Surely one of us can shoot free throws better than he can. Dude is a career 58% free throw shooter. There are random HS players who don't get off the bench who can shoot better than that lol.

When you or the kids start doing that in gyms with 20,000 people compared to 50, ill be impressed lolol.

If such an opportunity arose, I'd gladly engage in a free throw contest with Dwight Howard. Heck, I'd do one with Shaq and Ben Wallace too. Maybe Josh Boone as well. :rofl:

beyond say, any amount.

context is important

dwight can just hook it and bank it from around 12 feet..he's really good at that

beyond that..where it takes some actual shooting form,even for big men like him?

don't think it's a stretch to say someone like me or clone is a better shooter...though then again you don't know much about my shooting sooo:shifty:

****...quoted the wrong post

lol

Yeah you could throw him on the list too.

I'd say add Dennis Rodman, but when he actually cared about free throws, he could knock them down pretty consistently.

To play a game, yeah I'd take Dwight over you too. :lol:

To shoot 3s? I think I'd take you.

I love how people forget that Pippen should have taken the Bulls to the finals, if not for a BS call by hue Hollis on that 3. Best thing about Pippen is he could effect a game without scoring a single point.

So a missed call in the ECSF means that Pippen and the Bulls would have won the ECF's?

:lol:

I understand it's not baseball. Basketball maybe the only sport where one man can win a championship. See Olajuwon.

That said I'm not saying you don't take Michael. I'm more saying I think it's worth talking about that five great team players maybe the best solution.
Ok and if you had an "all-time NBA draft" and you had the #1 pick..who would you take? That's the question. Who do you start a team with? it was pretty obvious you could assemble great teams around Jordan so I don't understand this idiotic "five great team players" line of thinking.

Like I said not saying I wouldn't but there are quite a number if teams that have won with no one as dominant as Michael
:rofl:

Not the point.

Pippen is a great player to build a team around, he makes players around him BETTER

I feel like even SOME Bulls fans never really appreciated Pippen...Pippen was more then just some "SIDE KICK" for Jordan, without Pippen Jordan and our Bulls don't win 6 Rings, shutting down Magic Johnson and James Worthy, shutting down Drexler, Guarding Gary Peyton even Guarding Shawn Kemp at times during that Series, Guarding Stockton and Hornacek and Karl Malone at times

and it was PIPPEN who made the other players on the BULLS...BETTER

Not saying that I would take MJ over Pippen...but I understand what Karl Malone is saying

MJ makes everyone around him better too...in a different way perhaps, but he does.
