NBA: Beta Males showdown : Pippen vs Kobe... and the winner is ....

[lefty]

NBA les as beta male:

- Pippen : 6
- Kobe :5


Who won les in a tougher era :

- Pippen

Better defensive player :

- Pippen

Better playmaker :

- Pippen

Better scorer :

- Kobe, but that's because he jacks up shots left and right; if Pippen was a chucker, he would have averaged 30 ppg TBH; plus, Pippen didnt have a dominating big in Chicago; he could have been more wide open if he had one

Who played in the best USA basketball team ever ... well the greatest basketball team period :

- Pippen

Better Beta male when there was no Alpha male around :

- Pippen : in 93-94, when Jordan couldn't hit a baseball, he led a bunch of scrubs to 55 wins, and they came close to make it to the ECF in a tough and physical EC .... whereas Kobe ... do I need to elaborate ?





The Winnar :

Not a fair comparison - Kirby is a gamma at best, tbh....

[Arnold Toht]

Pretty sure Scotty couldn't do this:

[Arnold Toht]

Dirk 1

Dirk: 1 finals victory over the big 3 Heat

[lefty]

Pretty sure Scotty couldn't do this:

Sure Kobe cant win without a dominating big

[Arnold Toht]

Sure Kobe cant win without a dominating big

And Pippen could win without the GOAT?

[lefty]

Of course not

But as far as betamaling, Pippen wins

[Arnold Toht]

^ which means Kobe is an alpha male spuds

[lefty]

dat logic

[Clipper Nation]

At least Kirby outdoes Pippen in quits:::

Pippen: 1

Kirby: 3 & counting

[lefty]

At least Kirby outdoes Pippen in quits:::

Pippen: 1

Kirby: 3 & counting

And Pippen had a migraine

Kobe quitperiod without any migraine or injury

[Rogue]

Kobe, without a superstar playing alongside his ass, is as much of a virgin to the 2nd round as T-Mac (He's still a 2nd round virgin technically, since he didn't play at all in the series vs. the warriors), and as Rogue is in his personal life.

[Michael Jordan.]

My Rogue droppin troofbombs.

[Michael Jordan.]

At least Kirby outdoes Pippen in quits:::

Pippen: 1

Kirby: 3 & counting

Actually 5 quits. Quit on Charlotte, then the 3 years he couldn't make it out the 1st with no dominant big, then game 6 in 2008.

[Michael Jordan.]

[Arnold Toht]

^ Kobe was thinkin' 2>1

[lefty]

Lol he wants to rape the trophy ...


But srsly, Kobe is sitting behind Shaq



Here, Pippen is not sitting behind MJ :

[DMC]

I made this comparison already. If Pippen had won 2 finals MVPs after Jordan retired, ended up with 8 rings, he's still not top 5 all time. How then is a 3 less le having same 2 Finals MVP winning Kobe Bryant considered top 5 by laker ?
