Via Chris Mannix of SI.com:

"The Lakers have a chance," Scottie Pippen said. "They have the luxury of a young center like [Andrew] Bynum, a young power like [Pau] Gasol and even Josh Powell is a guy who deserves minutes. They have a lot of depth. If anybody can challenge [the record], it's them."
Before I blast the most overrated player in the history of the NBA, I should point out that I don't know what type of question lead to this response. Did Mannix say "Can the Lakers challenge your Bulls record? or did he say "Can any team challenge your Bulls record?" There's a difference. But for the sake of this blog, I'm going to assume it was the latter.

If you are going to cite depth, than you gotta mention the Celtics. And if you are going to cite the Lakers depth, naming Josh Powell won't help your argument. Andrew Bynum? He's the first name out of Pippen's mouth? I have more health concerns about his knees than I do with KG.

It's really just Pippen showing his ignorance about basketball. What can you expect from a guy who refused to take the floor at the end of a playoff game because he was asked to pass and not shoot?
