Everyone below was a better scorer that commanded doubles, with better scoring performances in the big series (in chronological order):



Magic/Kareem/Worthy

Moses/Dr. J

Bird/McHale

Isiah/Dumars

Shaq/Kobe

Duncan/Robinson or Duncan/Parker/Manu

Kobe/Pau

Lebron/Wade/Bosh

KD/Curry



And every sidekick from a one-off champion was an equal or better scorer than Pippen except Horry..

Pippen's weak scoring wasn't just PPG, it was worst-ever efficiency (https://i.ibb.co/qBBHvB1/chrome-d-EXe-R4x-E8t.jpg), so he was completely wetting the bed - 16 on 50% isn't so bad but 16 on 39% is.

Kenny Smith says it best when he said Jordan is the only guy that never played with a teammate that got double-teamed - he carried that load for an entire career.. He's the only guy that went an entire career as the only guy getting doubled on the team.. (video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=4UF6Xx3F2Lo&t=01m54s))
