Is Pippen the Greatest "Robin" in NBA History?

[10000 Days]

Is Scottie Pippen really the greatest number 2 guy in NBA history? Or is it just because he always played second fiddle to the GOAT?

Are there other players who weren't the best player in their team, but still better than Pippen?

Shaq to Kobe. Magic to Kareem.

 

[PRESIDENT TRUMP]

Id say it's KD.

 

[faustian]

Probably LeBeta

[Revolver]

Probably Kobe to Shaq and Pau

Kobe put up nba finals mvp level numbers in the 2nd and 3rd ring with Shaq, just Shaq was in god mode

Pippen was a true robin, the greatest perimeter defender ever, and the perfect compliment to the ball dominant GOAT

Its hard to say.

Pippen was a great complimentary player to MJ but he was kinda average after MJ left and didn't accomplish nothing afterwards.

On the other hand you have :

Stockon & Malone

Shaq & Kobe

Lebron & Bosh & Wade

KD & Curry

Nash & Barkley

Kareem & Magic


If were talking strickly as a "Robin", id say yes Pippen.

But almost everyone on that list cept arguably Bosh became Nitewing or Batman.

 

[jefferz]

Stockton needs to be in the top 5 conversation.

 

[Michaelangelo]

Knicks’ bank account to Phil Jackson

 

[Prefect]

Shaq to Kobe. Magic to Kareem.

Pippen was better than kobe.

Wade was a fricken good 2. Bosh was great as well.

You are forgetting how pippen played when mj was playing baseball. He was an mvp candidate. Portland and houston was pippen getting old.

 

[MadSquabbles500]

Scottie won 6 championships under Jordan's wing, so yes

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Pippen was better than kobe.

Shut the hell up

 

[Graves The Elder]

[Prefect]

Shut the hell up

Pippen was better than kobe.

Wade was a fricken good 2. Bosh was great as well.

Kobe was twice as good as Jordan.

Barkley and K.J. >

Tournament it was Rodman and Robinson. Me and my brother would use them and just beat the shit out of people so they would have atleast one shitty player in the second half. Finesse doesnt work in tournament.
