Scottie Pippen says LeBron James is no Michael Jordan…again
Scottie Pippen has shared his opinion on the never-ending debate about who the better player is between LeBron James and Michael Jordan.
Appearing on ESPN’s First Take, Pippen explained why he believes Jordan is the superior player:
“When I look at LeBron, he’s not what Michael was as a player. He’s not even what Kobe Bryant was as a player. So, when you talk about trying to compare Michael’s instinct, his ability to take over games, his ability to want to have the last shot, LeBron doesn’t have that gene. That’s not in him. Kobe has that gene. I see a little bit of it in Paul George. Kawhi (Leonard), (Russell) Westbrook. … Not too many players go on the basketball court with that.”

Pippen has addressed the topic multiple times in the past, including last year when he told reporters any comparisons between Jordan and LeBron James aren’t fair to either player.
