We say one is better than another at something, but PPG and RPG are what we use to help measure exactly how much better one is than the other. Love is a much better rebounder than LA. Even if LA is better at mid range and post game (and I'm not terribly convinced he's significantly better in either), Love is still significantly better offensively. Rebounding is such a huge factor that it's one of the 3 (OFF, DEF, REB) that 2K gives with those gold bars. Love takes 2 of those 3 bars rather easily. And athleticism only goes so far in this game, certainly not as far as the more direct skills.

He led a cavs team in points...rebounds...assists..and steals at the same time. Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S3

You don't seem very familiar with Scottie Pippens game. Did you actually see him play on a consistent basis in his prime years or are you just making stat comparisons?

I'm sorry, but this statement is incredibly ignorant. Are you suggesting that there weren't equivalent if not better players than these when Pippen was playing?

Try Drexler, Richmond, Mullin, Bird, Magic, Shaq in his prime, Ewing, Karl Malone, Stockton, Isaiah Thomas, D Robinson, Olajuwon, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill in his prime, Alonzo Mourning, Gary Payton...etc.

Anthony Davis being rated at 80 is blasphemous.

http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/player.html#Kevin-Love|201567;year=201112;season=r

There you can check both players shoot chart among other things. Aldridge is better from everywhere in the court besides 3pt. And I'm not too sold on that "love is a much better offensive player", 22 ppg with 51.2% for Aldridge vs 26 with 44.8% for Love.

Anyways it looks like I'm the only person in earth who thinks this way so just ignore me .

Completely agree, was evn Lebron an 80 when he was a rookie? Davis offensive game is pretty raw to get an 80 overall despite his good defense and athleticism

[djwax90]

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I rather them be realistic in comparison to the talent of todays superstars. Pippen was allstar...not a superstar. Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S3

1992 Scottie probably wasn't a superstar but the 93-94 certainly was imo. I think he finished 5th in MVP voting that year and if it wasn't for a bad call from Hugh Hollins Pippen takes the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals that year minus MJ. He really was awesome that year (imo). 89 or 90 probably sounds better as a rating for that 1992 Pippen but in the long run it's all about the attribute ratings instead of overall.

Love (after his weight loss) I would say is at just as fast (top speed) but Love is quicker, moves around the court with more agility, has better endurance, and is more durable. Love is stronger which allows him to fight on the boards better. The only place Aldridge has love is vertical, but that's not enough to say he's a better athlete.

With that said, it's no way Aldridge should still stay at 83, especially with griffin at 87 and Davis at 80. Aldridge should be in the same ball park as Griffin.
