View Full Version : If Wiggins gets 19 on 42% vs Boston (Pippen's Finals averages), Warriors lose

Wiggins averaged 0.8 turnovers vs Dallas compared to 3 to 4 for Pippen, so that offsets the assist numbers

Pippen-caliber of 19 on 42% is less than Pandemic P's 21 on 45% vs Denver - this normally isn't considered enough talent to win a single title, let alone 6..

So Wiggins can't drop the ball and play like a bum (pippen)

Worse than Pippen's and the Warriors are a long ways from winning. You bumped the thread a few games too early and now you'll look silly when it doesn't require bumping at all

If Curry wins, Wiggins will not average those Pippen numbers, they will be worse. Meaning it will be a bigger carry job than MJ. If he loses, you will have a meltdown.

3ball argues like a child.

Literally clings to the next thing after one point gets destroyed. Random arbitrary pocket of stats selected in his next spastic argument in a game filled with them. But this here.... this little cluster here... this makes MJ the GOAT. Him being able to average 34.3ppg, while his next best player averaged 17.3ppg on a Wednesday while not being the primary ball defender, in an equal load offence while having an exact equal split of 60-40 of players above and below 6 foot 8 in the team. Until someone can do it better... they ain't better than MJ.

I've been saying this all along. He creates arbitrary metrics based on what MJ has done, and then disqualifies everyone based on them not meeting those metrics, then declared himself the 'winner' of the argument for criteria that he sets. A 5 year old could see through that bullshit.

'The GOAT must average 30.1ppg while winning the championship with a 2nd option who averages 10ppg or less than him"

Anyone could come up with their own set of metrics and it be no less correct than his, but 'reasonable' people for the most part don't argue like that.

It's simple:



1) Be capable of defeating maximum defensive attention (carrying scoring load in the playoffs and Finals of title run).. This requires elite jumpshooting skill and a good brand of ball at high scoring levels (the high scoring should be partially-assisted to promote ball movement)

2) learn to win, aka organic (this requires being good at teammate fits, teammate development, chemistry and brand of ball)


^^^ this is the simplest and.most intuitive goat criteria there is - simply defeat maximum defensive attention and learn to win (organic)... :confusedshrug:

So basically, your retort is to do exactly what I said you do..........create your own criteria then act like it's the only criteria that has any merit. Plowking said it right, you argue like a child. Actually I'm not sure that's even accurate, because a 5 year old can see through that bullshit. YOUR subjective criteria isn't absolute, and anyone else can come up with their own metrics and it's no more or less valid than yours. You either pretend you don't understand that concept, or you're as uneducated as you try to argue others are for not understanding your argument. We understand it just fine, so there's no need to regurgitate the talking points and slap the 'it's simple' sticker on it. They're simply full of agenda, loopholes and contradiction and again, YOUR criteria. You can't and never will admit to being wrong, so you're not interested in debate, merely talking at someone. Any attempt at rationed discourse is an instant dead-end.

Precisely. He coins the term 'defeating maximum attention', and then defines that as 'by outscoring your 2nd option by 10ppg' because that was typically what MJ scored moreso than Pippen. This is literally the very definition of setting a criteria and trying to dominate the rules of engagement. It would be like me arguing that the greatest food ever has a crust, tomato sauce, mozarella cheese, and Pepperoni....and I subsequently declare myself the winner of the argument because no other food adheres to the terms I alone established as the measuring stick.

It's BASKETBALL

defeating maximum defensive attention is the toughest caliber of offensive BASKETBALL

Jordan and Kobe achieved it multiple times, while others had one-offs like 15' Curry, 84' Bird, 00' Shaq, 11' Dirk and 03' Duncan... 19' Kawhi was as close as you can get

Defeating maximum defensive attention requires elite jumpshooting skill, which Lebron lacks .. And defeating good teams with high scoring requires a good brand of ball, which Lebron lacks at high scoring levels, and therefore needs equal-scoring partners (no max defensive attention)

Lebron averaged 16 on 39% thru 3 games, while teammates staved off an 0-3 deficit, while his 23 on 43% was insufficient thru 6 games and needed Ray to force Game 7.

It was actually another 2011-style choke until Ray bailed him out

So who cares about the last 2 games, one of which was literally the goat bailout in history of sports - the biggest shot in NBA history.

Btw, there are basketball reasons why Lebron can't defeat maximum defensive attention (can't carry scoring load in Finals)...

That doesn't address the point. MJ is a career 33ppg playoff scorer, Lebron is 29ppg. The fact that Lebron in some cases had better scorers next to him doesn't change that. In fact, if MJ had an equal scoring partner next to him he wouldn't average 33ppg. :hammerhead:

The sample size in a series is small enough that a couple higher scoring games can manipulate the stats. Wade had games scoring 10 and 14 points that finals.

Lebron has plenty of series with trash scorers at sidekick like Pippen, yet he never scored like Jordan and he never beat a top 5 SRS team with poor scoring and efficiency from a sidekick (no carry-jobs against good teams in 2 decades of playing).

Lebron simply needs more scoring help because he lacks the brand of ball to beat good teams at high scoring levels (so he needs elite-scoring sidekick) and he lacks the elite jumpshooting skill to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals) - this also requires an elite-scoring sidekick to attract equal defensive attention (so Lebron doesn't face max defensive attention)

But Pippen was fragile and needed that kind of coddling and political speak

Heck, Phil preferred Kerr or Paxson.. Pippen was never in the shooter role or on the scouting report (https://i.makeagif.com/media/3-27-2022/qrDm8n.gif).. He was an athlete/transition player and a 14 ppg dunker that couldn't score outside the system and dynasty chemistry

Lebron can't score

At high scoring levels, his brand can't beat good teams, so he needs equal-scoring partners that can match him at scoring

It's pathetic

He also lacks the elite jumpshooting skill needed to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals) or carry bed-wetting teammates over top 5 SRS team

Lebron can't score

At high scoring levels, his brand can't beat good teams, so he needs equal-scoring partners that can match him at scoring

It's pathetic

He was always the teams best scorer, playmaker and defender

LeBron produced more points than Jordan, led them intellectually and was the best defender

Jordan can't compete with that.

Thats the definition of carrying physically and mentally... Phil says so

So LeBron was Jordan/Pippen in one (teams best scorer, playmaker, and defender)

That makes him the runaway GOAT and shatters Jordan whose own coach says he was mainly just a scorer while scottie the better all around player.


Jordan averaged more assists and could average 30/10/10 at point guard or in the Finals

Pippen can't do that - he can't break anyone down and just swung the ball or pushed it on the break

And Jordan got more DPOY votes every year

Posting quotes and responses to dumb media questions isn't a viable argument because there's tons of quotes from Phil, Chuck Daly, Shaq, Bill Laimbeer, Isiah or Reggie Miller that say Pippen was garbage

Lebron needs more passing and scoring help than Jordan - all of Lebron's teammates average more assists than Pippen like Wade, Westbrook, Kyrie or Rondo

Jordan was also a better defender than Lebron and Pippen, while being a far better passer than Pippen

So you have nothing.

Ultimately, Pippen was less scoring and passing help than Wade, Kyrie, and Westbrook, while Lebron had juggernaut rim protection compared to Jordan too

Jordan could do what they do (ball-dominance) and he averaged more assists than they did in this stat-padding format

But they can't do what Jordan did, which is have carry-jobs against good teams (defeat top 5 SRS team with poor scoring and efficiency from sidekick) or defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in the Finals)

This caliber of scoring (that doesn't need good scoring help) requires elite jumpshooting skill and a good brand of ball at high scoring levels - aka the most sophisticated style and skillset - a combination of on-ball and off-ball play that fits any teammate or system

THAT'S the goat caliber of performance that yields goat team ceilings organically

I don't - you guys do

I try to focus on the pure basketball achievements that transcend era..

For example, in order to beat good teams with bed-wetting teammates (carry-job against good team), it isn't enough to achieve high ppg - the high ppg must occur with a good brand of ball to beat a good team.

Unfortunately, Lebron can't have a good brand of ball at high scoring levels, so he can't beat good teams when he takes up too much of the scoring pie - he needs a sidekick to score and shoot well to beat good teams.

This contrasts with Jordan, who could score without ball-dominance and while the ball moved, so his high scoring didn't sacrifice brand of ball and could therefore beat good teams.

In addition to having carry-job capability against good teams, Jordan had the elite jumpshooting skill to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals), which Lebron can't do

In addition to these scoring aspects, knowing how to win is important, which involves teammate fits and brand of ball.. Once again, Lebron's skillset comes up short in these areas, so he's forced to pursue a talent-based approach (team-hop.. all-star team strategy).. He was infact a perennial loser just like Luka until the "decision" to form super-teams... It's cool because we can use Lebron's template as a prediction for Luka (his brand will need super-teams too)

No you're right - 89' Jordan lost with that shit despite having a better run than 22' Luka

(Jordan led a 6 seed to ECF with 9 on 40% from sidekick in ECF... and he beat the #1 SRS in the process and hit legendary GW vs dynasty in Game 3 of ECF)

But all Jordan needed was a coach to use his scoring at the end of shot-clocks after wearing down the defense with ball movement - all of a sudden Jordan was winning titles while carrying the scoring load instead of losing carry-jobs like before.. His scoring didn't decrease to win - his scoring was just used differently because he was elite in every area

A minimum of Pippen-caliber was needed from Wiggins to win this series - the last game confirmed this and made the thread title true

Yeah the Warriors haven't won yet but Curry was the first player to have a great game in this series, which gives the Warriors control because they know the Celtics must consider adjustments (doubling or coverage adjustment)

Klay is averaging 18 along with Wiggins

Accordingly, the Warriors are similar to MJ's Finals opponents because they have several scoring options OUTSIDE of the sidekick - Wiggins has to share the secondary scoring load with other secondary scorers..

This also explains why Pippen would outscore opposing sidekicks - he had a bigger burden because the Bulls lacked 3rd or 4th scoring options. Unfortunately, he had worst-ever efficiency on this burden because he couldn't handle it (see previous post) - Pippen was only a 2nd option alongside MJ and otherwise was 3rd to 8th option on the Rockets and Blazers

So you think that being higher up on the totem pole or having a larger scoring "burden" means typically a player will score more?

Obviously other than when they play with Lebron. I know there's a different set of rules there.

Only 1 guy in 3-pointer history averaged 40+ in a series - MJ did it 6 times except Bernard King did it once too in the 85' 1st Round.

Jordan has a massive 4-5 ppg advantage over everyone in playoff history - all the greatest scorers ever are bunched up at 26-29 ppg, while the GOAT stands alone at 33.5 with better efficiency per possession than anyone that matters (ortg).

And Jordan could win at high scoring levels because his scoring was partially-assisted, which elevates teammate role and allows ball movement (good brand of ball)..

TLDR: MJ needed the least help because he had goat burden ability (scoring ability) AND his brand was sufficient to win at high scoring levels.

He shot 42.5% in his finals career which rounds up to 43%, you lied and said 42%

Thread Cliffs: OP was wrong and caught lying....AGAIN

All that mother****er does is lie.

Wade in 2013 Finals 19.6 = 20ppg

James shoots 39.8% in 2015 Finals = 39%

Kobe needed the most help



Pau before Kobe........... 1x all-star
Bosh before Lebron...... 6x all-star


^^^ Kobe only needed a Bosh-level player at 2nd option, while Lebron needed Bosh at 3rd option

Lebron needs more help because his skillset lacks sufficient brand of ball to beat good teams at high scoring levels (too ball-dominant), and therefore needs all-time scorers at sidekick that can match or lead him in scoring for entire playoff runs (11' Wade, 16' Kyrie, 20' AD)

Otoh, Kobe's high scoring is partially-assisted, which elevates teammate role and ball movement, so he can win at high scoring burden and doesn't need as much help (no all-time scorers needed at sidekick - just Bosh, I mean Pau)

Only 1 guy in 3-pointer history averaged 40+ in a series - MJ did it 6 times except Bernard King did it once too in the 85' 1st Round.

Jordan has a massive 4-5 ppg advantage over everyone in playoff history - all the greatest scorers ever are bunched up at 26-29 ppg, while the GOAT stands alone at 33.5 with better efficiency per possession than anyone that matters (ortg).

And Jordan could win at high scoring levels because his scoring was partially-assisted, which elevates teammate role and allows ball movement (good brand of ball)..

TLDR: MJ needed the least help because he had goat burden ability (scoring ability) AND his brand was sufficient to win at high scoring levels.

Didn't address my question at all.

I at least expected a half-assed goalpost move.

Yes but Kobe won 2 titles with far less help than Lebron ever won with

Kobe won with a secondary scorer like Pau, while Lebron always needed all-time scorers at sidekick that could match him in the Finals or entire playoff runs

Ultimately, Lebron needs more help because his skillset lacks sufficient brand of ball to beat good teams at high scoring levels (too ball-dominant), and therefore needs all-time scorers at sidekick that can match or lead him in scoring for entire playoff runs (11' Wade, 16' Kyrie, 20' AD)

Both Wade and Pau outscored the opposing 1st option in the Finals, but Pau was clearly a secondary scorer, while Wade nearly matched Lebron and is an all-time scorer.. Lebron simply needs juggernaut scoring help and can't win with a secondary scorer like Pau.

Ultimately Lebron needs more help than Kobe because he can't win while carrying the scoring burden like Kobe can...

Specifically, his skillset lacks sufficient brand of ball to beat good teams at high scoring levels (too ball-dominant), and therefore needs all-time scorers at sidekick that can match or lead him in scoring for entire playoff runs (11' Wade, 16' Kyrie, 20' AD)

So that shuts you down and confirms the original point that Pau/Bosh were similar caliber, except Kobe could win with them at 2nd option while Lebron needed them at 3rd.

Lebron can't beat Finals teams while carrying the scoring load (too ball-dominant), so he needs all-time scorers at sidekick to lessen his scoring burden.

Otoh, Curry can beat Finals teams while carrying the scoring load (it's still a good brand of ball), so he can win with secondary scorers like Wiggins

Curry, MJ and other off-ball experts are simply easier to build around because you don't need another #1 to put alongside them like Wade or AD - secondary scorers like Wiggins, Klay or Pippen will do

I will concede that Curry proved me wrong again - I didn't think he would win with Pippen-caliber from Wiggins, and he did exactly that

He won with Pippen trash from Wiggins

That's why I have Curry top 5 - he proved me wrong

Otoh, Lebron never won with Pippen trash from a sidekick because Lebron never had to carry the scoring load in a Finals win - he always had equal-scoring partners (within 5 ppg) to attract equal defensive attention and therefore never defeated maximum defensive attention

I will concede that Curry proved me wrong again - I didn't think he would win with Pippen-caliber from Wiggins, and he did exactly that

He won with Pippen trash from Wiggins

That's why I have Curry top 5 - he proved me wrong

Otoh, Lebron never won with Pippen trash from a sidekick or while defeating maximum defensive attention (carrying scoring load in Finals).. Not being able to defeat maximum defensive attention or carry a weak player like Wiggins proves that he's inferior to Curry

You sure? His GmSc for the series is 14.1. Didn't you say that Pippen never reached '95 finals Peak Horry' capacity because of the 19.0 GmSc?

Curry proved me wrong but this thread also confirms that Curry is superior to Lebron.. Curry won by carrying the scoring load for a secondary producer at sidekick, while Lebron always needed a 1st option all-time scorer that could nearly match his Finals scoring..

So you've said.

2022 Warriors win/lose depending on Wiggins paralleling player's scoring ppg from 30 years ago
2022 Cetlics=90's Bulls....................no wait never mind
Wiggins>Pippen ( who didn't see this one coming?)
Poor reading comprehension
05 Hughes
89 Pippen
09 Mo
95 finals Horry
Criteria
Curry is most overrated ever....I mean top 5 GOAT
Giannis is Pippen-level bum.... I mean top 10 GOAT

Just listing "95' Horry" and other phrases is pretty dumb

To pretend it was some meaningless phrase is low character and means that you couldn't refute it - indeed, Pippen's production never matched 95' Horry in 6 tries!!!

All the other phrases that you listed have similar proof backing them up.... 89' Mo, 05' Hughes, etc

Yes they are dumb, they're your comments. But yes, the essence of 'low character' is pretending some dumb ass comment devoid of context from some jackass on a random message board is meaningless. Thanks, we can add that to the list.

New addition in bold

BTW, Andrew Wiggins production this finals (14.1 GmSc) is lower than peak Pippen finals production. Thanks for playing, kindly head for the nearest cliff.

Maybe I mis-worded the title, but the Warriors needed a minimum of Pippen-caliber from Wiggins to win and they got it (it's a low bar obv)

What's even worse is that some of his disciples fully support him and his crappy views in different threads. Talk about being delusional.
