Scottie Pippen was a great trapping and passing lane defender, but he could be posted up and taken to school. Dominique Wilkins consistently lit Pippen up on the box, and Jamal Mashburn once ran up 52 on Pippen basically taking him down low.

Pippen also did have some objection to being the second fiddle to Michael Jordan, until Jordan retired the first time. Pippen couldn't quite handle the overwhelming aspects of being the No. 1 man on a team so became more comfortable being the No. 2 man getting all the reputation of a pseudo-No. 1 man.
