Mo's spacing took LeDrive from 45 to 66 wins, while Pippen said he couldn't do that

Pippen told Rachel Nichols that he can't play a shooter role and that's why he failed in Houston - he compares himself to a bad Westbrick fit:

So Lebron can't do shit with Pippen because Lebron either needs spacing (Mo), or dominant closers (Wade), or both (Kyrie).

Predictably, LeDrive's stats EXPLODED when Mo's spacing arrived - Mo taught every GM going forward that LeStiffArm needs spacing (so he can't fit with Pippen)..

Pippen also requires the 1st option to carry the scoring load, which Lebron can't do because excessive ball-dominance can't beat top teams (never beat a top 5 SRS team with weak scoring & efficiency from sidekick).. i.e. Lebron lost to #3 SRS Magic with 18 on 38% from Mo, while MJ always won with that from Pippen (and worse team defensive ranking than the 09' Cavs)
