Who does everyone think is the "darkhorse" to win the nba finals?
Michael Jordan didn't need Scottie Pippen: MJ simply needed another elite player and one or two good players. Despite what the NBA would have you believe, Pippen was not a GREAT player. He was, however, very good.In today's NBA, a team needs at least two All-Stars or All-Star caliber players and a very good player to be a SERIOUS championship contender:
Cavs: James (All-Star). They're the lone exception.
Mavs: Howard, Nowitzki (All-Stars); Terry (All-Star caliber)
Nets: Carter, Kidd (All-Stars); Jefferson (All-Star caliber)
Pistons: Billups, Hamilton (All-Stars); Wallace (All-Star caliber)
Spurs: Duncan, Parker (All-Stars); Ginobili (All-Star caliber)
Suns: Marion, Nash, Stoudemire (All-Stars)
In Lamar Odom, Kobe an elite teammate, but after them, the talent on the Lakers' squad dropped like stock prices on Black Monday.
Your assertion that MJ needed help is correct. All the great ones--Chamberlain, Johnson, Bird--needed help from their teammates, many of whom were All-Stars, to win championships. It's no different for Kobe.
yeah mj need pippen
Tim Duncan Vs Hakeem Olajuwon Vs Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.?
If he didn't have Pippen, I'm sure that Larry Bird would have sufficed.Who do you like to watch lose the most? kobe? cuban? or shaq?
Im so glad u asked this question. MJ is my favorite player of all time, but Kobe is a close 2nd. Yes Mike needed Pippen and everyone else on the Bulls to be able to win. I don't understand why people dogg Kobe so much. His style of play is not that much different from Mikes, and they glorify #23.Which player do the LA Lakers need to play with Kobe?
Considering all the titles Jordan won without Pippen equal the same amount of titles the Charlotte Bobcats have won, should say enough. Who cares how many 50 point games MJ had, that doesn't mean a guaranteed championship. Just ask Kobe this year.Who said MJ didn't need Pippen? You?
Every MJ fan knows that MJ needed Pippen, Kerr, Robert Horry, and Dennis Rodman. MJ is a team player. Kobe isn't. So stop comparing Kobe to MJ. Kobe plays a one-on-one basketball, MJ plays five-on-five. They play a different game.
MJ needs Pippen.
Warriors should smack themselves upside the head?
50 points dont matter. its a team sport and micheal jordan needed all the players on his team to win 6 championships. kobe needed shaq to win his championships. u cant do it alone.What the hell is wrong with you Phenoix fans?
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are entirely two different kind of players.This is unfair to Kobe Bryant. He is nor here to fill in Jordan's shoes, and he is not trying to either. They are both great players, with Michael having a slight edge over him, but that can change too, since Kobe is only 28.
Kobe likes one on one, but he is getting better with team play.
