Myth: Pippen was one of the greatest players of his eraBy greatest of his era, I mean one of the five or six best to play the game at that time, the problem is that the basketball hall of fame has low standards and lets in more players than deserved. I believe hall of fame should be only for the five or six greatest players per era, with a few exceptions, not replica Baume & Mercier 8440 Ladie's watch letting in every player who was simply great or really good.While Pippen was a great player, he certainly wasn’t in the top five or six players to play in the early to mid 90s. Pippen prime lasted from the 90 91 season to the 96 97 season, in that span Pippen averaged 20 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, those are impressive numbers but not top five or six during his era.

Unfortunately for Scottie Pippen the era he played in was one of the NBA’s greatest, he’s definitely not one of the greatest of that era by my standards.To list a few that were certainly better than Pippen, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, and Hakeem Olajuwon, not to mention Michael Jordan. Those six are considered to be among the top 25 players to ever play the game.Then there’s the second tier of hall replica Baume & Mercier 8464 Ladie's watch of famers, one that includes John Stockton, Reggie Miller, and Pippen. Stockton was inducted to the hall of fame last year, and is the all time leader in assists, and steals, undoubtedly a hall of famer. I believe Reggie Miller should go in on the first ballot, just like Pippen did.

Pippen was a top 10 player of his era, but not in that upper tier of five or six guys, therefore not one of greatest players of his era, but a great player who played in one of basketballs best times.The bottom lineScottie Pippen was a great player, he had a great career, but the bottom line is Scottie Pippen wouldn’t be celebrated the way he is today had he not played with Michael Jordan. Pippen came to the league in a perfect replica Baume & Mercier 8592 Men's watch situation, had he been asked to carry a team on his back his whole career, Pippen would be ring less. We saw it when Jordan left basketball, Pippen was asked to carry the team, and he knew he couldn’t do it.I’m not saying Pippen isn’t a hall of famer, but he wasn’t a top 50 player, he wasn’t one of the greatest of his era, he wasn’t a clutch player, he was a product of the great Michael Jordan.
