Shaq/Dirk or Jordan/LeBron?

a kick in the nuts or a punch in the face, which beating would you like before your ridiculous troll thread gets closed?

I'd take Jordan/Lebron, but only after Lebron goes to Jordan's post-game camp, so he can learn an advanced post game and be a REAL power-forward and big man, not just be listed as one.

Perhaps true, but the hate is palpable sir.

Shaq/Dirk would be better.

shaq/dirk

If we took MJ in 1984 and dropped him on the Cavs in 2003 with Lebron...I could honestly see that duo winning every single year after 2005. There is just absolutely nobody that can top that. Not the mid 2000s Pistons, not any of the Spurs teams, not the repeat Lakers, not Dirk's Mavs, not the 2008 Celtics, absolutely no team in this era could handle that duo in a 7 game series until they start declining in their mid to late 30s and/or one of them gets severely injured. We're talking Bill Russell's Celtics level of rape on the league.

Shaq and Dirk would obviously win a bunch of rings..but I can count on Shaq being a fatass for at least a third of his career, even moreso if this is a situation without Phil to motivate and push him. And whatever advantage they may have in fit is completely negated by both of them being inferior players, Shaq to MJ and Dirk obviously to Lebron.

If Lebron would get back defensively and won't cry and and flop after a turnover or block that often result to fastbreak then I choose them plus lebron should learn how to box-out and has to improve his off the ball offense. If not, then I chose dirk and shaq.

So basically any version of LeBron?

Probably not, but Lebron could carry Jordan.

Pippen was a better fit alongside Jordan than LeBron would be.

But you still never go against Jordan, so I'll say Jordan/LeBron.

[Milbuck]

Pippen was a better fit alongside Jordan than LeBron would be.

How exactly? They'd both play a point-forward role, except Lebron is better at pretty much everything offensively while being bigger, faster, stronger, and all around more physically gifted.

Defensively their trapping defense probably won't be as good as it was with Pippen..but honestly, you never know. A lot of Jordan's intensity and effort rubbed off on Pippen as he was developing as a player. If it does for Lebron, who knows how good Bron/MJ could be defensively..

Pippen is miles better of a defender than LeBron is. And I ain't about to speculate about intensity rubbing off on other people. To me thats either something you have or don't. And while he is a good point forward is also better at working off ball and wouldn't stall ball movement like LeBron likely would.

Pippen is underrated on here. People should look at what he did the year Jordan was playing baseball.

Jordan never won anything without Pippen.
