Was Pippen really Better Than Michael Jordan ?

Grant went into the lane towards Jordan, another jumper, looks like he's in the ring, very painful. Hey guys, this is Dominique Wilkins, this is Sean, this is Gary B. Hey, this is NBA fans. What's happening? This is Vince Carter. What's happening? I'm Matt Bars. If you're an old school NBA fan like me, be sure to check out the Basketball Time Machine with my man Sea Davis. Hey guys, how are you doing? My name is Shawn David and I welcome you to basketball. time machine, I hope it's your favorite old school NBA show in today's episode. I want to take a look at Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen.

Now most of you remember that Scotty Pippen came out a while ago saying that he wanted to be remembered as the greatest player of all time. and obviously we know this isn't true and maybe it was even a joke, but you know, the media talks about it, a lot of people think that Scotty was 100% serious and I thought, well, let's take a look and compare Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen and let's see if Scotty was

really

better

in some aspects of the game, so this is what we will see in this episode, but before we start, please like the video if you enjoy the content and subscribe to the channel.

Go ahead, how am I going to approach this video now? I thought I'd categorize everything and want to get on the offensive. The first thing I want to talk about is who was the

better

shooter: Scotty Pippen or Michael Jordan. And I have to be honest, he was a little closer than he expected. With the three-point shot they were more or less on the same level, but in the mid-range game, we all know that Michael Jordan was one of a kind and with all the difficult shots he made and with all the easy shots he made, he was a very, very reliable shooter and people always say oh he wasn't a great three point shooter, he was okay, he wasn't great, but he wasn't either.

Bad, Scotty Pippen had a higher volume when it came to outside shooting, but when you look at the percentage, they were pretty much the same, so he would give the KN to Michael Jordan simply because he was the better all-around shooter . What I want to take a look at is the versatility. Now there probably isn't a category that is as easy as this one. Michael Jordan offensively his versatility paralleled the UN. No, no one was at his level when it comes to artistic shots. the midrange obviously we talk about it if it comes to finishing at The Rim the game after and all Michael Jordan was the total package and Scotty Pippen was a very, very versatile offensive player, but Michael Jordan was just the best in that category, so That category is also for MJ.

The next category is passing and the one thing I always remember is a lot of people saying, "Oh, Michael Jordan wasn't a great passer and that's Michael Jordan, he was a very, very good passer and I don't even go by the numbers." ". there because now Jordan and Pitman were more or less on the same level when it came to career assists, but Michael Jordan's job was to score, if there was an open man, he would find them. I mean, there's countless evidence on YouTube just do it, watch the entire game and you'll see that he was a willing passer, if someone was open I'd go to Scotty Pippen, he's still the best passer, a little bit better, because his game is He was more focused on finding his teammates and getting his teammates. involved and that's what Scotty had a different job than Michael Jordan and for one to have to go to Scotty even though the numbers are pretty much the same, I'll still give it to Mr.

Pippen. The next one I want to talk about is the decisive spot now it's easy too Michael Jordan was the greatest player of all time in the category with I don't know Larry Bird, for example, Reggie Miller, they're just a handful of those types of people. um Scotty Pippen once said that he felt like he never had the chance to develop that clutch, Gene or whatever you want to call him, and you'll be surprised if you go on YouTube and find out that there are a lot of games where Scotty had the last chance but he didn't.

He got it right. many of them, who would have had more opportunities if it weren't for Jordan? He absolutely would have had the opportunity to improve that aspect of his game, but in comparison, we have to be fair and one also goes to MJ. Let's get to my favorite part of defense, the first category will be ball defense and Jordan was a crazy defensive player on the ball and although there are some players like Rasheed Wace who say Jordan was just a good defender, I don't know what Rashid is . Rasheed is talking, but for me the difference between Scotty and Jordan is still a little bigger because for me Scotty is probably the best defender of the ball of all time and we have to give credit where credit is due, the funny thing is that even players like Isaiah Thomas, who were bashing Scotty Pippen for so many years over the last few years, now coming out and saying yeah, Scotty was in a league of his own and yeah, I feel the same way, so Scotty Pippen.

Below is Dennis Rodman. The advantage of Dennis Rodman is that he could defend multiple positions. Which Scott could do too, but Rman could defend positions one through five. Scotty position five. I don't think so, but Scotty was crazy. I'm talking about Magic Johnson's finals. 91 The next category is help to the lateral defense and I have to give this to Michael Jordan now that we know that Scotty was also sensational playing in the help position, but that was Jordan's experience and the curious thing is that there are some players of the NBA that I don't I don't give him credit for that aspect of Jordan's game that to me shows that he is okay, if you are a true student of the game, you know how important help is to the success of the team in lateral defense and if You take a look at the amount of steals Michael Jordan H had many of them through help side defense and there are some players like Kenny Smith who gave Jordan the credit in that regard so one has to go to MJ too now, the following categories are all a wash, block, steal. and rebounding as far as stats, they all look the same now that Jordan was shorter, so maybe and because he was playing shooting guard, maybe it's more impressive that he got the same amount of rebounds, I don't know, but to be fair, I think they were On the same level, there are excellent statistics for their position.

Great stats for players who would still average a lot of points and did so many things in the game that showed how effective, versatile, and valuable those guys could literally do. everything and no, I don't want to say one was better than the other, I say it's a wash and um well deserved that both players are in the highest categories on the planet, the next category of basketball IQ, I would do it a little, a bit. a little a little no, I just want to say I would give it to Michael Jordan a little bit, but Pippen was smart too.

I give it to Michael Jordan a little bit, a little bit like 0.001. They are both players with the highest basketball IQ you know in Larry's category. Bird and the only reason he wanted to give Michael Jordan the nut is because Michael Jordan had that. I mean it's okay if I do this and I can destroy it that way, there's this little mental edge, if you want to call it. that's Michael Jordan a little bit slightly and the last and that's also easy mental toughness Scotty learns to be tough through Michael Jordan and that's not even a knock everyone learns something about how to improve Jordan got his mental toughness through all the battles with his brother, so he developed them through that influence Scotty developed mental toughness through Michael Jordan, but it took Scotty a couple of years, it took Scotty a couple of years, but there's Jordan Bird, those guys the ones you put in the room against the Entire Army and they would still come out victorious and that mentality is that it's just a handful of those players and Scotty wasn't at that level, which is no knock, but Jordan is a lion in itself so to summarize now obviously Jordan was the greatest player and Jordan is the greatest player of all time but the reason I made this video is just to show that there were some categories that Scotty was in on the same level or even better than MJ, which again shows how great Scotty Pippen was.

I wish he handled the whole situation in this, uh, right now a little better, but Scotty deserved flowers, you were better than him in some categories, but no, you weren't better than Michael Jordan in total, we all know that, okay , so leave it. Let me know in the comments below what you think of this video and I hope to see you next time in the basketball time machine. Charles, did you get any advice from me on how to start the season again. Well your new Foot Locker team is a big part of this now you just need a short memory, short memory, all the greats have a short memory, so when you had a bad game you just forgot about it, you never had a bad game, no you remember, they used to call you the Round Mound, the bounce m m remember when you threw that guy out the window I'm a pacifist what about the moment you look?

All I know is that all the greats have bad memories of Pippin knows that I do and I'm the best Chicago Bull of all time. and this is how it's done
