Greatest sidekick of all time: Pippen vs Kobe

[Dragic4Life]

Who ya got?

For me, it's Kobe hands down. Pippen was more like a 1b option rather than a true 2nd option.

But yeah, Kobe Bryant is the GOAT 2nd option, 3-peat and lack of FMVP proved that.

[Lebronxrings]

I would go with kobe. Was the second option of 2 very succesful duos with 1st options, shaq and gasol. His ego did cost them some games tho.

Still more alpha than betabran

[HOoopCityJones]

Dwade was better than both.

[DonDadda59]

Both better than Bron in 2011. Flash deserved better than that.

During his legendary 8 point game in the finals, Wade had to alpha the shit out of him... still didn't work.

But hey at least he played his sidekick role to a tee during Kyrie's ATG performance the other night

I would say Pippen is more of a 1b than a true sidekick.

I would say Pippen is more of a 1b than a true sidekick.

If you look up sidekick in the dictionary it says "Scottie Pippen". That's no knock on him, he was a great player, but he was the consummate sidekick. Great floor game, defense, and intangibles, and he knew how to play his role perfectly. Kobe was much closer to a 1b than Pippen. 1a and 1b refers to scoring and Kobe was obviously the better scorer, but I think Pippen was a better overall sidekick.

[AnaheimLakers24]

5> 2
81> 61
7 inches > 4 inches
vanessa > mrs porky

Bron on some 1P bullshit:



Sidekick to the sidekick's sidekick.

Kobe was hardly a sidekick role in 2001 or 2002.

Kobe 2000 vs pippens career? Pip easily. Pip could complement any....any, player. Can't really say that with Kobe.
