Let's take it back to the beginning of Scottie's career. Scottie Pippen was entering the NBA Draft in the 1987 season coming off of a senior year at the University of Central Arkansas, a season in which Scottie averaged 23 points 6 points 10 rebounds 4.3 assists on near 60% field goal shooting. He was selected 5th overall in the 1987 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics, and was traded to the Chicago Bulls for Olden Polynice and future draft pick options. On a quick side note, the SuperSonics really blew it with this trade, because on their roster, they had offensive minded all-stars like Tom Chambers, Dale Ellis and Xavier McDaniel who were all in their mid tolate 20s. Adding a defensive anchor like Scottie Pippen almost certainly would made them perennial contenders in the Western Conference.
Instead Pippen started his career in Chicago with an already established Michael Jordan who was in the middle of a MVP season. Pippen's career actually got off to a slow start and needed to develop his game over time. He only played 20 minutes per game in his first year and didn't start a single game for the Bulls averaging only 7.9 points 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Regardless of the slow start the coaching staff and Pippen spears still saw great potential in the young small forward. The obsessively competitive Michael Jordan specifically matched up with Scottie during most of the Bulls practices. Throughout the years many have credited Pippen and strong development both offensively and defensively to Jordan pushing him in those early years of Bulls practices. The maturation was slowly starting to show.
In his second season, Scottie started 56 games on 33 minutes per game while increasing his averages to 14.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game on 47.6% shooting. With Scottie's help, Jordan and the Bulls reached the 1989 Eastern semifinals for the first time in over a decade for the franchise.
Unfortunately Jordan and Pippen were not ready to thrown the star-studded Pistons and were eliminated 4 games to 2.
