It's more of acknowledging his greatness as opposed to riding on his nuts. Never been a fan of his, so yea... you got it all wrong. Also, since you brought it up. Jordan won alongside Pippen, true, but he never relied on Scotties scoring to win games. Bron relies on his teammates a whole lot more. This is why he needed the likes of Wade and Bosh to win a championship. This year he replaced them for a young All Star MVP in Kyrie+Love.
I beg to differ. I remember watching quite a few games where pippen scored 30+. Also, pippen is one of the best defensive players of all time, he could lock down the other teams best player with his quickness and length. Not to mention on any given night pippen could grab 10+ rebounds and have 7 or 8 assists, u dont think that gave jordan a piece of mind and let him play his game knowing he had an all star next to him to pick up the slack? Lebron has never had that....
And looking back at those heat teams, an argument could be made that Ray Allen, Mike Miller, Battier and even Chalmers had a bigger impact in those championship runs than a crippled Wade and soft ass Bosh spice, the finals are all about who makes big shots in clutch time, just like both Lebron and curry have been doing this series...
Cavs should win tonight to force game 7 in Oakland, Thursday gonna be a hell of a game!
