And when it really counted, like the playoffs, Pip averaged more of everything, except points.
I think what everyone is getting confused is “leader” & “best”.
The best player isn’t always the leader.
Leading a team is doing whatever it takes to win.
Telling people where to be when running plays, etc.
I had a old head really point that out to me last year about Pip. No way in hell did he think Pip was a better scorer than Mike, but Pip is his favorite player of all time.
I don’t think Pip is a “better” player than Mike, but I definitely think he’s a better leader.
