Mike was 1-9 in the playoffs before Pippen. No idea why Jordan stans downplay his greatness & impact on that Bulls team.
I understand he was an integral part of the Bulls' success. He's pretty generally accepted as the best perimeter defender ever. Pippen was a baller. But saying he & LeBron aren't close is laughable :yeshrug:

Because maybe he was in his 1st 2nd and 3rd years in the league and had to face the celtics twice in the playoffs.

Do you nikkas understand the term context. Do you nikkas have perspective?

Piopen is better than LeBron...

Better shooter, defender, ball handler, better clutch player, played in a tougher era :yeshrug:

Where are his MVPs and Finals MVPs then? His historic playoff and Finals performances in comparison to Brons? Where dem shyts at, breh?:lupe:


Please enlighten us more on how Pip >>>Bron. I need a good chuckle. :skip:

This logic is terrible

The bulls were 8 seeds from mikes rookie year to 1988 they faced the 1 seed bucks and the 86 and 87 celtics who won the title and lost in the finals.Pippen wouldn't of made any difference vs those teams.That's like comparing the pelicans record vs the spurs in ad's 1st 3 years in the nba.

I ain't even read the article yet, but Pippen saying "I was Lebron before Lebron" is wrong in any context.

Pippen was not a better player
Pippen was not more popular
Pippen was not called a combination of legends X, Y and Z ad nauseum
Pippen was never even in the running to be the best player in the world

Pippen is better off saying Lebron has a bit of Pippen's game too. He just went off the deep end with this one.

For the integrity and rep of The Coli, I urge nobody to cosign Pippen on this one, lol.

Scottie kinda holding himself in pretty high regard on this one.

:manny: He's got a right to, though....the man has six rings and is one of the Top 50 NBA Players of All Time.

Scottie was one of the original "all around game" guys....padded the stat sheets in every category because he did it all.

He just wasn't asked to score like LeBron, although he COULD.
