Evidence #1 - Horry was far superior early in their careers (2nd best player on a champion):



ROOKIE HORRY.............. starter
ROOJKIE PIPPEN............ bench-warmer

2nd YEAR HORRY........... 2nd-best player on title team & historic clutch performer
2ND YEAR PIPPEN.......... bum

3RD YEAR HORRY........... played better in 95' Finals than Pippen ever played
3RD YEAR PIPPEN.......... historic "migraine" choke cost MJ title



Evidence #2 - Horry had higher peak capability:



FINALS


95' Horry...... 19.0 gamescore... 18/10/4/3/2 on 57 TS

92' Pippen.... 18.1 gamescore.... 21/8/7/2/1 on 56 TS
91' Pippen.... 17.5 gamescore.... 21/9/7/2/1 on 53 TS
93' Pippen.... 15.6 gamescore.... 20/9/8/2/1 on 46 TS
97' Pippen.... 15.1 gamescore.... 20/8/3/2/2 on 54 TS
96' Pippen.... 13.4 gamescore.... 16/7/5/2/1 on 43 TS
98' Pippen.... 13.0 gamescore.... 16/8/5/2/1 on 50 TS



Evidence #3 - Everyone went off on Pippen, so Horry would join the many forwards that regularly outplayed Pippen:

Evidence #4 - Horry agrees with me that he would destroy Pippen:

Evidence #5 - Horry was historic clutch performer and floor-spacer, while Pippen was historic bricklayer, lane-clogger, and choker with the worst clutch stats in history



* Horry hit 100 big shots to win 7 rings and provided Hakeem with great spacing
* Pippen hit 0 big shots to win 6 rings and clogged the lanes for MJ





TLDR: MJ would've won titles EARLIER and EASIER with horry than pippen.. MJ didn't need Pippen's passing just like Kobe didn't need it and paxson can easily be replaced by any PG like sam vincent let alone someone like derek harper

Was Derek Fisher the 2nd best player on title teams, or play better in a Finals than Pippen did in any of his 6, or turn into MJ to win the critical game in the 05' Finals?

both pippen and horry are mostly transition players, so they don't provide true scoring support where they alter gameplans... although horry requires closing out on, so he's at least on the scouting report, while pippen allows opposing coaches the rare luxury of sagging off and packing the paint similar to ben simmons

Yep, Horry's better than Pippen, LeBron's not top 10, Kawhi is top 5 all time, the Bulls won 55 games without Jordan but still sucked, OP isn't a fakkit, these are all well known facts that are set in reality and backed by comprehensive evidence.

Notice how 94' Horry is right there with 93' Pippen (and of course far superior spacing and clutch):





It's statistical fact that Jordan 3-peated with less help than 94' Hakeem or 11' Dirk:



PLAYOFFS

94' Hakeem...... 27.7 PER.... 8.5 BPM... 2.6 VORP... 0.208 WS/48... 28.9 ppg
94' Horry.......... 16.7 PER.... 5.0 BPM... 1.4 VORP... 0.152 WS/48... 11.7 ppg
GAP.................... 11.0............3.5............ 1.2............ 0.056.......... 17.2

93' Jordan........ 30.1 PER... 11.6 BPM... 2.9 VORP... 0.270 WS/48... 35.1 ppg
93' Pippen........ 16.9 PER..... 2.0 BPM... 0.8 VORP... 0.083 WS/48... 20.1 ppg
GAP..................... 13.2........... 9.6............ 2.1........... 0.187.......... 15.0

11' Dirk............ 25.2 PER... 5.5 BPM... 1.6 VORP... 0.210 WS/48... 27.7 ppg
11' Terry........... 20.3 PER... 4.6 BPM... 1.1 VORP... 0.179 WS/48... 17.5 ppg
GAP..................... 4.9............1.1............. 0.5............ 0.031.......... 10.2

Horry clearly started out as the better player but Pippen had MJ and therefore developed more, however Horry still maintained higher peak capability as we saw in 95' Finals (better than Pippen ever played) or the 05' Finals (literally MJ-level to win the critical game and save Duncan's career)

Pippen was an 8 ppg bum at 24 years old until MJ elevated him into a Larry Nance or Iggy-level player

1. Pippen scored 16.5 PPG and was an allstar at 24. 19.3 PPG in the playoffs. "8 ppg bum" tho!

2. Robery Horry "saved" Duncan's career by scoring 15 points in game 7? Nice to know you consider 15 points peak MJ level. The same Duncan who already had two FMVPs?

I truly believe if Horry came up under MJ's competitive tutelage he would've been better than pippen.

He was a 7x time champion because he played with peak Hakeem, Shaq/Kobe & Duncan :lol It's not even a knock on him, I'm just providing the proper context. And yes, he hit two buckets that literally swung the championship in '02 & '05, in addition to numerous others he hit in his career. If I had to choose a non all-star PF for my team, he'd be at the top of my list of consideration.

But this is where you post such a preposterous argument, it's akin to arguing with Charlie Kelly when he makes some absurd claim, just not even worth the time to debate; that a role player who peaked at 12 ppg would have been as good as a 7x All-NBA player/top 10 player of the decade/member of the 50th anniversary team.

If Jordan could turn any role player into a HOFer, why did he stop with just Pippen? Why wasn't the Bulls roster filled with All-NBA players if Jordan was capable of turning water into wine with anybody who played with him?

Accolades mean little to me.

Russell Westbrook was an MVP and he would've made every team robert Horry played for worse.

Big shot Bob always turned up when it mattered most and never stepped on toes, only positively affecting chemistry and killing it in crunchtime.

There have not been 10 dumber things said on the internet on any subject in any language this year.

“Performance” isnt the 14 seconds worth of shots you remember from 15 years. If he were performing better he wouldnt have been playing 25 minutes a game off the bench behind people you at times wouldn’t even know by a headshot. At the age we don’t mind shitting on Scottie’s half a season injured shooting numbers(and ignoring things like title winning defensive plays) Horry was actually allowed to start in the playoffs and put up 6/7 on 32% shooting and 5(yes five) percent shooting from 3.

Pippen has know nothing trolls pretending his off shooting games where the other team openly admits he destroyed them are bad basketball. If he played to the Horry standard hed be utterly clowned.

Horry peaked at an unremarkable Scottie performance. Scottie’s bad is standard Horry without playmaking, worse perimeter defense, but adding a three a night.

Healthy prime 28 year old Scottie is not coming off the bench behind

This entire topic is a Word for Word copy paste because he has nothing left to say. He has run out. But chooses to continue. Doesn’t have to think of new content. Doesn’t even really reply. His reply is a copy of replies years ago.

When you have literally nothing to say but won’t stop saying the same thing you really should be banned. Just making another topic full of nothing for people to come repeat themselves in.

The only thing he lacked was ambition. His skill and size and athletic ability were all elite. And he was cold as ice with the game on the line while Pippen was trash in that regard.

Pippen is the best #2 of his era and clearly showed he was a good enough #1 to be lead a team to a decent playoff run and good regular season.

Horry proved he was the best #4 of his era who could provide #2 value in a series HERE OR THERE over the many playoff series he was involved in.

That's a massive difference. If you're argument is Horry could outplay Pippen in a series, OK. If that's the gauge of "who's better" than basically anyone is better than anyone, besides a select few in the history of the game.

You can't give someone ambition it's not a skill you practice in the gym lol. He was cold as ice being the 3rd to 7th option on teams with superstar leaders. Meanwhile Pippen was one of the superstar leaders Horry would've been receiving open 3s in the clutch from lol. And i loved Big Shot Bob when he played here, when he was a rookie we used to call him a Will Smith stunt double. But let's be real man.

As an Eagles fan it seems like a nick foles vs McNabb or Vick argument. I remember as a kid McNabb choking and losing with top seeded favorites and being an MVP candidate. Vick too. Nick foles accolade wise is a bum by comparison but he outplayed prime Tom Brady H2H and won the eagles their only franchise championship. I'm taking foles over McNabb or Vick on that alone.

Higher than 6 of Pippens and also higher than 5 of Kobes. “How does that happen?” seems a less pressing question than “What does it matter?”.

He had a great series. One I pointed out here long long ago asking about the potential for him to have taken a different path and become something like Kwahi(this was when he was still on the spurs…maybe 2015). But alternate realities mean absolutely nothing in the real world.

Pippen was actually great. Horry could potentially have been something instead of a role player. But he wasn’t.

It was also the 95 finals, not 94. Against the Knicks in 94 he scored 10 a game on 32%.

When I was reading the OP I was legitimately thinking this could apply to Kobe too, from being a bench warmer his first 2 years to almost all his Finals gamescores being worse too :lol

Coming off the bench as a teenager isn't what I'd call a bench warmer. He was good right away. 18 year olds weren't expected to start at that time. Wasn't until the deluge of underclassmen that followed the first few a teenager was expected to start

Maybe game scores don't matter that much since its based on this arbitrary formula:


Game Score; the formula is PTS + 0.4 * FG - 0.7 * FGA - 0.4*(FTA - FT) + 0.7 * ORB + 0.3 * DRB + STL + 0.7 * AST + 0.7 * BLK - 0.4 * PF - TOV.


Basketball is not analyzed like this.


Having watched Kobe's entire career, nearly all of his finals performances pretty much >>>> Robert Horry 1995 finals.

I'm not sure how that correlates but I still wouldn't take Horry even once out 100 picks over Scottie. You're comparing a luxury vehicle to a 4 banger here man.

I have about 5 mins to waste before I walk down the street for my morning coffee and Quiejada. It was also higher than Drexler in 92, 96 Kemp and Payton and Mailman in 97 and 98. The implication of course being that Horry, one of the great role players but nonetheless a role player, performed better than Jordan's superstar finals opponents in 4/6 finals is a great case to leave the 'Horry GmSc' argument firmly locked in the can.

Edit: it was also higher than 96 Finals MJ, just for shits and giggles.

For his career Horry averaged 7ppg with a 52% TS. Pippen averaged over twice as many points on better efficiency and was a better defender.

Evidence #1 - Horry was far superior early in their careers (2nd best player on a champion):



ROOKIE HORRY.............. starter
ROOJKIE PIPPEN............ bench-warmer

2nd YEAR HORRY........... 2nd-best player on title team & historic clutch performer
2ND YEAR PIPPEN.......... bum

3RD YEAR HORRY........... played better in 95' Finals than Pippen ever played
3RD YEAR PIPPEN.......... historic "migraine" choke cost MJ title



Evidence #2 - Horry had higher peak capability:



FINALS


95' Horry...... 19.0 gamescore... 18/10/4/3/2 on 57 TS

92' Pippen.... 18.1 gamescore.... 21/8/7/2/1 on 56 TS
91' Pippen.... 17.5 gamescore.... 21/9/7/2/1 on 53 TS
93' Pippen.... 15.6 gamescore.... 20/9/8/2/1 on 46 TS
97' Pippen.... 15.1 gamescore.... 20/8/3/2/2 on 54 TS
96' Pippen.... 13.4 gamescore.... 16/7/5/2/1 on 43 TS
98' Pippen.... 13.0 gamescore.... 16/8/5/2/1 on 50 TS



Evidence #3 - Everyone went off on Pippen, so Horry would join the many forwards that regularly outplayed Pippen:



http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?513893-Pippen-s-defense-was-overrated-he-couldn-t-contain-opposing-SF-s&p=14827646&viewfull=1#post14827646



Evidence #4 - Horry agrees with me that he would destroy Pippen:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZpVlMVYr-A&t=24s



Evidence #5 - Horry was historic clutch performer and floor-spacer, while Pippen was historic bricklayer, lane-clogger, and choker with the worst clutch stats in history



* Horry hit 100 big shots to win 7 rings and provided Hakeem with great spacing
* Pippen hit 0 big shots to win 6 rings and clogged the lanes for MJ





TLDR: MJ would've won titles EARLIER and EASIER with horry than pippen.. MJ didn't need Pippen's passing just like Kobe didn't need it and paxson can easily be replaced by any PG like sam vincent let alone someone like derek harper

Idc for any of your forged arguments, but how can a migraine by Pippen cost Jordan a title when Pippen was a useless bum anyway? It's either or. Was Jordan dependent on Pippen's output or not?

This. There's actually an effective synergy between him and jordan during the 90s dynasty.
