Nope Sheed and Steve Smith were better, and more clutch and the teams go to guys. Pippen was old and damn near finished.

1- Dominique Wilken would beg to differ
2- That's not what I asked...ANSWER THE QUESTION I ASKED..He played on three teams...WAS HE EVER THE BEST PLAYER ON HIS OWN TEAM?

So....he sat out the biggest play of the season.

I love how when debating if someone is OVERRATED, people debate it by bringing up his ratings. I LOVE THAT. HE CAN'T BE OVERRATED IF HE'S NOT RATED HIGHLY. SO ALL OF THESE RATINGS PROVE MY POINT.

All those ratings...and he still ain't shit.

**edit**
let me not say he ain't shit. That's silly. He was a good ball player a real good ball player. But Hall of Fame he ain't deserving, 50 greatest he ain't deserving, and Dream Team #1, he damn shit sure wasn't deserving. The Dream Team was some Batman shit, His Robin ass didn't belong on it.

Everyone looks good playing next to the GOAT. BJ ARMSTRONG MADE THE AL STAR TEAM!!
All the ratings you have listed came on the back of MJ. People look better when playing with GOAT level talent.

i remember when people were saying, "why would Lebron leave all that talent he had in Cleveland" My point exactly people look better when playing with superior talent.
