yes pippen was a huge part in why jordan won championships(partly because alot of the eastern dynastic teams of the 80s were falling and there was a transition period..however that doesnt mean that the nba overall was down)..but jordan won games and series before pippen...
and lets not act like the pippen was a better winner than jordan or would have been a top 5 great if he had been playing long term as the leader of a team like the bulls....
Are you reading what heffner is saying? Hes basing pippens whole career of 94 and 95 and cuz he didn't lead the bulls to a championship. All im saying is who could've done better? Cuz all the players I've seen in similar situations ie bryant, wade, for example have faired much worse.
And then he says stupid things like pippen wasn't clutch. Well what about the blocks on charles smith? Or the close out game 5 in 91? Or 92 game 6? Or the steal he got in 97 vs the jazz? Those are just a few clutch moments and showed his ability to take over games. He wasn't a 40 type guy, but that wasn't his style. His game was great defense and versitily. And in that he was clutch and excelled. Its like knocking chris paul for not posting up kobe this past finals. It just dumb.
