It always amazes me that people overlook the fact that we actually got to see what Pippen could do without Jordan for a full year. If you want to go by the numbers he was actually better without Jordan then with him.

Ok, first of all, there's no "n".
Second, I'm not one of these people that claim Jordan gave him his entire career. He wasn't a spare. I sad he still would have been a perennial all star, some years even a great player.
But, there is a huge difference between that, and one of the 50 greatest players of all time. That's all I'm saying.
