Lebron surpasses Scottie Pippen as all time forward assists.

We are not worthy

downplaying Scottie to prop up Jordan......oldest trick in the Jordan stanbook

Who did that? Quit your bullshit.

[dunksby]

Nice, I think he has a shot to overtake Magic, eight more seasons with 500 assists and he is there. Although I doubt LeBron plays till 38.

Dumb ****, I'm not trying to downplay Scottie, I was actually propping him up. Pip is one of my favorite players of all time.

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Probably the 2nd GOAT SF.

You really think he's better than Bird already?

Dr J.

3x champion
2x play offs MVP
4x regular season MVP (including a 3peat)
16x all-star
etc

I don't know, going off of accolades I'd say he needs to get at least another ring to be in the convo with Dr. J for GOAT SF. That's just me, doe.

[Prime_Shaq]

dumb as fck tbh.

Who would you take over him?

[lilteapot]

That's a hell of an accomplishment, no other front court player in history has more assists than him? Truly speaks to the type of player Lebron is: he utilizes his strengths on the court perfectly.

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.

Well said, Pip is the best SF of the 90s. Pippen is underrated in this board to be honest. Bulls had the best duo of all time. Is there any other duo in NBA history who are best at their positions during their peak other than MJ and Pippen? None!

[Blue&Orange]

Historic FG% for a perimeter player = layups all the time, rarely shoots from the perimeter.

All time forward assists = ball in hands all the time.


So what's the next worthless bullshit stat?

So what's the next worthless bullshit stat?

Phil Jackson's w/l record as a gm?

[guy]

My guess? Turnovers/Ball Dominance

So is his ball dominance not a legit point? Is that clearly not a reason for him piling up greater totals then those that weren't as ball dominant? It sure is. At the same time, it also has to do with his amazing passing ability and durability.

What else is pretty crazy is that he has legit shot at getting to top 3 in both points and assists. For comparisons sake, the highest assist total player who's also in the top 10 in points is Kobe, and he's currently #30 in assists. That's quite absurd and will likely end up being one of the most unbreakable records in the NBA, and clearly his most unbreakable record if he gets there.

I take Bird over Dr. J every day and twice on Sunday, and Lebron over Dr. J easily too, even if you give DrJ NBA credit for his ABA years. Bird was just a better player, while being hardly able to jump 2" off the floor while Dr J was one of the most athletic ever. Lebron passing Pippen for most SF assists this early in his career really says something too.


If you're building a team Bird = Bran >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dr j
