reno Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 If you could choose to put both players on your favorite team, which combo would you rather have? Kobe Bryant and Lebron James or Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YugoRocketsFan Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 MJ and Pippen proved to win 6 titles, Can't say the same for Kobe and Bron. MJ and Pippen's careers are already done while Kobe has another 3 years and LeBron has 10. I bet you think Robert Horry is better than duncan, and you probably seriously do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted October 18, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 MJ and Pippen proved to win 6 titles, Can't say the same for Kobe and Bron.So you would rather have MJ and Pippen than: Jordan, Magic and Bird Because MJ and Pippen proved to win six titles, while that amazing trio didn't?

Really? I would take that Trio, since they are all winners of their own respective careers. LeBron hasn't won anything yet, Kobe hasn't won a lot either especially compared to Jordan or Pippen.  Jordan and Pippen all day everyday.

Â So here's me using your example earlier against you again: who would you rather have, Duncan and Parker, or Kobe and Michael? Two duos. Parker and Duncan have a near dynasty together, while Jordan and Kobe...you just have no proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Jordan is better than both Kobe and LeBron, at least right now. Kobe, LeBron, and Jordan may be the 3 best back court players in the decade, maybe even ever. Pippin was great, don't get me wrong, but he was a second fiddle. A duo of Kobe and Lebron would be absolutely unstoppable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no 3rd guy in all 6 of Jordan's and Pippen's Titles. Â Like I said, MJ and Pippen...and the guy above me stated it correctly. MJ is better than Kobe and LeBron combined. Now you factor in Pippen who could take away any offensive player's game. Greatest Duo ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he is better than them individually, meaning Jordan is better than Kobe and he's better than LeBron. If you seriously think Jordan is better than Jordan and LeBron combined, than you're just a huge Jordan homer.

Flash Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Well would they be playing in the triangle? Jordan and Pippen were beast in that so we'd have to see how LeBron would do in it. I'll take MJ and Scottie just because Jordan is the GOAT.

Big Penny Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Given the fact that he jock rided Shaq for 3 of them, I see nothing to brag about.are you completely stupid? Kobe has 1 finals MVP, Pippen has 0. that means Pippen jock rided Jordan for 6 titles. which means Pippen cant talk about any of his rings. KG and Ray Allen can't either. Clyde Drexler, DR. J, Oscar Robertson? they can't either. sry if this is a bump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUBucksfan09 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I would say MJ and Pipper for the fact there chemistry is proven with those titles. Kobe and Lebron as individuals would make a better talent team I am sure but without knowing if they could coexist I woul have to go with the proven. Though I would love to see the Lakers get LBJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
