Scottie Pippen: "I was LeBron James before LeBron James"

Post by thedangerouskitchen »

...and he's right, just like TDK has been telling you for years.

LeBron is a little bigger version of Scottie Pippen; the only difference is Pip was a much better Defender, while James scores more because the era he plays in caters to / coddles perimeter players / wings (unlike Pip's era, where it was much harder for perimeter / wing guys to score).

Discuss how this makes you feel...
"Today's NBA is soft, the Defense is weak, and the rules 'really' favor the Offense."

"Lebron doesn’t guard for a full game and our game plan was to get him to play defense and he left me open all game."

I don't subscribe to the "harder" era that people keep parroting these days.

Pippen would be an okay player in today's NBA.

this is starting to borderline pathetic now. Chicagoans are in a uproar that Bron overtook Jordan as GOAT, now Pipsqueak wants to be on that same level and pedestal as Bron? No.

The gap between Lebron and Pippen in scoring ability is several times greater than the gap between them on defense.

It's a big, big jump from 20ppg (usually as the second guy) to 28+ ppg on great percentages as the first guy.
Taking a break from the board. Please reference my last post for more details if you are interested.

Scottie is a moron and that's why he's broke and without respect from his peers. LeBron is a future billionaire and the consensus best player in the world.

Is that why Jordan failed to lead his team to a winning record without Pippen, he needed a LeBron James to make his teams better?

Pippen was only pulling in $5 million annually on those Bulls teams compared to Jordan's $32 million. Salaries were different back then compared to now.

So Jordan couldn't win a single Playoff series without a LeBron James as his #2?


That actually hurts Jordan's legacy more than it does LeBron's.

You might call out the OP for stupidity. The posts are almost equally absurd.
