Huh? Those Lakers teams don't beat Sacramento without Robert Horry hitting big shots. Pippen was an amazing defender but only good as an offensive player. Kobe and Shaq were dominating offensive and defensive forces. Then Bynum/Gasol? C'mon. Kobe wins titles with those Bulls teams maybe. Maybe not. The game evolved. Longley, Wennington, Cartwright don't exactly demand respect.
Wait .... you are seriously comparing Robert Horry to Scottie Pippen? Really? The year Jordan retired Pippen led the Bulls in practically every category and if not for a blown Tim Donaghey call would have been headed back to the Finals. Scottie Pippen couldn't handle the pressure that is sure, but Horry is a spot up shooter, (a great one at that) but he is no Pippen. This is coming from a die-hard Lakers fan.
