01:00If you take Pippen away from that 87-88 draft and he goes somewhere else, it don't matter
01:05where he goes.
01:06I still think in 91, 92, and 93, Jordan gets his three.
01:11And then whenever he comes back, 96, 97, and 98, he still gets his three without Pippen.
01:21And I can prove this because without Jordan, Pippen went to a super team in Houston.
01:29He played with who?
01:31Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, and Clyde Drexler.
01:35How many rings did he get there?
01:40Goose egg.
01:41He goes to Portland.
01:42He plays with Jermaine O'Neal, Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudemire.
01:47And how many did he get there?
01:52Big old goose egg.
01:53He comes back to Chicago.
01:56And granted, that Chicago team wasn't the best.
01:59It had Eddie Curry.
02:00I mean, but it wasn't the best team whatsoever put together.
02:04And how many did he win there?
02:09The only times that you see Jordan failing, period, is a failed attempt with the Washington
02:17Wizards.
02:19The two years he played for them.
02:21And yes, from 85 until 90, he struggled to get out of the first round of the playoffs.
02:31I give you that.
02:32I really give you that.
02:34But it wasn't under Tex's system.
02:38As soon as Tex came in and the system came in and Phil Jackson came in, instantaneous.
02:45The magic started happening.
02:47And it wouldn't have mattered who you put in that small forward position.
02:52Jordan would have been just as successful as he was in 91, 90, 91, 92, and 93.
03:01And he would have been just as successful without Pippen in 96, 97, and 98.
03:08He would have got his six no matter what.
03:11That's all there is to it.
03:12And that's today's hot take of the day with just basketball with Rapid Beaver.
