Quote:let me revise a lil bit.  Pippen was an above average starter on the verge of being a star player in a league that was full of talent at the time.  Pippen had some holes in his offensive game up until about 91 is more what i was getting at.  That team grew together at the perfect time and when Jordan played baseball it showed Pippen was a playoff baller but not a superstar.  He was a very solid #2 on a team that had the best #1 the sport has ever seen.


Anyways isn't this thread about a a player who has a losing record in the finals that refers to himself as the king.

 

I still don't agree with this.  Just because you have the worlds best player in front of you, doesn't mean you are a star.  Trying to change the subject isn't going to help much either....threads can evolve.

 

I stole this, but....Considered one of the best small forwards of all time, Pippen was named to the NBA All Defensive Team eight consecutive times and the All NBA First Team three times. He was a seven-time NBA All Star and was the NBA All-Star Game MVP in 1994. He was named one of the 50 Greatest players in NBA history during the 1996-1997 season.  Typically everyone evolves as they develop and mature, but Pippen was a star from the get go, he was just over shadowed.
