:scust: At all the disrespect toward Pippen.

I remember for a while among my peers...we begun arguing Pippen was better than Jordan. We meant skill wise he could do it all. He just wasn't the alpha Jordan was. His jumpshot was better, he actually had both hands to dribble, and he was bigger and stronger. He was just lacking the heart of Jordan.

LeBron and Pippen are similar in that they should be Robin to a Batman. Though Bron is trying to pretend he's a Batman.

:ehh: I can agree with this part

I would compare it to Curry and Thompson now. Curry gets all the press but some people will say Klay has more talent because he has things Curry doesn't have like size. When he's on, he's on and makes it look easy.
I agree with you with the Pippen disrespect in the thread. I just don't think he was ever fukking with Mike.

    something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.

Lol @ all dem combos & hybrid descriptions but yet..."no he aint :shaq2: "

It's not NORMAL cause there are other PLAYERS who PLAYED LIKE HIM.... Too many to name. Oscar Robertson, Grant Hill, Pippen, Penny Hardaway, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, etc


Which player in history plays EXACTLY like another player? I know you a Bron fan, but damn breh :whoa:

Don't get me wrong...Pippen was not fukking with Jordan. But only because he didn't have Jordan's heart and spirit.

Physically and skill wise he should have been better. Mike couldn't even dribble with his left hand until 7, 8, 9, years in the league. Mike was just so fast and could jump so high and had the mentality of a APBT.

Pippen was nasty though. He would dunk on you quicker than Jordan.

It was a sight to see them turn the dogs loose on defense. That's when they put the full court press on with Mike and Scottie pressuring the ball. Turnover city!

T.O.
conveniently ignoring he was hurt early in the season, then coach tanked his minutes, he was getting shyt on left and right by the media/organization, etc.

i know a lot y'all raps fans are STILL insanely butthurt haters when it comes to dude but he was hardly put in a fair situation back then.

That was Bosh's rookie season,if he hadnt of forced himself out he could have been in a nice situation,injuries is a copout here..He was playing hurt but let me guess the minute he got dealt to NJ magically the ankles was 100% enabling him to get his scoring average back up into the mid 20s in time for the ASG

FOH :camby:

it couldn't be that he got more minutes, more shots and more opportunity while playing in better circumstances alongside jason kidd. nah...that stuff had nothing to do with it.

the smear campaign worked like a charm. :whew:

There was nothing hypothetical.

Knicks was Game 5, Bulls won Game 6, Knicks was on Game 7.

my whole point numnuts is that the series wasn't over after Hollins call. And that was evident with the Bulls winning Game 6. The Game 5 fukkery was not the end of the series.


ur not very bright.

a bad call put them down 3-2.
NOT 1-0
NOT 2-1.
we're talkin bout 3-2.man
3-2.

and they won the following game!!

How would MJs perception be viewed had Scottie gotten past those Knicks and went on to beat the Pacers to get to the finals?

I have ALWAYS said that call probably changes the dynamic of how we view Michael Jordan today. Pippen's value has long been undervalued

We don't know if they would have won game 6 though, that's why i say hypothetical.

The ONLY thing I'm saying Wack is that the series wasn't over after Game 5. THAT'S IT.
