would you rate Lebron higher than Pippen in your own ATG list?

[-Swizzy-]

why is this even a question?

this is not close enough to even be a comparison.

True.

The only SF I rank ahead of Lebron at this point of his career is Larry Bird.

I don't like James but he is ahead of Pippen.

Though he'll eventually surpass him but career wise there is no way you can rank Lebron over Dr. J.

-Dr. J played in a weak era
-ABA don't count
-Longetivity don't count either
-Lebron is a better player than Dr. J, fukk his achievements!

And stop overrating Pippen. I dont remember him being held up that high by his peers. No one ever looked at him as a Top 5 player.

LeBron is the hands down best player in the league today. A title Pippen never could claim.

not overrating Pippen here but i think he's underappreciated a lot

of course playing alongside MJ he was overshadowed, at least earned some respects to consider him one of the best to play at that position

I wish people would go back and re-look at the Cleveland years.

When LeBron had an absolutely garbage team, he took them to the conference Finals, and the NBA Finals.

When Kobe and Wade had bad teams, they missed the playoffs or got dusted in the first round.

LeBron is a better all-around player than Larry Bird. The only thing Bird did better was outside shooting.

Bron can defend FOUR positions on the court.
