Shaq and Kobe are definently one of the best duos in b-ball history IMO but Mike and Scottie has won a lot more then them.

The thing is, Pippen isn't on the level that Kobe, Shaq, and Jordan are...Pippen isn't a top 10 player. To be the best DUO, both players have to be on the same caliber...Jordan was just on another level than Pippen. It was like 75% Jordan 25% Pippen...With Kobe and Shaq, it was always 50/50...That's because they're both 2 of the best players to ever player this game. IMO, Kobe + Shaq > Jordan + Pippen.
Don Jacob:
that's a good point aswell, the jordan pippen partnership was more lopsided. i give pippen all the credit in the world, he was an excellent defender, a clutch shooter, and a good disher, but his sole purpose for being in the NBA was to compliment Jordan's career. we saw what happened when pipp went to houston, then portland, then back to chicago.
h cottie is bac-tive?:
we also saw what happened when Jordan left
Scottie had to lead the Bulls to the playoffs ;)

First, don't forget Shaq and Kobe won 3 rings with the fact they hated each other I mean it had an impact on the court. Their chemistry was good ( only sometimes) at best and far from what it could have been and should have been. Despite that they still dominated and managed to win 3 rings. Plus like Nik said Jordan-Pippen wasn't a "balanced" duo. Don't get me wrong Pip was an amazing player, a monster defender.... but on the offensive end he wasn't on Kobe level plus he was kinda mentally weak in the money time. Kobe and Shaq>>>>> MJ and Pip. Plus about Lebron-Kobe, even without considering rings, Kobe>>>>> Lebron why ? Kobe has the killer instinct and the way he takeovers when the game is on the line>>>>>>>>>>>>> any player in this league
