LBJ and Kobe combined are better talentwise but MJ and Pippen is the winning team. Pippen is a better complementary player than LeBron ever will be. LeBron is better, but he needs to be a first option to be at his most effective. MJ and Pippen. Go with the guys who won rings with Luc Longley at center.

Completely different type of pair. Lebron and Kobe in 2008, would be like Bird and MJ in 1987.

Lebron is the best SF and Kobe is the best SG.

Why should Lebron be the 2nd option? Like you said, Lebron is best effective as the 1st option and Kobe has proven to be tremendous 2nd option.

I think Lebron needs to be the first option. The guy with the higher PER as the superstar should be the guy who gets the most shots.

I dont think either has to be the first option. it can vary game to game

Lebron is the best SF and Kobe is the best SG.

or you can choose one of the (2) options that the thread starter put instead of adding your own players?

A team with Jordan and Pippen on it - I take that team over any other team 99.999999999% of the time. Pippen would handle Lebron and take him out of his game.

do you really think Pippen could guard Lebron? Scottie never faced a guy like Lebron before.

no of course not but pippen would be able to contain him better then anyone else has.

I agree but in 2on2, Lebron would abuse Pippen

I would pick Kobe Bryant and LeBronze James over those other guys even when they were still young.

Chris Paul and Dwight Howard

I think you're just too young.

Kobe's talent does not compare to Jordan's. Jordan was simply unguardable on offense. He would stop Kobe on defense. LeBron would be able to beat Pippen on both ends. But the gap between Jordan and Kobe is a lot wider.

Dream Pairing

Kobe and The King or Pippen and MJ?
