50 players better than Pippen?

[ambchang]

Let me re-phrase that. Most superstars are playing their best ball between 28-32. After that, they take that gradual plunge towards retirement. Pippen on the other hand was a total scrub when he left the Bulls, and he was not old. Just look at his numbers and you'll see.

Well, Pippen hit 33 when he went to Houston.
He also willingly took on a lesser roll on a rockets team with Hakeem and Barkley, and he was still a 14/6/6 guy. I wouldn't call that a total scrub.

His stats didn't even look that bad until he hit 37/38 years old.

He did after all shut down Tim Duncan in game 7.

True. Duncan's measly 41 point 15 rebound performance was unacceptable by any metric.

[Greg Oden]

I think it was evident when he made Duncan miss 2 point blank layups. Or beat him to that loose ball.

How is the Mavs having a dumbass for an owner, self ownage? What are you, 14?

It's self ownage because the Mavs having a dumb ass owner is something that only made it harder for Dirk to reach the finals.

Manu hasn't been an All Star since 2005. Does that mean he's not an "All Star Quality" player anymore?

Yes, it does mean he's not an all star quality player anymore. Next question.

I've heard enough. You are definitely either under the age of 17 or a certifiable idiot.

Let me guess; Goran Dragic IS an All Star quality player, right?

Way to SLIIIIIDE around that little error. I'll refrain from laughing and calling you an idiot though. No need. We all make mistakes.

[Frank Lucas]

I've heard enough.

Says the idiot who still thinks Manu is an all star quality player. In order to be an all star quality player, you need to have more than a 5% chance at making the all star game.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Pippen has 0 final MVP, so i put him behind Hondo, Parker and Billups

There are some real morons on this site.

Says the Knicks fan whose team doesn't have a SINGLE player that the Spurs would even THINK about trading Manu for...

You'll be eating crow when Manu comes back 100% and is dominating the 4th quarter of games. Even the Laker fans admit the Spur they fear the most in the 4th is Manu.

Greg's point is correct. Diop caused him to miss 2 bunnies and beat him to a loose ball.

[Dunc n Dave]

Greg's point is correct. Diop caused him to miss 2 bunnies and beat him to a loose ball.

So being nearby a guy who misses two putbacks and beating him to ONE loose ball = shutting him down?

So if I find a clip of Matt Bonner beating Dirk to a loose ball that means Bonner owns Dirk by your logic? Riiiiiight....

Nice try but no one's buyin' it. People miss tip ins and putback all the time; even the greats. "Holding a guy" to 42pts and 14 rebs doesn't get cancelled out because you beat him to one loose ball and watch as he gets 2 put back attempts. Your buddy said Diop shut down Duncan in game 7. He was wrong.

lol You got butthurt by my comment, but let this one go by?

^therefore he's the best defender of all time.

Pick your battles.

He was being sarcastic, you were not. No need to respond to obvious sarcasm.

If you didn't have for brains, you'd pick it up.

Perhaps if your posts had more depth to them, people would be able to better judge your intelligence (or lack thereof). But that might get in the way of inflating your post count to make yourself feel more "respected" on an internet message board if you gave more than a one sentence reply, right?
Yet you still always find the time to throw a " ing idiot," " for brains," or "dumbass" in at the end? Nice...

Another inspiring one-liner. Soon you'll be at 15,000 posts by Sunday and the ultimate in message board respect.

[LnGrrrR]

So... is Dirk better than Pippen or not?

[Dunc n Dave]

Keep up the one liners. Just 300 more posts to go before you reach message board IMMORTALITY.

Don't let me slow you down by asking you to provide more than 1 sentence takes.
