Re: Pierce vs Pippen
Pierce was a terrific player and very underrated...but I can find scorers that can collectively match Pierce's scoring impact to complement Pippen's playmaking ability.
Whereas I'm sure as hell not gonna find a player with the combination of GOAT-caliber perimeter defense and elite point-forward ability that Pippen had just lying around in free agency.
If I'm building a team, I'm taking prime Pippen. Give him someone like Lillard as his #2, and that's potentially a championship duo with good coaching and a well constructed supporting cast. I would need more to get a PP-led team to that level.

Re: Pierce vs Pippen
Only thing Pierce has over Pip is scoring, and the Bulls didn't need Pip to score a lot. Scottie owns Pierce in every other meaningful stat.

Lillard would be the number 1....
Not the best player that is. But certainly the number one option.

In late game situations, definitely. Lillard would be the go-to guy in the clutch. But all in all I'd run my offense through Pippen quite often, and the difference defensively is monumental. Just technicalities here, all I'm saying is that Lillard would be the 2nd best player on the team.

Pierce is one of my favourites but I'm gonna have to go with Pippen.

Re: Pierce vs Pippen
Is Pierce even top 10 all time for small forwards? I think he's right on the outside, without making a list.

I get superstar calls
Re: Pierce vs Pippen
People forgetting how good of a defender Pierce was in his own right during his 08 run?

He was good, not elite.

Bird
Bron
Durant
Rick Barry
Dr J
Dominique
George Gervin
John Havlicek
Elgin Baylor
Then Pippen, Worthy, Tmac, Pierce
Adrian Dantley, Alex English, Bernard King, Melo, Shawn Marion
So yep that's right, Pierce is just barely off the list.
