Look man, numbers don't lie

And when jordan retired,, in the words of rodman, pippen was possibly the best player on the planet. Dude had a monster year, and lead the bulls in every offensive category, something jordan never did. And he had the bulls one game out of the ECF. They didn't go due to a bad referee call. ...so the blazers is just one tale of the tape.


Hell, when pip decided to have surgery, and sat out most of the first half of the season in 97-98..bulls struggled like hell! Which the series already showcased. They were barley able to score 80 points a game in some of those losses, and were losing to bottom teams. Jordan had a better squad than what pippen had in 94/95. If pippen doesn't come back, jordan and the bulls get tossed easily in the playoffs in 97/98. Hell rodman carried the bulls while pippen was out, which the documentary is going to showcase on Sunday.

Jordan does not possess the magic/pippen/lebron like ability to get everyone involved, which is why you put those players on any team they are going to get them to the playoffs. ....Jordan is more of an individual assassin. He will destroy and get his, no doubt, but not make everyone better and run the offense as smoothly as pippen. Jordan couldn't run the triangle like Pip. That's just pure facts. Tex stated that pippen was the best runner of the Triangle of all players he coached it to.

You even saw that with the Wizards...I know those years don't count. He was old, but he didn't try to make those players better. He would chastise them verbally....

People get upset, and don't want to hear it. But Pippen was more valuable than Michael Jordan.



“Phil Jackson, at times has said that Pippen is the team’s most valuable player. Where Jordan is the diamond pendant at the base of the gleaming necklace, Pippen is the thread running through the emeralds, pearls, and lesser stones that compose the whole,” Tellander stated.

Tellander even added that Pippen didn’t only imply a solid defensive approach, but that he was also the key factor in Jackson’s trademark “triangle offense.”


“He’s the glue that holds the Bulls’ triangle offense together, its Doberman defense in place. He’s the facilitator, a point forward who can bring the ball up the court, penetrate, shoot, rebound, hit open teammates, and guard anyone against point guards to power forwards. But most of all, he can play team ball,” Tellander added."
