Rich Paul defends Scottie Pippen

Rich Paul believes Scottie Pippen does not receive enough credit for the Chicago Bulls’ six championships and argued that his impact on those teams was at least as important as Michael Jordan’s.

Speaking on the Bulls dynasty, Paul pointed to Pippen’s overall value and suggested Chicago would not have won its titles without him.

“I think Scottie’s rings are the same as Michael Jordan’s. He was the most impactful player on the team. If you unplug Scottie Pippen off that team, Jordan is 0-6”
