    I think Scottie is desperate for attention. I still cant believe he said that. He couldn't even shoot. He's making all of us old heads look bad.

    I almost wish Harden would be as petty as Pippen, in a tweet or something. Almost.

    "I'd average 50 if I played for yesterday's Chicago Bulls"

    Pippen also says that if it were the 90s, he would have been able to stop Future from scoring on his wife.

    Pippen was a Westbrook-level 3-pointer shooter, except for the 3 years it was moved in. He was not a great isolation scorer.

    There's no way he'd function anywhere close to Harden as a scorer in this system. Why don't other knowledgeable people on the panel call out these old-timer players on their nonsensical claims? They're paid to be experts, right?

    If Scottie Pippen was alive today, I am sure that Daryl Morey would love to have him on this team.

    As long as Phil Jackson does not run plays for Toni Kukoc instead.

    Hey Scottie how many championships did you win without MJ ? That’s what I thought, shut this Fing idiot up.

    It's getting embarrassing. I know that they hate Harden's style of play, but to resort to this kind of foolishness is just pathetic. Other former players should call this out. They are so offended that Harden is being mentioned with Wilt and MJ that its making some of them delusional. It's time to get off of this comparing eras crap and just give Harden his due.

    If I played on today's Houston Rockets, I'd be telling the coaches of Rio Grande Valley that I was the Harden of Greece

    It's a shame ESPN has to rely on this kind of material to be relevant. Talk about clickbait...

    I honestly feel bad for Harden... Imagine the pressure he has to face of the idea that if he dumbed his average to 28ppg. Not even counting for the fact his assists would go up, he would get murdered daily.

    That’s all he has left to prove at this point.

    I think he meant to say "I would be a nobody with 0 rings if it wasn't for MJ"

    So, he would essentially average what harden is averaging and since we are using great logic ... Everyone who averaged more than Scottie would average 40+

    Wow!! Amazing!

    Pippen should be taken off TV for saying something this stupid. Dude was never a scorer didn’t have any go to moves how would he average 40 going one on one all game.

    TMAC on the other hand I do believe could average 40. He’s actually got a scoring title, and if analytics was around back then he coulda traded all his long twos for threes. However the Rockets probably don’t win as much as Tmac probably only plays 50 games that year.

    Pippen, T-Mac, Carmelo, Dwight, and CP3 should all get together and form a disgruntled ex-Rocket club, so they can all complain about how unfair Harden is and how easy it is for him.
