look at those stats!

[FultzNationRISE]

Player of the decade? Probably.


PLAYA of the decade? DEFINITELY.

Scottie and Michael used to compete on everything. Jordan used always claim his hands were bigger, but they weren’t. Scottie was very blessed down below. And that killed Michael. Johnny said, 'You should have seen the girls pippen had waiting for him everywhere we went.' Madonna used to pick him up in a limo with a hot tub every time we went to L.A. Michael used to tell Madonna he could satisfy her better, to which Madonna would tell him, 'Not a chance.'

[Rico2016]

More playoff series wins than MJ too, and MJ had three years to win some playoffs before Pippen entered the Bulls. How did that work out for MJ? :lol

[FKAri]

Is anyone else even in the running?

[Cali Syndicate]

1999-2000 he led blazers in minutes assist steals rebounds and was an inch away from beating Kobe/Shaq in the WCF as well, that deserves an honorable mention if you count 1999

An inch? They were up 13 going into the 4th. I remember watching that game and pippen was just as absent in the 4th as lebron was in game 3 the 2011finals. He took like 1 shot, a 3pointer and fed sheed on th post a few times. Someone with that much championship caliber and experience, you'd imagine pippen was seeing the walls crumble would have done something... nope.

Great player in the 90s, but player of the 90s? Naw

Blazers were a shot away from potentially winning that series, that's an inch. Maybe 34 year old Pippen was just tired from his 8th conference title playing 35-40 MPG. Pippen still made Shaq/Kobe in 2000 under achieve that series and barely squak by, similar to how 2013 heat barely beat spurs.

When did Pippen come through in clutch in the playoffs?

(Search high and low... Slim pickings... No pickings actually lol)

Pippen isn't a good playoff performer and choked every year.. didn't lift a finger in the clutch and made MJ do everything

Why did MJ have to win EVERY CLOSE PLAYOFF GAME.. who else has to do that??... :biggums:....


Everyone else has killer sidekicks in the clutch like Kyrie, Wade, McHale, Kobe, "big game" James Worthy... These guys could all average 25-30 and DID.... Only MJ had to win every tight game by himself.. Pippen ranked last in clutch-time points, behind Shandon Anderson and Hornacek

I remember he dunked on the Wizards in crunch time. And that series against the Wiz was a lot closer than a 3-0 sweep would lead you to believe.

Because they say that he's just a 'role player'

Well both Marion and Amare led Nash in 4/5 categories but I wouldn't call them even close to Nash.

Pippen :applause:

He was one of the best Robins of alltime. I fail to understand why people bash him.

Literally the second or sometimes third best player on his own team for almost his entire career but somehow the "player of the decade." :oldlol: This board is amusing at times.
