Bulls are insignificant right now.

Fork's just all Anthony Mason-buttfucking asshurt, so he takes it out on the guy whom he sees as the riding-of-the-coattails-snivelling-cockbag.  Scottie did benefit from being teamed with Jordan, obviously, but he was also able to take full advantage of the opportunity, and his 1993-1994 season alone should be a testament to the fact that this whole coattails thing is actually overplayed.

Let the record show that while I disagree with Fork on Pippen's worthiness as a player, it was in 1994 that he threw a hissy fit during the playoffs when Jackson called Kukoc's number with 1.8 left vs. the Knicks. Kukoc hit the shot to win it but Scottie refused to enter the game, then sulked while the team celebrated. Epic. Cock. Bag.

But a great player, one of the top defenders at his position ever, superb ball handler and shotmaker. Hall of Famer. May he rot.

That's fair.  I was expecting full-blown STICKPOKE here when I saw you replied.  Color me disappointed, I guess.

If the Knicks had a second fiddle with anywhere near the scoring-ability of Pippen, they'd have won at least one title. They didn't and they didn't. Sucks to be us.

That isn't the point. Pippen will always be regarded as better than he was. Even as a second banana, he's no James Worthy.

O RLY?

You're really dumb.  

The Bulls don't beat LA if Phil Jackson doesn't decide--after Game 1--to put Scottie on Worthy's All-World 6'9" point guard teammate.  He shut Magic's ghey ass down to notch Title # 1.

And Magic also had Kareem, who was still a force in the early-to-mid 80's.

About the only thing Worthy had over Pippen was that he was a more efficient scorer.  Pippen was a better passer, rebounder and a much, much better defender.

Patrick Ewing did average over 20 ppg through his career.  Close to 25 through his prime.  He would have been a fine second banana to Pippen.

Just to repeat my assertion about 1993-1994 since Fork didn't bother to check it out:

When you consider that the Greatest Player In The Game stepped down after Title #3 (and a 57-win season) and was replaced by the legendary Pete Myers, that the Bulls would win fifty-five games the following season and that Scottie was:

First in Points Per Game
First in Assists Per Game
First in Steals Per Game
First in 3-Pointers Made
Second in Offensive Rebounds Per Game
Second in Defensive Rebounds Per Game
Second in Total Rebounds Per Game
Second in Blocked Shots Per Game

...it makes the Worthy comparison seem like a waste of time.  Which it is.

Oh, Pippen also rocked the All-Star Game that year when he won the MVP.  

I'll let Eli run Worthy's best season for comparison's sake if he wants to, but I would think it sufficient to point out that Michael Jordan himself never ranked so high in so many categories in a single season (great as he was, MJ never ranked as high as second in boards in a single season in which he also ranked second (or higher) in blocked shots, or even vice-versa for that matter, not to mention ranking so high in all of those categories at once--not even in his ridiculous 1987-1988 season)

Scottie's a dumb motherfucker, an asshole, a waitress-stiffing, skanky-ho knockin' up, losing-all-his-money bumpkin who--yes--did sit out for those 1.8 seconds in a horribly ill-timed and misguided brain fart, and that may speak to how much of an ass and an idiot he is...and can mark against him in some small way...but he also turned into a great motherfucking basketball beast who had unique skills that James Worthy could only dream of.

See if you can fit this into the expanse of your cranium...

Not only did Worthy average a point and a half a game more than Pippen over the course of his career(17.6/16.1), he also had a FG percentage of .521 to Pippen's .473. When you get into playoff numbers, Worthy's PPG is 21.1 to Pippen's 17.5. Which means he actually got a lot better in crunch time.

You can have Pippen, I'd take Worthy.

Yeah, I already mentioned Worthy's slightly-more efficient scoring.  What about Pippen's far superior defense, and his edge in rebounding and distributing the ball?
