Is Pippen a good role model?

[72-10]

Pippen has been a gentleman for most of his life. Thoughts?

[8Ball]

Yes he is a good role model.

All his teammates loved him. He played the game the right way.

There is only 1 teammate of his that resented him.

[Spurs m8]

Yeah...take coke and run around like a mental patient, just to sell a book

Good role model hahahaha

Real role models obsess about LeBron James on the internet while pretending to be Spurs fans.

[Reggie43]

He was basketballwise. Basically a superstar that is willing to do the dirty work to help his team win.

He's demented as a human. I've been studying his posting the last few months and realized how much of a bottom feeder he is.

Kawhi m8 only hates Scottie Pippen because:

- He hates LeBron fans.
- Diminishing Scottie Pippen props up Jordan's legacy.
- Proping up Jordan for the only reason to diminish LeBron.
- All helps towards his animosity to LeBron fans :lol
- He's stuck a feed back loop.

Except when the last play isn't drawn up for him and a white guy gets it

That's weird you'd study me

But okay lol rent free

I don't even hate Pippen hahaha

MJ is goat....no argument

LeBron stans on here are literally losers and liars....I let them take care of themselves...I don't need to do anything hahaha

Lebron stans get upset when their ridiculousness is balanced out with simple facts...thats where I come in.

I couldn't give 2 fvcks about LeBron away from here, I actually have a life

You keep saying this, but it's obviously not true. 95% of your posts are you shitting on LeBron, the other 5% is you shitting on Kawhi and you post here pretty often. Can't be healthy spending so much time hating on someone you never met.

Give the guy a break - Lebron removed organic chemistry (the best quality basketball) from the league and replaced it with short-tem, mercenary teamwork - he literally ruined the quality of basketball in the NBA, yet the media protects him because they can't trash the game they cover.. So f*ck Lebron.. he's a b*tch and not nearly as good at basketball as everyone thinks - he's a 6'8" John Wall - a simpleton skillset that every playground king across America employs - lazy ball-dominance where everyone else stands around and gets reduced - no wonder he needs extra talent (super-teams) to offset his suboptimal brand, and STILL mostly loses with super-teams - that's how bad his brand is and how much he reduces everyone.. ball-dominance it's the easiest way to play.. and the dumbest.. Thank god that Giannis has brought back the best brand of basketball (organic).. he did so by learning how to WIN (organic), while Lebron only knows how to team-hop.. think about that - lebron doesn't know how to win (only team-hop)

Yeah nobody cares what rookie and sophomore Jordan did, just like nobody cares what rookie or sophomore Lebron did (lottery)

prime Jordan was 32-12 without Pippen from 91-98' (a 60-win, 1 seed without Pippen)

prime Jordan probably 3-peats with Horry, since Hakeem won 1 with Horry at #2

He went to zero finals without him as well.

[3ba11]

He made the Finals in spite of Pippen - Pippen's poor play nearly derailed the repeat in 92' ECSF or 98' ECF, and DID derail the title in 88', 89', 90', and 95'

how many 7 game series against top teams did Lebron win while his sidekick averaged 16 on 39%.. heck, how many series against top teams did lebron win with his sidekick wetting the bed?

Jordan's 2nd three-peat was IN SPITE of pippen, who was among the worst sidekicks ever (worst-ever efficiency coupled with weak scoring)... he also won the 93' title in spite of pippen.

Yet all those five seasons without pippen and none ended up with a playoff series win, let alone a finals win. :cry:

Lebron didn't win a series until he acquired a 22/6/5 all-defender in 06', or the future COY... or Varejao (all-defender)... Lebron got all these guys in 06', so he finally made the playoffs

So why are you ignoring Lebron doing the same thing as JOrdan (winless until he got a bunch of "pippens")

So almost no one wins as a rookie or soph, or at 40... unless they were already on a good team... that includes MJ, Giannis, KD, Lebron, or Curry (in order of greatness)

Those guys aren't better than pippen for those who are sane in these types of discussions.

Hughes was far better than 88' Pippen... It isn't remotely close... so wtf are you talking about.. You want me to post the stats or are you good?

Jordan made the 2nd Round with an 8 ppg bench-warmer, while Lebron needed a 22/6/5 all-defender, the future COY, and Varejao, among others.. Lebron needed far more help throughout his career...

Furthermore, he needed 3 years to build his team into a high seed before entering the playoffs, while Jordan was thrown into the playoffs in Year 1 as a low seed.

Ultimately, Lebron was gifted a player that achieved peak Pippen stats - and Lebron BEGGED hughes to leave Arenas and join him.. Then he destroyed him just like Ingram, Kuzma, Jamison, Bosh, Love, Clarkson, IT, Crowder - f*cking everyone that wasn't an elite shooter already.

This only shows that at least he wasn't shackled to one player for his playoff success rofl

If Lebron did this, he could get the most out of teams like Jordan did:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymu2E3O7pAs&t=87s


and if he didn't dominate the ball, he wouldn't impose spot-up roles that stall young players, so guys like Ingram or clarkson could grow alongside him like pippen did alongside mj

Wtf you talking about? He made the finals at such a young age (22) with a bunch of scrubs.

He did the same thing Iverson, Kidd and Dwight did - the 00's East is the only conference in history that was won by a bunch of 1-star teams.

And how many all-time greats shot 35% in a playoff series as 1st option?... So Lebron's caliber against the champs (07' Spurs or 08' Celtics) was literally the worst of all time

At least it's better than losing in the first round three times in a row.

[72-10]

I agree; that guy played with a lot of class. No bitter feuding with MJ or other teammates and remained humble when he did something amazing.

[Sarcastic]

Absolutely not. He's been arrested numerous times, for fighting, drinking and driving, carrying a gun. Probably others as well.

Lately he's peddling a bourbon, and looking like he's on drugs in interviews. He's definitely not someone you'd want to be a role model for children.

[Spurs m8]

Someone like Giannis is a much better role model

Works hard, doesn't take the easy path, doesn't quit on those around him when things get too hard, keeps his promises, laid back, winner....

I'll take Giannis

[RogueBorg]

1994 Bill Cartwright wouldn't say so

Neither would Horace Grant beginning in 1992. He was jealous of MJ and Pipp for getting seemingly preferential treatment coming back from the Olympics. 8ball doesn't know anything.
