Historical status! Xiaoka suppresses Pippen in all aspects.

Although Kawaii Leonard and Pippen (Scotty Pippen) are both historical strikers and are often compared, there are significant differences in their technical characteristics, role positioning and career trajectory. The following is a comprehensive comparison analysis:

1. Defensive attributes: The styles are similar but the times are obvious. Similarity:

Both of them are known for their all-round defense, and are good at single defense, assisted defense and steals. Pippen was selected for the best defensive team 10 times in his career (8 defenses) while Kat was selected for 7 times (3 defenses) and was selected for DPOY twice (Best Defensive Player).

In terms of defensive data, Pippen averaged 1.9 steals + 0.8 blocks per game, while Xiaoka averaged 1.8 steals + 0.7 blocks per game, with close efficiency.

Difference:

Pippen's defense relies more on athleticism and durability. He maintained top defensive performance for ten consecutive years in high-intensity confrontations in the 1990s, and assumed the heavy responsibility of defending the opponent's core (such as limiting the magician).

The advantage of the small card is the "death-wrapped" type of oppressive defense. With the **2.21-meter wingspan and giant palms (11.25 inches in width), it has a coverage area advantage, but due to injuries and modern basketball rules (body whistle), the defense is not as continuous as Pippen.

2. Offensive ability: Xiaoka is better at attacking, Pippen focuses on organizing

Xiaoka is stronger in his scoring ability, averaged 18.8 points per game in his career, and shot 38.2% from three-pointers. He is good at mid-range singles and key goals (such as many finals in the 2019 playoffs).

- As the team's first offensive core, he led the team to win the championship (Rapgers, Spurs) twice as FMVP, proving his finishing ability.

Pippen:

has more outstanding organizational capabilities, averaging 5.1 assists per game in his career, which is the actual starting point of the Bulls' offensive system, but its scoring efficiency is low (three-point shooting percentage is only 29.6%).

- He has been the second leader for a long time and has more slew tasks around Jordan. His offensive performance is unstable when leading the team with a single core (such as a 1994 playoff defeat).

3. Technical characteristics and physical talent

Small cards:

Static talent top level (wingspan, big hand), but dynamic talent (speed, bounce) is average; offensive skills are comprehensive, especially good at back-to-body singles and turn-over jump shots.

Pippen:

has better athletic ability (explosion power, transverse speed), strong durability (higher career attendance); the transportation control technology is better than small cards and can act as a front control.

4. Historical status and role positioning

Pippen:

6th championship core member, but never won the FMVP, and often ranked before the small card in history (US media ranked 6th in history and 8th in the small card).

is positioned as "the strongest second-in-command in history", and the team contributes more than personal data.

Small Card:

**Two Championships + Two FMVP**, in 2019, single-core team led the Warriors dynasty and established its "top core" position.

However, injuries affect attendance, and career accumulated honors (such as the number of best teams) are still behind Pippen.

Conclusion: The attributes are partially overlapping, but the essence is different.

Both of them take defense as the cornerstone, but Pippen is an organizational deputy attacker + an all-round defensive engineer, while Xiaoka is an offensive core + a pillar of the defensive system. If we only talk about defense, Pippen's durability and adaptability to the times are better; if we combine the offense and defensive dominance, Xiaoka's key ball ability and single-core team leadership achievements are more outstanding.

Therefore, their attributes intersect on "top front defenders", but there are essential differences in technical characteristics and historical positioning.
