re: Is Kawhi overrated on the MSB, or not?

quote:

.also after bringing up Grant Hill, implying he was better than Scottie, he doesn't make your list.

---

prime Grant Hill > Pippen

carrer Grant Hill < Pippen

Career Grant Hill doesnt make my all time 50.

quote:

---

well that's 34 (and you're stretching). +/- 15 players is right at 20 and 50.

---

Naw, I could have stretched it to 40 like i originally said, but after typing it out these were the 34 i thought for sure were better than Pippen.

quote:

Wade isn't better than Pippen.

Wade: 24ppg 6ast 5 rebs 49FG% 25.1 PER career

Pippen: 16ppg 6ast 5 rebs 47% FG 18.6 PER career

DWade is a top 5 SG of all time. His greatness is so underrated.

quote:

---

KG isn't better than Pippen.D

---

Garnett is better by just about any measure that you can come up with. PER, win shares, defensive win shares. Whatever you want to compare them with.

Top 5 PF of all time.

quote:

---

.Durant, at this point, isn't better than Pippen.

---

Durant is a 4x scoring champ and he is only 26.


Outside of defense and passing, there isn't anything Pippen can do that is close to Durant.

quote:

During the 1992 Olympics, Chuck Daly called Scottie his second-best player, describing him as the ultimate 'fill-in-the-blanks guy.' That's right-Bill Simmons

---

"fill in the blanks guy" is the definition of an ultimate role player. Because of his versatility he very well might have been the 2nd most important piece to the coach.

now 2nd best player? naw.

within 5 years pre/post 92' Olympics, Jordan, Malone, Adrmiral, Barkley, & Magic all won NBA MVP awards. Magic and Jordan winning multiple.

quote:

---

n Fact-Malone,Robinson and Pippen tied for the most ALL NBA appearances with 7 in that time-span

---

there was a lull of SF's during that period, so he was always the clear choice, esp given his team's success.

quote:

---

Jordan
Hakeem
Pippen
Barkley
Shaq
Payton
Stockton
Malone
The Admiral
Ewing
Grant Hill
Penny Hardaway
Drexler
Nique
Price/KJ

forgot about Wilkins.

That's 11 guys right there I like over Pippen.
