More NBA 2K13 Player Ratings Revealed - Pippen, Love, Davis, Ellis, Waiters and Iggy

[MarvinOida]

What's Brian Scalabrines rating? I'm expecting at least a 56 and as high as 99, and they have to correct his stroke to look similar to Ray Allen's.

monta is a savage.

Ratings are fine

they dont rate this players on stats , they rate them on what they can do and how well they can do each specific attribute ,

Pippen was the defensive specialist so that Jordan didn't have to expend all his energy guarding the other teams best player...this is Phil's strategy and pippen has admitted this himself...what don't you understand? The same reason why Iggy was picked up for the Olympic team...he's didn't need the scoring load and he was picked up for his defense mainly. You're acting like I'm saying pippen is a garbage player...he's not..he's great...he's a top 50 player...sure...but that doesn't mean he should be a 92...he's not at the top of that 50 players list and those 50 players are not worthy of 95+ in overall rating either...quit bringing that up as if that explains why he is a 92.

You obviously glossed over my reply.

You implied that playing with Jordan was the reason his assist stats were what they were.

Over his career, Pippen played 7 seasons without Jordan:
1. 93-94 after Jordan's retirement: APG - 5.6
2. 98-99 traded to Rockets: APG - 5.9
3. 99-00 traded to Portland: APG - 5.0
4. 00-01 Portland: APG - 4.6
5. 01-02 Portland: APG - 5.9
6. 02-03 Portland: APG - 4.5
7. 03-04 Chicago: APG - 2.2 (injured most of the season, retired after)

Broken down further:
APG with Jordan: 5.3
APG w/o Jordan: 4.8
Career APG - 5.2

So, with or without Jordan on his team, he managed to average right around 5 APG. Sure, having Jordan definitely doesn't hurt, but you act like that's the only person he passed the ball to.

Want to talk about defense? Jordan relieved the offensive pressure, so it allowed him to save energy and be a better defender?

Pippen averaged around 2 SPG in his first 6 seasons with Mike, not bad. However, he averaged a career high 2.9 SPG the first season after MJ's retirement, when he also took on the role as the team's number one scorer. But wait, that can't be. As you clearly stated, Pippen was only a good defender because Jordan had the scoring load, so there is no way he could have taken over the role of lead scorer and achieve a career high in SPG, right?

Also, he had the same SPG average during the season Mike came back toward the end. Even as he got older (Portland years), he managed to consistently average 1.5 SPG. Not too shabby for a player that was definitely past his prime by then.

You make it seem like Pippen would not have been the player he was without Mike, yet you seem to ignore that it goes both ways. Neither was a champion without the other.
