I remember this debate back in the day.... I personally feel Nique was better... What do y'all think?
Lets revisit an old NBA Debate.... Dominique Wilkins or Scottie Pippen... Who was better?
- Thread starter vandamation
- Start date
Yeah well, Pippen had MJ on his team. Without MJ.....never would have made it to playoffs! 'Nique was the better player who had more impact on his team.
Dominique for scoring
Pippen for defense
Pippen for defense
lol Pippen was damn near MVP and the number 1seed without MJ
give me Pippen he was a way better defender

Agreed
I think Pippen would have been an elite scorer if he was allowed to score
Pippen was one of my favorite players to watch, but if I had to pick one to build a team around, it would be Nique. Pippen showed his lack of leadership in that Knicks playoff game. Pip was a great #2 playing alongside the goat, but not a go-to type of player.
EASILY and I mean EASILY Dominique Wilkins.
to even say pippen was a better shooter than nique almost would get you bench from this convo... I'm a bulls fan and can tell you pippen had shaky series when it came to scoring or had some reg games where you were like pip just pass the ball... You never felt shaky with nique on offense.. Defensively you might be like hey you gotta do better but definitely not on offense
Did you forget about the 93-94 season? Pippen was a top three player that season. Only the Dream and the Admiral were better that season.
Dominique if I had to pick between the two to start a team.
‘People tend to forget how good ‘Nique truly was.
94-95 he was trash until MJ cameback lol
Dominique everyday of the week is a better player. Nobody put clamps on prime Nique ever. He should of been on the Dream team wanna say that was the year he ruptured his achilles tendon.
Anyway yea he got chips with Mike but player for player Pip ain't in Nique class.

I give the edge to Nique on scoring, but passing, ball handling, and D goes to Scotty.
I'd take the guy who can jump offa 1 foot for the win

dude Grant hill was better than pippen.. As a bull fan I can say Grant hill use to shake pippen out the gym.. Stat wise he was better to
Some people don't realize Dominique was cursed by being in the same era as celtics, badboys, bulls... His team was bound to not go far in the playoffs no matter what yr he was in due to those 3 franchises.. It's why his name isn't bigger
Agreed but what about Pippen vs t Mac?
I don’t remember Nique having a jump shot.
I don't remember his J that well, either, but in those days, remember, the ability to take your man off the dribble was how you were judged.
people don't remember tmac almost average 2 blocks a game 1 yr when he was on the raptors... Offensively t-mac is gifted as fuck... Defensively if you consider most yrs it was pippen... But personally I'm choosing t-mac cause he gonna put more asses in them seats and sell more jerseys
Dennis Rodman once held Nique to 9 pts. back when the Bad Boy Pistons were terrorizing the EC. The Pistons used the give Nique's Hawks the business.
The Bulls were still going to make the playoffs even if Jordan did not come back late in 95.
Would love to have seen D. Wilkins on a championship caliber team and what he'd do in big spots. He has the misfortune of playing when he did.
Going by just what I remember, I'm going with Scottie...for the overall game. ...but one game, and I need somebody to put up big points.....DW.

He was the human highlight reel his dunks were promoted not his entire game.
Rodman did not shut down Nique by his self you buggin. That's a whole lie, them Pistons teams were some of the best defensively ever. Crisp rotations and swarming double teams shut Nique down not just Rodman . Nique was running with Randy Witman and Jon Konkac.
I stand corrected.
