    Saw this on ESPN…

    Who wins in a game of two on two between a prime MJ & Pippen vs LeBron & D. Wade?

    Jordan-Pippen no question.

    But, Michael Jordan would probably give them a nice competitive advantage. I think when history goes down though, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will be considered better players than Scottie Pippen though. I take Jordan and Pippen, but I think this 2 on 2 game would be off of the hook and incredibly competitive. I do not know if Scottie Pippen ever guarded someone like LeBron James, but Michael Jordan I think might put the duo over the top. Time will tell though. 

    Jordan and Pippen are of course known as a dynamic duo, but Michael was so much better than the Scottie, it was not even close. Scottie played his role to a tee, but LeBron and Dwyane are a lot closer in talent level, their chemistry may not be there yet, but neither was Michael and Scottie’s right away. They may go down as being a better duo quite possibly, I would not rule that out at all.

    Tyga, in a 2 on 2 game, I take the size of LeBron and Scottie. But, it also would be incredibly competitive, and their would be a speed advantage. If the game had free throws, Michael and D-Wade might blow out, but if it is just straight up 2’s, they would just have a lot of checks up top.

     Just as a basketball fan that’d be amazing to see.  I gotta go with MJ and Scottie because of their poise and MJ’s ability to hit the big shot.  From a defensive standpoint if there were an elite defender who could match up with James from a size and athletic standpoint it’d be Scottie Pippen. James and Wade are the better outside shooters though, it’d be fun to watch.  I pick MJ and Pip 2 out of 3.

    MJ & Pip

    Because I like their use of the post. I’ve seen Dwade be abused by Kobe so I think Jordan who is stronger would have the advantage there. As far as Lebron vs Pip the small advantage goes to Lebron because he is such a explosive scorer, I don’t think Pippen or Jordan could contain him.

     Lol, this is pretty interesting. I think Pippen and Jordan would win 80% of the time. Jordan’s post game was incredible, Pippen could definitely stick LeBron, and D-Wade is a bit overrated as a defender. I might try this in a few minutes on NBA 2K11.

    Jordan and pippen without a dot. MJ dominates, and Scottie compliments him. I think hte match up would be a problem, becasue if you put Lebron on MJ, you have a 4-5 height disparency between Wake and Pippen, but if MJ is guarded by wade, I think he will use the slight heigt advantage to his own good, and Pippen can lock down on Lebron.

    It looks like somebody forgot that Pippen was an 8 time all defensive 1st team player. So yes, he definitely could guard LeBron

    MJ and Scottie would dominate. They are the more complete players; better shooters, defenders, more moves, harder workers and most importantly better teammates, and toe to toe evey bit the athletes that DWade and Lebron are. Lebron and Dwade are great individual players but they have yet to find their tandem stride, when they do this still won’t be a conversation. I miss that time in basketball so much, it was more fun to watch.
