I guessed you missed the part in episode 1 where Jordan said, "There is no Michael Jordan without Scottie Pippen."

Basketball being a team sport, the 'while winning championships' part comes first. Stephon Marbury showcased his talent. I mostly agree with your point but the question is how long are you able to win playing a certain way, especially with the same franchise. Durant's iso way of playing the game does showcase his talent but he didn't do much as...

It is not Monday Morning quarterbacking, Reinsdorf and Pippen's own people told him not to sign it before he signed it. But he wanted it. Everyone knows this except you for some reason.

Jordan legitimately never had a "bad" playoff series. The ones that come closest to that would be his '96 Finals & '97 ECF. But they don't match the lows of 2011 LeBron, 2016 Curry, 2020 Kawhi, 2004 Kobe, KD last year etc. Come to think of it, prime Shaq honestly never had a truly bad series either.

My literal argument is that Brown is AllNBA and Ingram isn't even an allstar. Butler has nothing to do with it from my perspective. Butler has made these awards numerous times and also had a history of great playoff performance including this postseason that puts him in a different class from Ingram who has only been an allstar once and only...

Almost exactly what I expected. Give or take a couple recycled phrases.

Your literal argument was Brown is an all star and Ingram isn't :facepalm

Pippen's a dummy anyway, he was OK with talking about the 1.8 seconds thing, but then realized when he watched the documentary that it made him look stupid to sit there and say he would still do it the same way all over again (lol). That's ON SCOTTIE though. This dude cannot take responsibility for anything without having to blame other people...

They were blown out in the fourth until they got on a furious run near the end but it wasn't enough. Murray not doing well didn't help things either.

The funny thing about Scottie's bullshit about Phil Jackson is he convienantly leaves out that Pippen DID get the ball in 17 seconds left and a chance to go iso and finish the Knicks off that same very game ... and what does he do? Put up a HORRENDOUS shot that was not even close to going in, lol. No one mentions that, including Scottie. Phil...

You want to compare Brandon Ingram to Jimmy Butler?

i think OP "tore a tendon" running away from his own thread

it means that LeFraud got swept with a stacked team and Butler was able to win 1 (so far) with a bunch of undrafted scrubs. it means you stan a loser.

I'm aware :lol

Jimmy Butler wasn't an all star either this year :oldlol:

Jordan said scoring 8 per quarter was easy as pie for him. What's wrong with wanting to win a scoring title anyway? If you have the ability to do it and can do it within the context of winning championships which Jordan clearly could, then show the world your talent. If you have the talent to do something but don't want to push yourself to...

Longevity can work against the player as well.

Is it too late to get this in The Last Choke?

Jimmy isn’t the quality shot creator his cult members want to believe he is. He’s a very interesting life/career trajectory, and is a very good all around player. And at least one game per year, he appears to be the best two way player on earth. But what about the other 360-some days ?

Luka can win 3+ titles if he gets a team of 3&D guys, and a Brook Lopez stretch rim protector. But the odds of getting all that and Denver losing enough of their rotation players to let the Luka squad past …. And Luka staying healthy in his later 20’s at his current weight … I think he won’t win chips until Jokic gets 2-3 of his own. All that...

I'm starting to get bullish on the Heat, not gonna lie. My heart wants Jimmy B to win a ring but I'm really starting to like their chances. I'm not a betting man but if I was and had some fukk around money laying around, I'd put money on them, anybody who still thinks they're a fluke are fooling themselves. Can't blame the odds makers though, it's...

Cuban seems like a guy who hasn't updated himself in like 10 years. Kidd, Van Gundy etc.

Be careful with your questions. If you are expecting anything near to coherent reasoning in his answer you may be in for a rude awakening resulting in disappointment. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Ortg isn't a cherry picked stat. It measures efficiency for the entire game. Teams make runs off and on during every game. In the end Denver's ORTG of 124 is well above their playoff average and also well above the league leader during the regular season. Cherry picking is looking at a short stretch of a game that fits your narrative. For...
