in reality, mj and pippen are not in the discussion of all time great duos since pippen isn't really a top tier goat .. it's between shaq+kobe and magic+kareem .. all top 10 players

I mean he may have not made the game-winning shot in the 93 Confrence Finals against the Knicks, but it was him that made that block on Charles Smith's shot in the final seconds... and it was Scottie that they used to pressure Mark Jackson up the floor which bottled up Indiana's offense allowing the Bulls to get the jump on the Pacers in 98'. Pippen also got big rebounds, second chance points for the Bulls. And then his knowledge and awareness in the game.And don't forget that year in 94' when Jordan was out, Pippen was #3 in MVP voting and had his team on the doorstep of the Eastern Confrence Finals. They lost in 7 to the Knicks.I know you won't admit this but Kobe does at times check himself out of games. He's not always all in. Neither was Shaq. Phil Jackson once said that one of the key aspects of coaching is making your players aware of what is happening on the floor all at all times. He said Scottie and MJ were the only players he never had to do that with. Go back and watch them play. There is never one moment of any game that they are not 100% locked in and aware of what is happening out on the floor.Those guys knew what it took to win when it was all on the line. That's why they never lost a Finals.
