Pippen
That's the only guy on the list
Every other notable sidekick was a go-to player that dominated and was a 1b except Pippen.. Pippen was just a system player that couldn't create his own shot or average more than 14 outside the dynasty chemistry that he grew up in (triangle).
And every above-average sidekick outscores opposing sidekicks the majority of the time, but only Pippen did it with Westbrick efficiency, worst-ever clutch stats and low peak capability (no game-planning required and barely outscored opposing sidekicks, aka never dominated anyone)

Seems pretty arbitrary. Pippen only destroyed all other 2nd options. What more could you ask for?

Pippen literally never "destroyed" anyone because he wasn't good enough to dominate or achieve elite production.
His peak was 15-22 ppg, so he never outscored anyone by much and was outscored by the opposing 2nd option in the majority of series in his career (more than half).

Pippen is the only notable sidekick in history that wasn't good enough to dominate - every other sidekick could dominate including Kyrie, Curry, Dumars, AD, Worthy, McHale, Wade, Kareem, Dr. J, Kobe, Middleton and Tony Parker (fmvp).
These sidekicks were capable of either winning FMVP (Dumars, Iggy, Parker)... carrying their team to the Finals (20' AD.. 92' Porter.. 97' Stockton)... destroying MVP's or FMVP's (AD, Kyrie, Wade)... or leading their team in scoring (everyone).
Only Pippen wasn't capable of these superior levels - he was just a system player that couldn't score outside the triangle and dynasty chemistry that he grew up in..

Since MJ is the only guy that lacked a dominant, go-to teammate, he's the only guy that had to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load) in every series and playoff run
