I'll start by saying, I love scottie pippen. As a fan of the Michael Jordan led Bulls, I always loved Scottie's abilities, defensive presence and Jordan's deputy status. Of course, I knew who that MJ was the greatest, on that team, and overall.
So when Scottie spouted off about Michael may be the greatest scorer of all time, but that Lebron may end up being the best all around player of all time, I was disgusted. Scottie should know better. He saw superman up close and personal. He saw that Jordan's skill, drive, competitive spirit etc. is second to none. Jordan was a monster on offense and a monster on defense. He took entire teams of bums (jud buechler? wilt perdue? pete myers? i could go on and on) and made them champions.
Lebron is nowhere close. He hasnt made his teammates better, in cleveland or in miami. Hes not a monster on defense. And he couldnt win where he was, he had to leave cleveland and join a team with better players for a shot to win. So Scottie and all others, shut the fuck up with the Lebron is or could be better than Jordan. Him trying to join a franchise that is trying to 'buy' a championship puts a full stop on any discussions about his greatness, now or in the future.
Then, along comes Kareem to educate Scottie about how MJ is not the greatest scorer. He believes that honor belongs to fossils like Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain. Fucking seriously? Those tall fossils played against a bunch of little boys and sat under the basket and threw the ball into Bozo's bucket number 1. Get a life Kareem.
All that being said, MAVS in 6 over the Heat. Get some!
LEBRON WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE GOAT, HOW YA'LL LIKING GAME 3 OF THE FINALS LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteLeave MJ out of all this mess I blame Scottie for opening this unnecessary can of worms. Seriously though and open letter Kareem. Its mentioned for ever that MJ is considered by many to be the GOAT, how come Kareem just now poppin off. Also bringing in Wilt is odd since he's been dead for years, and both he and Kareem hated each other, and wasnt singing either's praises. Thats the thing about MJ is in all these debates he's never said himself of being the GOAT because he never played against Kareem,Russell,Oscar,Jerry West. Also his career stands on its own anyway. To me watching the game for 30 years plus Air Jordan is the greatest to ever play, but others can disagree but, I'm only excepting Kareem and Wilt along with him in the GOAT discussion. Go Mavs.
ReplyDeleteFuck the Mavs
ReplyDeletetell them why u mad kareem!!!!!! they better recognize and never outlook greatness!!! anyway i got the HEAT in six! well maybe five. but either way they winning. so glad lebron gonna be a champion.
ReplyDeleteGoing with the heat! Good to see your blog is up again.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Jessica! My blog wasnt working for quite some time, but I am back. I still believe - Mavs in 6, of course that will not be possible if they screw it up tonight.
ReplyDeleteLeBron James traded in his MJ card when he left Cleveland. Now let go mavs.
ReplyDeleteDirk
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Miami made it to the finals speaks well of the team. Get them next year Heat! Cinny ain't never gonna get there at least not in this century and that's a long way to go before the next one. The Mavs are just not a marquee team.
ReplyDeleteYou got lucky. Get them next year Heat!! Much love in this corner.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Lebron realizes that some if the people who were "glad to see him lose", are as rich and/or richer than he is. All of the money in the world can't buy him a championship, he has to earn it. God didn't think it was he time, because he is still not humble, with all that he has been given, talent included. He has natural god given talent that he takes for granted. He needed this loss for his personal growth. He will be a better human being, not player, because he sees himself as above others, i.e, his comments. He stated that he has always won, all of his life. That makes for a very one dimensional person. You could see D. Wade cringe, when Lebron made the comment of people waking up to their same lives. Oh well, better luck next year
