LeBron's usage %s are much higher.

I don't like the comparison either.

he doesn't remind you of a SF that could lockdown the 1-5.....had mad hops...decent shooter from beyond the arc, but had an amazing mid-range game...and would rather defer to the player with more of a killer mentality.


lbj is just a better version of all of that.

How not? Super athletic wing player that's incredible defensively, a strong passer, has good court vision and is great around the rim. Pippen was an okay 3pt shooter. Pippen was an amazing all around player. I've long considered LeBron to be Pippen 2.0. Just a hybrid of great talents.

That '94 Bulls team without Jordan won 55 games in regular season and could have made another Finals run if a few things had went there way in that Knicks series.

Pippen was an amazing player. The problem is people nowadays use it as a slight to LeBron with the deferring bullshite. That's the problem with it. Pippen filled a role that he needed to fill, but when Jordan wasn't there he was fully capable of being the #1 guy on a really good team. In my opinion it's no slight to call LeBron Pippen 2.0.
