At least Pippen came close to making the Finals in 1994 and 2000!!!


And without Jordan was unable to even to turn the trick. In 1994, Pippen's Bulls lost to the same Knicks team that Jordan's Bulls NEVER lost to in the conference finals. He was supposed to be the missing link in Houston, but again fell flat on his face.

Aside from Jordan in Chicago, Pippen had the same supporting cast, but couldn't get past the resentment of being forced to share the spotlight with somebody like Tony Kukoc long enough to beat the Knicks. As outsppoken as he was, you never saw Jordan go mental on Phil Jackson late in important games over a call. Pippen did it twice, and he'll be remembered for it as much as anything he accomplished in his career.

I guess you don't see the hole in your logic here? Replace freakin' PETE MYERS with a top 50 all time HOF of Pippen's level and I guarantee you Pippen would have won a title without Jordan in 1994.
