re: Rank these NBA players: Pippen, DWade, Durant, Garnett

Pippen had an MVP caliber season after MJ retired, but he's still a level below the other three, albeit at the top of that next level. Hard to imagine Pippen leading a team to a title. Hell, he probably didn't have the temperament given his hissy fit when Kukoc was picked by Phil to shoot a game winner in the playoffs that year.

Wade is a top 5 SG all time, and I'd take him in his prime over Kobe.

Durant is a top 5 pure scorer of all time, and I'd flip a coin between him and KG as my No. 1 choice. Both had/have amazing, rare skillsets, size, and athleticism. They're freaks up there with Dream, Shaq, Magic, and Dirk.

Usually when someone overrates Pippen it's so they can elevate Kobe or LeBron over MJ, in which case this whole argument is a waste because there's no reasoning with idiots.
