Mj and pip vs bron and kobe who wins?

[Bronbron23]

The question was brought up on first take. Is this even a question? Bron and kobe would win fairly easy imo. Mj and pip would be slightly better defensively but bron and kobe would have a significant advantage on offense. Kobe and bron are only a tic behind mj offensively but they're both way better than pip. I mean kobe is basically mj and bron is pip gone super sayin. Does anyone think mj and pip have a chance?

[SouBeachTalents]

Kobe is absolutely not basically Jordan :lol And yeah, I would go with LeBron/Kobe in this scenario, but you acting like it's an outrage to pick a player considered the GOAT & Pippen, a duo that won 6 titles together, is pretty weird

[Ben Simmons]

Strange debate. Lebron and Kobe obviously

[2ball]

Probably LeBron and Kobe. But Kobe could easily shoot them out of the game

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Like 2-on-2 or as the core of a team?

Well he played alot like mj. Mj was obviously better but its not like its not close.

[tpols]

The gap between Lebron and Pippen vs MJ and Kobe is simply massive. But Kobe and Lebron were number 1 and number 2 in the league when their primes intersected. Pippen was never even close to being number 2 with MJ. It would be like giving Jordan Hakeem or Shaq.

Core of the team. So i guess if the supporting cast is equal. I know mj is better than kobe because he had a better career but i do think head to head kobe would give mj a go. It would almost be a wash. On the other end lebron is significantly better than pip. He does everything pip does offensively but better. Pip was a better defender though. I guess it depends on if pip can defend bron. In the the past its been long athletic defenders thats given bron some trouble so maybe it be closer than i initially thought. I just think bron and kobe together would be an offensive nightmare. Even for mj and pip.

Pippen better defender than all 4

[ImKobe]

Kobe and Bron, Kobe torches Pip and defends MJ, Lebron outplays Pip if we do H2H, they're a better scoring duo as well.

I would absolutely take Kobe and LeBron in that case. I get like 15 years of both being all-nba caliber at the same time.

Kobe and Bron, Kobe torches Pip and defends MJ, Lebron outplays Pip.

LeBron would have to guard MJ at times like he had to guard Murray AND Jokic. LeBron is the ultimate Swiss Army knife. He would guard MJ and force Pippen to shoot. Game over

Nah, Kobe is a better option to defend Jordan, he would demand that challenge and Lebron would be forced to agree on it, though both would do a decent job all things considered. The key to them being a better duo is their offense though, whether we look at is as 2 v 2 or building a team around the 2. Pippen simply isn't nearly as good as Kobe & Lebron offensively.

Nah LeBron is the better matchup. LeBron routinely locks up small and quicker players than MJ

[AlternativeAcc.]

Well, Pip and Kobe are essentially a wash.


So lebrons edge over Jordan gives the lebron/Kobe duo the advantage.

[goozeman]

Just give Jordan Barkley or a better offensive player than Pippen to make it fair. Pippen ain't stopping anybody one-on-one or two-on-two. Go watch NBA players warm up in 1-v-1 drills. Offensive players usually score because if they can work their defender as much as they want. Pippen's man defense will not help at all and he's not near the offensive player as the other three.

Give LeBron Pippen and MJ Kobe and LeBron still wins

Lol, okay. Good one.

[light]

The answer is whoever has LeBron.

Lebron has never had to check anyone with the combination of athleticism, skill and drive like mj. A much worse version of mj in all areas just had an atg series against lebron. Kobe would definitely be the one checking mj.

[imdaman99]

Pippen was the perfect number 2 to MJ but that's because they had chemistry. Lebron and Kobe who knows who would be the 1st option. But I have a feeling if they played together they would figure it out. Going with Kobe and Lebron easily.

[And1AllDay]

+1

[Bronbron23]

That would sound good if lebron hasn't loss as much as he has. if bron and wade cant beat dirk and terry literally any decent duo has a chance at a win against bron.

[Axe]

If scoring is going to be top priority, then it's already obvious which duo is more viable.

[SATAN]

+1

+2

[RoundMoundOfReb]

+2

+3

[Bawkish]

Pip is an offensive liability so MJ would carry the load

Though Pip is a great defender, a great offensive players like Kobe & Bron would always win in every possible matchup against him

[baudkarma]

Probably Bron and Kobe, thought Jordan/Pip could get the win if Jordans trash talk manages to get inside LeBrons head. Because you know Michael would be running his mouth nonstop.
