I just had a conversation where someone was convinced that Scottie Pippen was better than Dame Lillard and I was not so easily convinced. How do you guys feel? I feel like yes pippen was a better 2 way player, but dame was significantly better offensively and was the main option on his team. I’ve seen pippen without jordan… and…
I watched every single Bulls game of both 3 peats growing up and I don’t think it’s so clear cut. I honestly think Dame takes it one on one. Pip might make his team better overall, but I probably give it to Dame one on one. And I love Pippen and hate Lilliard.
The thing is that NBA basketball is a team sport so your actual answer is Pip
Pippen might be the best perimeter defender in league history though. And there’s zero chance Dame is stopping Pippen from driving to the basket and dunking.
Yeah, this is probably the reality of it, just had to think about it more.
