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?

not doing this



you cant double lebron because of wade and bosh, its that simple, i know that it hurts you guys but that is the truth

not to agree with the threadstarter, but teams doubled on jordan all the time. scottie wasnt that dynamic of a scorer to force teams not to double jordan. jordan to win at times had to shoot jumpers and fade aways over 2-3 defenders at times.

:snoop:

LBJ gets the same treatment..

but he is a way better passer..

if you dont double team LBJ, he score 30 on 70fg%

if you double team him he gets 10 + assist and his teamates get hot on the 3's

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.

see thats what i mean, when did i ever say that was not the reason lebron was getting doubled? that is why i been making it clear im not totally agreeing with the op

but when people make this argument of who lebron has surrounding him, they throw pippen out there like he was a dwayne wade or shaq type of player next to jordan. and he just wasnt. the rarity that you would see pippen taking over a game to the point where jordan was left single covered so pippen could be checked just never happened. that is the only point im making.

i understand exactly what you saying as far as bron ability to find the open man the reason teams dont double. im only arguing the issue of jordan not being doubled based on pippen being on the court with him. with that i disagree cause pippen didnt command double teams like that.

:mindblown:

Doc Rivers says he NEVER doubles Lebron because he wants to pass. He's too scared of his passing ability.

:laugh:

[Lil]You see it!!![/Fame]

No use talking to these clowns. The only 'reason" Lebron isnt' doubled to them is because of his teammates, not his passing ability to punish teams.

:heh:

They're horrible posters man......

nobody said he didnt

im only making a argument for jordan

people throw "well pippen played with jordan" out there like it was the same as what bird, magic, lebron and kobe had/got around them

people say, well jordan didnt win shyt without pippen, people neglect all them years that jordan couldnt win shyt with pippen. and when the blueprint to beat the bulls was to double jordan and make his teammates beat you. and knock pippen down a few times cause he soft. people forget that part of the story. people forget that in the 96,97,98 the 2nd 3 peat era pippen point totals went down from the reg season vs the playoffs.

its just not the same as bird having mchale next to him, or magic having kareem, or kobe having shaq. nights when them dudes was off the other player could take over a certain way. if jordan wasnt going ham, that was normally a loss.

Era changed

were in an era were a killer crossover will leave defenders like :comeon:
and quick step and directions changes will C4 your Ankle to oblivion..

in other words, were in an era of athleticism.. and among that era Reigns Lebron...
MJ was ahead of his time.. but in this Era, things wouldnt be the same..
nowadays you see 5 white man on the floor and its ok to assume the game was white flagged ......:troll:

Jordan made the league go for the super athletes... but he was one of one in his position..the centers where the athletes back then..

so of course, it takes more then one man nowadays to win rings...I think detroit was the last team to win as a "normal" team.
