Re: Scottie Pippen on LeBron/Jordan
Thanks for posting. Interesting stuff from Scottie. Only player I'd take over current James (assuming he keeps this up for the rest of the season and playoffs) is peak Jordan.

Pipped took a little jab at Lebron's mentality.

Where?
Re: Scottie Pippen on LeBron/Jordan
He's jumping the gun, he's still not there yet.
His game still isn't as refined on the offensive end (not close), and he's still behind on other aspects.
But as I said on another thread, once he figures things out he may have a legit shot. Until then, he's still steps behind him.

Paragraphs 5 6 & 7
Re: Scottie Pippen on LeBron/Jordan
LeBron was an 18 yrs.old NBA rookie while Jordan played 4 years in College. LBJ is going to be a top 6-8 player of all time if he wins his 4th MVP, and 2nd Finals MVP this season.

I don't think he'll ever be quite as good as Jordan but we'll see he's just 28...

Where do you have him right now and where would you put him if he wins mvp and fmvp on a run similar to last year? Just curious..
Re: Scottie Pippen on LeBron/Jordan
I'm neither a LeBron nor Kobe guy, but isn't ranking either guy difficult at this point in time? Neither is retired, so their careers aren't set in stone. If you heavily weight prime/peak you could place Kobe, but LeBron's isn't finished yet (meaning to do so, you either have to underrate him by rating him to date, or potentially overrate him by projecting his career out).
If you're going with a single season comparison you could use any of the last few of LeBron's seasons, but to use this season you again run into the problem above.
