These guys were better then Pippen, I used 1989-1995 I think.
Bird's last Larry Bird season was 1988
Barkley was routinely savaged throughout his career as a me first gunner
Clyde Drexler was better than pippen? Ridiclous
Hakeem, Shaq, Robinson and Ewing are all centers and as such one of them was always the 4th best center in the league when Pippen was the best SF.
Reggie Miller? He is surely a better announcer. Even he wouldnt say he was better than Pippen.

Ask Jordan who he would have rather had as a running mate and outside of Hakeem or Shaq he is taking Pippen everytime. (Bird was a corpse in the 90's)
LOL

Clyde Drexler vs. Scottie Pippen is certainly debatable. I don't think there is anything "ridiculous" about that notion. Drexler's teams were consistently amongst the best in the league and he was their best player. Often, it was Jordan that Drexler was being compared to (now that might be ridiculous). From any standpoint besides "titles" which you already said was a poor measure, Drexler's career matches up very well with Pippen's.

Drexler was a great offensive player but Pippen was a better all around player.

I agree but its not a ridiculous notion to say that drexler was better. He was a better offensive player than pip and certainly a better shooter and scorer.

Barkley could be argued as better as well. Pip was great but you are acting like he was the other Jordan. He wasn't.

Now that Juwan Howard has signed on with the Heat, I can see at least four or five championships on the horizon. Good God, is that team a bunch of sacks after the big trio.

pretty comical that Magic weighed in and said he wouldn't have left his team to go join Larry Bird to win an NBA championship


I guess Kareem and Big Game James were slouches that Magic carried to 5 rings , what s joker

Magic was drafted by the Lakers, he never left a team to join Kareem and Worthy.

Didn't we have the Worthy debate recently? I think his worth is overestimated - no pun intended. Alcindor was on the back end of his career at that point. I'm sure Magic couldn't have won all those championships without Norm Nixon or Jamal Wilkes either, but make zero doubt about it, those were MAGIC's teams.

how long do you think magic would have stayed in LA if Kareem and Worthy

he would have bailed just like Lebron
