Finally, Jordan and Pippen. It is hard to describe a man who many initially believed was a mere sidekick to Michael Jordan. However, like Jerry, Tonto, Dr. Watson, Robin, Pepper, and Chewbacca, Scottie Pippen also established a name for himself in the game of basketball. Most of his career unfurled in the shadow of Jordan and people fail to realize that without Pippen, Chicago may have never created the winning Bulls dynasty. People often overlook that Pippen was the leading man that brought a championship to Michael Jordan as much as Jordan brought a title to Chicago.Pippen once said, “Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team.” He not only came to grips with his role but he also embraced it, quietly racking up impressive statistics while unselfishly giving his teammates the spotlight. Never has a player shined so brightly without having the light on him. The six-time NBA champion and all-time leader in steals and assists among forwards is one of the most versatile players in history.Although Scottie Pippen has revolutionized what it means to be an all-around player, he was often overshadowed by Jordan, who is widely regarded as the best player in the history of the game. It was not until Pippen was charged with guarding Magic Johnson in the 1991 NBA Finals that everyone began to take notice and see Pippen in his own light.Did you enjoy this excerpt?
