I see your standards for great aren't very high. Why is james great? Cuz he defended derrick rose a green 22 yr old on a couple possesions? Either way, james isn't on pippens level defensively. Maybe they're comparable on the ball, but past that, its all pippen.
And in respones to grant hill, sure he spiked that one season. But im sure pippen would've too. Don't just lokk at stats bro. Look at theirrespective situations. Hill had carte blanche to shoot. For over 5 seasons. And he didn't play with guys like jordan and rodman who surely would've canibalized his statistical output. And even still, they put up very similar statistics.
And im not gonna debate you on james wight. He's terrible in the post so even if he is 270, he's not maximizing on it. Pippen was about 230 and had a very good post game.
And just so you know where im comming from, I think pippen in this era, even playing with jordan and his role with the bulls would've avg 25 ppg. You gotta look at situations and circumstances.
Don't just look at raw totals...look at efficiency. Having the green light to shoot doesn't mean green light in efficiency. In that area, Hill was better. Again, he was to Detroit what Lebron was to Cleveland. And looking at overall efficiency...Grant Hill's 2 best offensive seasons were better than Pippen's so called MVP season. It is what it is...
