I think you're the one who needs to google it. He never said James is better than Jordan. He said "may be".

he pretty much clowned his old teammate while the guy hes praising, beats his former team. All in one night. Cool.

All I know is that Dwayne Wade is better than Scottie Pippen.

All I'll say for now is, Pippen is certainly wrong! Jordan is not the "best scorer to ever play the game".

Ok, at least he said "maybe" or "probably", depending on which qoute you read.

Lebron has the skills/talent to be better than Jordan....if he does it?.. remains to be seen. as of today he is still behind kobe bryant imo.

i have to say scottie must sore at jordan to make that statement..that's for sure.

wade and james are about equal...just seems wade takes a little more pride in his defensive game than james...still watch james guard rose in the 4th quarter...even wade or jordan could not have done any better.

james, kobe and jordan are all great defenders.. its the offensive side that seperates them.

Look at the guards MJ had to face in his era, compared to LeBrons. There is no contest.

Jordan survived in what was said to have been the toughest era in the NBA. Those players would make most of the player of this era look soft or D-League material and that's the truth.

My point is, Jordan survived and succeeded in a much tougher league while LeBron is benefiting from a much softer toned down NBA.

Also, in Mike's career , did he ever not show up in a big game? This guy would still play hard even being down by a bunch with 2minutes to go. I cant say the say for LeBron. Heck, I wont even get into the leadership role.

All in all, Pippen is just confirming to many, hes a bit jealous of his ex teammate, Michael Jordan.

I just find it amazing that for the last 3 yrs i've heard how Kobe was on his way to being better than jordan cause he was winning rings and finals mvp's etc. Then they get swept this year and it's like Kobe is an afterthought. Now the comparison goes to Lebron. At least with Kobe you can argue talent AND accomplishments to an extent. But Lebron has as many rings as i do and the comparisons are ALREADY on. The media is such prisoneers of the moment it's ridiculous. Pippen makes one comment and it's like the top story on sportscenter. I will never address a comparison to Jordan until you have a MINIMUM of 5 rings. You want to debate Kobe vs Michael? cool. At least there's some sort of case with that one. But Lebron vs Michael? come on now. Get at me in 6-7 yrs and MAYBE i will take what some of these people are saying seriously

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"][QUOTE="-Halftime-"] Why? I've yet to see any reason not to put Lebron in league with these players. What in your opinion is it that he doesn't do?-Halftime-

I think that this arguement is better left for when LeBron's career is over.

jordan was a better scorer than lebron, lebron is a player that can definately one day be better than jordan just for the fact that he is a freak of nature and has a great all around skill set, for now i would say kobe is the closest you can get to jordans shooting ability and lebron is the closest athletically to jordan. jordan is still the best player to ever play the game in my opinion

MIchael Jordan was unstoppable on offense and also the best defensive guard ever-Halftime-

Bullcrap. That title goes to Gary Payton.

i do not care what you people are saying right now only person in the whole history of the NBA that can be compared to MJ is Kobe Bean Bryant A.K.A The Black Mamba end of the story.

Both MJ and Payton has the same records in defense, both with 9 all defensive first team and one defensive player of the year award.

But MJ has more steals, more blocks (considered the best shot-blocker for a guard).

I personally say MJ was probably the best offensive and defensive player of all time. So Pippen is wrong...MJ was the total package not LeBron.

To clarify, my 2nd statement was concerning my first one. I disagree with Pippen calling Jordan "the best scorer to ever play the game", then I realized he said "probably" or "maybe"....still disagree though.

I haven't commented on Lebron being greater than Jordan yet.

Concerning Lebron "probably, maybe being or at some point greater than Jordan...or whatever Pippen said.

Lebron is not yet "greater" than MJ, he needs more accomplishments for that. Talent wise Lebron is easily comparable to MJ. MJ didn't get the post up game until he had too, after losing some of the explosiveness. So I'm not going to hold that against Lebron and say lack of a post up game is one of the reasons Lebron is not as complete as MJ. Lebron still has his expolsiveness and I've seen signs of a post up game coming.

IMO, Lebron is just more of a force to deal with than MJ was, considering Lebrons size, quickness, strength, court vision, improved shooting ability (better than MJ from 3pt range), improved defense....I just watched Lebron "D" up one of the quickest, strongest, atheletic, expolsive point guards ever...D. Rose., not sure Jordan could do that in his 8th season. If I remember correctly Jordan began to have trouble with smaller, quicker guards at that point.

Also, I think Gary Payton was a better man to man defender than MJ, and would also have to consider others,.... Sidney Moncrief, Walt Frazier, Michael Cooper, K.C. Jones, Scottie Pippen, Bruce Bowen....etc.

Was MJ even the best defender on his team after Pippen arrived and got established...just asking?

Basically I don't view MJ as the best offensive player or best defensive guard ever.

How were they close?Chutebox

Without question LeBron is the better all around defender.

Jordan is the best when it comes to shooting guard but he was limited to point guards, shooting guards, and some small forwards.

LeBron on the other hand can match up with anyone on the floor and shut them down. The Chicago series showed off his talents because he was able to be put on Boozer and Rose and shut both of them down.

LeBron has the kind of versatility on the floor that no one's ever had before.

Jordan is the greatest ever but LeBron is on his way to make it a harder argument
