Chicago Bulls: 3 most efficient teammates Michael Jordan ever had
1. Scottie Pippen, Forward
Without a doubt, Pippen is the best and most efficient player that Jordan ever had as a teammate, whether it be with the Wizards or the Bulls. There also isn’t a single teammate that Jordan had in his two years with the Wizards that made the list. Rodman would get the nod as the honorable mention here instead of any player he was teammates with in the nation’s capital.
Krause really struck gold in the 1987 NBA Draft, by adding Pippen and Grant to the Bulls, with both players picked in the top 10. The former product of the Central Arkansas basketball program and the 6-foot-8 and 210 pound Pippen was the fifth overall pick originally of the SuperSonics in the 1987 draft. But he was traded to the Bulls on draft night 1987.
Pippen was a Hall-of-Fame inductee in 2010 after he was a seven-time NBA All-Star selection, six-time NBA Champion, seven-time All-NBA honoree, and 10-time All-Defensive Team selection. He played 11 seasons with the Bulls, pretty much all of which were his most efficient in the NBA. Pippen also spent four seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, and one with the Houston Rockets.
