If Hakeem can win with him so can Jordan.
Vernon Maxwell averaged 5 assists and Sam Cassell would've been the best playmaker that MJ ever had, while Kenny Smith averaged 4 and was superior to Paxson in every way.
So the Rockets' cast provided better playmaking, spacing and rebounding (Thorpe > Horace).
The Rockets' cast was superior at every position except SF where Horry provided better spacing and clutch - Pippen is 0/6 in reaching peak Horry-level in the Finals (0/6 in reaching Horry's gamescore from the 95' Finals)..
The Bulls would've been better with an elite playmaker like Tim Hardaway, KJ or Cassell instead of Pippen and a shooter like Horry at SF... But Jordan still made it work by achieving goat stats and carrying the scoring load at unprecedented levels

MJ didn’t win without Pippen. This is a fact
Pippen was a worse sidekick than everyone else won with
aka Magic had Kareem... Lebron had AD/Wade... Kobe had Shaq, etc
So everyone else had more help but won less than MJ
And among the notable 90's sidekicks, Pippen had the worst passing, efficiency (https://i.ibb.co/qBBHvB1/chrome-d-EXe-R4x-E8t.jpg), clutch, spacing and peak capability/dominance (not on scouting report (https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-27-2022/qrDm8n.gif)).
Ultimately, Jordan's time without Pippen coincided with the first few years of his career when everyone loses, aka Durant, Giannis, Lebron and Curry were lottery in their first few years.

Only in the mind of a Bronie fluffer is not jumping to another team considered a negative.

Weird conclusion, but remember Jackson needed Jordan to score less to get bulls to win. The more he scored the worse the team's efficiency
