OT: Karl Malone would pick Pippen over Jordan

[Tazer4mvp]

I love how people forget that Pippen should have taken the Bulls to the finals, if not for a BS call by hue Hollis on that 3. Best thing about Pippen is he could effect a game without scoring a single point.

I don't think people have forgotten that. But they also haven't forgotten how he refused to re-enter the game after a TO in Game 3 of that Knicks series, and instead pouted like a toddler on the bench because the final play wasn't drawn up for him.

The issue is not about Pippen's greatness. It's about taking him first over CLEARLY greater players.

Unfortunatly, no matter what me or anyone else writes about Pippens greatness on the internet to convince people of the unspoken truth, some will never get the memo, especially here.

So in dedication to Pip, I have posted the best 3 part Pippen short film on the internet.
Video speaks louder than any words so enjoy and appreciate the greatness.

This 3 part utube film best sums up what Pip was all about and its just a focus on his offensive game defense not included.
.Pippen was capable of scoring in just about every way Jordan could, when needed....And when needed, Pippen did just that.

Pippen never played in a game that he didn't score a single point in his entire Bulls career.

In some other sports maybe yes...but in an individually driven sport like basketball where one player can make a hell of a lot of difference.....I think it'd be pretty tough logically to NOT start a team with the greatest player ever.

this isn't baseball

I understand it's not baseball. Basketball maybe the only sport where one man can win a championship. See Olajuwon.

That said I'm not saying you don't take Michael. I'm more saying I think it's worth talking about that five great team players maybe the best solution.

there's an argument sure..i never said there wasn't an argument..i'm pointing out that because basketball is so heavily based on individual play..it makes more sense to pick the best player ever...who is probably the best offensive perimeter player ever and one of the best on defense

if you are implying that jordan wasn't a great team player...then i would say that is another argument in itself

 

[brett05]

Don't you have to think about the whole team at all times?

i changed the post after i thought about it...

but my counter to that is that it helps to have a guy who can completely assert himself as the leader(offensively and defensively)

jordan's value is pretty insane

 

[brett05]

Like I said not saying I wouldn't but there are quite a number if teams that have won with no one as dominant as Michael

 

[brett05]

I think it's hard either way to call MJ a team player but like you said its another story

Pippen also was also one of those rare guys who could completely assert himself in every catagory of the game of basketball.
Pippen's value and completeness is also pretty insane.

I only wish Pippen in his prime could of defended Lebron James.
Just imagine how many points Lebron would score against a defensive beast such as Pippen in the 4th quarter........not 15.....not 10......not 5........probably 0.

You make it sound like no one ever scored on Pippen

Portland called, it wants Malone to pick Bowie before Pippen.
