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

[Cynical Thoughts]

Disclaimer: I don't believe in any way that Giannis ends up on the Dubs, BUT.....

If he does, it shouldn't matter since he's not that good, has no skill and needs to be Robin instead of Batman...

Right???

Curry playing second fiddle and to a #2 option

They’d win but that fvmp going to Giannis

 

[UserNameless]

I do think he needs either a 1b or some real shooters

 

[CarltonJunior]

Scottie is better than Giannis now?

 

[CSquare43]

He is the perfect coach for great personnel grouping and I would prefer him over Bud for the Bucks if they added CP3 or a lead inciator but if you put him on 29 teams and Bud on 29 teams, Bud would do much better for 26 teams.

Phil Jackson is considered the GOAT but would get fired if he coached the pre-KG T'Wolves in two seasons.

I don't believe that Bud (or anyone else for that matter) would have fared much better at all with our lineup this season AND I don't honestly believe that the Dubs front office had a real interest in being a fringe playoff team this season. Better to get the draft pick and move on from there.

This everybody has to be Jordan narrative so fukking corny

That’s why I pay no attention to any NBA personalities besides the ones on NBATV, which I barely watch anyways.

Why not just say Giannis can’t be the #1 option and/or best player on a Championship team? 90% of takes these guys somehow leads to comparing with Jordan. If Jordan’s GOAT status is so unattainable, why do thèse personalities feel the need to compare every decent player to him.

Hockey and Soccer are my main sports, seldom do you hear these their sport personalities comparing current players being compared to Gretzky, and Messi/Ronaldo are often disregarded when talking about current best players because they’re way above the rest.

And its not stopped.

Meanwhile, Pippen wasn't a good half-court scorer. We all watched it. Stop re-writing history. Pippen was even more limited because he's smaller. Stop being stupid.

Its stopped all the time. Giannis is shooting like 30% in the 4th Quarter this series. He only scored 3 4Q points in the 1st game. This nikka is garbage.

He has the same exact weaknesses as last year.


New Data Suggests Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Been A Non-Factor For The Bucks During Crucial Period
Pippen had way more tools even at 25 than this dude. Sorry.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

He needs a high level shoot creator next to him. And he needs to get more skilled. I know Giannis is gonna get shyt on if he loses in the second round but the only people who thought they had a chance with Middleton being there second best player/ number 1 create your own offense guy, were Milwaukee fans

 

[Dwight Howard]

Yall doing too much. Giannis is a generational talent/specimen. No one is building a team around scottie pippen

 

[Diondon]

If Giannis loses this series, both he and Dame have proven they can't be 1A

That's because the NBA has opened itself up to these type of discussion with the way that it markets its league and players. I don't understand why people think that Giannis should be immune from criticism when he will likely be back to back MVP and just won DPOY. That alone increase the expectations and scrutiny that will come from him not succeeding. Success creates expectations.

The NBA doesn't mind that people are having these type of discussions and deep down the players don't either as it's bringing attention to their league and product.

 

[CHICAGO]

ITS LIKE PPL FORGET
GIANNIS IS ONLY 25 YRS OLD.

MJ & SHAQ DIDNT WIN UNTIL 28.

BRON DIDNT WIN UNTIL 27
AFTER FORMING A SUPERTEAM.

WAS BRON PIPPEN WHEN
HE WAS WINNING MVPS GETTING BOUNCED
EARLY IN THE PLAYOFFS?

edit: I was wrong.

 

[DropTopDoc]

It's hard to be a Gladdys Knight with a team full of pips, and win a chip, but a couple different bounces of the ball and he's up 2-0 and would we be having this discussion, he needs help, but the issue is convincing nikkas to go to Milwaukee, it’s not exactly a fa hotbed so unless they draft some hidden gem, he’s going to have to take his talents elsewhere

 

[CHICAGO]

Pippen as #1 has more ECF wins than Giannis on a far worse team.

THIS WHOLE POST IS WRONG.

GO BACK TO TRL GOOFY

I hate the way Pippen still gets disrespected

After what Future did... this is where we are now.

Anyway, Giannis needs a jumpshot that opponents have to consistently respect (not unlike LeBron James early in his career). Not fear, but just respect.

He gets that, it's over.
