Side note: If I made an all time team, Pippen would be my swing man. hands down the best that ever was. I would love to see prime Pippen guarding Lebron.

I talked this very subject a couple of years ago, and for the record I do think Pippen would give lebron some problems. Mainly he would keep the ball out of his hands as much, and that is the ultimate goal, normally unreached but Pippen could do it. |

I for one forgot how much of a player Iman was before the injury. This shows me what wehave been missing and Im looking to the future. NO WAY we trade this guy.

After watching these 2 highlight reels, maybe im way off on the comparisons, spreewell played with so much energy on both ends from day 1 of is career, shump has a long way to go, he really doesn't even remind me of a young spree at this point ES

They have different body types. Shump is more compact. He had more of a Wade kind of build before he lost all the weight he did during his rehab. Now his build is more like Payton's. Sprewell was more lanky. He had a build in the mode of Jordan, an excellent body type for the two-guard position. Spree was really physically gifted, a beast athletically, and an incredible finisher. I still recall his dunk on Barkley during the '94 postseason, which had Sir Charles backing up. Even he didn't want a part of Spree.
Spree could have been a far greater player than he was, had he been less of a headcase and more self-disciplined. He had real flashes of brilliance throughout his career (his 96-97 season was ridic), it's too bad that he'll go down as a good player who made a few All-Star teams, rather than an elite player. Shump doesn't have the physical gifts of Spree nor the offensive ability at this point. But I can't imagine him choking a coach or doing any of the boneheaded things Sprewell did. He seems to have a fun-loving personality, a guy you can't help but like, while appearing extremely dedicated to his comeback from injury & his improvement as a player. On the court, he's an intense competitor, energetic & very driven. He's a guy that seems to appreciate every moment of being in the NBA, possibly even more b/c of the ACL tear. At this stage of his career, I'd probably compare him to a younger Tony Allen. Allen when he was on the C's prior to his knee/ankle injuries. Shump hasn't shown enough YET on the offensive end to really be compared to Payton or Spree, and definitely not DWade. I think the Allen comparison may be the most apt right now. |

Payton 6'4", 180# Jordan 6'6", 216# More evidence that Shump is Jordan Very Lite The Will, check out the Official Home of Will's GameDay Art: http://tinyurl.com/thewillgameday
