Is Pippen the Greatest "Robin" in NBA History?

[10000 Days]

As a fan of Shaq, he needed to be surrounded with these three people offensively for him to succeed: a decent PF with a midrange shot (it keeps the next big man from doubling), anybody who could shoot from the corner (spaces up his post position), and a very good wingman who can slash or shoot from the elbow.

The only one who might be in Jordan's tier at his absolute peak was Olajuwon.

I would give pre back injury David Robinson the next best chance.

Only three guys have won MVP, Defensive Player of the year and a scoring title. Jordan, Olajuwon and Robinson.

Shaq needs a clutch shooter down the stretch and Pippen was not that guy.

Barkley would not provide the necessary defense. Just ask Bobby Knight.

At one time Hakeem Olajuwon had an aura to him. The same special aura only guys like Jordan and Magic had. Barkley in his prime was also a different type of player not seen before.
