Anyone else here think Pippen was just average?
Lets compare.
Minutes: Jordan 41005 - Pippen 41076 [same]
2 pt Shot attempts: Jordan 24537 - Pippen 15700
3pt Shot attempts: Jordan 1778 - Pippen 3002
FG%: Jordan 49.7 - Pippen 47.3% [Slight edge to Jordan]
3FG%: Jordan 32.7 - Pippen 32.6% [All Even]
Points: Jordan 32292 - Pippen 18940 [Jordan obviously]
Balanced points based on both players taking the same number of shots and making at the same career percentage in 2pt and 3pt.
Jordan 32292 + 1200 (to catch up to Pippen's 3pt attempts) = 33492
Pippen 18940 + 8369 (to catch up to Jordan's 2pt attempts) = 27309
Only a difference of 6183 pts instead of 13352
FT%: Jordan 83.5 - Pippen 70.4% [OK, Jordan has him pretty good here]
Rebounds: Jordan 6672 - Pippen 7494 [822 in Pippen's favor]
Assists: Jordan 5633 - Pippen 6135 [502 in Pippen's favor]
Blocks: Jordan 893 - Pippen 947 [54 in Pippen's favor]
Steals: Jordan 2514 - Pippen 2307 [207 in Jordan's favor]
Turnovers: Jordan 2924 - Pippen 3257 [333 in Jordan's Favor]
Championship Rings: Jordan 6 - Pippen 6
And the winner is.......
JORDAN OF COURSE!!!
But Pippen was not an average player. I mean he was voted into the top 50 players of all time. But I guess all those guys are just average too except for Jordan.
(OK, I was a little bored and had some time to figure this all out)
