Would he have jumped from a top 40-50 player and into the top 25 if Kobe & Shaq just needed one more year? If Portland sinks a couple of baskets down the stretch of that 4th quarter?

As for the Blazers, they probably make another run in 2001 if they won IMO. I was too young to watch the games then but I've read up on the team and even booted up the YouTube time machine to watch some of those Blazers squads. Why I believe the Blazers would've stayed relevant is that our GM at the time (Known in Portland as Trader Bob) doesn't continue wheelin' and dealin' every year, keeping Jermaine O'Neal. The team chemistry was in shambles after that off-season all due to the arguably the best 2 man punch of all-time barely beating them out in 7.

Pippen would be top 20 if won a ring when MJ took a break.

Just my opinion, but I don't think a season where he averaged a little over 12 points a game should bump him that many spots higher.

People can't resist to turn a thread into something completely beside the point.

That Portland team is one of the all time best non-championship squads in NBA history imo.

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.

The Spider from Split sank that fvcking shot without even so much as grazing the rim and walked off like he was leaving church.

Pippen...not a good looking 1.8 seconds for you, homie.

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.

Is this real?

Can you imagine if Lebron did that?

Nothing brings the overall quality of the msb down more than individual NBA player threads. Even if they start with good intentions they become unreadable in 2 pages

No it won't because there's no comparison. Jordan > Lebron
