Kyrie, Steph, Lillard, Har_en, Jrue..........
Chuckbrick, Kemba, Beal, Klay etc. arent on his level
look what that boy did to those Blazers last year
28/7/4 on 57/35/70 with a 41/8/3 closeout game and he was even more dominant on defense:biggums:
hes easy an all defense guard and was robbed of an allstar appearance this year. Hes way better than Klay. He should make all nba 3rd team too:no: :no:

Very close if not.
Absolute stud. Imagine him on the Jazz :eek: :eek:
He took a fat shit all over the Blazers that series.
:facepalm He’s not better than some of the guys you listed and he’s not better than Oladipo or Jimmy Butler either.

this season babyboi
Oladipo got hurt and Jimmys played SF for years now
Who the hell cares if he got hurt? He’s still better. Years, eh? He could still be considered a SG last year.
Tell us more about Jonathon Simmons being the next Pippen and Taj Gibson being an elite PF.

Overall, can't say but defensively, he is one of the best. Right up there with anyone. He can guard 1s and 2s and is especially great on the ball. He is underrated for sure.

[QUOTE=RRR3]Who the hell cares if he got hurt? He
he played 77% of his minutes at SF last year and can be considered a SG? intredasting tell me more
i already proved Taj was a top 10 PF in that thread. The position was weak:confusedshrug:
i was trolling about Simmons. He was great defensively that one year. We all know Iggy is the Pippen of this era:confusedshrug: :confusedshrug:
Butler and Wiggins were interchangeable at the 2 and the 3 it’s semantics. Whatever, take Butler off, there’s still 5 better for sure.
What year was that? Tell me the year and I’ll find you ten better PF’s
Oh so after you look like a deranged lunatic you were just “trolling”? Convenient. And Iggy wishes he was Pippen.

pull up the thread i posted the top 10 PFs and that other fakkit stopped debating after he realized i was right that there werent 10 better full time PFs:confusedshrug:
Iggys better defensively than Pippen ever was. Hes just as good in transition in his prime, as good a ballhandler and passer/playmaker
only advantage Pip has is in his post scoring and post game in general
Iggy actually stops elite players for a series in the playoffs like Bran in 2015 and he steps up in the playoffs. Iggy steps up and wins FMVP off the bench at the end of his prime when his star player is shtting the bed against aussie manlets:confusedshrug:
Wtf I don’t remember that thread I don’t memorize them.
If you’re so confident about that Iggy/Pippen stuff, make a thread saying the stuff you just said to me.

[QUOTE=RRR3]Wtf I don
i did make one in the past. there was even a vid of Pip and Iggy watching film together of each other and talking about how they had similar caliber games and it was like looking in a mirror for both of them
everyone remembers Iggy at the end of his run now. He was a beast in Philly and on par with prime Pippen. Even 2015 Iggy at the end of his prime in a reduced role managed to be the best player in a finals series that had 2 alltimers in it.
Put Iggy with prime MJ in place of Scottie? They do the same sht TBH:confusedshrug:
So Iggy=Pippen? :oldlol:

Initially, it might sound far fetched but size wise, athleticism wise, ability to pass and finish in transition, they were very similar. And as Durthickemz said, Pip did have the advantage in post game. But they were very similar players.
You give a guy like Iggy as a rookie and let him MJ forge him in practice every day, Iggy would turn out into something similar to Pip.

He's right. Iggy was just about as good as Pippen, take Jordan away from Pippen and he'll have Iggy's career. Give Iggy Kobe and he'll have Pippen's career. Pippen has a slight edge in rebounding and defending because of his frame but they're nearly identical as players, only difference is resume.

No you ****ing retard. You said some stupid shit like Gibson being better than Randle and Saric so I bent you over and took you to pound town for 20 minutes after that. You must've forgotten because of how traumatic the experience was, but I'll do it again if you dont behace bitch.

You think if Kobe and Pippen are paired together, they win 6 rings and Iggy gets to make 7x All-Star, 7x All-NBA, and 10x All-Def?
BTW, that Hamster dude is legit retarded. Like superduper, Straight_Bitchmade, kenny, and pickernroller level retarded.

Yes. If Iggy came in a couple years after Kobe and they played alongside each other that would be his ball park. Iggy was consistently shutting down the opposing team's star while carrying the offensive load for like 5 years, while also leading the league in minutes or in the top 3 range. Give him Kobe who worked just as hard and thats a dynasty.
And yea I know he's retarded, doesnt mean hes wrong all the time though. Its always the people who never have an original opinion on anything that are the first to call someone stupid. Stop agreeing with whatever your Bran Butt Buddies say.

Iggy has TWO All-Def selections in his entire career. How is playing with Kobe gonna help him get more of those?
Also, dude made the All-Star team ONCE in his entire career (ZERO All-NBA) and somehow playing with Kobe is gonna help him make more All-Def and All-NBA teams?
Kobe played with Shaq for 8 season and that was prime/peak Shaq, and he won 3 rings (with Shaq averaging 30/15/3/1/2 on 55% during the 3peat) and somehow, Kobe is going to win more than that with Iggy?
Never go full retard, kiddo.

Jrue Holiday, Lou Williams, Elton Brand, and Evan Turner. Lets ignore all of them and act like the second best player Iggy had was Spencer Hawes.
Iggy is a role player at BEST. Pippen was a legit superstar is a top 25 GOAT. Iggy isn't even cracking the top 200 on a good day.

Classic AJ not understanding how things work around here. He gets more all defensive selections mainly for 2 reasons:
1. He's not the go to scorer anymore, Bryant is, so Iguodala can exert more energy on defense.
2. He's on a better team. Him and Kobe are contenders, so he'll naturally get more exposure. More exposure = more media awards = more all stars.
Also, you know very little about those Sixers teams. Thaddeus Young was their 2nd best player, followed by Lou, Jrue, then Brand. Hawes was easily better than Turner. The point of my statement was to highlight that Spencer Hawes was starting, I dont even think hes on a roster anymore, Philly had no business making noise like that during the start of the superteam era.
Why are you talking about Shaq? Kobe wasn't in the peak of his career with Shaq. In fact he only hit the early stages of his prime, you have no idea what you're talking about so you use oversimplifications to try to keep up.

Idc about your guys' schtick 99% of the time, but if we're talking about Iggy then im gonna call you out on it. You idiots didnt see him play, I saw 80% of his career in Philly, so don't sit there and act like it's some holy sin to compare him to Pippen, another player you didnt see. Yall are from Europe and Asia, dont act like you're experts on a player just because you can open up basketball reference. I doubt either of you saw one full game of Iggy in a Philly uniform. Stfu you pricks.

He's not equivalent, but he's in the ilk of Pippen. Like an 85% Pippen. Similar skills and he'd occupy the same role on a team structured like the Bulls.
Don't see how that's wrong in any way. Even their weaknesses are similar.

You have no clue about Pippen and base your opinion on things Lebron trolls post on this forum.

Just because their skills are 85% similar doesn't make them equal players. Iggy is not even in the same stratosphere as Pippen as a player. As I said, Pippen is a top 25 GOAT and Iggy is not even top 200 on a good day. Put him on any team in the history of the sport and he's not even coming close to what Pippen achieved in his career.

:roll:
I should just ignore your asinine posts, considering the fact that you said Iggy and Kobe would win 6 or more, but I'll just touch on this one point.
In 2012, Iggy was pretty much in his prime/peak and was scoring a monstrous 12 PPG. Didn't make the All-Def team.
In 2013, dude was averaging 13 a game at 29 and didn't make an All-Def team, let alone the All-NBA team.
Can you tell me why he didn't make the All-Def team in '15, when he was on the best team in the league?
Pippen was All-Def FIRST team in 1999, after he left the Bulls and All-Def second in 2000. Again, this was after the Bulls when he was with the Rockets and Blazers.
Oh, and Pippen was making All-Def First teams while averaging 22/9/6/3/1. Tough luck that Iggy was to fatigued to play defense after dropping a mind boggling 14 PPG. :oldlol:
People saying Iggy and Pippen are equal players... :facepalm
What next? Gilbert Arenas and Kobe are equal players because they share similar skills?

Duh. I said he's not equivalent. But not 85% similar skills, 85% value and I think that's about right. IIRC there were about 4000 players in the NBA so far. So 85% of a 1% player (top 40) would put him somewhere around top 600ish. I think Iggy somewhere around 300 in my book.

Meltdown loser. Case and point cant make any arguments outside of basketball reference. He didn't make the all defense team on the "best team in the league" because he was the 6th man, he wasnt getting enough burn. Can you tell my why he won FMVP on "the best team in the league". Something Pippen never won. Your words loser:oldlol:
I didnt say he would win 6, I said he would be in the ball park. Kobe won 5 without him, you didn't know that? :lol
Repeating the same shit is doing nothing, I already explained why he didnt get media awards in his prime, you're wasting your time typing that out. You brought absolutely nothing to the table in this discussion and conceded that Iggy was the most valuable player on the best team in the league at one point, Pippen never was, not even close. Checkmate sonny. Liren 1 Anand 0:rockon:

How mad are you right now, you braindead moron?
Kobe won 5 because he had a top 4 GOAT in Shaq and a top 50 GOAT in Pau. Without either of them, he's a career loser, who never made it out of the first round.
Those are facts, kiddo. I'm sorry if FACTS hurt your feelings. :cheers:

So, Pippen is a top 25 GOAT and Iggy is ~300? Yeah, sounds about right.
Also, if you think Iggy = 85% of Pippen, you've never seen Pippen play.
