Who's better, Scottie Pippen in his prime or Tayshaun Prince?

Question

I think these guys are alot alike. They both are long armed great defensive players that could be an offensive threat at times.

Answer 1

i say tayshaun , because is alittle more mobile and is from the university of kentucky

Answer 2

they' ve said tayshaun is a 'scottie pippen type' meaning he plays the game (or parts of the game) in a similar manner as scottie. that said said scottie is a better all around player.

as good a defender as prince is, scottie was lock down guy. i'd say scottie was a better defender, but tayshaun blocks shots from behind better.

ballhandling? pippen for sure...he handled the ball as much if not more than jordan hence the term point forward.

offense? pippen is a better offensive player...a slasher who could take it to the hole. shooting...well that really wasnt both of these guys' forte offensively but pippen had a reliable bank shot he used consistantly.

my pick is pippen...by a good margin

Answer 3

Yeah, and that's where the similarity ends.

Did you ever actually see Scottie Pippen play in his prime? Doesn't sound like it. If you had, you wouldn't be asking this question.

Scottie was a top 50 player...there are HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of players in NBA history who are better than Prince...Scottie could put the ball on the floor and go the length of the floor with either hand...Tayshaun can't... oh, why go on with this?

This question is just stupid.

Answer 4

Plain and simple, Scottie was named one of the 50 greatest players of all-time!!! Tayshaun isnt even in his league!!!! Scottie took the Bulls to the conference finals those 2 years Jordan retired!! Scottie can do waaayyy more than what Tayshaun can do. Dont get me wrong, Tayhsaun is good and fits well with the Pistons, but he could never be a sidekick to an all-time great like scottie was for MJ.

Answer 5

i think that Scottie Pippen became extra desirable in his top. He became not basically a experienced shooter, yet an surprising playmaker besides. regardless of MJ on the group, he nevertheless produced factors and assists worth of all-action picture star status. even nevertheless Lebron James is an surprising participant for his era, we could evaluate that Scottie Pippen's top became in the ninety's. additionally evaluate that Lebron James weighs so lots extra that the different small forward EVER at 250 lbs. Even Dwight Howard, between the main appropriate centers in the interest at present, basically weighs 265 lbs! i'm not making exciting of him, yet his weight and power are unquestionably reward at his place. He has an prolonged thank you to circulate in his shooting. He shoots too many threes, while he's not open, and he's not a good 3-factor shooters. even nevertheless he his not surrounded via lots expertise, he tries to do too lots, jointly as he could get his teammates extra in touch. Lebron James has long highway to take until now he can replace right into a legend like Scottie Pippen.

Answer 6

I am a true blue Wildcat...but come on??? Are you serious??? Pippen hands down!!!

You think Tayshaun will make the all time top 100 NBA team??? Pippen made the all time top 50 NBA team for a reason. Pippen was a stud...he just happened to play along side some guy named Michael Jeffrey Jordan...whoever that is.

Answer 7

I love tayshaun like a Brother but come on. Tayshaun trips over his clumsy legs twice a game. He hits 3s well but can't dribble, or shoot consistantly.

Pippen was awesome in prime. could dribble, and never tripped out of clumsiness.

Answer 8

Pippen was more well-rounded. Prince is a very good defender, but not a quality shooter.

Answer 9

Scottie. Im not saying anymore than that

Answer 10

Scottie, hes quicker and stronger and a better defender,
