I wasnt even gonna bring mj into it. Thats definitely why he won chips but we've seen pip make an all star team and look really good without mj. We've never seen without phil though. As you said the triangle was perfect for maximizing pips offensive game and deficiencies.

Be interesting to see if any of these bron srains can answer.

Pippen tried forming a big 3 with Charles Barkley and an (old) Hakeem. Hakeem was washed but look up Barkley's playoff stats. 24/14 on elite efficiency. Pippen? 18/12/6 looks nice til you see he did it on poor efficiency and even had a worse DRTG than Sir Charles. 32% from the field to Barkley's 52%. Pippen was in the negative while Barkley was big time in the positive. And then Pippen had the balls to say Chuck wasn't a winner. :oldlol: Chuck never got to play with Michael Jordan. If he did they would've reigned hell on the league.

It might have something to do with him being well past his prime at 34 with a multiple of injuries, but what do I know? OP is a moronic troll, but I wouldn't be surprised if he actually believes Pippen wouldn't have been an all star on the Sonics if the Pippen/Kemp deal went down in 94.

Also no all-star game in 1999, which would've been his best chance. Had there been an all-star game that year no-doubt first team all-defense NBA Legend Pippen should have gotten in on reputation alone.

If the Bulls were still together in 2000 I'm pretty sure he would have been an all star. As I've said before, besides his back spasming sometimes, he was actually better physically in 99 and 2000 than he was in 98. He couldn't even get any lift coming off the surgery in 98. In that 2000 season with the Blazers he basically coasted for a good half of the season. On the Bulls he wouldn't have been able to do that and would have been more aggressive throughout the season like he was in the 2000 playoffs.

Yeah the triangle definitely played a part. His playoff assists maxed out at ~6 (5 during the second 3-peat with 3 turnovers :oldlol:) Still wondering why he is lauded as John Stockton or something. Pippen was a "good" playmaker and nothing more.

Except it wasn't. The triangle offense is a slow down, half court offense. Pippen was at his best offensively in the open court where he is one of the best all time. The perfect offense to maximize his game would have been an up tempo offense, obviously.

What? Thats dumb dude. The bulls ran when they could lol. It was a different day though. Defenders could actually pick you up full court and physically ride your ass. The triangle was a great on and off ball moving system. Lots of screens and cuts. Pip was a mediocre iso scorer. He needed that to get good looks.

Didn't have the opportunity. Technically you can say I'm wrong, tho Pip was past his prime in 99.

Thought he was better in 2000 personally. Fell of a bit defensively however shot the ball better in the playoffs. Pip's 2PT and 3PT percentages were all better by a significant margin.

It is like Stockton. They spent their entire primes with the same coach. Stockton didn't even start for 3/4 years before Sloan. The OP is based on the amusing premise that Pippen would have never been an all-star if Collins had remained.

Yeah. He was a borderline all-star in 2000 but didn't make it. He was better in the PO than the RS, he appeared to be pacing himself. He had a ton of mileage after 6 finals, 8 ECF, 2 Olympics at that point and was gearing up for another deep run in 00'.

Portland was a deep team but a team without a superstar. That meant no one put up big stats. People who watched those teams know how valuable he was in Portland--just look at how their offense struggled without him and their W-L record when he was out and after he left. Basically, whenever he played they had a top 5 winning percentage in the league. When he didn't, and when he left, they were .500. Their problem was all the top teams were in the same conference.

For sure.

Pip didn’t average the all-star numbers or whatever, but his impact was definitely there. Still made an All Defensive Team and had a Net Plus in both ORAPM and DRAPM.

During the playoffs, Pip was third in overall RAPM. Not exactly the biggest sample in the world, tho I think it tells you more than basic raw numbers do. Most impact stats have more nuance than xx/yy/zz

Not a popular opinion, but to me, Portland was every bit as good as 02 SAC. Who Laker fans always say was their toughest foe. Both took Kobe and Shaq to the brink, but Pip’s squad had them on the ropes @ Staples. If that were Pippen in 98 or if Sheed and Jermaine had another year under their belt, they take em. Heck, if they had Phil that probably would’ve been enough :lol

:lol FYI that is "Coach"/SamuraiSwish. He must have 20 accounts now. He has created a couple since LeBron broke his heart a few weeks ago.

It also would backfire, as usual, on their other agendas. As to substance, MJ took 2 years off in the middle of his prime. Did this matter? Look at all his contemporaries at 34/35. Only one other, Malone, had not broken down by that point. That certainly suggests he benefited from the break--since only one other contemporary didn't start to break down by that point.

When is the last time guys they hype like KJ, Price, Penny, Kemp, Porter, Majerle, Nance, Daughtery, etc. made an all-star team?

Most importantly, if KAJ was an all-NBA 1st team player at 38 and LeBron in is 17th year, why wasn't MJ in his 14th and 15th seasons? Isn't this how it works? If another player did it, why couldn't everyone? These are also apples to apples comparison. Pippen is top 25 all-time, not a GOAT candidate.

The best part of this Pippen stuff is they never apply the same "standards" to any other 90's star. They particularly won't do so for the one other comparable HOF "sidekick" of the same era: John Stockton. If they had consistency you could at least respect that but they have no core beliefs whatsoever.

MJ played 3 years of college in addition to his years in the NBA, and was still an athlete playing baseball the two years he was out. In the other thread you brought up LeBron going to the NBA straight out of high school, but now the argument is conveniently omitted.

Not to mention, you mislead others with the whole "LeBron in year 17!!!" compared to MJ in years 14 and 15, but conveniently leave out that MJ was age 39-40 then compared to LeBron's 35.

Keep it up though. Guys like myself and others (the MJ "stains" as you would put it) will just continue to expose your faulty logic and agenda driven essay posts. I'm not here to convince the muppet Bran stans who post 1 liners and memes that you love to have has your cheerleaders anyhow. It's the more level headed posters that can see right through your verbose "analyses" that matter.

^^^ lies

Pippen was nothing without the perfect setup - 7 years of grooming and a 3-peat strategy/system = 55 wins just like Lowry or Marc Gasol, aka everyone... Plus the 2nd round embarrassment.. then he was a .500 bum the next year when the 3-peat luster was gone and the playoffs had exposed him

That was peak pippen.. 21 on 40% in the 2nd Round and destroyed by Ewing.. Kukoc had higher BPM in those playoffs, while grant/kukoc/bj had higher WS/48... Pippen simply wasn't a 1st option.... he was.... "a pippen"

So again, pippen never "succeeded", aka averaged 27 and 29 in the Finals like Kyrie, AD, and Wade or otherwise "carried" or "dominated".. his peak was 21 in the Finals and 19 on 42% overall.. he had 16 on 40% in 2 Finals, 5 ECF, and the 7 game war in the 92' ECSF.. 17 on 41% for the entire 96-98' Playoffs..

Only Jordan kept this guy on the map.. the 99' rockets had pippen at 3rd option (more stacked than bulls) but lost in 1st round

"Crap"....nothing about Pippen's playmaking, nothing about Pippen's defense. The Bulls magically won with just MJ doing everything. This is revisionist thinking. No one thought this about Chicago during the 90s.

Why would I mention pippen's passing when he averaged 5 APG and MJ averaged more, while assisting 33% more often

So MJ did everything for the bulls..

And defense means nothing because if AD scored like Pippen, the Lakers get destroyed - so his superior defense to pippen means nothing

True...an entire half of the game means nothing...god you're a ****ing moron. You realize Jordan is already considered the GOAT, right? The way you try and tear down Pippen and the rest of Jordan's teammates make me think you are a bit desperate. :lol

Did I say that Jordan wasn't the better playmaker? Furthermore, you're disingenuous about Pippen's assist numbers (as if playmaking boils down to only assists).

Pippen's averages between 1990-98:

RS: 20/7/6
Playoffs: 19/8/5.5
Finals: 19/8/6

He was closer to 6 assists between 1990-98 and that's including 1993, 1996, and 1998 where he dealt with significant ankle and back injuries. Get a clue man. Pippen is an all-time great. It's as if you think recognizing Pippen's contributions would somehow take away from MJ's greatness.

Only in 3ball's world is being a consistent 20/8/6 player considered to be "trash", all while playing elite defense. If Pippen is trash, then what does that make the rest of the league's players all-time outside of the NBA's elite?

He thinks reggie miller and kyrie irving are better players than pip. That's absolutely insane.

You can make an argument for Kyrie over some of Pippen's performances, but that doesn't mean he was the better overall player by any means. Miller had some outstanding performances, but the same could be said about him.

All the arguments he throws against him are mostly just based on scoring alone. He also used to call pip a role player. That's why everyone thinks he's a clown.

The other thing is that Pippen is credited with always playing elite defense. The reality is that this wasn't always the case and in some cases he didn't play well defensively against his assignment. Everything 3ball says isn't always incorrect, but it is blown way out of proportion. It boils to if you think Kyrie's dominant offensive performances outweigh whatever Pippen did offensively and defensively combined, with Kyrie's lack of defensive contribution.

Sure but what he does with his copypasta crap gets constantly annoying whenever he has to spam it in several threads. He also admitted that he hasn't even watched basketball for years so the way he praises kyrie is laughable. His beliefs are also dubious. He doesn't give enough credit to phil jackson for his contributions to the bulls dynasty, preferring doug collins over him instead as head coach of mj.
