MJ and pip all day. Pip in his prime is a top five player in the league.
Jordan/Pippen vs Lebron/McGrady (2 on 2)
- Thread starter WesCrook
- Start date
Knicks Melo barely attacked the basket, you must be talking about Denver Melo. Knicks Melo scored in the triple threat, mid post, C&S, pick and pop, and feasted off transition three pointers and second chance points.
Melo has never been a great post player? I never heard nobody say this. Melo has one of the deadliest post fades I've seen, an up and under, a step through, a drop step. Melo coined bully ball, he's known as a skilled and physical post player. He's a way better offensive player than Pippen as well.
THIS CLIP IS FULL OF MELO CATCHING IT IN THE MID POSTAND ATTACKING THE BASKET
JUST LIKE I SAID.
MELO HAS NEVER BEEN A GREAT POST PLAYER.
HE CAN GET BUCKETS IN THE POST
BUT HE ISNT ELITE AT IT.
HES SHOT UNDER 44% FG FOR HIS CAREER
SINCE LEAVING DENVER.
THAT WOULDNT BE THE CASE
IF BIG BULLY MELO WAS GREAT IN THE POST.
PIP WAS A MONSTER IN THE POST.
DONT KNOW WHY YOU ACT LIKE PIP WASNT SKILLED.
HOW IS BRON MORE SKILLED THAN PIPPEN?
BY BULLDOZING HIS WAY TO THE
RIM?
BRON GOT HANDLES AND A WET JUMP SHOT NOW?
PIP HAD MJ TYPE FOOTWORK IN THE POST.
I ain't even waste my time responding to dude breh. If you think Lebron is a better scorer, sure. The numbers reflect that. If you think he's more skilled then I cant even talk to you. Lebron can't go a game without traveling, has only decent handles for his size and couldn't string together 2 games of reputable post work. nikka footwork is atrocious but he big and fast so I guess he's some technical artist to these nikkas. The funny thing is having the opinion he has is fine, wrong as fukk but fine. But to say it like people don't watch games is hilarious to me. He actually called Lebron a technical player breh. Lol

Gimme MJ/Pip in a close one. Pip a much better defender and MJ the best scorer of the bunch.
I'd rather see Bron and his choice of anybody else vs Jordan and Bill Lambier though.

Well you're wrong...THE ONLY THING BRON HAS ON PIPPEN
IS HIS PATENTED BULLDOZE MOVE.
THATS THE ONLY THING THAT MADE BRON AN ELITE OFFENSIVE PLAYER.
HES NEVER BEEN ONE OF THE MORE SKILLED SCORERS IN THE LEAGUE.
nikkaS WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOTHESLINING HIS ASS BACK IN PIPPENS ERA.
OFFENSIVE PLAYERS ARE ALLOWED TO BE PHYSICAL,
BULLY GUYS, PUSH OFF, ETC
AND THE DEFENSE CANT DO shyt IN THIS ERA.
LeBron has a much wider offensive skillset than Pippen. His scoring isn't all bulldozing he's an extremely efficient finisher through contact and is ambidextrous, he can make tough lay-ups and you not going to discredit the mans strength as simply bulldozing, its part of his skillset and he has made plenty of finesse lay-ups in his career too. LeBron has a better jumper than Pippen, and when he's on from the outside nikkas can't stop him period. He has a lot more moves to get his jumpshot off than Pippen (step back, dribble jab, no dribble through the legs, hesitation pull-up, etc.).
LeBron has hit shots in his career Pippen could only dream of making in games. Go watch the 55 point game against Milwaukee I posted and tell me Pippen is hitting 30-foot threes on the run. Go watch LeBron's game 6 against Detroit in 2007 ECSF and tell me Pippen is hitting those drifting jumpers in the midrange and perimeter shots over double teams. LeBron is a far superior isolation player and can and has gone on scoring streaks Pippen could only dream of.
Pippen doesn't have LeBron's I.Q. on offense or his arsenal of counters and he doesn't have LeBron's shot making ability or range. YOU'RE DRUNK.
Also, LeBron is dusting nikkas in the pre-zone 90's and 80's, stop it. T-Mac and LeBron would be better in Pippen's era.

You're one of those LeBron travels on every play, only finishes at the basket because he's strong ass nikkas, you a dumb ass nikka.

Tf you talking about? There are some post drives in there as well as post spins and drop steps, as well as his post up spin cut that he used to go back door. You also have plenty of post fadeways and possessions in the low post. This is a display of his full post arsenal. Also, Melo's 44% FG is because he is a poor finisher at the rim since leaving Denver and relies too much on the jumpshot.
AND ATTACKING THE BASKET
JUST LIKE I SAID.

I see now you're changing up what constitutes a post up play.
Knicks Melo was one of the leaders in post points and is widely considered one of the leagues elite post players.

Super Bowl Sunday 2004, teenage LeBron showcases more or as much skill as Pippen did in his entire career.
40 points at 19 against an elite defensive Nets team in the dead ball era. Stepback jumpers, clear out isolation plays with the shot clock winding down, Rondo ball fakes, three pointers, finesse left handed finishes, post fadeways, bank shots, effortless weaves through traffic and doubles as we can see he doesn't have Pippen's high dribble and displays a more versatile array of ball handling, a beast in transition with WR speed, steal and game winning lefty lay-up on one-on-one break.
Y'all nikkas really playing.
