He may have helped drive some teammates out of the league, but he gave the young, gifted, hungry Pippen a rare daily clinic. The equation was always simple: if Pippen could guard Michael, then he could guard anyone in the league. It was in the end the combination of these two players that was so lethal on defense, of Jordan with the player who, he said, was like having a twin...
