can jordan contain lebron?

[TheMACHINE]

jordan is unstoppable. plus he would bother lebron enough with mental games, tricks, cheap fouls, etc. jordan was much smarter so i say jordan would win in both offense and defense.

wow

[stretch]

pierce is way ing underrated. but stretch didn't you get upset at me for suggesting he was just as good as dirk a few months back?

This comparison wasn't between Pierce (whom i have always said is massively underrated as well) and Dirk. It was about Pierce and Drexler, dumb .

[stretch]

Pierce has a big mouth, is an overall , and isn't as good as he think he is. But, he's still a beast. He has a great combination of skills, athleticism, and strength. Dude has great upper body strength that gives smaller wings fits. Just like Jordan would have problem guarding a guy like LeBron who would have had about 50 pounds on Jordan, Pierce would have had the strength advantage as well. Pierce runs around 6'7" and 235 lbs., probably heavier than that listed weight too. Jordan, even at 220, would be overmatched because Pierce has good skills and adequate quickness and athleticism at that size. Pierce has been underrated over the years until this season, and all of a sudden he completely overrated himself. But, yeah, I believe he belongs in that discussion of other current great wing players in the league.

I agree, Pierce needs to STFU and just let his play speak for itself. But damn... he is good.

You can argue that they are slightly better than Drexler (though I would not say T-Mac or Pierce are better than Drexler was, or that we will still have to wait and see on Wade), but >>>?

in A', should have expected this kind of bull from you.

Watched the guy play much in his Portland days?

Yes.

[hater]

doesn't need to. Lebron has no chance in on containing Jordan. Jordan would run circles around him

Really? I didn't realize those players are so much better than a HoFer.

I wasn't talking about what you said in relation to Drexler. I'm talking about the fact that you praise Pierce even going to far as to say that "he proved this year that he is an elite player and can play toe-to-toe with the two best players in the game" after scoffing at me suggesting he's equal to Dirk in terms of talent. If he's an elite player and can go toe to toe with the best then how was it so outlandish of me to say Pierce and Dirk are in the same league?

Playing toe-to-toe with some great players doesn't mean you are instantly on the same level. And Dirk is a great player too, easily top 5, IMO top 5.

And you weren't saying they were in the same league. You were saying Pierce is better. You are seriously one of the biggest ing re s on the board. I would actually rather have a debate with Rsxpiimp or Spursdynasty than you, because we all know they are simply trying to be re ed. You on the other hand know better, and are capable of actually having a reasonable conversation, but you choose to be an ignorant re because you are a stupid bandwagoning fan that doesnt know what the he is talking about.

whatever dude, not going to get in a flame war over this, i was asking a legitimate question about why you changed your mind on pierce. I agree Dirk is at least a top 10 player and I think they are pretty close to equal in terms of talent. when this came up i originally said i thought pierce had the slight edge but it was close and either would be a fair choice.

it just made no sense to me that you were praising pierce after scoffing at the thought of him being in the same league as dirk. and i'm not a bandwagoner i've followed the mavs ever since we sucked ass and were a perennial 20 win team, although i was too young to really witness them when they went to the WCF in i think it was 88'.

I think i was more so negative toward your notion simply because it was a dip ted faced liar like you who said it you bandwagon, sucking bulls fan.

It's obvious some of you didn't watch Drexler play. He was a prototypical 2/3 player with a terrific mix of scoring, rebounding and passing - a career 20/6/5.5 guy

Rebounding: Glide has 13 seasons of 6+ RPG, while Pierce and T-Mac have 7 apiece
Passing: Glide has 12 seasons of 5+ APG with a high of 8 APG; Pierce has 1 and T-Mac has 6 seasons of 5+ APG, neither having crossed 6.5 APG ever.
Scoring: While not a volume shooter, his 47% career FGP is well ahead of PP and Tracy
Defense: While not a standout, 2.0 steals a game for an entire career is no mean feat.

He didn't get to the FT line as much Pierce or T-Mac, but then again he played in a more physical era against a lot of great teams. In the 92 playoffs he played some superb ball and averaged 26/7/7 over 21 games.

I'd take him any day of the week over Pierce (1-hit wonder) or T-Mac (injury-riddled 1st round virgin).

[angelbelow]

drexler>pierce>tmac. now thats the truth.

[Obstructed_View]

drexler>pierce>tmac. now thats the truth.

Drexler = Pierce + Tmac. That's the ing truth.

[nash76]

Id take drexler over pierce and tmac.

Guy was a prime talent back in the 90's.

Right now Pierce has the mental edge but lets just wait and see....cos everyone GUNS for the nba champs.

But back to the original topic......hmmmmm i think it would be close but Jordan would take Lebron.....solely on the fact that he has better fundamental skills. Lebron from all the games ive seen of him loves his dribble too much and really it isnt that good...he only gets by people due to his size. Plus he has no post up game at all, and what do you do when you have no post up? you either drive or take jump shots.

Jordan in his prime could do it all, drive, shoot, post up and defend. Look if Kobe can keep up with Lebron on d then surely Jordan in his prime can.

Jordan all the way.
