<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Pacers fan forever @ Jul 19 2007, 03:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Are you telling me that Pippen wouldn't demand shots? Pippen would demand more shots than Bird would, Bird would only demand shots if he felt it was necessary in order to win. Otherwise Bird is happy contributing any way in order to get the W. And Bird was very versatile, there was nothing he couldn't do except maybe jump 40 inches</div>Pippen might not demand shots when MJ is on the floor, but your right, Bird is better in this situation than Pippen.

Because Bird won't be taking as many shots as he should, I would like to put a duo that excelled into the lineup.
I think that within 3 games if Bird and Jordan were on the same team, they would mesh just as well as Pippen and MJ.
