Because those players were all franchise players at one point or another and had been MVP caliber players at some point in their career, while Pippen was never a franchise player and wasn't really considered for any MVPs...If you take VC or McGrady in their prime, and pin them up against Pippen, clearly, VC and McGrady were the more talented players...Like I said, I just threw together a list really quickly with players who could POSSIBLY be argued as better than Pippen AT THE PEAK OF THEIR CAREER. Pippen, undeniably, has a much better career than more than half the players I listed, but when it comes to pure talent and skill, Pippen can be argued with ALL the players I listed...PeACe

A franchise player, unlike Pippen. Not saying he's had a better career than Pippen, but at his peak, he could have been argued with Pippen, as he was even an MVP candidate one season. Pippen was a great defender, but Michael Cooper was an even better defender, and you don't see him on anyones top 50 list.

When MJ left NBA in 93 Pippen also became Bulls 1st option and he had an MVP season. He lead the Bulls in almost everything and they won together 55 games, only 2 less than the year before with Mike! That was Pip's best season statistic-wise: 22 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block per game while shooting 49% from the field. Show me someone in today's WACK BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION who do numbers like that every single night for his team aside from Lebron, Rondo and maybe Kobe?
You don't see Cooper in a top 50 list because he didn't put out the numbers Pip did! In terms of scoring, rebound, passing etc Coop is far behind Pippen dude - in terms of defense ability, they are prolly in the same lane. Both were great defenders but overall, Pippen shits on Cooper and 90% of people from your joke list! Arenas? Chris Paul? Bosh? Above Pippen?! L O L, you must be trippin' dude! How many rings they got? what are their awards? accomplishments? They good players, but not that good so let's not be ridicolous about it..

LMFAO

Laugh all you want, but Chambers, at the peak of his career, averaged almost 30 points and even won an all-star MVP award...cant say the same for Pippen. Again, for careers, Pippen was better, by a mile. But comparing Pippen in his prime to Chambers in his prime is not something to laugh at...that just makes you look foolish and young (ignorant to the NBA pre-90's).

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL
brand, bosh, wade, lebron, carmelo, are you guys serious??? these guys can hold a candle to pippen's feet
they havent done anything nor have they won (except wade once), nor have they been close, what makes them better than pippen? sure they're main guys on their team but it takes ALOT more than that to be remembered forever....15 years from now, if those guys dont win anything they'll be forgotten like Dick Barnett

yea, i agree with you...careerwise, they aint shit to Pippen. But if we're judging individual talent in prime years, a lot of players have surpassed Pippen...PeACe
