Basketball connoisseurs often recognize Scottie Pippen as one of the greatest players of all time. However, somehow, someway, he often seems to be underrated, overlooked, or underappreciated by some people.

翻译：篮球专家通常认为皮蓬是历史最好的球员之一。但是皮蓬却经常被低估，被轻视。

Pippen was the best two-way small forward on earth in his prime. There wouldn't be a Michael Jordan without him, there wouldn't be two three-peats without him, there wouldn't be a dynasty without him. Like him or not, he was nearly as important as MJ on those title runs.

在那个时代，皮蓬是最好的攻防一体小前锋。如果没有皮蓬，乔丹不会赢得两次三连冠，公牛也不会成为王朝。不管你喜不喜欢他，在夺冠期间，他都是和乔丹同等重要的。

And, now that we're fresh off the Dream Team's 28 anniversary, Gilbert Arenas wanted to honor Pippen with yet another hot take, as he recently said no his No Chill Gil podcast that Pippen was actually the MVP of the Dream Team, not Magic, not Jordan:

现在回顾梦一队28周年纪念日，阿里纳斯为了对皮蓬表达尊重，语出惊人：梦一队MVP是皮蓬，不是魔术师，也不是乔丹。

"People didn’t realize on the USA team, he led the team in assists. Wasn’t Magic, Wasn’t John Stockton, it wasn’t the two best point guards in the world. It was Scottie Pippen. You know he was the most valuable because he’s the one that’s getting the ball from out of Jordan’s hand to a Barkley, from Barkley to a Mullin, from Mullin to a David Robinson. So he’s the one that’s making sure all these guys and he sacrificed himself, but he’s the most valuable on the team," Arenas said.

人们没有意识到，皮蓬在梦一队通过组织来领导球队。MVP不是乔丹，不是魔术师，而是皮蓬，是他将球从乔丹手里传到巴克利，从巴克利手里传到穆林，从穆林手里传到大卫罗宾逊。皮蓬确保了每个人的发挥，却牺牲了自己，他才是梦一队最有价值球员。

Gilbert has a valid point here. Pippen was never known for being a selfish player. He put his body on the line, created for others, and quietly did his job better than most of the players from his time.

阿里纳斯提出了一个重大观点。皮蓬从未被称为一个自私的球员。他牺牲自己成全别人，安安静静的做好自己的工作，甚至比当时大多数球员做的都要好。

Obviously, Arenas isn't saying that Pippen was a better player of Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan because he wasn't, but his defense and playmaking clearly made everybody's job easier. Would they have beaten everyone else even without Pippen? Most likely, but we have to give credit where its due.

很明显，阿里纳斯的意思并非说皮蓬是比乔丹和魔术师更好的球员，但是皮蓬的防守和组织的确让队友的工作变的简单。如果没有皮蓬，他们会打败所有人吗？但可以确信的是，我们应该给予皮蓬应有的赞扬。
