Jordan/Pippen vs. James/Wade

Uh, Kobe never played for the Suns. Unless you're talking about him getting drafted by them?

 

Holy shit.

 

What Kobe did against Phoenix is not nearly as bad as what Pippen did in Game 3 of the 1994 playoffs against the Knicks. It's not even close.

 

I think he's talking about Kobe refusing to shoot in the second half of Game 7 against the Suns in 2006, which touched off all sorts of "Kobe tanked" talk, including from Barkley. (Teh Google says Kobe had 23 points and the Lakers trailed by 15 at halftime, then he took all of three shots in the second half and scored one point.)

 

Yeah, Kobe tanking an elimination game isn't nearly as bad as Pippen sitting in the final seconds of a game the Bulls won. Not even close.

And I'm not even going to respond to Dick anymore. He's intentionally being wrong, just to prove whatever point he has swimming around in that head of his.

 

Well, yeah.

Also, Bryant got drafted by the Hornets, not the Suns, and then traded to the Lakers.

 

You're being a douche

 

You've got to be kidding me.

 

It's a gift he has.

 

I can't wrap my head around the statement that Pippen wasn't "quick" enough to guard Wade. Who do you think guarded MJ in practice for 10 years?

The comparrison here isn't a game of 2 on 2 btw. It's who is the more dynamic duo.

Pippen is probaly the best help defender in the last 30 years, for what it's worth. That's a big part of the game too.

 

Pippen learned help defense from Adolph Rupp at Kentucky.

 

I don't know how old you are, but Adolph Rupp coached at Gonzaga.
