" I'd Average 40 If I Played For Today's Houston Rockets" - Rockets Legend Scottie Pippen

FIFY

 

Pippen was very good with playing with that Jordan's team. Likely Bird, LBJ, KD would asked to be traded by playing with Jordan. I recall that Pippen took a three, and made it, but Jordan was still yelling at him, assume that Pippen should not take that shoot. Pippen needs Jordan, and Jordan needs Pippen too, but Pippen can not a team leader to carry the team over the top, but Bird, LBJ, KD, Kawhi can.

 

By the way, Pippen was considered to be all-time great likely due to his ring numbers, and total win numbers, unlikely due to his basketball skill levels.

 

Nobody is going to ave 40 pts playing on our team while Harden runs the show. That would be impossible considering they simply won't get to take enough shots.

 

That’s true. Since nobody is actually better than Herden is at scoring, nobody would take more shots than him on the same team.

 

He certainly averaged 40 D.N.C.s (Do Not Care) when he played with Houston...

 

Would average $40 in his bank account after he blowing the rest on horrendous purchases.

 

can you give the list of players out there who deserves more shots than Harden when they play with Harden?

 

I’m not a millennial, but this definitely deserves an “OK, Boomer”

 

I am arguing in the same context. If you watch Pippen speak, he usually compares himself to other current superstar players or what it would be like if he played in the current NBA and almost always he implies how great of a player he is/was. His game is not comparable to current superstars.

My whole point is that in today’s NBA, Pippen would be the same what he has always been, 2nd or 3rd best player in a team. He would not be able to put up numbers like Harden period! Him saying he would score 40 ppg is not something he could even do when he played in his prime because he was not a good 3-pt shooter and that’s a fact. So his analysis is flawed because Harden can put up such numbers with any team and Pippen should stop indirectly comparing himself with Harden or any other superstars currently playing in the league.

 

Charles Jones: “I would average 5 points a game on today’s Rockets”

 

Pippen = Iguodala
Am I wrong ?

 

Pippen was a really good defender. I can see him averaging around the same points as Westbrook is currently averaging now at best.

 

Nobody. My point was Pippin's statement was stupid. No star could average that next to Harden because it would be impossible. They wouldn't get enough shots to do that, no matter how good they were.

 

Scottie Pippen averaged 22 (career best) in the sole season without MJ when he was the sole leader. Let's say with today's rules it's easier and he ups his average for about 10 points. That still wouldn't get him anywhere near Harden. Next.

 

even if Harden wasn't there Pippen still can average 20 at best

 

No wonder Charles Oakley choked this dude out. He's a snively little punk who always thought he was better than he was. Here's an idea: you wanna be the man?? Convince your HOF coach you deserve to close out games, and not Toni Kukoc, you ****ing imbecile.

 

ya and james would do this in game LOL...
