His comment wasn't about one being better than the other.

No, but the comment made before that was that Pippen isn't rated high because he wasn't a great shooter and his response was neither is LeBron..

My reply was that LeBron was a better player than Pippen, meaning that regardless of how either of them shoot LeBron does much more than Pippen to warrant the higher overall..

All in all I think Pippen is fine at the 92 overall spot.. IMO he never did anything to deserve anything too special, he's far overrated in his passing and ball handling abilities, definitely a great team defender, and all star player.. There are plenty of guys in the NBAs 50 greatest player list who would rank as low as mid 80s on a 2K game so Pippen being where he is isn't too high or too low for me..

Think about it as if a well behaved student getting the better grade if his actual grade is between two grades. If that student is always on time and never causes a disruption and he is between a B and a C best believe he will get the B grade.

That is the same thing I am saying here. I am saying reputation should be considered. The example that you just have about Ray Allen is NOT what I said. I didn't say anything near that. Not sure where you pulled the 88 from. But if he shot 35%, that still calculates to an 80 rating which is still a solid rating. So he can be fine there.

But if he shot 20%, which would give him below a 70, I would think that his career would allow the roster maker to give him a few "bonus" points considering his history.

That is factoring on court ability.

So there can't exist a world where someone can be a stat head and watch games? Why is it the first comment toward someone that uses statistical evidence is watch more games. Where are you getting the impression that games aren't being watched?

This is where I think having something like an open shot vs contested shot rating would factor in. I also think the ratings in general should be stretched out more, so that 89+ is only for the elite 3pt shooters, which Iggy still isn't one of. The 27th ranked 3pt shooter should not be an 89 from 3pt range.

Also the fact that they got rid of the shot off dribble rating last year and changed it to a tendency was a huge step back IMO. Hopefully they bring it back in 2K12, bc I felt like it was near perfect in 2K11 in that guys like Korver and Redick would be money coming off of screens and spotting up but could be stopped if they tried to pull up off the dribble.

I also think rep should be a factor. Guys like Korver, Novak, Mike Miller, Redick, James Jones who really are 3pt specialists and make their living from out there, should be rated higher 3pt so that they truly represent what their game is, even if their percentage may have dipped for a year.

So my problem isn't necessarily w/ Iggy in general, it's moreso with the way 2K plays in that there isn't much difference between an 89 3pt shooter and a 99 3pt shooter at times. That's what I hope they change in 2K13 by stretching out those ratings.

I have to agree with you man. Out of players I've actually seen Pippen is top 10, if not top 5. He is on the "official" list of 50 greatest players of all-time after all. You kind of have to be a superstar to be on that list...

I agree with pretty much all of this. Hopefully, the new signature skills will help differentiate the 3pt specialists a bit more.

Fortunately, there are sliders for that this year. Between the sliders and the Signature Skills, it should be easier to differentiate shooters.

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

WHAT?!!! First off you must be have NEVER seen Scottie Pippen in his prime, you must be of this super soft Lebron James Generation , Scottie Pippen was the guy who made the point forward postion what it is, there is nothing lebron james can do that he couldnt not do, Pippen was a beast on defense offense was Super Athletic all the things people pat lebron james on the back for doing in games Scottie did, he just happen to play in Micheal Jordans shadow PIppen needs to be higher than a 92 if theyy have the 93-94 Pippen it needs to be higher Along with Hakeen and Robinson Pippen was regarded the best in the NBA when Mike was gone

# 172 TRHINO @ 08/30/12 05:04 PM

Pippen rating needs to be HIGHER.People really need to roll out the game footage of Scottie Pippen because he should be rated higher than a 92, i grew up watching Pippen and the way he played and things he did on the basketball court was truly amazing the things people pat lebron james on the back for doing Pippen did, Pippen made the point Forward postion what it is. If Pippen was playing in this SOFT NBA of today he would easily put up huge numbers and assist , i think it is funny how Carmelo anthony and scottie pippen are rated the same to say for 1. I would rate scottie a 95 at least especially the 93-94 \Pippen

# 173 Colts18 @ 08/30/12 05:07 PM

It depends on which Pippen we are speaking of. Currently, LeBron is the only player than can match Pippen in overall basketball ability. Durant is a better scorer but he isn't a better basketball player than Pippen. His rating (when done correctly) should not come out higher than Pippen. Pippen does more on the court and doing more on the court generally produces a higher overall grade. Especially when defense is heavily influenced, something that Pippen flourished at.

I honestly feel what the poster above me is saying. Some of you might have been relegated to seeing Pippen in his Blazer days or something because there is a large amount of disrespect shown towards one of the best that has ever done it.

# 174 Thunder Storm @ 08/30/12 05:16 PM

Pippen higher than a 92 ? lol.

What attributes do you suggest they exaggerate to get that done ?

# 175 BezO @ 08/30/12 05:27 PM

I'm always amazed at the lack of respect for Pippen. There's something to be said for being the best of your generation at something. Pippen was not only the best on ball defender of his time, he might be the best on ball defender of ALL time. He is also one of the best all around players ever. Don't mistake is lower ppg for a lack of scoring ability. Pippen could do ANYTHING there was to do on the court.

# 176 ojandpizza @ 08/30/12 05:38 PM

I grew up watching Pippen, the bulls Pippen not the blazers Pippen and a 92 overall is fine with me.. He's a very overrated passer and ball handler, not saying he wasn't good in those areas but all of you Pippen freaks are acting like he's Magic or Penny out there.. He's also an overrated defender, when it comes to one on one defense that is.. In a team concept he was simply amazing though, one of the best ever.. I don't know if many of you actually watched him play or if you're just going off what you hear or what but thinking he should be higher or lower just doesn't make any sense to me..

I was the biggest Jordan/Bulls fan than I know during that time period, I've saw Pippen play tons and tons of times and been to several games in person as well.. He's not as well rounded as some of you like to think, and he is and definitely not a top 10 freaking player of all time..

I could easily think of 5 SFs I would take over him

man this game cant come soon enough !

# 178 DaProdigy @ 08/30/12 06:38 PM

Maybe you didn't want the playoffs? Or you just fail to see how great of a defender Iggy is.. And 5 boards and 5 assists from a SG actually isn't that bad
