Stop being a little b*tch. It is just a comparison of having 1 all time great player and a wingman who can lessen the defensive burden while running the offense when hes off the floor.
Stop taking it all so literally.

Wiggins would be lucky to reach Harrison Barnes level
Pippen

People are forgetting that Wiggins is more than 10 years younger than Lebron. By the time Wiggins reaches his potential LeBron will be on the downside of his career. If Cleveland can get Love for him they should do it.

I said this the other day. LeBron can finally mold his sidekick, imprint his DNA on Wiggins making him a lesser clone. The same way MJ basically shaped Pippen's game, and career. Both sets of these guys are athletic freaks.

if Lebron is gonna share ball handling duties with someone it's gonna be with the 2-time all-star PG Kyrie Irving, not a rookie barely out of his freshman year of college.

Well it kinda balances out because while Wiggins < Pippen, Bran> MJ so it makes sense overall to compare duos. The skill superiority Pippen has over Wiggins is negated by LeBron being better than MJ

Lebron is more like pippen, all around point forward. Wiggins doesn't have the vision, instincts, or passing skills to be Scottie pippen.

Eventually, I can see that. Lebron might go back to the wing position in the next couple of years and Wiggins if he pans out will switch over to SF where he belongs.

Wiggins LeBron differ's from Pippen Jordon because of the age gap. Scottie also came into the league with an Nba body and still needed time to develop. Jordon pushed him in practice and Pippen became an excellent two way player. I think Wiggins is more like Tmac but maybe a slightly better on defense and not quite as good as Tmac at his peak on offence. Hopefully LeBron does get to play with wiggens for a while though.
