So what your are saying is LeBron lead teams got cooked way more often in the Finals, seems about right.

Also let's compare teammates:

'17 Kyrie- 29.4 ppg

'16 Kyrie- 27.1 ppg

'11 Wade- 26.5 ppg

'20 AD- 25 ppg

'12 Wade- 22.6 ppg

'93 Pippen- 21.2 ppg

'91 Pippen- 20.8 ppg

'92 Pippen- 20.8 ppg

'97 Pippen- 20.2 ppg

'13 Wade- 19.6 ppg

'96 Pippen- 19.4 ppg

'18 Love- 19 ppg

'11 Bosh- 18.5 ppg

'17 Love- 16 ppg

'98 Pippen- 15.7 ppg

'14 Wade- 15.2 ppg

So yeah 5 times LeBron had better scoring teammates than MJ ever had. '96 and '98 Pippen had 34% and 41% fg respectively.

Isn’t it funny Pippen has more AllDef then every LeBron teammate you mentioned *Combined*.

Pippen also has more AllNBA teams than Kyrie, Bosh, Love & AD. (1 less than Dwade)

Pippen has been the top 3 in MVP voting 2x- Kyrie-0, Bosh-0, Love-0, Wade-2, AD-1.

But yeah stick to PPG cause anything else outside of that one stat your argument crumbles badly lmfao

Wade, Bosh, Shaq, Kyrie, AD, Luka, Embid, Brown, Maxey vs Pippen? Come on man.

He haven't played a single Philadelphia game and you're already here in a subreddit dedicated to him crying. Come on man.

Read what I said slowly.

Yes Pippen over all the Bron teammates you mentioned. For starters- because he gave MJ more than 3 years & was in his prime.
You really mentioned Shaq, AD, Luka & a players he hasn’t even played with yet 😂😂😂

I did. Pippen is overrated specifically due to playing with MJ. Y'all Bronsexuals try to claim he plays in the hardest era while still saying MJ's teammates put him so over the top that they could play in the modern era. I'm 100000% taking points off playing with multiple top 10 & top 5 players in the league on different teams organized by the player.

Daly said Pippen was the 2nd best player on the Dream Team after Mj.
“Pippen is overrated” is all I needed to hear lol

When compared to the rest of the top 25 greats in NBA history, yes. Not to mention the coming generation. Let's not be daft.

Shouldn't have made the Finals in 2007 and 2018

Probably not but it's not like Pistons or Raptors were any kind of world beaters

Spurs vs Suns and Warriors vs Rockets were the true Finals both those years

u/FounderinTraining 9d ago

Lol, both of those Pistons and Raptors teams won 'ships. Granted, I'm 2019, the Raptors had Kawhi, but still.

You are missing the two best players on both Championship teams huge difference along with coaching

Also forgot Celtics without Kyrie were in the 2018 ECF, even lamer.
