Colin Cowherd "Wade is better than Pippen"

[Dro]

He just said this on his show...Agree or disagree? He's comparing the 72 win Bulls to this year's Heat team...

[TylerOO]

Definitely.

[Teanett]

they're both pretty good. maybe he's right.

[plowking]

Yes. Way better. Its unquestionable.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Well lets see....

One player had the best Finals series in NBA history. Leading a team of role players and a past-prime Shaq to a title without HCA.

The other one didn't do that.

Pippen for the most part is very underrated. Overrated if you are debating with 97 bulls But Wade is a franchise player and he proved it already by leading Miami to a title.

He's not underrated at all anymore. People have been pointing out for years how underrated Scottie Pippen is to the point that he's been overrated.

With that said, if we're talking about 96 Pippen vs. 13 Wade, I'd probably take Pippen at least due to the fact that I feel at this point of Wade's career, its pretty much a given that he can at anytime be limited by some injury. Feels like its happened at some point of the year every year since that 06 title. At full strength though, like right now, I'd say he's better then Pippen, but I'd rather have Pippen if I have Jordan, and I'd rather have Wade if I have Lebron because they are better complements for them.

thanks captain obvious. Wade shits on Pippen.

It's hardly as great a disparity as people are suggesting.


And Wade isn't having a better season than Pippen had in 95/96.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Save for Wade's rookie year (and '08, where he missed half the season), dude has ALWAYS been the better player. It's not all that close either.

What "guy" said is true, though. Depending on the teams makeup, you may want to go w/ Scottie and vice versa.

Yes he is. If not for the rough start because of his knee this wouldn't even be a discussion. The past 3 months Wade's been a monster, playing at a level that Pippen just couldn't do.

Yea, no. Pippen was a top 3 player during the two years Jordan was gone and those seasons were absolutely better than what Wade has been this season.


Wade is not one of the 4 best guards of the season.

Valid points. I'd argue that Wade is closer to Jordan in playstyle than Pippen, but I'm sure this is more a comparison of "sidekicks" than overall game.

Miami fans all came to this thread.
