August 17, 20179 yr I guess there is nobody else to put in his place, but Pippen just doesn't seem on near the same level as the others. Of course I think he is the most overrated player in NBA history, so part of my bias is coming through. I completely agree. Never bought into the "greatness" of Pippen.
August 17, 20179 yr I completely agree. Never bought into the "greatness" of Pippen. No, you're right. It was all Jordan and Phil. And Steve Kerr. Scottie was just lucky to be there.
August 17, 20179 yr No, you're right. It was all Jordan and Phil. And Steve Kerr. Scottie was just lucky to be there. That's not what I'm saying. Pippen was great. I just don't buy that he's right behind Michael on the greatness scale. Great player? Yes. Top 5 in the decade?? No.
August 17, 20179 yr Author Team #1 is the all decade team from the 1990's NBA.com: NBA.com All-Decade Team That was a coincidence...:lol2:
August 17, 20179 yr Author I'll admit, I had to start looking at stats to come up with something. I don't know if this is it, or not...but, it looks like team #1 has the top players for each position using career steals. And, looks like team #2 is top players for each position using career points. Am I close? Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!!! Team #1 is the top players by position in All-Time Steals. Team #2 is the top players by position in All-Time Points Scored.
August 17, 20179 yr No, you're right. It was all Jordan and Phil. And Steve Kerr. Scottie was just lucky to be there. Pretty much.
August 17, 20179 yr That's not what I'm saying. Pippen was great. I just don't buy that he's right behind Michael on the greatness scale. Great player? Yes. Top 5 in the decade?? No. #1 at his position for most of the decade. It was tough to be a top 5 guy in the 90's. I think Scottie was one of them, ahead of Ewing, Shaq, and Nique, with a discussion to be had about Chuck.

August 18, 20179 yr I think Scottie was one of them, ahead of Ewing, Shaq, and Nique, with a discussion to be had about Chuck. I'm going to struggle to take any of your NBA takes seriously after reading this...No chance was he better than Ewing, Shaq or Barkley.
August 18, 20179 yr You've got to be kidding, right? I'm going to struggle to take any of your NBA takes seriously after reading this...No chance was he better than Ewing, Shaq or Barkley. Just looked at Shaq's numbers. That was a silly statement. As for Ewing, if you prefer him to Pippen, I'm going to struggle to take any of your NBA takes seriously.
August 18, 20179 yr I'm going to struggle to take any of your NBA takes seriously after reading this...No chance was he better than Ewing, Shaq or Barkley. I agree. And many forget how freakish Dominique was because he was in purgatory and didn't win much, but that dude was no slouch. His best days were later 80s and just into the turn of the 90s, so I am fine putting him behind for the all decade team.
August 23, 20179 yr Neither of those teams would have much scoring from the outside. They would be impossible to stop inside the arc though. With the Warriors great floor spacing, passing, pick n rolls, unselfishness, and great shooting. I do think the Warriors could steal a game or two in a 7 game series against both teams if they are on fire from 3 point land. Both of those teams would win a 7 game series though.
