Pippen didn't make the playoffs...he was a member of teams that made the playoffs. You might as well sing the praises of Derrick Fisher if that's your criteria. As for the Blazers, they were a 1st place team in the Pacific the year prior to Pippen joining them and then finished 2nd, 4th, 3rd and 3rd after. The "revitalization" of that team was the primarily due to the presence of Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith and Stoudamire. Pippen was never more than the 3rd best player on those teams and was even surpassed by Bonzi Wells in the latter seasons.
Gotta respect to some degree all the unpaid labor you get to further advance Jordan's interests, that being the preservation of his image as the "GOAT" so new generations keep shooting each other to buy the latest Jordans and so generally all the sweet non-partisan royalty income keeps coming in.
TM and others mentioned several times that Jordan brought six titles here and you said nothing. Then when I make a similar claim about Pippen's role in his
extensive non-Jordan playoff history and now you wanna bring your reading glasses out, stroke your beard ever so gently and micro-analyze his contributions to those teams. Yet you fail to bring that same analysis to the board's claims (which also mimic jordan's own narrative) that Jordan single-handedly with no help whatsoever brought "six championships to Chicago." This is the essence of the No Bull tour - that Jordan's narrative is full of crap - but thanks to all the unpaid labor you all are doing on Jordan's behalf he can be sure that this narrative remains alive and well in Chicago. I guess democrats get brainwashed, too.
