Is the Legacy of Scottie Pippen Fairly Praised in Comparison to Michael Jordan? | THE ODD COUPLE

[@KiLlACaMrOn94]

People, way too often, say that “without Scottie/whoever else from the organization, there is no Jordan, there is no 6 rings, there isn’t a Last Dance. Well, without Michael, they had a few guys who go on to be in a Finals elsewhere, let alone win championships. Jordan was already accomplished before Scott got there, he just hadn’t won a ring. In no way did Pippen create Jordan.

That's not true. I'm reading Pippen's book right now. He was playing his rookie season with a herniated disk. And he was playing behind Brad Sellers who was a lottery pick the previous season..

Rob G is not understanding, yes the last dance focused on mj, ut he was the leader of the squad. That dynasty started with mj, he started the build of the bulls when they were nothing. Scottie got drafted to a playoff team. Also, all the pts he's bringing up about how scottie looked in the doc was not what the general audience was tlkin about. If anything, we felt for scottie because mj had such praise for him despite the injuries, pay issues, and strife within the organization.

[@Crimson_Titan]

That's the thing Scottie and so many other MJ detractors miss about the point of superstars like MJ, which is that the burden of responsibility is ALWAYS placed on him. If the team loses, MJ gets blamed no matter how many stats he puts up. Conversely, if he wins, he deserves to get all the credit as well. The fact is that Pip, as good as he was, was imply just one of the best roleplayers in the league. As Rob points out, were he MJ's equal, he would have MVP awards (regular season and/or finals), he would've averaged more than 22 pts for his career. About the only legitimate claim that can be made in Pip's defense is that MJ didn't win in the playoffs before Scottie got there. And even that claim rings hollow, because Pip was playing with much higher caliber teammates the years he played w/out MJ, and still he lost. MJ didn't have any HoF-caliber players on his team during his first few years in the league.

[@drizzejohnson5767]

Pippen had very little to do with bulls winning that 1st playoff series. MJ had 45 & Pipp & Oakley the next 2 scorers both 10ppg. Pipp wasn’t really a star caliber play til the 91 playoffs. Basketball has 5 players on the court at a time but the talent gap(especially on offense) between MJ & his teammates is the widest on any championship team in modern nba history minus maybe 11 mavs & 94 rockets. MJ & Phil motivated Pippen because mentally he was so weak. That’s why MJ would give him praise to the press. Pippen is a clown. Great defender tho. BUT would he had been that great of a defender if he didn’t have to guard MJ in practice? Lol hell no

[@andrewmcfarlane4724]

Jordan averaged 10-30 ppg more than Pippen in every series, while also averaging more assists for their Finals career, Playoff career and regular season career, and received more DPOY votes nearly every year.. MJ is also #1 all-time in PPG, PER, WS/48, and other key stats while Pippen ranks about 120th in these areas - there's never been a bigger statistical gap between 1st and 2nd option.. Jordan led Pippen by 10-30 ppg in every series of their career, while everyone else in history needed teammates to lead in scoring for entire playoff runs - i.e. Wade and AD led Lebron in PPG for the 11' and 20' Playoffs, while Kyrie nearly matched Lebron in the 2016 Playoffs.. Lebron's sidekicks actually outplay the league MVP like Kyrie did in the 16' Finals, or Bosh in the 11' ECF, or AD outplayed future MVP Jokic in the 20' WCF... Pippen never came anywhere near doing that - he was averaging 10-30 less than Jordan in every series and peaking at 21 ppg in the Finals.. Imagine if Pippen went to the 93' Finals and outplayed MVP Malone - that's the only way Jordan's ring quality could be reduced to Lebron's best ring.

Mj not winning until he had Scottie join him is a little misleading as well. Making it sound like MJ had to join forces with Scottie in order to win.

[@kant5696]

Exactly. Jordan came into the league a killer. ROY, leading the league in scoring, DPOY as a guard! Pippen was raw talent. When you have to guard the greatest player in the league and arguably of all time, thats gonna make guarding anyone else seem like easy work. No doubt mj needed pippen cause he saw how valuable he was to the team with his skill set.

If my older brother says "Hey, man, without you, I'm not me" but all his friends are saying he's the man, as long as my brother respects and acknowledges me that is all I need to feel fullfilled.

[@A.Wojnarowski]

The issue with several former Bulls (obviously Scottie has lots of issues 😅) is that The Last Dance was promoted as a documentary of the last year of the greatest team ever, but it actually was a subjective promotion of MJ brand, which happened to bring up every star players' low points except MJ's. The point with Kerr episode was to show that MJ's fist somehow made Kerr a clutch shooter. It's an entertaining serie for sure, but certainly not a documentary.

The Bulls were 32-35 and about to be out of the playoffs with 17 games left. MJ came back and the Bulls won 13 out of 17 games and end the season in 5th place for playoffs. 1996 ECS Pippen 15ppg and 33% FG 1996 Finals Pippen 15ppg and 34% FG 1997 ECFR Pippen 16ppg and 38% FG 1997 ECF Pippen 16ppg and 41% FG 1998 Pippen quit on the team for 42 games and MJ took the team to a 62 wins, despite other injuries such as Rodman (37 games out), Longley 16 games out. 1998 ECFR Pippen 18ppg and 41% FG 1998 ECS Pippen 17ppg and 44% FG 1998 ECF Pippen 16ppg and 39% FG 1998 Finals Pippen 15ppg and 41% FG. The entire season and playoffs in 1998 Pippen was just an average player for the Bulls.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

I think some of why Scottie always gets upset about things like MJ being paid for the doc, which he donated anyways, is because you never really saw MJ use his leverage to push for guys who would’ve benefitted from things like that money when he easily could. When it came to pay for that doc if MJ pressed for guys to be paid something obviously they would’ve made something. Or back in the dance if he had ever pushed for Scottie to get his new deal, like he pushed to stop Scottie from being traded, Scottie probably gets that deal. But he never used his leverage to help guys like Scottie when he could have. And was he required to do that? No. But I imagine Scottie may have felt that way that MJ could’ve done things to help guys out but never really did. He’d speak on Scottie deserving to be paid like him but you never hear that he pushed for that or offered to make less so Scottie could be paid more and so on. That wasn’t a duty he had but I imagine it played a role in how Scottie is speaking out these days in the large mix of his negativity now.
