I tend to agree in a game I think I take pippen. But in terms of recognizing
someone for what they accomplished in their career it gets interesting. Because you have to reward Pippen for 6 championships and recognize that the Bulls weren't winning them until he got there and they were still very competitive when Jordan retired. But he was always in Michael Jordan's shadow and wasn't ever considered the most valuable player in the league like Barkley was. He didn't score as much as Barkley and he didn't rebound as much as Barkley. So on an all 90s team that looks like this:

Stockton
Jordan
Pippen
Malone
Olajuwon

you do kind of wonder if Barkley deserves a place on there. But its hard to justify when Pippen was a true small forward who won six championships and was an elite defender and decent passer. But you look at Barkleys scoring and rebounding and what he meant to the game and theres an argument for him to be made. But I think i side with Pippen on this list.
