Nah, the real reason you can't double LeBron is because he will find the open man like he has a radar array in his headband.


You can't do anything when Lebron is on the elbow. He'll see everything coming at him and will hit the open man anywhere on the court.

:rudy:

rodman was a beast on offense :ohhh:


:comeon:

allen, chalmers




kobe still gets doubled consistently, you cant double lebron because of wade and bosh its that simple

So we going to act like getting boards off the glass on the offensive side of the ball, setting picks, and putting in work in the post to create space for your teammates doesn't benefit other players on the offensive side of the ball :ufdup:

So pointing this out somehow lessens MJ's lack of and only having success when playing with Scottie?

How I wish the Knicks weren't bailed out by Hue Hollins.

the subject is touchy, because those debating wont allow the argument to have a middle ground.

i in no way am saying pippen was a scrub. what i was pointing out was on the premises of what the thread starter said, jordan did not have a team that kept him from being doubled teamed. rodman was no scoring threat. teams laid off him all the time. pippen was not dynamic enough of a scorer to bring all the attention of the defense on him enough to keep jordan from a double team. jordan still dealt with many nights of teams doubling him. this is not calling pippen a scrub, this is just a fact. if you watch many of the older bulls games jordan still dealt with heavy double teams on most nights. it was only a few teams like the knicks, heat who would go man to man and not send the double cause they really feared the open shooters like bj, hodges, paxson, then later kerr, buchler, kukoc. but it was no other player on those bulls squads that commanded a double every night, enough to keep mj single covered.

and none of what im saying is to totally agree with the premises of what the op is saying, but when this argument is made, many people keep bringing up pippen and rodman, and act like it still wasnt many of nights jordan had to go complete ham to get wins.

You don't have to frame it as lacking a middle ground. Why front like Lebron not facing double teams come solely down to "who he plays with" and NOT his ability to make teams pay because of his passing abilities? :rudy:

NOW we're giving all of the credit for Bron not being double teamed to his teammates....not his ability and attributes as a player.

yall niqqas are see through.

And what was he doing in Cleveland? Teams were just as afraid to double him for the very reasons I stated.

And who does it with bums? :what:
