16 series of 16 ppg and 42% or less - no one could be a "star" today doing this

[3ba11]

Social media and today's climate would clown this player and this player wouldn't be called a star today.

And no one that averaged these numbers was a star in the 90's either, except Pippen because the 6 chips inflate him despite him contributing poorly to most of them (see thread title)

with today's media, Pippen's stats wouldn't fly under the radar and he'd be considered a defensive role player - a player with spotty scoring that plays good defense is a defensive role player

1-9

He was a "star" because the Bulls got every national TV game. In today's NBA, he'd be a fringe all-star like a Draymond Green.

[MadDog]

Had the audacity to say he was the REAL Bulls leader. :oldlol: Then goes to twitter and claims LeBron won without help. Apart from trying to sell his book, Pippen's agenda is obvious.

A "REAL" leader quits on his team in the middle of a Playoff game? Pippen is a ****ing loser and is still jealous of MJ after all these years, even though Jordan's the only reason he's able to sell his dumb ****ing book.

New dup, same old agenda rofl

Pippen's gotta be some type of narcissist. :oldlol: Constantly needing credit, and has an inflated sense of worth. Nobody around back then EVER thought of dude as a 1b, but here he is drinking his own koolaid. Pippen's self-awareness must be dirt low cuz comparing himself to MJ does him no favors.

Ben Simmons wont even shoot and hes a star.

Not after he just played like Pippen - now they're trying to revoke his starship

If he played like Pippen, the Sixers would be in the ECF right now.

So true.

People call some players GOAT on this forum and they are on their first run in the playoffs, EVER.

Waterdown 2020 era. When they are forced to play some D on the playoffs the game improves, a little.

[3ba11]

If he played like Pippen, the be in the ECF right now.



Simmons..... 16/8/8... 56%... 19.8 PER... 0.156 WS/58... 3.7 BPM
Pippen'........ 16/6/5... 47%... 18.6 PER... 0.146 WS/48... 4.1 BPM


Simmons is actually a much better passer and rebounder, with equal scoring.. the only difference is that he didn't have MJ to emulate and light that fire under him




If he played like Pippen, the be in the ECF right now.


Not 96 Pippen, who averaged 15 on 33% in the ECSF

Not 88' Pippen, who averaged 9 ppg in the ECSF

Not 92' Pippen, who was destroyed by X-man in the ECSF and nearly caused historic upset loss with 16 on 40%

Not 93' Pippen, who averaged 15 on 33% in the 1st round

This is what they'd be saying about Pippen:

Simmons averaged 10ppg vs the Hawks. Insert Pippen 16 ppg and they win. Along with the defense rebounds and passing.

I better not ever hear anybody say George is better than Pippen.

George is averaging like 26/10/6 in these Playoffs..

Pippen would be averaging better if he played today.
