I don't take what Pippen says seriously. Again just because a hall of famer says it doesn't it make it true. You disagreed with Joe Dumars, a hall of famer saying good things about BG, because he has a sketchy track record as a GM. Well I can point to similar things with Pippen. He refused to participate in the game ending polay 1.8 seconds left. He also said a few years ago that Lebron will surpass MJ when its all said and done. It just shows you how twisted your logic is.
I have never really heard Dumars analyze the sport. The BG move was, along with Charlie V, moves in which he hastily moved and overpaid the players. His last few years don't add up to the first years, but his first years was pretty damn good.
Lebron will surpass MJ at his current rate, what is so twisted about that logic? Lebron is already the best player in the league (arguably) and he is pretty damn young. The only player on his level is a Jordan clone (Kobe). So I don't see that he is off. Lebron is the best damn 24 year old the league has ever seen. Again, he was pretty good on ABC, just is not that damn articulate, kind of like Norm Van Lier.
Also, the 1.8 seconds 15 years ago has nothing to do with his acumen as a basketball analyst. All should be forgiven concerning that play. He is a great player (or very good, depending on who you talk to..) and a future HOFer (I believe next year is his turn) and he should be celebrated. I have said the same thing about Stacey King, his is very smart concerning basketball. How good or bad a player he is has no bearing on his depth of knowledge concerning the sport.
