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…
Bulls don’t win 6 rings without him, but the Bulls also would have won 6 rings if you give MJ any other 90s all star instead of Pippen.
If you swap Pippen in Chicago with Alonzo Mourning in Charlotte for example. The Bulls probably still win 6 chips and the Pippen-led Hornets never make it out of the first round.
There’s nothing anyone can do to prove or disprove that statement
You can say that about the statement that they wouldn’t have won without him too. It’s a hypothetical
And that’s why talking about sports is fun. In a lot of debates, nobody is wrong.
