The Blue Board

Pippen is the dumbass of the week

What did Desmond say? I'm sure it would be hard to surpass what Pippen said. He didn't say Lebron could be the best player ever. He said he IS. Lebron hasn't won anything and he's the best ever. That's just stupid.

I will always listen to what Scottie Pippen has to say. He is one of the top 50 greatest players ever and when he says something it's worth listening too. But, I find it rather amusing that the guy who played with and won 6 titles with a dominant shooting guard would say that a guy with no rings is the best ever. I have yet to find a list of top 10 players in NBA history that has someone listed with 0 titles.

If someone other than Pippen had said this, most people would just laugh and move on. But Pippen played with MJ and he should know better than anyone how great MJ was.

Lebron is not in the ballpark right now.

Pretty weird move by Pippen but he is still cool.

I thought he said he could be the best player ever. Not is the best player.

" 'Is Denard Robinson going to stay or leave?' I'm like, 'Hey, if the kid wants to go, don't let the door hit you on the way out. You looked fantastic for five games against nobody. That's what you did.' I'm not going to deny his talents, but, 'You ain't won nothing in Ann Arbor, son! Not so much we need to worry about if you're going to be here next year or not.' "

Pretty much attacked Robinson for no reason.

This makes me think back to what MJ and Charles said,tho Charles has never won a tittle,MJ has never ever had to join forces with another elite superstar in hopes to win a tittle.

No idea.

I don't really care what they say (it's their opinion afterall), but to try and single out the most humble of the players and try to portray him as a me-first guy is just wrong. Robinson is nothing but a team player and even rallied around Forcier when Forcier was the starter and was struggling.

No official reports are out yet, but I am hearing suicide because of a girl.

He actually said "may be" which I guess is close to "might be". By him not saying "may be at the end of his career" he made it sound as if he is already saying LBJ is the best player.

Jordan went 6-0 in championship games. LBJ is 0-1. I think LBJ can jump into the Top 5 but I don't think he will be the best ever at the end of his career.

I agree with your last statement and I think all of us would agree that LBJ needs to at least match the 6 rings or maybe more to at least be in the discussion. For me, he would have to anyways.

Here is the exact quote made:

"Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to play the game," Pippen said Friday on "Mike & Mike In The Morning" on ESPN Radio. "But I may go as far as to say LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game because he is so potent offensively that not only can he score at will but he keeps everybody involved.

Apparently someone agrees that Lebron is the greatest since they gave a downvote. lol

It's completely subjective but it's funny how fast it's dismissed by a bunch of message board guys who's played with neither or was in grade school when one of them played! Not saying either was better than the other but I'd believe Pippen before einstein. That's just me though!
