Look at the couple years he didn't have Jordan, was he good? Yes. Was he dominating? No. Thats not the kind of player he was. Paul Pierce is better than Scottie Pippen.

Pippen was about a 20-25 ppg scorer, but he was GREAT on defense. Just awesome. He didnt have that killer instinct on offense that other players have, but he had it all. He wasjust a great all around player. It sucks his knees went bad on him late in his career.

More like a 17-22 PPG scorer. He never ever scored more than 22.0 PPG in a given year. As I said, good player, but I think there are a few other guys that played around that period that you could still plug into that Bull's lineup and they still win those championships.

ooh, i am sure there is, they had a good team. Him and Jordan on D, can lock up any other teams power players. Then you had that monster on the boards in Rodman. He may be a freak, but that guy can grab rebounds. I think he averaged close to what 18 a game one year? They just had the PErfect players for that system.
