Yes he was. If the Celtics didn't have Parish, Mchale, and Dennis Johnson, Nique would have been in the finals multiple times. And he beat Jordan twice (got robbed once) in the slam dunk competition. Back when it was a real competition.‘People tend to forget how good ‘Nique truly was.
poll pleaseI remember this debate back in the day.... I personally feel Nique was better... What do y'all think?

The point went over your head.These are the kinda statements which usually keep me outta sports debates...
If the Celts didn't have 60% of their starting lineup? We can only deal with the reality that was.
That's like saying if I was 5" taller I'd have been in the NBA and kicked Jordan's ass.
The point went over your head.
Take my statement of removing three hall of famers from the Celtics, but then substitute Pippen for Dominique and the Hawks still don't make it to the finals. Bird alone would beat them every time.Communication is a 2 way street...kinda like throwing a ball to someone.
If I throw the ball to you 10 ft over your head, should I expect you to catch it?
If there's a problem with someone not getting your message..maybe it ain't the message..maybe you just didn't make yourself clear.
Wanna try again?

I can't make it any clearer for you. Everything I've said has gone way over your head. Do you even know what this thread is about?Mannnn, you can move the goalposts any which way you want, but it's the same thing.
There's no way to tell if what you're saying is true or not.
Actually, I agree that Pip wouldn't make that big of a difference, but there's an expression that says, "That's why you play the game".
Well uhhh he made it to the playoffs and was a bad ref call from the finals without Jordan soooYeah 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.

They wasn't losing regular, but Jordan was having to work alot more than he really wanted to for them to win until scottie comeback. The bulls was in like the 8th before Jordan came out of retirement during the season.If you watched the Last Dance, Jordan told you the year Scottie sat out he was struggling to win. They were LOSING REGULARLY!! He had to get Rodman to stepup and help hold it in the road till Scottie came back. That's out of the GOATs mouth.
Bulls were 5th seed when jordan came backThey wasn't losing regular, but Jordan was having to work alot more than he really wanted to for them to win until scottie comeback. The bulls was in like the 8th before Jordan came out of retirement during the season.
They wasn't no 5th seed when jordan joined the team. They finished the season in the 5th seed.Bulls were 5th seed when jordan came back
Agreed. I stand corrected.You clearly don't know what you're talking about....
I stand corrected. It was 1 season though. Does that make him a better player than Wilkins?Well uhhh he made it to the playoffs and was a bad ref call from the finals without Jordan sooo
Respect to you for that.Agreed. I stand corrected.
TmacPippen easy. Pippen vs T Mac is a better question
Had me wanting a S curl box, as a young boy, Nique was that nigga. Put some Respect on his name.
It's a few better than Dominique nodoubt Scotty Pippen ain't one of them.that 2nd video, nique ate pippen up lol
I can see taking Dominique first, like Jordan, Dominique was who fans paid to see. I really wish Dominique had better teams to play with.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.
did he ever play with another 20 point scorer? all i remember is doc river, moses malone and cliff levingston playing with him lol. and didnt cliff take like the last shot against the celtics in that game 7 of the eastern conference game.I can see taking Dominique first, like Jordan, Dominique was who fans paid to see. I really wish Dominique had better teams to play with.
So I guess Robert Horry is the better than both of them... Right?How many Rings does Wilkins have ? Oh well I think Scotty wins hands down.
Don't forget Draymond Green is better Charles Barkley as well.So I guess Robert Horry is the better than both of them... Right?
No. You want to deny a most certain probability to fit YOUR point of contention. If I said, the 96 bulls would beat a high school basketball team, you'd come in a say "Well, that hasn't really happened so you can't say that". Duh!Your original statement veered into fantasyland.. switching out 3 HOFers. Problem is, that wasn't the reality, was it?
We have to make comparisons of their respective careers based on what happened, not what coulda or shoulda been.
Otherwise you can make up any scenario that fits YOUR point of contention.
