Michael Jordan, the greatest player in NBA history, finished his career with 6 finals appearances and won all 6 of those finals appearances. What's even more impressive is that none of those finals appearances ended with a game 7. But just how there was a point in time when all Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls were doing was winning championships, there was a also a point in time when the Bulls could not even make the NBA Finals even with MJ. The Bulls needed more help and they sure did get it. In 1987 the Seattle Supersonics drafted Scottie Pippen with the 5th overall pick. The Chicago Bulls drafted a player named Olden Polynice with the 8th overall pick. The two teams agreed to a trade which sent Scottie Pippen to the Bulls and Olden Polynice to the Sonics. From that point on Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen went on to have great careers and one of the greatest duos of all time. Most people say they are the best duo of all time. Others would say the greatest duo ever is Kobe and Shaq, Magic and Kareem, or even Stockton and Malone. They were all tremendous duos but where do they rank in the top 5? Find out below and let me know what you think of my list.
