    Lebron would have taken home a bronze medal -- oh wait, he already did.

    Are you familiar how Jordan and Pippen treated Kukoc in the 1992 Olympics?

    LeBron would have taken him out to dinner. Slapped ass and danced on the court.

    Nope, Larry Brown wouldn't play him. He played Jim heavy minutes though. Results? See for yourself


    Just a reminder, Jim has a Bronze Medal and Kobe has two Gold Medals

    Bron was 19 in the 2004 Olympics. Jim was a 28 year old 1.61× champion. That's HIS Bronze Medal

    Friendly reminder. 1999 le counts for 0.61%. Why? They only played 50 games. 50÷82=0.61

    So basically Pippen was an insecure bully, that’s not better

    Backfired in 94 playoffs when Kukoc took and made that last shot instead of Pippen against the Knicks

    We are pretty much on the same page on this topic.

    Ranking of players is largely around narratives, which is why Knicks and Lakers players get massively overrated In general as they have the most fans in the media.

    Imagine an entire free press doing for you what Kenny smith is doing for Hakeem.

    I mean, look at Willis reed. Love that guy, but in most subjective measures he’s barely a top 50 player and he’s being treated as a top ten Center of all time. Ewing is regularly ranked along Hakeem and Robinson yet both are clearly better than him. Earl Monroe is some wizard with the ball and yet he’s nothing better than Dave bing.

    Kareem had his best years with the bucks but the history books wrote him up as a Laker. Magic isn’t equal as bird but he’s ranked as better than him. Kobe isn’t even top 15 but he’s ranked alongside Lebron (solid top 3) and Duncan (top 5 or 6). Worthy better than nique? Shaq was consensus too 5 before he started his feud with Kobe publicly at which point the laker friendly press tried to give Kobe more credit (and thus shaq less) for that three peat (refs never go their due).

    Players from smaller markets (duncan, moses, Stockton, Robinson, Rick Barry) gets underrated daily. , Hakeem wasn’t on the radar until Kenny smith goes on a personal crusade to deify him.
    Agreed about marketing
    Hakeem was unbelievable, Jordan admitted he was glad Houston didn’t come out of the WCF during the early 90s
    Bird was clearly better than Magic, but narrative narrative and Magic was also a charismatic star in Hollywood

    90s NBA defenders
    WTF is this
    Is that an All Star Weekend celebrity game where Jordan was matched up against some actors?

    What is donkey talking about? Jordan averaged 37.1 ppg wo Pippen.

    Donkey went from the best defensive player ever to a role player who can’t slow down some emo instagrammer.

    I beat my compe ion. LeBron joined his.
    You couldn't be bothered to win more than one playoff game in 10 chances until Pippen came around. Once Pippen came around that still was not enough to win it all, you had to wait until the Pistons and Celtics aged out of contention.

    LeBron’s East was an absolute cakewalk. Until Boston traded for Garnett. Then LeBron joined his compe ion at the first sign of adversity. I mean it’s a pattern. With Miami. With the Lakers. Interestingly enough, missed the playoffs the first year he wasn’t in the East. Beta.

    LeBron STILL lost two finals series with Bosh and Wade. The Dallas series being the most egregious

    To be fair, the teams he lost to would have swept the Bulls

    35 year old Mario Elie was gonna slow down the defending scoring champ and MVP?

    3 of the Spurs starters were out of the NBA within 2 seasons. You wouldn't have gotten Kerr either
    Jordan is going to get his, but who's gonna slow down near prime Admiral and 23-year old Timmy?
