I just had a conversation where someone was convinced that Scottie Pippen was better than Dame Lillard and I was not so easily convinced. How do you guys feel? I feel like yes pippen was a better 2 way player, but dame was significantly better offensively and was the main option on his team. I’ve seen pippen without jordan… and…
Dame’s points are replaceable, but the intangibles and win-first mentality that Scottie brought was irreplaceable. Run the offense, anchor the defense, guard the toughest player, step up defensively and change the game by knowing what the opponent was doing. Step up rebounding. Make shots when MJ was in a rut. He affected the game and the Bulls success in so many ways.
