Active players who have peaked higher than Scottie Pippen 

Post#1 » by Ambrose » Mon May 9, 2022 9:53 pm

At their peak how many guys in the NBA currently were better than Scottie Pippen ever was?

Off the top of my head I think there are at least ten.

No order between tiers

Sure things:
LeBron
Durant
Paul
Curry
Giannis
Jokic
Embiid
Davis
Kawhi
Harden

Maybe controversial but a definite "yes" for me:
Westbrook

"Yes" for me:
Doncic
Draymond
Howard

I'd say "no" but there's an argument:
George
Butler
Rose

Clear "no" IMO:
Gobert
Lillard
Irving
etc
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

Westbrook over Pippen for peak shouldn’t be controversial at all. I’m not even sure how you’d argue for Pippen, I guess if one thinks very little of Westbrook’s portability or floor raising then maybe.
