Yea both LeBron and Pippen had/have questionable jumpshots. And Pippen had troubles at the line at one point of his career. I remember him booting the ball into the stands because he missed game tying free throws.

Offensively, LeBron is superior to Pippen in my eyes. Better passer. Can run the "point" just as Pippen did.

This....I look at Lebron as somewhat being a "Pippen on steroids" offensively, and this is not a knock on Scottie's offensive arsenal, but more of a credit to Lebron's offensive prowess. 
However, Lebron is not seeing Pippen defensively. Lebron is a good defender, but Pip locked guys down. I would even go as far as to say Scottie is perhaps the most complete defensive player in the history of the league...Elite defensive awareness, long, athletic, and deceptively strong despite his frame.

jordan couldn't win without him. 
pip IMO was the best 3 in his era. the reason why there is such thing as a point forward.

hurt obv. the Bulls are great on D cause of Thibs, it sure doesn't help having Pippen helping those guys out either

Edit: Random stat, Westbrook's Triple-Double today was the first in a Game 7 since Pip did in the 92 Eastern Semi's vs. my Knicks when he had 17,11,11.

Pippen's defense alone would make him stand out in todays game because it would better then the defensive specialists in this era and he had an offensive game on top of that.
