[QUOTE="RAM_Designs, post: 5963327, member: 566575"] Need I remind you he was named as one of the top 50 players of all time? He was 33 and in his 12th season when he went to Portland...hard to do mcuh when your career is nearly over(even though they made it to the conference finals in his first year in Portland). When MJ left after the 92-93 season, Pippen was all-star MVP, averaged 22pts, nearly 9 boards, and 5.5 assists per game the following season...sure sounds like a slacker to me. He also had three straight years of being on the all NBA first team. He's better than anybody Lebron will ever have around him. Period. How about Horace Grant, Rodman, Bill Wennington, Will Perdue(even John Salley [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG])...mean physical guys that play D, rebound, and will wear you out down low. Paxon hit quite a few game winners, and Kerr has the highest 3pt percentage IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA. Again, he had knock down shooters who could make game winners if need be. How does that matter in the slightest? In that case Lebron should be slower and not be able to get to the hole too easily...you can argue either way whether or not being bigger is better(especially when talking about a shooting guard or a perimeter small forward). There are benefits to being bigger as well as consequences...Lebron doesn't seem to show much of the consequences. [/QUOTE]
