If Jordan didnt have Pippen where do you think he would rank among the all-time greats?

Question

Without Pippen Jordan's team never had a winning season, and was also 1-10 in the playoffs without him, never advancing to the second round of the playoffs, and never made the all nba defensive team without Pippen

Answer 1

Do you make it a habit of being ignorant or are you naturally so?

Jordan got a 52-30 record (in his third season- 2nd if your not counting his rookie year) with a Pippen who averaged 20 minutes a game, never started, and scored 7 points a game.

That would be like saying that Kobe has never had a winning season as the #1 option on a team without Andrew Bynum (even though Bynum two years ago wasn't much of a factor.

I know your not the smartest guy around (otherwise you wouldn't have asked this question), but please, don't dumb everyone else down to your level (as if that was possible) with your absurd inquiries.

Answer 2

Even WITH Pippen he isn't in the Top 10

Hope this helps

MICHAEL JORDAN SUCKS!

Answer 3

He would have still been #1, he will remain #1 for ever. Who the h**l are you to question THE GREAT ONE.

Answer 4

No he wouldn't consider as One of Greatest w/o Pippen

Where was his Will for Winning w/o Pippen?

Answer 5

Kobe Bryant without Shaq?

He would be close to Kwame Brown.

Answer 6

he'd be right there between Kwame Brown and Mark Madsen

Answer 7

Yes. You can say that without Pippen, Jordan may not have retired and bade Jabbar's scoring record good bye for the longest time.

Where was the will? Jordan single-handedly carried Chicago against Boston enroute to 63 points. That despite coming off a career threathening injury.

And mind you for a guard, he averaged 5.3 rebounds, 1.28 blocks, and 2.62 steals even before Pippen. So for detractors claiming Jordan wasn't a great defensive guard before Pippen was non-sense.

Hope this helps.

Answer 8

If Jordan didn't have Pippen, he would still be the best player ever because he would've found someone else to help him win.  Great players bring out the best in their teammates if they can handle it.

Answer 9

still belongs to the elite players.

where would pippen be without MJ?????

Answer 10

he would be one of the best player but not the greatest. Every great player has his side kick. Tim Duncan has Ginobli/PArker. there were shaq/kobe. there was majic/jabar. and bird/mchale.

just look at t-mac or lebron until they get a 2nd guy who is consisent and wont get hurt. they'll get close but never win a championship

Answer 11

i think jordan would've still be great but be on a losing team,, the bulls would've been c**p,, dennis rodman would've gone crazy and beat the living mustache out of phil jackson,, and jordan wouldnt have captured the imagination and admiration of fans world wide,,

wow just realized that pippen was just as important as jordan to the world of basketball!!!
