Jason Kidd Claims Luka Doncic Needs a Scottie Pippen to Get Dallas a Championship: “Michael Jordan, When He Was Young, Tried to Beat Detroit Pistons by Himself and Couldn’t Do It”

Chicago Bulls dominated the NBA for a decade during the 90s and won six championships in the process. While many credit Michael Jordan for delivering the championships to Chicago, his teammates such as Scottie Pippen didn’t get enough credits for the same.

Jordan helped the Bulls win two three-peats during the 90s. Scottie Pippen played an equally important role on that Bulls side. The two formed one of the best duos of their era and dominated the NBA.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has recently said that Doncic needs a Pippen by his side to deliver Dallas’ 2nd championship.

Mavs star Luka Doncic is among the best player in the league right now. However, the Mavericks, despite having the 2-time All-Star, have failed to make it past the first round with him.

Jason Kidd says Luka Doncic needs a Pippen just like Michael Jordan

Jason Kidd recently gave his take on Luka Doncic and Dallas Mavericks. He said that even Jordan struggled at first with the Bulls and then quality teammates made it simple.

“You look at Michael Jordan when he was young, tried to beat Detroit Pistons by himself and couldn’t do it,” Kidd said.

“Then he a running mate and made it simple. When the great ones make it easy and simple, it becomes fun. You can see that with Luka.”

Indeed, Pippen played an important role alongside Jordan at the Bulls. Despite not having a great relationship off the court, the two managed to form great chemistry on the court. Luka Doncic is still young; 22, and still has his prime years ahead of him.
