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.

I disagree. Pippen was bound and determined to be the man they called on in every late-game situation, and throwing a temper tantrum is going to disrupt ANY team, as was evidenced by the Eastern Conference finals loss to the Pistons the year before they won their first title. It wouldn't have mattered WHO they put in that lineup. Pippen had a long history of letting his alligator mouth overload his azz, and fair or not, it's alot of what he'll be remembered for.
