Lebron surpasses Scottie Pippen as all time forward assists.

[Roundball_Rock]

took him about 300 games less than Scottie as well.

Pip spent most of his career in the triangle, which deflates assist numbers. LeBron is the better passer, though.

Pippen was better than any version of Worthy and "peak" Grant Hill, sadly, does not exist. Pippen clearly was better than Hill in 96'. I assume you meant 97' on? Pippen was the best SF in the game from 1992-1996 and had a case in 97'.

All-time the only SF's above Pippen are LeBron, Bird, Baylor, Dr.J, Barry and maybe Hondo.

Well obviously he isn't the best all-time, we're talking 1990-1998 here. There wasn't a single SF that had the combination of size, shooting, play-making ability, post offense and most of all DEFENSE of Pippen in 1990-1998.

Just forwards? lol... Lebron has right now more assists than any non-PG ever.... everybody above him on the assist list right now are all Point-Guard's.

wow if this really is true this just proves lebron is the most unselfish goat in nba history.

:

He is, but as you suggest outside the triangle, Pip could have been an 8 apg type guy himself, he had the mentality and playmaking ability for it. The main difference is Lebron has the epic scoring ability which Pip lacked( though a fine scorer in his own right, of course)....

Agreed. That small disparity is the difference between being top 20-25 all-time and being a player who will finish top 5-10 all-time.

That's crazy. If there's anything I respect about LeBron, it's his passing. He makes crazy cross-court passes that no one else in the league can make look effortless.
