    I’m so confused.
    I think the point is...

    R Miller vs. 90' Pistons..... 20.7 on 57%... 17.9 usage
    Pippen. vs. 90' Pistons..... 16.6 on 43%... 20.4 usage

    R Miller vs 93' Knicks....... 31.5 on 53%... 27.5 usage
    Pippen. vs 93' Knicks....... 22.5 on 51%... 28.4 usage

    R Miller vs 94' Knicks....... 24.7 on 44%... 30.1 usage
    Pippen. vs 94' Knicks....... 21.7 on 41%... 31.7 usage

    R Miller vs 95' Magic........ 25.9 on 52%... 26.2 usage
    Pippen. vs 95' Magic........ 19.0 on 42%... 23.1 usage

    R Miller vs 00' Lakers....... 24.3 on 41%... 25.0 usage
    Pippen. vs 00' Lakers....... 15.1 on 43%... 19.5 usage
    Pippen. vs 99' Lakers....... 18.3 on 33%... 23.5 usage

    R Miller 98' ECF............... 17.4 on 41%... 21.1 usage
    Pippen. 98' ECF............... 16.6 on 39%... 26.0 usage
    Against common playoff opponents, Reggie Miller destroys Pippen in his performances and production. And he did it as the 1st option, with no MJ to distract the defense... just Rik Smits. So if Reggie played with Jordan it would have been even more of a wrap. Like some Curry Durant type tandem.

    But that’s not what he said..

    And that’s not what the thread title says

    I know his ultimate “point” is that Pippen sucked. Trust me, that is not missed..

    I mean.... the title is pretty clear. Why couldn't Reggie and the Pacers beat the the '94 Knicks if the '98 Pacers were a hair away from beating them with MJ?

    Nevermind that the Bulls were a shot away from a potential 0-3 hole and sweep vs the Knicks. Pippens 1st option caliber is just far below Reggies for their career.

    And I don't see Reggie being worse if he gets to be 2nd option to the GOAT and gets even easier looks.

    Yes, I understand what the title says. I’ll refer you back to my first post then..

    94 and 98 are different years. By a decent amount.
