LeBron James
Scottie Pippen used to play in the NBA as a professional basketball player positioned as forward and in tandem with Michael Jordan (MJ) for the team Chicago Bulls.With the Miami who won against Chicago in the current conference, Pippen has regarded LeBron James (LJ) as the greatest basketball player while MJ has been termed as “the scorer”.
LJ then commented thru Sun Sentinal on this and said: “Mike was an unbelievable player. I got a long way, long way to be mentioned as one of the all-time greats. Not even just Jordan, there are a lot of great players who have played in this league: Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and all these guys that are floating around with multiple rings. Bill Russell. All of these guys who have pioneered the game for me and [Dwyane Wade].”
Further he uttered:
“I’m gracious, humbled by Scottie’s comments with him being a teammate of his and seeing Michael on a day-to-day basis. But as far as me? I don’t know. I’m not going to sit here and say I’m better than Jordan or if I’m not better than Jordan. It’s not about that.”
Now what do you think? Was he humble enough in his statement?
