And the counter point to Jordan having such a great team. That starting lineup he played with the second three peat consisted of 3 absolute liabilities on offense.

And as for Pippin and Kyrie. Pippin was in fact a much better player. But it was as a two way that set himself apart. Kyrie has a stronger offensive skillset then Pippin ever did

How many championships did Wade win without LeBron?
LOLLLLL

1. With a dominant Shaq as his running mate and one of the greatest coaches in NBA history on the sidelines. Against a Mavericks team that choked their brains out (just like they did vs the #8 seed Warriors as the #1 seed a year later).

Is this the fun part of the program where MJ Stans have to pretend Scottie Pippen wasn't an all-time GREAT all-around player? Goodie!!!

Defense wins championships. Pippen was one of the best defensive wings EVER.

Kyrie has always been a pathetic defender and couldn't even make the playoffs in Cleveland before LeBron arrived. Pippen led the Bulls to 55 wins without MJ.

Doesnt have anything to do with my point about MJ playing in a starting lineup 3 utter offensive liabilities during his second 3 peat

Uh, so what is your point? That team was stacked beyond belief. LOL.

Remind me, how good were Pippen and Rodman defensively? Like, among the very best defenders the game has ever seen? How many rebounds/game did Rodman pull down again? Yeah, he was such an "offensive liability" while he's getting MJ/Pippen 2nd and 3rd shots after misses.

Even Kukoc was a 6th Man of the Year!

The point was the 3 starters on Jordans second 3 peat were complete liabilities offensively

Rodman was an absolute monster on the glass, and Kukoc may not have been a starter but he was a fantastic offensive player off the bench.

LOL trying to slam the '96-98 Bulls supporting cast is about the weakest argument for MJ over LeBron I've ever seen. Wow.

MJ's coach during his 6 titles was pretty good too, in case you forgot. LeBron won a title with the clueless Tyronn Lue vs the 73-9 Warriors. Because LeBron's the greatest player of all-time.

Oh, I guess you weren't including the super team LeBron had to form with Wade and Bosh to start winning championships.

It's ironic these insufferable new era fanbois have memory issues.
He pretty much outs himself right here as someone who didnt start watching basketball until well after Jordans career was over. Anyone who watched Jordan play is "Get off my lawn" about Lebron

The LeBron denial from old school B-ball fans is simply adorable. GOAT.

Lol. Rodman had no game offensively and gave no right minded coach any reason to defend him. Same as Longley and Harper. All the offense funnelled to Jordan with Pippen providing some relief and Kukoc for periods at a great defensive expense. Anyone watched those Bulls teams knows this

No, that's only closed-minded old-timers like you.

Scottie Pippen and Isiah Thomas both say LeBron was better. Oops!

If you dont know that Isiah Thomas has an ulterior motive to say Lebron was better, then you havent been around long enough to actually see Jordan play

LOL excuses.

Isiah had previously said MJ was better. So the axe he had to grind clearly didn't keep him from being realistic.

And what about Scottie??? Did he have beef with MJ too??? LOLLLL

"Anyone who watched Jordan play is "Get off my lawn" about Lebron"

Anyone except the Hall of Famer who won 6 titles with him, I guess.

Lol I referencing you calling people who watched Jordan " Old School Bball" fans pretty much outing yourself as someone who didnt.

Again how do you know Pippin didnt say that because he hated Jordan. Jordan is a well documented massive *******. Its pretty much as meaningful as saying Lebron was soft because he he played terribly when he found out about Delonte and his mom
