Scottie Pippen averaged 21 ppg, 9 rpg, and 7.4 apg in the 91 to 93 NBA Finals

[Lebron23]

That's is like the averaged of some of the first scoring options in NBA History. Pippen from 91 to 93 put up better stats than 2000 to 2004 Kobe Bryant, 2002 and 2003 Jason Kidd in the NBA Finals.

I'd like to know Pippen vs the 2nd options of other NBA finals opponents.

91-93' Finals

Jordan 36/7/8
Pippen 21/9/7


^^^ so Jordan averaged 75% more points, while also getting more assists with less turnovers and higher efficiency... and a goat gap in clutch

PIPPEN PLAYOFF PERFORMANCE



* 88-90' Playoffs - 12 ppg vs Pistons

* 92' Playoffs - demolished by X-Man, which nearly caused massive upset

* 93' Playoffs



- Westbrick efficiency & turnovers yielded lower gamescore than Dan Majerle

- demolished by Dominique and Kevin Willis in 1st Round

- lowest advanced stats of any winning sidekick (PER, BPM, VORP, WS/48)


94' Playoffs - demolished by Ewing with goat chokes

95' Playoffs - 19 on 40% against Orlando

96-98' Playoffs - 17 on 41%

99-03' Playoffs - 11 ppg



^^^ so Pippen was bad every year of his playoff career except 91', which is also the only year that he was above league average true shooting in the playoffs, except for 89', 90' and 02' (low volume years).

[SATAN]

Best second option of all time.

[Full Court]

Wow, interesting OP. It's almost like Scottie was an all star or something.

[Round Mound]

A Top 10 Player Of The 90's.

Made more All NBA first teams than Dwyane Wade.

21 ppg in system points is the lowest peak capability of any sidekick, aka no game-planning needed (https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-27-2022/qrDm8n.gif), which forced MJ to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals).

Pippen's low peak also yielded the lowest FLOOR, including 15 on worst-ever westbrick efficiency and turnovers in the 96' and 98' Finals - so only Jordan defeated top 5 SRS opponents with poor scoring and efficiency from a sidekick (carry-jobs against good teams)

Overall, only Pippen failed to reach peak Horry-level over a meaningful sample size... (0/6 in reaching Horry"s gamescore from the 95' Finals)

Best 2nd option in the 90’s

Best 2nd option in the 90’s


Pippen is literally the only notable sidekick that couldn't achieve elite stats in a series or dominate - only Pippen failed to average elite ppg, rpg or apg in any series.. Meanwhile, Stockton is a goat playmaker, while Penny, KJ, Porter, Payton (or Kemp) could score at elite levels and takeover series. ONLY PIPPEN wasn't a 1b that dominated and led the team.

Hard to achieve elite stats when one of your teammates is trying to take all the shots.
