The season before the three point line was moved closer, Scottie shot 32% and the season when it was moved back, he shot 31.8%. After the line was moved back, he did have seasons where he came close to that 34.5% efficiency, but he never quite reached it, and it's important to note that he didn't take as many threes those seasons as he did in any of those 94-97 seasons.
Either way, pippen was right around the league avg for 3 pt shooting.

I think the people that saw MJ during the earlier years still remember that and rank MJ higher. The people that grew up watching the Bulls during the second three peat can't imagine anyone being a better defender than Pippen. I think that's the line in the sand with ISH.
Johnny Back and Cliff Levingston both were there during MJ's best defensive years. I'm sure some Bulls that played from 95-98 would say Pippen's greater.
Great point. I never thought of it that way and its true because MJ's and Pippen's defensive primes certainly didn't overlap.

In 91-92, the league average was 33.1%. Scottie was at 20.0%
In 92-93, the league average was 33.6%. Scottie was at 23.7%
In 93-94, the league average was 33%. Scottie was at 32%
In 97-98, the league average was 34.6%. Scottie was at 31.8%
In 98-99, the league average was 33.9%. Scottie was at 34.0%
In 99-00, the league average was 35.3%. Scottie was at 32.7%
In 00-01, the league average was 35.4%. Scottie was at 34.4%
In 01-02, the league average was 35.4%. Scottie was at 30.5%
In 02-03, the league average was 34.9%. Scottie was at 28.6%
Rather than "right around," I think it would be more accurate to say that Scottie was consistently below the league average.

Don't leave out 95, 96, 97. Regardless the threes he took in those years were behind the nba designated 3pt line.
Should we leave out the ppg avgs of all the wing players after 04? Since they changed the rules and made it easier to score from the perimeter?

Yeah, it's like calling someone the next Scottie Pippen is like an insult.
