Scottie Pippen Says He Would Take TD Over LeBron

[Down Under]

It's funny how these arguments get blown up then fizzle down once players fall away. There were several players who had Kobe top 5 all time after 2010 finals, then by his retirement, most have him out of the Top 10. LeBron was the 2nd best player of all time last year, now he's fallen away as he's stopped trying & his team has also.

Did you actually watch him? Because I did. He was a monster. His death had an incredible impact on the league. Adding him to the aging Cetic's lineup would have rejuvenated them and enabled them to compete for years. His passing tanked that franchise with league-wide consequences. Len Bias... wow!

When you think about the fact that Bird was dominating the league without having one athletic teammate, and then you add Len Bias? Saddest day ever for the league.

Too bad Scottie is way past his prime because he is someone we could use at the 3. Hopefully we can get us an athletic 3 & D via trade or the draft next season.

Not enough 3pt shooting on that team.

If you're building a team to stop today's best teams, you have to probably have some of today's best players.

[Thomas82]

Every one should.

TD carried you to 17 straights 50-win season in the West; Lebron is about to miss the in Playoffs in his first attempt..

Yeah, this would be LeBron's 2nd time missing the playoffs. He missed them in his rookie year.

Scottie is a bum, always changes his mind when someone gives him a dollar.

Different eras are nearly impossible to compare. Bill Russell was the most successful player in the history of the NBA, but he's rarely picked now as a top 5. But in a modern switching defense against a great three point shooting small ball team, he'd be much better than Shaq. If Nash or Bird were playing today, they'd almost definitely double the amount of threes they'd take, which would change their entire approach to the game. If Curry or Harden played in 1965, lots of their hesitation crossover moves and step backs would be whistled as travels, and not be allowed.

crossovers were around in 65, they just didn't allow the constant palming, double dribbling, and traveling. It's bad when kids are online saying, "how am I supposed to crossover without putting my hands under the ball?". (no I'm not making this up). It's the way they are being taught and refs even in high school are refusing to call it today.
