Hoopla

Pippen was a tremendous defensive player, while Stockton was phenomenal at running an offense. And neither player was a slouch on the other end.

Pippen probably had the better peak, but I don't think it is enough of an advantage to overcome Stockton's longevity. It's close, but I'd take Stockton to start a team from scratch.

As for who performed better in their respective roles, I can't pick one or the other.
