oh ok so now jordan gets credit for playing against him in practice? hahahahaha, wow, the deification and knob slobbing of jordan reaching new heights here.

he wasn't confrontational enough? hmmm. maybe pat ewing disagrees.

I mean Pippen played his entire prime in Chicago, had a role reduction in Houston and Portland although he still played very effectively well into his 30s.

I mean that was the game most of those guys played their whole careers. They are set shooters. Are you going to tell me people remember the Paxsons, Kerrs, Armstrongs and Hodges of the world? Maybe for a big shot in one or two cases but not really.

So do Robert Horry and Derek Fisher, so does Sam Jones, so does any set shooter who played on great title teams. Who was in that role in Miami? Ray Allen. They are still making shoes commemorating his big shots. This just seems like a bullshit argument that starts from the premise of elevating MJ above his teammates and competitors historically and works backward from there
