relates to Pippen - one, while he is a top 50 guy, he's not a top 10 conversation guy (curry and Durant, check). two, good scorer, not great scorer (curry and Durant, check), three, he never won without MJ and MJ didn't join Pippen for the purpose of winning. they figured it out together
as it relates to magic, the only comparison would be Kareem, but Kareem was on the tail end of his career when magic was rising. Magic gets the bulk of the credit, not sharing with Kareem. worthy and those guys aren't considered top 50 guys.
