You know what, I wouldn't say that it was only Jordan and Pippen for Da Bulls. In 91-83 they had Horace Grant inside and BJ Armstrong and John Paxson as excellent perimeter shooters (remember that this was when Jordan used to drive inside nearly all the time). Then for their second three-peat they had Toni Kukoc in there as well.

Don't forget for their second three-peat they had a wild rebounder named Rodman. Between Jordan and Jackson, they kept him under control enough to get them last three rings. What a lot of people don't realize is that Jordan drew double teams and then dished off a lot of game winning shots.

Paxson, Wennington, and Kerr just to name a few off the top of my head. Jordan had enough confidence in his role players to do that. Kerr missed the game winner against Utah and what does Jordan do the next game. Draw a double team and give Kerr the shot at redemption, which he promptly hit. Pippen was definitely the jack-of-all-trades for the Bulls.
