Scottie Pippen: LeBron James greater than Michael Jordan

everybody already knows that a certain "dwayne wade" exists even before "the king" teamed up with him

but the question is: would people know that a "scottie pippen" exists, if "his airness" was not on his team?

jordan can make his teammates look like superstars

while lebron still needs other superstars to back him up

the pace lebron james is going i think he will set records... if he wants to get a ring now is the best time. as an individual player yes murag maayo sya pero sa achievements murag layo pa sya ni MJ(championship rings)

REMEMBEr wala pay na prove c lebron!! he must win a championship to even surpass those legends.
scottie might be right pero before he says something like that James should prove himself or otherwise

Jordan's early years as a player was exactly like LeBron's . Unlike LeBron's luxury back as a Cavs players , Jordan didn't have a position to be involved with players acquisition . In 1987 draft , Jordan wanted to get Joe Wolf , but Bulls GM Jerry Krauss drafted Scottie Pippen . In Jordan's book called Driven From Within , he admit that the Bulls team was discombobulated , they had bad chemistry , him and other players especially with Scottie and Horace Grant didn't get along pretty well . So that was a big factor retiring for the first time aside to have a career shift in baseball .

Jordan has an EGO back in his years ... similar to LeBron now .

An excerpt from an article titled Sorting fact from friction from The Boston Globe:



Also , when Michael Jordan joined the Wizards , he called Kwame Brown a flaming faggot as a "motivation" . However , he didn't get fined by the league for that .

Anyways ... that's beside my point .

I see what Scottie was trying to say . In 1984 draft , Krauss never wanted to draft Jordan cuz they "didn't didn’t know how good Michael was going to be - nobody knew. He improved year by year." In contrary , comparing him to LeBron , everyone knew he will be a GREAT player . Looks like Scottie is trying to say that he might surpass Michael Jordan because probably in his eyes LeBron is already playing like Jordan .

Right now , James is in his 8th season playing in the NBA averaging 26.7 PPG , 7.5 RPG , 7.0 APG , 1.6 SPG , 0.6 BPG , 3.6 TOV and 15.6 WS (Win Shares) . Michael Jordan during his 8th season , he led his team to win 2nd straight NBA Finals with a season average of 30.1 PPG , 6.4 RPG , 6.1 APG , 2.3 SPG , 0.9 BPG , 2.5 TOV and 17.7 WS .

It's safe to say that LeBron may be a great ALL AROUND PLAYER than MJ . He's a perfect basketball player , same thing to say that Michael Phelps is a perfect swimmer , and Usain Bolt is a perfect runner . LeBron has a great skillset and a good body for an NBA player . He's good at passing , rebounding , scoring , posting up , great on fast breaks , great in the halfcourt , great courtvision , great basketball IQ , faster than some PGs , stronger than some big men , can create for himself , can iso , can shoot foul shots , can be creative , has take over ability , huge hands , great dunker , and ALOT more .

I'm not saying that Jordan didn't do those stuffs . But LeBron is better than Jordan if comparing who's the best ALL AROUND PLAYER .

bro look at the stats na imo g pakita. labaw man japon c jordan if e head to head nimo ang stats nila! especially sa scoring! og usa pa jordan by himself hand carry chicago bulls sa championships. c lebron might be one of the greatest but he's not even close to kobe kang jordan pa kaha..

Wonder pud ko kung nganong pretender ka kaayo nga dle ka maayuhan ni LeBron.. I believe kung nitan-aw man gani ka pag game 5 nila against Chicago, naghuot siguro imo dughan ato sa iyang mga clutch baskets sa?

Bai, fyi, si LeBron is not a scoring machine like Jordan.. He's involving every single player in every Miami's offensive possession, meaning, dle siya buaya.. So expect nga lower jud iya avg in scoring, gawas nlang siguro kung malas iya teammates, iya man jud karga tnan ana.. And to add for your knowledge aswell, he's more on the defense end than offense.. Dle naman siguro na kailangan e-explain KUNG tg-tan-aw lang kas dula or if kabalo ka mo analyze

This will put an end into this argument between MJ and LBJ..

"I'm not better than Jordan", James said.

"I'm gracious. Humbled by Scottie's comments, especially with him being a teammate of his and seeing Michael on a day-to-day basis. But as far as me, I'm not going to sit here and say I'm better than Jordan. I'm not better than Jordan."

LeBron 'gracious, humbled' by Jordan comparison


Amen to that!

[Iamalbertrebs]

hmmmm.. James said it humbly that's a way to say thank you.

[paxsit]

LBJ is a very good overall player, while MJ is just a pure scorer. LBJ can guard almost all positions which MJ can't do. Not all 6'8 players can guard a PG with the likes of D.Rose....But LBJ just contained him easily. So just imagine that.
