I couldnt get the video to play.

Skip Bayless has zero credibility. His whole act is saying shit for shock value, and taking the contrarian point of view. He's a gargoyle looking douchebag.

Now I'm going to picture a gargoyle every time I see him.

I do find it somewhat ironic though, that a lot of the same guys who now think LeBron can never be great no matter how much he wins since he is playing with Wade also think that a guy who rode shotgun on Jordan's bus is one of the twenty best guys to ever play in the NBA. It seems slightly hypocritical at the very least.

I see what you are saying, but here is the difference IMO. Pippen was never cut out to be the big dog, he squeezed every bit out of his potential by being the 2nd guy on a great team and that resulted in him being one of the greats to ever play the game. On the other hand Lebron is cut out to be the big dog and instead of going down that path he has chosen to play down to his potential and accept a 2nd guy role on a good team (maybe great team).

I don't believe that two players have ever won more championships together than Jordan and Pippen.

Bill Russell and Sam Jones won 10 titles together, which is wicked awesome. Russell and Bob Cousy matched MJ and Scottie with 6.

I still think any team with Jordan and Pippen would whip all of those Celtics teams good.

The problem with this point is that most people either already think Lebron is a better player than Scottie or will in the future. Unless he develops a serious drug problem in Miami I don't see how he isn't at least considered one of the top 20 players in NBA history. While there is a case to be made for Scottie being in the top twenty he's more than likely not.

What Lebron did was take himself out of the Jordan discussion since no on is going to view Dwayne Wade as Scottie in this analogy. In fact, many people made the analogy that Lebron James was becoming this generations version of Pippen by going to a team where Wade has already won a title and is likely going to have the ball in his hands at the end of games.

So I guess we agree JORR. Scottie and Lebron have a lot of similarities.

Are you talking the Russell teams or the Bird/McHale/Parish teams? If it's the former I totally agree. If it's the latter, now we have something to talk about.
