Or feel free to imagine winning 3 in a row with your “second best player” averaging 17.6 points on 40% shooting during a three year playoff run. Who had more help again?
Guess I don’t have to imagine. imagine having 6 finals losses with ALL that help. Couldn’t be me.

Is that gif a carry?
Today’s NBA you gotta force your way to play with possibly the best PF of all time to have a shot at a chip. #MoreHelp
well that’s an unfair statement
DeRozan is a starter on a team that almost made the playoffs
So Jordan would start for a 9th seeded Spurs team of he played today
That’s not bad tbh
MJ the 2nd best player to ever play in the NBA (Kareem was better although not given the rightful acclaim) would dominate todays soft NBA. Conversely, LaRoid would struggle in past eras and crazy as a fox Rodman would have neutralized him defensively any series.
Rodman one of the best defenders ever would have tormented James period.
2 x DVP
In 90-91 He played such strong defense that the NBA stated he "could shut down any opposing player, from point guard to center."

I say an ESPN broadast that also said he was the greatest all positional defender in NBA history.
More importantly he unlike most soft NBA players today he would not have backed down in any regard to James.
Sadly when he was on SAS he was a headcase because he could have really helped the Spurs at that time.
Didn’t Kawhi hold that to like 34 percent shooting in 2014? we know them s Deshawn and Shawn Marion held him to 8 points in a finals game
Gotdayum. Scottie’s finals stats during that second three peat
17.1PPG
38% from the floor
28 % from 3
Scottie Bricken
lol rockets suck so bad you can't stop resorting to this schtick
Looks bad for Bronsexual fans. All those great supporting casts, yet all those losses. Very tragic.
Kawhi is a much better defender than Rodman tbh...
Pippen vs other teams second options:
1991 Finals: Pippen 20.8 pts and 6.6 ast 0.453 fg% James Worthy 19.3 pts and 2.0 ast 0.479 fg%. I'm not even talking about defense
1992 Finals: Pippen 20.8 pts and 7.7 ast 0.484 fg% Terry Porter 16.2 pts and 4.7 ast 0.471 fg% I'm not even talking about defense
1993 Finals: Pippen 21.2 pts and 7.7 ast 0.439 fg% Kevin Johnson 17.2 pts and 6.5 ast 0.421 fg% I'm not even talking about defense
1996 Finals: Pippen 15.7 pts and 5.3 ast 0.343 fg% Gary Payton 18.0 pts and 7.0 ast 0.444 fg%
1997 Finals: Pippen 20.0 pts and 3.5 ast 0.421 fg% John Stockton 15.0 pts and 8.0 ast 0.500 fg% I'm not even talking about defense
1998 Finals: Pippen 15.7 pts and 4.8 ast 0.410 fg% John Stockton 9.7 pts and 8.7 ast 0.490 fg% I'm not even talking about defense
1996 Payton outplayed Pippen, I'll be generous and say that 1997 was a tie between Scottie and Stockton. Pippen has won other matchups with other teams 2nd options hands down. 4-1-1 in favour of Pippen. Not only that but he also had all-d level 3rd options in Grant and Rodman, great coach, great bench and even great assistant coach (Tex Winter). His teams were stacked period.

You simply do not know basketball history. Rodman when inspired for several years was superior even then Leonard - who is very good.
Stacked with what? Not all stars
Scottie was not only all-star. He was on all-nba 1st team and all-nba-defensive 1st team. Kukoc 6th man of the year. Grant and Rodman were on all-d team too.
And BJ Armstrong and Horace were all-stars after you left Bulls for baseball. You made them worse.

I am probably older than you and agree to disagree
