Steve Kerr once said that Scottie Pippen was the second-best player in the NBA when he played alongside Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls. I’m not convinced Scottie was that good, but I believe Jordan wouldn’t have won championships without Pippen. As great as Jordan was, he had numerous things working in his favor. One of them was Dennis Rodman as he aged and needed Rodman’s fitness on the court, and the other main one was Pippen always being there. 1/1/2025

Notes:

  • Scottie Pippen’s height with shoes is typically listed as 6 feet 8 inches (203 cm) even though his measurement without shoes is also 6 feet 8 inches. This contradiction is said to be caused by Pippen’s measurements being taken before the NBA was strict on them, meaning he is probably 6 feet 8 inches in shoes.
  • Scottie Pippen’s playing weight during his NBA career was listed as 228 pounds (103 kg).
  • Similar players to Scottie Pippen include Tracy McGrady, Paul George, and Andrew Wiggins.
