Richard Jefferson: Giannis is a Scottie Pippen, he needs a Jordan (Scottie Responds)

[CHICAGO]

There isn't an debate available where this loser wont find a way to make it about LeBron.

OF COURSE THIS IS ABOUT LEBRON.

Jay Williams got him in his feelings with that one

The Giannis supporters can't see the

forest for the trees.Giannis's problem

is he has minimum ability to create a

bucket for himself during crucial/high

pressure moments of big games.For

all his freak athleticism & shiny stats,

he has poor situational basketball skill.

Until he improves in those areas, he will

be a proverbial "Pippen"..

 

[HabitualChiller]

Not at 25.

Granted they're highlights, but every time I go look at Pippen game, he makes at least 4 jumpers, and typically create them himself.

Yep, that's the point. He's too young and too accomplished to say that he'll be a career #2. Giannis just needs that one team or moment that scars him for him to change his game. Jordan and Bron had that, and Giannis is nearly as gifted as them.

Pippen in this trash era would be eating

That's a fukking lie.

Yeah its more nuanced than just calling him Pippen, even though I will say to my grave that Pippen showed more offensive ability at that age than Giannis does now despite the numbers.

Giannis makes his living as a perimeter type slasher for most of the season but against a competent defense he looks as limited as an old school 4 or 5. The way he tries to force the slash and euro step when its clearly not there is hard to watch.

Pippen that dude




Giannis that dude






And from a career perspective RJ that dude too.....and he not wrong, Giannis needs a lead 2 way scorer....no lies told

 

[RammerJammer]

Pippen and LeBron had time today

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

NBA twitter funny as shyt I can’t even front

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

People mad at Giannis for not showing up in playoff games like Pippen isn't known for catching migraines in Game 7s and literally sitting out plays in the winning moments of playoff games.

This nikka only knowledge of Pip is from a Documentary
And a bunch of stuplipd mafukkas dapped this dumb shyt too

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Pippen wasn't a reliable shooter especially at the FT line. Only years he was decent on three pointers were when they shortened the line.

 

[JYoung24]

09 Bron is one the best players in league history. He might be the best. Of course Giannis isn't touching that.

Hell no lebron wasnt even the best player in the leauge that year

 

[JYoung24]

These role players gotta learn their place.

Good on Pip

Rj was avg 20 a few time I wouldnt say role player

 

[Voice of Reason]

Hell no lebron wasnt even the best player in the leauge that year

Who was?



Don't bother saying D Wade
