btw why are you talking about pippen lmao... in this thread?
you have a pathological obsession with that man. Madonna level. While my posts cover a wide diversity of subject matter.
Because I'm a fan of basketball.
[QUOTE=Roundball_Rock;14032148]I forgot to mention you made the same statement in another thread with your "bawkish" account. :lol
That is the beauty of presenting information, not just stats, but evidence of GM, coach, player opinions at the time and reporting at the time: people can decide for themselves. Outside of the army of Jordan stans and their echo chamber, it is obvious what conclusions people are reaching.
It is revealing that Pippen's stock has went [I]up[/I] after the decade long MJ stan crusade to diminish him, which you are a core member of on ISH. There is a reason for that: people can see right through it (like you saying 21/3 APG is GOAT offense; saying 20/6 APG is trash offense).[/QUOTE]
:lol

No way, he doesn't have the ball skills to be a top 5 GOAT.

I can't speak to others but to me you are a very entertaining poster--but not for the reasons your high self-regard tells you. You have no criteria, no thought process. Just ad hoc emotions driving your "analysis."

They say the same stuff almost word for word on different accounts. :lol

Almost all your posts are either directly or indirectly related to your agenda that Kobe>LeBron. Pot calling the kettle black.

Plus it was simply the most salient example of tpols' "approach" backfiring. They put forward dishonest, bad faith arguments and then wonder why they are [I]losing[/I] the battle despite having an online army in every corner of the internet pushing the same each day (with only pockets of resistance, like me and a few others on ISH). People see right through it.
You can't be taken seriously when you say Ewing>LeBron, Giannis isn't good, hype 21 PPG while dissing 20 PPG, say Miller>actual superstars, say Pippen didn't play guard on the Dream Team, say playoff efficiency matters only when convenient to the agenda you referenced, etc.
[QUOTE=tpols;14032087]roundball likes to tally awards and stats... he doesn't have the ability to actually analyze player's games in a vacuum.
I may be a little harsh on giannis, but a lot of people have echoed the same sentiments. even in this thread.
Sometimes, you need a little sprinkle of hate to balance out extreme overreactions like the title of this thread.[/QUOTE]
Are you saying it was OP's fault that he made this thread?
At this point in his career, he has a chance IMO, BUT he will need to have a "go to move or shot" otherwise like Magic and Russell, I would have him in or near the top 10 but not in the top 5... They can carry a team but you can't count on them to deliver in crunch time..
[QUOTE=Roundball_Rock;14032136]Tpols can't even keep his own statements straight. That is what makes you comedy gold--you will say something completely opposite of what you said 10 minutes earlier. Tpols is purely emotionally driven. Saying Giannis sucks, saying Ewing>LeBron are laughable statements that this guy actually thinks is "analysis." :lol
Any fool can make claims, as you prove routinely. I marshal facts to support my claims--which you and your ilk are incapable of doing.
He has played in 34 playoff games and he wasn't even a superstar for several of them. Let's wait and see. MJ and LeBron needed 7 years to make the finals themselves.[/QUOTE]
Yea but look at MJ and LeBron's playoff performances. They were epic. Giannis has been excellent, but he hasn't transcended anything by leaps and bounds the way they did.
Maybe his ceiling. But very few people reach their ceilings.
The ceiling is the roof...

Yeah he needs to back it up in the playoffs. I think he will. If he doesn't, he will wind up a better version of David Robinson legacy wise (basically Robinson with more MVP's). If he becomes a 3+ MVP player that is good company since they put up many great playoff runs. It would be highly unlikely for a player of that caliber to fail to do so over a large sample size.
Get rid of defensive 3 seconds and he might disappear into the ether.
Sure he has, but he didn't even start his journey. There is no chance anybody with less than 3 rings gets in top 5 and Giannis have 0 right now.
Giannis is pretty much a consistent jumpshot away from not being able to do anything with him. Where putting up a wall between him and the rim like Toronto did in 2019 won't matter much. Saying he has top 5 potential is pretty vacuous because a number of players had/have that kind of potential. Like all past and current stars playoff success will validate both his individual greatness as well as his legacy.
