Pippen did it all, Mike just scored.

[3ball]

Do his 9 All- NBA first team defense awards count?

^^^^ How many did he get with the scoring title?

I'll wait

Or did he just focus on D??... and virtually NEVER command a double team .... And get half his measly 18 a game off the attention paid MJ????

Again, I'll wait..

[Uncle Drew]

Probably lower top 10

Good scorer

I think you're right. Glorified Jeff Malone.

[paksat]

Probably lower top 10

Good scorer

I'd put him in the lower 50s

[TheCorporation]

That does it, Jordan is no longer top 3. Top 5 even seems a stretch.

Makes sense. He's just a glorofied Carmello Anthony when you boil it down.

[jstern]

Oh, and MJ was required to do everything in the clutch, as teammates were instructed by Phil Jackson to "leave Michael all alone":

Phil Jackson to teammates during 4th quarter of 91' Finals:

Don't leave Michael all alone here.. it's not time YET..

That's the kind of stuff that I love. Where a person reaches such a level that it's clear, there's no objection. That's a true sign of an absolute best. Few players reach such a level.

I'd put him in the lower 50s

MJ is #2 in points and #10 in eFG% so hes not THAT bad yikes

[LeCola]

Wow, man I saw that photo first in my life, what a thread.

[Da_Realist]

Can anyone explain this picture

Lame. MJ outscored Pip by 14 per game while matching him in every other category. Except for rebounding, they are only separated by a few tenths of a point per game.

Can anyone explain this picture

Legoat led both teams in all stats

[superduper]

Jordan is close in everything except rebounding and he's the GOAT scorer in history by a lightyear.

How you interpret that in whatever way you're interpreting it is beyond me.

[3ball]

Legoat led both teams in all stats

He led the most important category by 2 ppg

MJ led by 20 ppg in the 93' and 98' Finals, and 10-20 ppg for all Finals

So one guy had an equal scoring partner that commanded double-teams and closed, while the other guy was a 1-man show and closer

Night and day..

this is the great "leader" that was pippen

That year, the Bulls were a middle pack team and weren't going anywhere before MJ returned towards the end of the season.

anyways..

6911 > 5987

Yikes

[72-10]

topic ban, the type of topic i'd expect to proliferate this bored in a virulent no less volatile fashion from someone who started watching the L in 92. Look at me, sounding like the public defender.
