R.J. Claims him and Vince are like MJ & SP <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jefferson offered Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen as an example of two playmakers who won. "How much different were Scottie and M.J.?" Jefferson asked of the two Bulls who won six titles. "If you look at what they did, they both were slashers, they both were shooters, how are they any different? Jordan had his fadeaways. Pippen used to post up and bring the ball up at the small forward spot."</div> http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketba...8p-226451c.html That's just ridiculous... Especially that bold part because Vince's fadeaways are nothing like MJ's. Vince misses way more than he gets in; MJ gets in more than he misses. RJ also goes on to say that Pippen used to post up, well if he's going to be in that "Pippen Role" like he claims, I don't think I've seen him post up that many times. RJ crossed the line on this one...
LMAO, RJ and Vince=MJ & PIPPEN LOL, MJ himself would be able to kill RJ and Vince thats just funny, hwne Carter was in his prime, it would sound better, but lets face it, vince is on the downside of his career
Wow that is a bold statement. well that may have been possible if they had spent as many years together mj and pip, they both raised their skill level, if they both had a consistent jumpshot, they could both stay healthy, if they had a better coach, they both played all NBA defence,..... ect.... ect ....... ............ LOL! Maybe its not possible LOL!
And most of all, they don't have any big men who can beat down the opponents and be that "enforcer". If you think back, Carter flourished with Charles Oakley playing that Enforcer role.
hold on guys HE'S NOT SAYING THEY ARE OR WILL BE AS GOOD AS THEM just that they managed to coexist and flourish even though their both swingmen. Vince is alot like Jordan(though not nearly as good...not even close) But he is a jump shooter with fade aways and pull up jumpers like Jordan. And Jefferson is a rebounder and slasher and inside guy like Pippen was..though not nearly as good again. But still...same "TYPE" of players. So why cant they coexist would be the fair question? Sure they arent going to be the next MJ and Pippen. But they could use their similiar game styles to at least succeed.
I think the stats are getting to RJ's head, I mean RJ is good, hell he's straight nasty but overconfidence is bad. There never will be another combo as good as Pippen and MJ. This doesnt seem like a bad thing to me, RJ is excited and he's set high expectations for himself. Hopefully RJ can achieve great heights in his career, Kidd and Carter have to help him go there.
I think you guys misinterpreted. He's saying how Pippen and MJ basically played the same spot and managed to co-exist. He's saying they could model themselves after MJ & Pippen, he's not saying he's like them, just that they could co-exist and play like they used to. I'm really excited for Jersey, I hope they can turn it around.
How come everybody jumping to conclusions are Raptors fans? dont mean to offend but could it still be a bit upset that Vince is in Jersey now. And not looking back. RJ in no way said him & Vince are MJ & Pip. The question the reporter asked will their be a conflict with two similar wing players on the same team. So he simply used MJ & Pip as an example of wing players who made each other better. And he views playing with Vince will only make him better & vice versa. He stated no more, no less
Wow... funny how he could think of himself as one of the greatest. He's a great player no doubt about that, but MJ and SP comparisons? RJ & VC = MJ & SP Looks very wrong to me
^^^ I agree, it looks very wrong, RJ and VC are way much better. If you want to put numbers, RJ + VC = 100; MJ and SP = 1. <font size="1">If you begin to flame me for ^ that comment, that means that you do not understand humur or have a sense of it.</font>
Wow, reading comprehension is on an all time low in this thread. Comparison to two players does not equal that they are those two players. Saying Kobe is like Jordan isn't saying Kobe is Jordan. Learn to read and infer.

By a margin of 10 to the power of infinite.
He said they play similar games, that simple. You guys are reading too much into it - but I did the same until I saw the entire picture. RJ is right in the fact that they're both slashers, but thats about as far as the comparisons can go. MJ and Pippen are by far better than RJ/VC will ever be.

No!
