wow...
Pippin is a top 50 players yes, But he could not lead a team to a chip the way Wade did.. MJ never played with anyone who led a team on his own to a championship... LBJ has played with 1 and possibly 2 with Irving.
A Durant lead team would never mentally dominate a Jordan lead team.. Win or Lose, never would MJ allow for Durant (or anyone) to come into his house and show out without him At least trying to guard him... Game 3, Durant was giving The Cavs the business and LBJ was guarding Green.. MJ would have taken that crap personally and Went at him Man on Man... That is what made him the goat...
There is not one man in the world who could say they know what its like to get into the Ring with Jordan for all the marbles, and walk away with the marble bag.. No one, ever...
That is greatness. All that other crap, one-legged jumpers, 40 point games and triple-doubles.. who cares.. what does it matter if you cant raise the banner...
and When the heck did We as Celtic fans start lowering the bar... Jeeze..
No.
I agree. I think there are about 10+ players over the last 20 years that are better than Pippen. He was good, but 50 is a stretch.
Also, GS is the best team ever assembled. They would beat MJ or anyone else.
While I disagree with your last point about the Warriors, how do Dominique Wilkins, Bernard King, Mark Aguirre, Rodman, Artis Gilmore, Sidney Moncrief, Adrian Dantley, Dennis Johnson, and Bob McAdoo, for starters, get passed over for Scottie Pippen?
Don't get me wrong, the latter was at least a really good player, but come on, over those guys?
I'd take Michael Cooper over Pippen, lol
