LMAO at Van Gundy saying Scottie Pippen is not a Hall of Famer

[dafunkphenom]

Kobe and Lebron would win just because you can't compare today's athleticism with the early 90's. Back then a 6'9 260lbs man would be a lumbering Power Forward. They never scene any guy that size like Lebron. Face it, athletes have progressed alot in the last 15 years.

Put it this way, Lebron is the size of Karl Malone. Compare the athletic differences. Just the speed difference alone is shocking.

As years go by are people really starting to forget more and more of how phenomenal Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were?!.. are people that brainwashed by today's media hype over todays players??

its a scary thought 10 years from now on how underrated jordan and pippen would be on boards!

[darabzarrabi]

he said he wasn't sure if Pippen was a Hall of Famer...and to those of you who think you know more about basketball than him, get off mount pious.

[Indian guy]

Why ?

Jordan and Pippen were better defenders.

As a defender you can only do so much 1-on-1 against an elite offensive player. The guy with the ball will have his way most of the time. Especially with no help D involved. I'm picking Kobe/LeBron because you have 1 of the 3 greatest offensive playres of ALL TIME in Kobe, and another great scorer in LeBron. In MJ and Pippen you have the GOAT, and merely a good scorer in Pip. MJ/Pip's defensive edge isn't enough to overcome Kobe/LeBron's offensive edge. And it's not like Kobe/LeBron aren't very good defensively themselves.

I would put scottie on on him.

[White Chocolate]

Damn boy has lost his mind. You could tell by those giant bags under his eyes.

Repped.


And Scottie Pippen is a HOF because he's the greatest SF Defender in NBA History.

[bruceblitz]

Even worse yet, Van Gundy and Mark Jackson went on to claim that Kobe and LeBron could beat Pippen and Jordan in a 2 on 2 game.

Now first of all is that even a fair comparison? Hell no it isn't.

Take 2 different players from 2 different teams and compare them to 2 guys who were drafted by the same team. Just another way of trying to bury the Jordan legacy.

**** NBA announcers.

**** em.

How about this one? Jordan and Hakeem against any 2 players from this era you want to line up. Yeah, I like that comparison.

The only thing that's improved in the last 15 years is doping.

[GOBB]

I thought when Mark Jackson asked him "Answer the question yes or no" his point was "I dont know". When Mark Jackson mentioned that he was selected as one of the 50 greatest players he implied that there were people who were voted he didnt agree with. Ontop of the fact that todays players some of them would make it so you gotta take out/add. For example Bron James would make it thus you must now take one off.

I didnt hear him say Pippen was not moreso that he didnt know. Mark Jackson said he was a lock, no debate.

[dnyk1337]

MJ would beat Kobe and LeBron alone in a 2v1. You don't take God's name in vain kids. When people mention the basketball Gods, they mean MJ with minor roles by Magic/Bird/Kareem.

[dafunkphenom]

Yes he is, They are both around 6'9 260lbs. That's how insane Lebron's athleticism is.

[oh the horror]

Okay people do you see where this "era vs era" talk has gotten us?


We cant compare todays athleticism with the early 90s?????????


COME ON PEOPLE IT WASNT THAT GOD DAMN LONG AGO!

[bruceblitz]

Why are you people so damn stupid when comparing eras?

OK, SO IF YOU ARE THE TYPE OF FAN WHO THINKS PLAYERS TODAY ARE BIGGER FASTER STRONGER. THAT MEANS THEY WERE BORN LATER THAN THE PLAYERS OF OLD? AM I CORRECT?

SO, FOLLOW ME HERE, THE LEAGUE'S TALLEST YEAR FOR AVERAGE HEIGHT WAS IN 1987.
You can see the statistics right here on the bottom left of this link:
http://www.nba.com/news/survey_2007.html

Players weigh more now.

SO, IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE THAT THINKS PLAYERS TODAY ARE STRONGER AND FASTER, [COLOR="Red"]THAT MEANS IF PLAYERS FROM THE OLD SCHOOL WERE BORN AT THE SAME TIME AS PLAYERS TODAY, THEY WOULD BE BIGGER, FASTER, AND STRONGER TOO[/COLOR],[COLOR="Blue"] AM I NOT CORRECT[/COLOR]?

Discrediting the players of the old school is retarded.

Imagine Jerry West with the athleticism of a Brent Barry(in his prime)

Get the **** out of here with this bull ****.

Jordan and Pippen would school those two.

Also, quit acting like the athletes of Jordan's era were bums.

USE YOUR HEAD!

You're an idiot if you think player's athleticism hasn't gotten better over time.
