Agreed. We need to get back to Lebron choking yet again last night with 30/10/8 on 12 of 19 shooting. DUDE MISSED 7 SHOTS!!! Jordan would not have missed 7 shots in that situation!

One question to gauge where you are at.
If you were starting a team with Lebron or Jordan in their prime, who would you take?
And can we please stop braggin about beatiing the Pacers? I dont even think Stephen A Smith could name all of theirs starters. That would be like the bulls braggin back in the day about beating the Hawks or the Wizards or something.
I'd take Jordan obviously. I think a better debate would be Kobe or LeBron.

And you would probably lose in the Finals by less than five points every game.

Any further opinion you give on the matter will be dismissed. Thanks for giving me the heads up.
If you want to talk about overratted, Pippen is on the list. Check out these two on their per 36 minute stats.

don't be afraid to think for yourself there boat.
Was sarcasm intended here? How is 12 of 19 a bad shooting night? How is that choking in a blow out win? 30, 10, 8 are amazing numbers.

What are you trying to prove. Lamar can't carry Pippen's jock strap? Mission accomplished.
Pip was an 8 time NBA 1st team defensive player, 7 time all-star, and 3 time all NBA 1st team, and voted by players, writers, coaches, and GMS as one of the leages 50 greatest players.
LOL.

You are right. Lebron compares better to Pippen than he does to Jordan.

Are you trolling, a huge bulls fan, or really this stupid?
??-- 30.1pts, 6.2reb, 5.3ass
??-- 27.6pts, 7.2reb, 6.9ass
??-- 16.1pts, 6.4reb, 5.2ass
Which career stat lines are most similar
That Cleveland team that went to the finals was one of the worst teams to go to the finals ever. For a majority of the decade from 2000-2010 the NBA was pretty weak. I mean you had teams like the Pistons winning championships and their stars were Richard Hamilton and Chauncy Billups. Nothing against those guys but they are just good players not great. Wade won a championship with an aging Shaq. those years were pretty bad. During the mid to late 80's there were Bird's Celtics, The Pistons with Thomas, the Hawks were pretty good. Ewing and the Knicks, The Cavs had some good players. Lebron's cavs wouldn't have made it out of the first round during those years and might not have made the playoffs.

So you are looking strictly at stats now? Do you think Pippen would have scored more if he was on Cleveland in his prime?
Here is a statline that is just as good as Lebron (and he single handedly took a $#itty team to teh finals in a weak conference like Bron even though he was half the size.)
Through his first 12 seasons
27.8pts, 3.64 reb, 6.4 ast.

No, he was in his prime for the 93-94 season when MJ went and played baseball. He posted a career best scoring average of 22pts per game, a whole 2 points higher than his four year average in the years that sandwhiched that one (along side Jordan).
The comparison of Allen Iverson to Lebron is more laughable than your comparison of Odom to Pippen.

and neither are as lauighable as saying you would take Lebron over Jordan "in a heartbeat."
