James,
    
    Lets get straight to the point.  The teams where very different in the
    Pippenless era VS the Jordanless era.  The Jordanless team had just won a
    championship WITH JORDAN.   The Pippenless team, well they didn't just win a
    championship.  As a matter of fact, if I can remember that far back, they
    were not all that great before Jordan showed up, and were possibly a
    Championship type of team the year before Pippen........

    So, Pippen took a championship team to the playoffs, and Jordan took a awful
    team to the playoffs.... Seems like Jordan without Pippen is much better
    than Pippen without Jordan.
