How different could his career panned out to be? if Prime MJ played with a Dominant Center (Shaq, Kareem, Ewing, Olajuwon, etc, instead of Pippen.

For his career he averaged 30.1 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 5.3 apg, 2.3 spg, 49.7% FG

Would he/could he still averaged over 30 ppg, had he played with a Superstar Center? how different would his career stats be? maybe 28 ppg, 8 rpg and 8 apg ???

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

The question is what if The Great Scott Pippen had gone to the Rockets in 1987, to become a teammate with a 1984 draftee who instead of a 1-9 playoff record and 0/3 .500 seasons had actually led his team to the finals and had 3/3 .500 seasons prior to 1987. Taking into consideration that Hakeem wouldn't take sabbaticals even though he was perfectly healthy, we're talking about 8 rings.

If MJ and Hakeem played together they would win 10+ championships easily
