Just curious to see the responses: Who is better?

[telespectatorul]

that's a hard one

[gryfyn1]

you are just looking at the numbers

pippens numbers would be better if he wasnt playing next to michael jordan, lebrons numbers are overexagerated from playing on a team were he was the only talent

This arguement falls apart when you look at it.

Pippen got to play two years without Jordan and his number barley improved, only about 1-2 ppg and .5rbg and a loss of about .5asg.

This year with Bosh and Wade on the team Lebron's number are only moving slightly, down about 2-3 PPG,

pippen <3

obviously LJ, Pippen was nothing without MJ

dont like pippen but nothing w/o jordan??

pippen finished 3rd in mvp and led the bulls to 1 awful call away from the conf finals while jordan was striking out in baseball. pippen was named to top 50 greatest of all time and hall of fame on his own merits.

in fact pippens winning % without jordan is much higher than jordans without pippen.

I dont think its ebven close-lebron is way better

[Power Play]

Pippen is a better defender and a slightly better perimeter shooter but just about everything else Lebron by a considerable margin.

With Bird and Kobe it's a lot closer. Until Lebron leads (or at least co-leads) his team to a championship you have to put him a notch behind those two.
