Scottie Pippen says he was 'LeBron James before LeBron James'

[d.green]

Steve Kerr and Barkley have said the same as well. However, Pippen had a jump shot and a 3pt shot.

Steve Kerr: LeBron Similar To Scottie Pippen, Not Michael Jordan

“The irony to me is that LeBron is not Michael. LeBron is actually Scottie. He’s so similar to Scottie in that defensively he was just a monster, could guard anybody, really more of a point forward than scoring guard. Scottie always loved to distribute the ball. That’s really where LeBron’s preference is.

"Phil Jackson used to call Scottie a 'sometimes shooter.' Sometimes they would go in, sometimes they wouldn't. That's how it is with LeBron. He's a great talent and a great player but you can see his flaws as a basketball player. He doesn't have an offensive game that he can rely on: no low-post game, no mid-range jump shot so when the game really gets tough he has a hard time finding easy baskets and getting himself going. That's what Michael did in his sleep so that's why the comparison is wrong."

Barkley here saying "the media told this guy he was Jordan when he's really Pippen or maybe Magic"

We already knew that though... it's just that LeBron does Scottie Pippen better than Scottie Pippen.

I no-sign because I dont think Bron is a better point forward the Pippen.

Defensively the only player in their category I knew to cook Pip head-to head was Grant Hill. Melo stay cooking bron head-to-head, and Melo is no Grant Hill.

Im a fan of all 4 players game btw

Pippen is an OG and an All Time Great, but he need.to laynoff the bath salts.

 

[matt2]

yeah, he was a great SF who could do everything well, but the only time he could claim to have played like lebron james is when he's going up against this squad

I can't agree 100% with that. IMO Pippen should not have been on the 1st 50 Greatest list considering a few people who they left off to put him on. Pippen is for sure in the top 75-100 though

Pippen never got buckets, or carried a squad like LeBron either.

The only time we got to see Pippen carry a squad in his prime was the 1993–95, and I believe he did just that (aside from his diva act in game 3 of the 94 playoffs)

I would say he held it down in the playoff with the Blazers also (past his prime) getting them to the WCF, however nothing was going to stop that Kobe/Shaq train

Anyways I don't have any Lebron hate, I think he is the all-around best current player, but I do agree that play for play is more Pippen than Jordan, and apparently alot of professional players who played with them do to.

Lol melo had like 2 games where he cooked bron he was supposed to be his main rival but never delivered in that role. And bron's court vision and playmaking >>>>>> pippen. Dude averaged damn near 10apg with one of the worst supporting cast in the finals. Pippen was a great player but hes not on LeBron level at all

I just don't get why niggas don't get they those assist is because he has the ball most of the time. Nobody else can touch the ball. Ex jr smith is a rythm guy who needs to touch the ball.

Lol @ "Pippen is a better point forward than Lebron"

Not even close

yet when he had his chances to touch the ball he didnt deliver.

jr smith spent years with melo and yall claim melo is a black hole, where was this "jr needs to touch the ball" shit then?

You act like he avg 11pts a game during his stint with the bulls and we would never know if he could carry a team if played without jordan

But he avg around 7-8 rebs more 5ast or better and 17-20 pts a game

Then he has a shitload of defensive accolades

That shit is imressive imo ,

If you put him on another team you would say he was actually carrying that team

 

[Neophyte Wolfgang]

Lebron bias is at an all time high for a guy with no jumpshot, no 3 point shot and a excessive traveling habit. What team has Lebron carried? He carried a cavs teams to the finals early in his career when the East was even weaker then it was now. Pippen almost carried the Bulls himself to the finals if it wasn't for that phantom foul call on starks.

I bet you lebron dick riders will say lebron got better defense then pippen to.....smh this is getting out of hand
