    Default Pippen vs 88-90 Pistons: 12 on 42%... name a better reason for bulls losses those yrs

    then pippen had to cut his teeth AGAIN vs another physical team - the 90's Knicks - he nearly caused loss in the 92' ECSF by getting bullied and outplayed by X-man

    (16 on 40% for Pippen.... 19 on 50% for X-man.. and mj had to save pippen from getting rattled in Game 7, shown here

    Why did MJ decide to quit on his team before tipoff of game 5 in 1989 against Detroit?

    Bulls down by 1 going into the 4th quarter.... MJ makes zero effort to win the game.

    Why is it he quit?

    losing the game you were already behind in is quitting?

    so what was lebron doing when he lost fourth quarter leads in games 2-4 against the 07' Spurs, or games 1 and 3 against the 18' Warriors?

    Also, MJ talked about saving Pippen from X-man:

    "I had to talk trash to the bully so everyone (Pippen) could gain confidence"

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_qvEmm-sZbU&t=27m49s



    lebron never had to do that for Wade, Kyrie, Bosh or Love because they were already veteran superstars, not young players and wet behind the ears like Pippen

    pippen was scared of physical teams like the Pistons and Knicks, so he played like dogshit the first few times against each of them

    He decided to quit before tip-off. His biggest postseason game to date, 46MP and only 8 total FGA. Down by 1 going into the 4th, yet continued to leave his teammates hanging.

    A win would have put em up 3-2 heading HOME against the defending EC champs. Absolute quite job from the "GOAT"

    he only made 6 because he won organically

    he had a team of rookies in 88' and 89' with zero accolades, while 07-10' Lebron had a team of vets with numerous all-star and all-defense players (Mo, Zydrunas, Jamison... Hughes/Varejao all-defense).

    again, mj had an accolade-less team of rookies that he built into champions

    Jordan.... 1 all-star teammate = 6 rings
    Kareem... 9 all-star teammate = 6 rings
    Lebron.... 6 all-star teammate = 3 rings

    MJ had an all star teammate only 1 year?

    Idiot

    MJ had more help, weak rings, and his stats suck compared to LBJ. #NotMyGoat

    .
    thread cliffs:

    no one would've heard of the Pistons if MJ had anyone else except Pippen from 88-90' - only pippen couldn't win with the best help ever, a 35/6/6/dpoy/mvp

    damn, pippen sucked balls huh...

    imagine if MJ had reggie's 21 ppg on 142 ORTG that he put up in his first playoffs. That's an easy ring.

    why was pippen so bad at scoring?

    pippen hated physical teams like th Pistons, Knicks, 96' Sonic's, 98' Pacers, 97' heat, etc

    otoh, Miller thrived against the Knicks and other tough teams

    Miller was clutch and was more mature than pippen

    pippeen couldn't shoot and had a basic handle.. his points were "in the flow", so nothing in the clutch
