How does Pippen compare to today's best?

After seeing his new statue, I've begun to compare him to our modern players. As of now with all things considered--especially defense--was Pippen a greater player than.....

lebron

    he is a better defensive player than Kobe, but not wade and Lebron, wade lead the league among blocks for Guards with 87 and he once had over a 100 blocks , where Lebron had the most steals for small forward and Lebron still get as much rebounds as Pippen . Kobe never had more than 67 blocks in a season.

    Many people still say he was better/more complete than LeBron at the SF position. I'm assuming Kobe has already surpassed him "greatness-wise" I agree with that.

    Pippen was better than all those guys defensively.

    Offensively they are all better.

    Overall, you have to give the edge to those guys because they can carry a team offensively.

    more like artest but he was more athletic. he's not your typical go-to-guy who piles in points, he's more of a complimentary player. but he's one of the best perimeter defenders of all time. better than kobe or artest
