Pippen was a baller. The Bulls don't win 6 chips without him. People who consider him to be Jordan's sidekick don't realize that almost every other player would have also been second fiddle to Jordan.

Bulls don't win 6 rings without him, but the Bulls also would have won 6 rings if you give MJ any other 90s all star instead of Pippen.

If you swap Pippen in Chicago with Alonzo Mourning in Charlotte for example. The Bulls probably still win 6 chips and the Pippen-led Hornets never make it out of the first round.
