No, its how **** you are with it. Its like if I were to say pippen avg 22.2 ppg in 94, you go out of you way to correct me and say he avg "only" 22. And its not just this comparison, its any pippen/insert player comparison. Would you say the gap between gasol and pippen is similar to the gap between kobe and jordan? Cuz I think so.

I don't know how Gyno can call Gasol underrated in Memphis and a hidden gem when he thinks of Chris Bosh as nothing more than a Paul Millsap type of player.

I do think the Pippen/Gasol comparisons are fair, with a slight edge towards Pippen. It'd be really interesting to see Gasol lead the Lakers without Kobe (for a year, not a stretch of 5 games).
