overall we would take Pippen obviously, but let's choose the best in his best season, which was better?

Whoo.

Really, really, really tough. One leans more towards D, one towards O.

On balance, I'd say that Hill at his best was better than Pippen at his best, but it's damn close. Depends on whether or not you need a lead scorer, I guess. If you do, Hill. If not, Pippen, but either can actually do the other role too.

Id like to see what a prime grant could do with the team pippen had in 1994, with a rookie toni kukoc as your second option.

If you watched them play head to head you would see it realy is no contest. Of course if you watch MJ and Hill play head to head you might think Hill was better to.

If it wasn't for his injury I'd would expect this would be a runaway for Hill. Hill's peak was nearer Jordan then Pippen.

^^^Agreed. Hill was supposed to be Jordan V2, and he was living up to his hype. If not for his injury, he'd be a legend.
