Massive double standard identified on FS1
KAT was completely DESTROYED by Broussard and Nick Wright for scoring less than 18 in half the playoff games thus far, except Pippen averaged less than 18 for
entire title runs with worst-ever shooting splits for a playoff run of 15 games and 35 MPG (96' and 98').. (the clip where Nick Wright destroys KAT over 18 points is
here).
In addition to averaging under 18 on 41% for the entire 96-98' Playoffs, Pippen had less than 18 points in half the games of the is 92' and 93' title runs.. Small forwards like X-Man, Dominique, Schrempf, and Juwan Howard destroyed Pippen, while KAT was credited with winning Game 7 against Denver and making Jokic work harder than normal.
So can you see how Pippen is praised because MJ dragged his weak production to titles, while KAT plays better than Pippen but is destroyed for it because Ant can't drag it to titles??... Pippen never played above a peak Iguodala or Larry Nance level, but the winning spotlight inflated him to all-time status and media accolade.. Ultimately, since no one benefitted from the winning spotlight more than Pippen, he's the most overrated player of all-time..
Cowherd says that Ant "just needs his Pippen", but he already has his Pippen because the "pippen" is the weak sidekick production that must be dragged to titles.. See Kobe, Curry or MJ for successful examples of this.
