View Full Version : We assume MJ would win with super-teams or AD, but could Lebron win with Pippen?

Lebron never won a Finals with his sidekick getting less than 19.6 on 47%, while Pippen averaged 19.0 on 42% in 6 Finals.

Furthermore, those Bulls would require Lebron to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry the scoring load), which Lebron can't do in the Finals - he's too ball-dominant to beat good teams with high scoring, so he needs equal-scoring partners and "closers".

Finally, the 98' Jazz had 2 perennial all-stars to only 1 for the 15' Warriors (Curry), while the Jazz were a 10-year organic juggernaut that destroyed Shaq's 4 all-star Lakers, Duncan/Popovich, and several wars with the Bulls... So the Curry Warriors stand no chance against the Jazz, or ANY of the organic juggernauts that MJ faced in the 90's..

Does lebron also get to play in the expansion era, where the league's talent pool was at its absolute lowest in the 90s?

If so yes. Having 2 of the top 5 players at that time lebron would absolutely win every year...Just like how curry and durant did it in the toughest era. Pippen and Jordan on the same team during the expansion era was pretty much = to the lakers in the 80's/ celtics of the 80's in the 90s

Hakeem didnt have another superstar...Ewing didnt have another superstar.... Drexler didnt have another superstar....David Robinson didnt have another superstar

96 97 and 98 bulls were so fking lopsided vs the rest of the league its not even fking funny. Ron Harper...Kukoc....Rodman... are u fking kidding me? are u fking shittin me?

and i dont assume anything about jordan...I dont know if he could win outside of a system. His shot iq is so low...i can't guarantee it. In the triangle he couldnt shoot his team out of games because other people got to touch the ball and feel involved

He might frustrate his teammates so much they would passive-aggressively sink the team (think kyrie on the cavs vs the 2015 hawks when he tried to throw the series and no one ever talks about it...like ever....it just got completely swept under the rug until i just mentioned it now by the entire planet)


edit but lebron was too good and swept them anyway

This is a great point. Look at the list of 2nd options the 90's title contenders had

Worthy
Starks
Daugherty
KJ
Payton
Hardaway
Smits
Stockton in his mid 30's

Who on that list jumps out to you as being substantially better than Pippen? Just look at what happened in Jordan's absence, he retires and Hakeem wins with Vernon Maxwell and past prime Drexler as his 2nd options, beating his biggest conference rival then sweeping the team that beat Jordan to boot :lol

It's funny that you promote Pippen over Hakeem when Pippen was instantly demoted to 14 ppg third option behind fossils Barkley and Hakeem in 99' (he was 33 and they were 36...

And Pippen had the lowest advanced stats ever for a winning sidekick in the 93' Playoffs (PER, BPM, VORP, WS/48), while sucking in the 94-03' Playoffs and 88-90'... So his entire playoff career was horrible except 91' and 92' (except the 92' ECSF vs X-Man)

He literally addressed that in the first sentence.

No one ever claimed that Pippen was some sort of maestro as a scorer. But in that second 3 peat he wasn’t healthy for a lot of the playoff runs, primarily 98.

If you’ve ever watched a Bulls game in the 90s (which I assume you have) you could see that his length and activity on both ends was a problem for other teams. If Mike is going off he’s not really gonna be scoring..

Yeah. But health is part of the equation.

So part of the argument should be can Lebron also win with a crooked Pippen? Since a lot of his defenders keep saying Wade or AD was hurt.

20/8/6 on Iverson efficiency means nothing and that's what he did in the 93' run

His only viable runs were 91' and 92' (minus the X-man debacle)

And Jordan won Game 3 of the 93 ECF by dominating when the game was contested to get a big lead while Pippen was MIA... Only when Jordan had already won the game did Pippen's start padding... Watch the 1st quarter of Game 3 - that's literally what happened.. Jordan thoroughly dominated the scoring and passing when the game was contested while Pippen did nothing.

No one has more historic, legendary chokes than Pippen and no one hit zero big shots or less clutch points in their playoff career than Pippen - he's literally the worst clutch player in history

Yeah. But health is part of the equation.

So part of the argument should be can Lebron also win with a crooked Pippen? Since a lot of his defenders keep saying Wade or AD was hurt.

Well I’m not really one to base my beliefs of the Lebron “defenders” here. It’s a clear troll account(s) who I believe doesn’t actually give a shit about him.

But nonetheless, Pippen not being healthy in the playoffs for some of those runs is a huge PLUS for MJ. Not a negative for Pippen. Which is where I take issue: Pippen being really good doesn’t hurt MJ. You’ve watched him..he was actually pretty fun to watch IMO because he was all over the place.

I think the best comparison for him now would be Jimmy Butler but longer and slightly more athletic but and a little less smooth as a shooter.

People who actually watched Pippen would forget he's out there for large stretches.. His performance was never better than Iggy's - that's the historical record regardless of all the excuses you make

And it's shameful to use injuries to explain Pippen's poor play... So he was injured for every run except 91' and 92'? Those are his only legit runs and even 92' is marred by the X-man debacle

Pippen is the most inaccurately acknowledged player on here. He was much better than 3ball makes him out to be and not nearly as good as the level Bronies try to elevate him to.

Well yea when you have Jordan’s dick in every orifice of the body as you do that tends to happen.
