I fukking hate when Pippen compared him to Magic and himself. Yes, LeBron is a great passer with I.Q. who enjoys the team aspect of the game, but you nikkas were nowhere near LeBron as half court scorers. Y'all couldn't take over games offensively. LeBron has a god damn Scoring Title, 50 point games, one of the best scoring averages regular and postseason, great efficiency. I mean c'mon.

Scottie has been doing that to prop himself up. It's so easy to see through it.

Hold on Pippen I understand but are you saying Magic couldn't take over games offensively. Magic one of the greatest offensive players of all time. I admit Magics not on Brons level as a half court scorer, and old timers can get carried away with their criticism. But Magics taken over games plenty of times.

It's not that he's "pass first" but he is a willing passer who knows how and knows the importance of getting teammates involved.

nikkas just love to make comparisons. It's really about their limited minds more than anything. When they see something new, that they can't fit into one of their predetermined boxes, their brain doesn't know how to react.

People wanna compare every great basketball player to Jordan but LeBron and Jordan's games are very different so there really is no "comparison". You can prefer one over the other but that's it.

Truth is we've never seen anything like LeBron. First off, he's the same size as Karl Malone. Malone was an all time great and no one would question that. But LeBron is infinitely more skilled than his physical counterpart. That should tell you how great this dude is! That we're comparing essentially a PF to the greatest wing of all time should tell you how great this dude is!

Best comparison for LeBron? I'd have to borrow a line from Jigga: If you haven't heard, he's Michael, Magic and Bird all rolled in one. :yeshrug: Plus he'll chase your shyt down and beat it out the gym. :pachaha:


facts

Lebron doesn't even play like Magic. If anything lebron plays more like Bird + Pippen hybrid but w/o the shooting ability and alot more athleticism

This is the breakdown they once did on Lebron on ESPN countdown

Yo honestly the best comparison I ever heard for LeBron, I forget who said it, but they called him a mix between Shaq and Steve Nash. :ohlawd:

The most physically imposing player on the court who can score at will but with true PG skills. That's why when his J is falling he's completely and utterly unstoppable. It's good he doesn't consistently shoot lights out because that just wouldn't be fair. As is, others can at least be discussed in the GOAT conversation. :whew:

Like they say, good thing Marino never won any rings because there would be no more GOAT QB debates.

When he slows down, he can easily become a point guard to add years to his career.

He can go from being the best player to being at least the best point guard in the league lol.

One day he takes too many shots, the next day he's a bytch for passing too much, and the last day Kyrie is clearly the closer... Yall dont see weirdo behavior though..
