Scottie Pippen might be going insane, judging from some recent comments involving LeBron James.

“LeBron ain’t better than me until he gets six titles,” Pippen told TMZ Sports.

Well, that’s one ridiculous way to start your Wednesday morning, and it’s absolutely wrong. That’s the equivalent of saying Darko Milicic is better than a laundry list of NBA players without NBA titles because he won one his rookie year with the Detroit Pistons.

Do people forget that Bill Russell won 11 NBA titles? If we’re going to use this stupid argument of most NBA championships then Michael Jordan, Pippen and James aren’t even good enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as Russell. See how stupid that is?

Hell, Steve Kerr won five NBA championships. Is he now better than LeBron James? This is such a lazy and frustrating stance to take. It requires no actual critical thinking skills, and all you have to do is point at some numbers on paper. Pippen might have more rings, but there’s no chance he’s as good as LeBron. It’s not even close.
