Pippen is a six-time champion and a Hall of Famer. There would be zero shame in having a profession that mirrored his.
Antetokounmpo is extremely at possibility of be named MVP for the 2d straight year after main the Bucks to the league’s simplest file. His team trails the Miami Heat 2-0 within the Eastern Conference Semifinals, nevertheless to counsel he’s no longer a main huge name is… successfully, let’s be good and fetch in touch with it misguided.
Meanwhile, James has never performed 2d fiddle to somebody in his profession. He led the Heat in scoring and assists in all four of his seasons with the organization. Wade even known as himself the “2d possibility” in 2013.
So let’s dispense of the silly notion that James ever performed the Robin to Wade’s Batman.
