re: Pippen's Legacy and the 2000 Blazers

In 1994 Pippen refused to play the last 1.8 seconds because the final shot was not designed for him. He is a loser and that refusal is his legacy.

Or the migraine game

The 1994 season is proof Jordan sucked chode. He was replaced by the D-Leaguer Pete FREAKING Meyers and that Bulls team still won almost 60 games and almost made the finals.

That tells me that those Bulls teams would have won championships with just an average SG.

And I remember at the time of the jailblazers - my sister lived in Portland - and Scottie Pippen was blamed a LOT for that jailblazers selfish era attitude. Scottie was a great 2nd banana but once he was getting paid to lead and be top banana - it wasn't in him.

Pippen went from 14-18 FG per game with the Bulls to 6-9 FG per game with the Blazers.

I don't know why people would think the Blazers era would catapult Pippen. Fans complained about him - he was supposed to be so much more when the Blazers acquired him.

Rasheed was a crybaby and Bonzi was an a-hole but they drove that team in the win column.
