If I am ranking the all-time greatest seasons by Bull players, I'm ranking Rose's 2011 before any of Pippen's.

Yeah. That's right. I'm poking the bear.

Well, Rose's 2011 season was the best season by any Bulls player since Jordan's 88 season.

To me at least.

Rose´s number has to be retired by the Bulls first, before arguing about that question.

We can only guess what he will win.

As a sidenote: We know that MJ is #1 and Pippen is #2. But who do you put on #3? Sloan or Love?
Rose.

That's true, but he needs to sustain that consistency to supplant Pippen as #2 in Bulls history, which barring injury or a severe drop-off statistically he will definitely do.

For sure Scottie is. It has been said but the dudes offense and defensive skill set was a vital part in the Bulls 90's run.

He will.

That's why I said all he needs to do is win 1 title and he secures that spot. I look at MJ and Pip as a 1a & 1b type scenario. They won together. Rose would win with his teammates also, but he would be the undisputed leader of the team.

Exactly. Didn't mean to come off as disagreeing with you. If I did, I apologize. Just saying that the year Rose had was great, but didn't make him #2 just by that one year. :hi5:

Whoa....whoa...friggin' whoa! This season by Rose was the best season of anybody since 1988??? What??? Jordan had a dozen seasons better than that...I am a no go on that one. Rose didn't have a great year by MVP standards, let alone Jordan standards....

In 1989 Jordan scored 32.5 with 8rebs and 8asts....Rose will NEVER do that...and lets not talk about the years he would win MVPs and titles...that is waaaaaay overboard. Unbelievable...lol

And another thing here folks...Pippen was Jordan's sidekick....it wasn't like Malone/Stockton or Kobe/Shaq type situation...Jordan was the leader of the Bulls...undisputed.

Really, how can Rose´s season where he lead his team to the ECF be better than any of Jordan´s six season where he lead his team to the tile???

I would put Roese´s season as the 7th best in Bulls history. But stat wise it may not even be in the Top 10.

LoL to all of you that think Rose last year was the best by any player since 1988 Jordan...That is just plain outright ridiculous....Obviously a lot of people here are in there early 20s and missed out...If you witnessed the Bulls from 88 to 98 you would know that...
Its not even a funny statement, its ridiculous.....Jordan was better than Rose every year from 88 to 98....And Derrick Rose is not on Pippens level yet......yu guys really need to slow down, and you youngsters here need to ask your daddys so they can explain....:sweep:

And as for you Hue, Pippen was no sidekick...he was his own man...
All. The discredit, hate and ignorance toward Pippen that you have shown over the last 3 months is more than disturbing..
You need to purchase the 90s seasons and review your thoughts...its hard to believe that you believe yourself when you type anything related to Scottie Pippen..
Go to the Hall and tell the experts that inducted Pip into the Hall of Fame the crap you talk and wattch yourself get laughed out of the building..

The emboldened is where I disagree.

The reason everybody on this topic has agreed that Rose has a chance to pass Pippen to be the 2nd greatest Bull of all-time is because, last season, he showed that he was the level Scottie was. Rose has already proven himself to be a better offensive player than Scottie Pippen. The defense needs work, but he will improve in that area.

Rose, in my opinion, is probably already the third greatest Chicago Bulls' player ever. And he may be the second greatest at his best.

And Pippen is a side-kick. On 9/10 teams, he wouldn't have been. But he was on the same team as JORDAN. Enough said.

In 1994 Pippen played without Jordan, in 1995 he lead the team in all stats before jordan came back. so he is not side-kick. i am not agree with that.
Rose is still not all around player like Scottie was so Pip is still better.
As we talked before Pip can score well and defensively he is much better then Derrick. Pip didn't shoot the ball a lot because he did another work on the offensive end. He made his teammates better by passing the ball and creating open shots for them.

Funny how you say Pippen would only be his own man on 9 of ten teams...Funny material bro........What would Rose be on Jordans team????? Ron Harper or B.j Armstrong???????LMAO.....Put Rose 1 on 1 with Pip and see how great Rose would be......It would be worse than putting Lebron on Rose.......Straight up no even funny..........Take away Rose and add Pippen to fill Roses shoes and the Bulls get past Miami...

Literally... 1.5 years as a team leader. The rest of the time: SIDE-KICK!


Rose is still not all around player like Scottie was so Pip is still better.

That is the worst logic I've ever heard in my life.

Pippen isn't as versatile as Andrei Kirilenko. I guess that means AK47>Pip! Oh and Pippen was more versatile than Shaq. So I suppose that means that Pip>Shaq, too!

As we talked before Pip can score well

Not as well as Derrick Rose.

and defensively he is much better then Derrick.

Duh.

Pip didn't shoot the ball a lot because he did another work on the offensive end. He made his teammates better by passing the ball and creating open shots for them.

You just described Derrick Rose.
