Re: Tracy McGrady=Scottie Pippen?
When Scottie Pippen played he was both:
1. The best perimeter defender in the game
2. Quite possibly the best passing forward in the game.
There's a difference between being a "point forward" because you have a decent handle, and being a "point forward" because you can run an offense, and Scottie could. T-Mac has obviously proven to be a more potent scoring threat... though Scottie played with the scoring champion (8 in a row?) so its a bit hard to tell where he would have ended up sans-Jordan. Overall, offensively, I think they bring different skill sets so its hard to compare.
Defensively, there is no comparison... and that's not T-Mac's fault... few players are worth mentioning in the same sentence as Scottie Pippen in regards to perimeter defense.
T-Mac is the better scorer, Pippen was the better player.
