Bron at 36 won a championship on a team with one other star and a bunch of lower-tier role players but he wouldn't win in the watered down 1990s with Pippen :mjlol:

Pippen, just like AD, was a top 10 player in the league and the Bulls were by far the most stacked team in the league in an era without super-teams. Imagine thinking Bron wouldn't beat teams led by Reggie Miller and Patrick Ewing with that Bulls roster.. Nowadays players like Miller and Ewing are on the same team. They won 60 games when Jordan retired with some dude from Italy replacing Jordan but Bron wouldn't be able to win with them :russ:
Bron doesn't know how to play team ball, thats the issue

So Pippen isn't a GOAT but Wade and Kyrie are? :mjlol:

Either you look foolish with this or you acknowledge neither Jordan or LeBron had a "GOAT" for a teammate.
:mjlol: nikka you look foolish because you can’t read and you coming at me even tho I was defending Bron. Ima break it down for you homie.

I said Jordan pretty much the only GOAT who won more than 2 rings without another GOAT or multiple HOF (2+) teammates.

Bron has 4 rings. 2 of them were with Wade/Bosh, two HoF teammates, so Bron does not have more than 2 rings without multiple HoF teammates. We don’t even need to talk about those ‘20 and ‘16 rings

And it’s not like there’s shame in needing multiple HoF teammates or another GOAT to win more than 2 rings. Everyone else needed that except Jordan

I read through this thread just to see the windmill swinging frustration lol

Sheed's opinion isn't as interesting as this statement...

Bron won't get his proper respect from players until he's gone from the game

It's been going on 20 years....Why would we have to wait for when he retires for people en masse to show him the respect a player of his stature deserves? Why can't the same media hype machine that Jordan benefited from serve Bron the same way in a society relying so heavily on the spread of information? They were calling the other guy the GOAT like 5-6 seasons in...By the first 3 peat it was the overwhelming consensus. Why can't Bron swing the majority after all he has accomplished in TWENTY YEARS?

I think it boils down to social media and 24/7 sports talking heads nitpicking every little thing.

I think I'd Jordan came up in this Era he'd have way more haters.

There's nothing to break down.

Pippen is a GOAT level SF. Jordan has won with 3 HOFs in his 2nd 3peat and doesn't win without them. Bron has also win with 1 HOF level player in LA, don't bring up 35 year old Dwight when you keep trying to exclude the GOAT rebounder and arguable GOAT defender in Rodman to downplay Jordan's support. On top of the fact nikkas keep ignoring that no 90s team was matching the Bulls talent.

If you're going to use terms know what you're using.

people should have to verify their age on here like I've been saying
lebron or whoever's durability wouldnt be what it was back in the day

comparing Sheed to Lebron because time overlap is dumb ... sheed is a tweener and played more of a modern style
too much time has passed where people didnt watch NBA at certain points and dont realize there's dudes on teams put there to hack and hurt you. You arent being babied by the league and nobody cares if you get hurt

people make it a lebron or MJ or Bean thing etc
but its that way for everyone



cats dont realize or care that the league wasnt as international or widespread sponsor wise. You cant compare shyt that's not even similar at all. Like you cant compare boxing with prototype gloves and no rounds outside in summer. To a 4 million dollar match in madison square garden with 8 months of prep time and sponsors attached. At that point you are talking about completely different things


Lebron would do great of course KD too
but they would be targeted and physically abused. They would need to prove they had heart to deal with all that
Even Giannis loses his cool and fukks people up. Alot of these Superstars now are super passive and dont impose themselves at all.

:mjlol:Stop it bruh, just hold the L and say you ain’t read

Scottie Pippen is not a GOAT level BASKETBALL player. shyt Scottie not even a top 5 SF (Bron, KD, Bird, Dr. J, Baylor). He don’t got an argument. He don’t got the individual accolades, performances, stats, or the peak.

Scottie has no regular season MVPs, never averaged 23 a game, didn’t dominate the league, doesn’t have an argument for being the best player in the league in any given year. If Scottie didn’t play with MJ and win 6 rings we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.

Scottie is a great player and a HOFer. There’s no shame in that.

:mjlol: And here comes the juelzing and Stan war shyt that has nothing to do with anything

"Jordan won without a GOAT"- @Kski
Scottie is a GOAT SF. The top 5 you listed, the last 2 in particular, are not locked in. Regardless of positions Pippen and Wade fall in the same bracket of All-Time ranking for most people. Unless you have Wade in the Top 10 or Top 15 of All-Time, which I doubt, they're relatively equal. If Jordan won without a GOAT, so did LeBron.

Glad to see you realize you can't respond to anything else I said because youre peddling bullshyt.
