Is this a joke?

Simple: you have 7-8 posters constantly saying Pippen was a bad offensive player. 3ball is only one of them. Why should we unilaterally disarm? Yeah, all of them. :lol Yes, the guy who says Pippen sucks on offense (to him, offense=scoring) every single day gives that same scrub credit.

Have fun going down that rabbit hole.

Generally speaking, LeBron is more aggressive at attacking the paint and better at seizing upon easy and efficient scoring opportunities (this includes drawing fouls at an alarming rate), and LeBron has the more versatile offensive game and at involving teammates on offense, but KD is the better shooter, KD has the wider array of ways to score the...

where in the post you quoted, did I mention pippen? I was explaining why Jordan lost with Oakley and woolridge, even though they both averaged 20 ppg in those series

What do you think about pre injury sabonis? I honestly don’t really know much about him but have heard some tall tales about him in the past. In the NBA you could tell he had pretty amazing touch for a big man but his athleticism was long gone for the most part.

I want to make sure I'm not misquoting you. Do you honestly believe that Pippen wasn't good offensively?

Jordan assisted more often during the 2nd three-peat too (higher assist percentage than Pippen in 96-98' playoffs) Jordan took more shots, so there were less available shots to assist on... that's why his assist percentage was MUCH higher (28% to 21% in playoffs) - so Jordan assisted a whopping 33% more often then pippen... even when you...

You joined in March and are telling us what we have seen on here going back to the 2000's are "disingenuous and untrue"? :wtf: His minutes restriction was mentioned--of course you neglect that to level a falsified accusation of manipulation. No numbers are "manipulated." Those are the numbers that exist. :facepalm You fail to realize...

Again, I'm responding to what YOU said. You mentioned MJ not being able to anchor an "elite" offense until Pippen became a star. Why does that need to even be said? Isn't that obvious? It certainly proves itself obvious in all of the other examples I mentioned (Duncan, Giannis, Bird, Hakeem, LeBron, etc). If the obvious response is.... ...

He was. Harp's defense probably went underlooked. When dude played for LA, what was w/ that green thing he wore on his head? :lol

Bet on Paul George at your own peril.

One of you advanced stat lovers go look at his defensive numbers and per from 96-2000 too.

No.

I hate it that he had a hand in beating the Pacers in 98 and again in the 2000 Finals but you have to appreciate these type of players. With Kobe barely playing mins because of the ankle injury.

i thought having a big tv in such a small space was a high IQ move too. he can his cover his broken window with cardboard and use the tv as a light source instead :ohwell:

Sabonis looks like he could be a 40s something dad backyard grilling on 4th of july.. :lol then you realize he's 7'3.

the excuse for losing with Woolridge and Oakley is that there was less parity in the 80's vs the 90's - let me explain concisely... you needed an all-time great team stacked with HOF's to win the 80's East and the Celtics had 5 guys average 17+ in those 2 series compared to just MJ/Woolridge and MJ/Oakley for the Bulls .. But in the 90's,...

I bring that up because Pippen is presented as a poor offensive player. We have heard denials that this happens but three posters who have done that multiple times are in this thread alone. :lol So if Pippen is a bum, what did the Bulls do offensively when he was not around? One of the common narratives is the Bulls had scrubs before Pippen....

Even if. Such responses are disingenuous and untrue. Your problem is you manipulate numbers without considering normal circumstances. The fact remains is that when MJ returned, he was on a 14 minute restriction that extended as time went on. What kind of team chemistry can be built that way? I asked you this before and I can't recall if you...

One of you advanced stat lovers go look at his defensive numbers and per from 96-2000 too.

Hoop Dreams might have gotten a lot of acclaim, but they rarely show it on the television. I think they've shown it one time my whole life.

LMAO now the goal post moves to total deaths. Sweden is a country of only 10 million people. Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States, 12 times more than Norway, seven times more than Finland and six times more than Denmark. but but but Deaths bruh. Covid deaths

Playing with Westbrook and against worse defenses overall. Seen you claim that a good offense makes players work harder. No doubt. But better defenses hold teams and players in check. Not ALWAYS but they're ranked best for a reason. Again, those teams are generally in the eastern conference. When teammates are a wash, Lebron plays better...

If it were left up to me, I would take this to the NBA Forum since it is not Off-Topic.

What does this have to do with TRUMP?
