I mean he wasn't prime Shaq, we can all agree on that.

But even outside of his prime, he was still great that season. He put up 20/10 a night and was a perfect #2 go-to guy at that point in his career. He declined quickly after that season though.


He probably had a lot of fuel to prove he could win without Kobe that year, knowing it'd be his last opportunity

I do remember him declining hard in Miami but forgot about him producing in 06

This is a bad look for both of them. Neither wins without the other. They won six fucking titles together in eight years. There should be nothing but praise for one another. But also acknowledge that it's a team game.

Pretty fucking pathetic to be quite honest.

The numbers, especially the scoring stats and PER would favor Wade of course.

But Pippen was dominant defensively and has better intangibles with twice as many titles.


So yeah, an argument could be made for either.

Pippin was never a #1. Solid #2 but Wade carried Heat multiple times even with LeGM on the team.

Wade was "the guy" one time, and that season he was playing next to an All-Star and 1st team All-NBA Center....

Otherwise, Wade was never "the guy" lol. He got carried by LeBron from there for his other two rings.



Pippen just wasn't an all-time premier scorer, that's why some people overlook him (he just didn't take a lot of shot attempts with Jordan on his team). He was giving the Bulls 20/8/6 on a nightly basis though and was one of the best defenders in NBA history. The one season when Jordan retired saw Pippen have the best season of his career and help the Bulls still win 55 games (just two fewer than the season before with Jordan on the team).
