Little known fact: Scottie Pippen SWEPT Michael Jordan in every NBA match up they had

[GrayGoat]

Scottie Pippen not only won 6 rings and was undefeated in the finals. He didn't have any FMVPS, but he did sweep (1-0) his match ups against a guy who had 6.

Pippen and Jordan only played against each other 1 game where the Blazers defeated the Wizards 98 to 79.

Pippen played close to his normal amount of minutes and put out an an above average game in pts/reb/ast/stl on an impressively efficient 85/NA/100.
Jordan on the other hand played only 28mins compared to his average 37 that season (interestingly MJ played all 82 games his final year too) which factored into his totals being lower than season average. However MJ did also shoot a nice 60/NA/100 for the game.
People seem to like remembering Jordan's Bulls years, but not his wizard years since those Bulls years defined him. But that doesn't mean we should forget that Pippen is a pretty great player (who would be great in any era) and is officially undefeated against MJ. But then again, I don't even know if Pippen remembers he beat MJ.

P.S. MJ's red did stomp Scottie's white team 187-150 in an unofficial charity game after his 1st retirement in 94.

So we have a 1 game sample size where they got similar stats.

Way past MJs prime.

This is a fantastic and very interesting thread....did you come up with this one, laying awake in bed as MJ prevents you from sleeping?
That's what usually happens

Ps. No level of mental gymnastics is gonna put Bron anywhere near the GOAT convo.
Sorry, little guy

Scottie was a great Team Player. Kind of like Bird but with better defense (yet not better on offense than Bird). Pippen was a glue your team kind of player and the best defensive SF ever.

Question: How dumb do you have to be to call one game a sweep?

Answer: GrayGoat dumb.

Everybody knows Pippen was a great player. Even Jordan has always praised him.

Otoh, shaq had a 7-4 h2h record over former teammate kobe. Interesting.

Yep.

The title is false and extremely deceptive.

Why is it these guys ALWAYS have to be deceptive?

They're also really not very good at it

Everyone knows that beneath the surface The Great Scott Pippen had the bigger impact on the Bulls' winning than Jordan, who unjustly got all the glory and marketability.

Wizards met Portland again later that season but Pippen was absent. MJ went off for 25 points.
