Also consider his intangibles and impact. After all, they won 3 times too so it was not "empty stats"
ALSO
Imagine having a lower DRtg than your prime DPOY player, every. single. Finals.
That's impact

Scottie Pippen's averages from 1991, 1992 and 1993 Finals combined:
21 points
9 rebounds
7 assists
2 steals
1 block
46%

21-9-7-2-1 on 46% for three straight Finals?...With elite defense? (lower DRtg than DPOY Jordan each series)
Kawhi on steroids...As a #2 option. Jesus
come on man you being a little foolish on this one. Kobe, kd or Steph depending on who you think is better, Kareem or magic depending on who you think is better. I'm probably missing a few from before my time also

Then you'd even have the likes of Wilt/West, Reed/Frazier, Hondo/Cowens, Oscar, Dr. J, McHale etc.

Yawn. Show me one guy who had more impact for three Finals like Pip did.
21-9-7-2-1 on 46% for three straight Finals?...With elite defense? (lower DRtg than DPOY Jordan each series)
Kawhi on steroids...As a #2 option. Jesus

pippen is up there, no doubt.
I can't even imagine how much of a blessing it is to play with the best perimeter defender who is also a selfless playmaker. must be an unreal privilege playing with that guy.

Magic was not a 2nd option Not even for 2 Finals let alone 3. Unless you're counting when they lost?
And Curry was 2nd option for 2 of them ('17 and '18) so maybe after this year we can add him to the list
But don't forget about defense, Pippen was playing at a higher level than DPOY Jordan
