Damn it. I wanted Pippen.
Ditto. He wouldn't have gotten past me if he were still on the board for my next pick.
All right PKM. Now it's your turn.
Damn it. I wanted Pippen.
I thought he would fall & already wrote my draft tribute:
With the 48th pick in Jazzfanz ALL-TIME Fantasy Draft, the franklin flopmonsters select the second best number one of all time. He played in a shadow & shadowed everyone he guarded, earning a spot on the NBA All Defensive First Team for 8 straight years. One of the greatest in game dunkers of all time, a posterizing machine, the most underrated player ever, the true leader of 7 championships, a creative passer, he could finish at the rim after contact, he is Scottie Pippen.

Scottie led a Jordan-less Bulls team to 55 wins by averaging 22 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.9 steals, & finished 3rd in MVP voting that season & was the All Star MVP. His team lost the semi-finals 4-3 to a tough New York Knicks team.
Damn it. I wanted Pippen.
Great minds, guys, great minds think alike.

Dwayne Wade 5.1 assists a game.
Jordan 22 shots a game
Wade 17 shots a game.
My point wasn't that Jordan was somehow bad. I was just responding to the notion that Wade would kill chemistry because he is ball dominate. I would have picked Jordan too.
I think everyone's been preoccupied with filling the 5 & guarding those who already did.
My team's screwed so I might take her.

Nice pick in Pippen
Here's a fun fact about him
The most infamous episode of Pippen's career came in his first year without Jordan. In the 1994 NBA Playoffs, the Eastern Conference Semifinals pitted the Bulls against the New York Knicks, whom the Bulls had dispatched en route to a championship each of the previous three seasons. On May 13, 1994, down 2–0 in the series in Game 3, Bulls coach Phil Jackson needed a big play from his team to have any chance of going on to the conference finals. With 1.8 seconds left and the score tied at 102, Jackson designed the last play for rookie Toni Kukoc, with Pippen instructed to inbound the basketball. Pippen, who had been the Bulls' leader all season long in Jordan's absence, was so angered by Jackson's decision to not let him take the potential game-winner that he refused to leave the bench and re-enter the game when the timeout was over.[citation needed]
Although Kukoc did hit the game-winner, a 23-foot fadeaway jumper at the buzzer, there was little celebrating to be done by the Bulls, as television cameras caught an unsmiling Phil Jackson storming off the court.[8] "Scottie asked out of the play", Jackson told reporters moments later in the post-game interview.[9]
I'm just messing around. I like Pippen. He was a bad *** dude.
