how is Paul Pierce better than Scottie Pippen? Your whole premise in the argument is Scottie never won anything on his own etc. etc. etc.

What has Paul Pierce won?

Pierce is a much better scorer, yes...it's no question. But what else can Pierce do better than Pippen? Nothing...he's not the passer, he's not even near the defender, he isn't the rebounder...

Pippen redefined his position...he was the primary ball handler for the Bulls...

Pippen was an all around great player...he was on the 50 greatest players of all time list...Paul Pierce wouldn't even sniff that list.

Pierce, great offensive player...but he isn't hall of fame bound or anything...

Peirce is a good defender. I will give him that. He's got game, but not as good as Pip.

BETTING ON THESE JUNGLE *****S IS GETTING WILD

Are you likening Scottie Pippen complementing MJ to Shaq complementing Kobe? ROFL If anything, Kobe was the one complementing Shaq. Those were his teams.

I thought it was hilarious. I love it when people do things like that. Here is my favorite.

Paul Pierce is a better scorer than Scottie, but NOT overall. Hell, Scottie is one of the BEST 50 players of all time!

Shaq's other championship also came with D-Wade (without whom, along with others, he would not have won another championship).

And his other finals appearance came with a healthy Penny Hardaway.

Shaq's a HOFer, one of the 5-8 best Centers of all time, but his inability to hit free throws and his late game yips would have prevented him from ever winning a championship without an elite swingman.

Shaq needed Kobe as much as Kobe needed Shaq.

Kobe was complimenting Shaq. I wont ever deny that. Kobe was all of what 21? He was still a skinny ass player with tons of potential. He at times took games over no doubt, but Shaq was the key to that team. I wont ever deny that.

Was I the only one burnt on this? It wasn't a lot of money, but still...




...Sasha is a bitch.

You notice how many people cheered when he did it. THat was all the people who's ass he just saved because they gave up 8 on the line. Sasha rocks!!! LMAO

Totally agree with that...If Shaq could shoot free throws EVEN as well as Tim Duncan, who is far from good at them, he would have probably been considered the most dominant player of all time...

and free tacos!

I love playing Madden online...being up by several scores...and calling timeouts in the 4th quarter when time is running out to just to rub it in some more...it's hilarious.

Sometimes I'm in a nice mood and run out the clock...but not usually. Depends if the little prick has a mic in or not...

:( you like shitty games. I am sorry. lol I alwys take a shot at people that play Madden. No offense. lol

the madden bashers are crazy...

Madden, on XBOX ORIGINAL, is the greatest football game ever created...2K5 doesn't touch it...the people who think that obviously no nothing about game play...the people that bitch about QB vision don't realize it's single handedly the best feature ever added to a football game...you just have to take time in practice mode to learn it...I love when people bitch about it.

Now...

Madden on the next gen console has been a huge letdown...the gameplay is horrid. Like I said in the madden thread in media lounge...I will rent 2009 for the 360...if it isn't improved...I will buy 2009 for the regular XBOX and play it on my 360...

I used to hail mary it in the final seconds to get it down to the 5 yard line. Then down it 3 times in a row and punt it through the field goal posts when I'm blowing someone out. Man that really pisses them off.

I don't have a problem with guys running up the score in any sports ever. Because it's a sport, thats it. Unless they are talking trash while doing it, I don't have a problem. I just think Sasha is just young enough he really doesn't know better. I don't really think there was any malicious intent, thats just kind of the lackadaisical guy he is

NO, **** NO. I did like the QB vision cone. I have commented on that in the past, but it wasnt up to the level of 2k5. No way. 4 years later and 2k5 still kicks EA's ass. Present or past.

I have been a Laker fan for a long time. 2 things Phil and Kobe need to address in the next week are Gasol's showing up of his teammates and Sasha's brashness. Sasha shouldn't have shot the ball when SA was letting the clock run out and not fouling him.

The Lakers have always been a class organization and this doesn't fit.

It won't effect them this year but might come back to bite them down the road.

FYP
