Unfortunately this matters not a jot to me in that even if we do achieve glory this year (which of course we will) living in the UK I'm not gonna see the parade.
That being said though I can admire from afar.

So you think Pippen is better than LeBron also?

Many youngsters have no clue Cincinnati even had a pro basketball team and had a local boy (Bearcat) and one of the greats of all time (Oscar Robertson) played for them.

I was 15 when the Bengals came to town, and being from Dayton and a Reds fan, it was a no brainer to switch from the Browns to Bengals.

I believe Oscar Robertson to be the most underrated basketball player of all time.

Dumb question. Who is the Cavs second best player?

Compare that guy to Pippen.

Not a dumb question at all,

If all that matters is rings then you would have to say that Pippen is better than Jordan.

And Jordan would not even be close to Bill Russell.

Fletch is still better than them all.

Win us a damn championship, Bengals. We have suffered long enough!

I'm not jealous at all. I am very happy for Cleveland. Consider it. 1.3 million come out to celebrate in a city of less than 500k people. No looting, no riots, no destruction. Just celebration. They invite Bernie Kosar to participate because of how close they came and how much he means to the city. He shows up in his old Browns jersey.

That's class Cleveland. Well done. All around.

That's a dream come true scenario.......that's why it'll never, EVER happen.

Awe c'mon now. Even your Hawkeyes had a great season (til the postseason cough cough). It could happen.

I think Scottie Pippen is....

People act like he rode Jordan's coattails. In the season and a half Jordan was gone, Pippen was an MVP caliber player. He could guard 4 positions back then, and in today's league, he could guard all 5.... and shut you down.

I just met him last week too

Guys. Think about this:

Pittsburgh wins the Stanley Cup (CHECK)
Cleveland wins the NBA Championship (CHECK)
Baltimore wins the World Series (They are in 1st place right now but the Cubs look tough)
CINCINNATI WINS THE SUPER BOWL


All 4 cities are in the AFC North.

Consider me clueless but why would there be a riot after a basketball championship to where "they" would destroy their city?

I agree 100%, he was an animal when Jordan left.

Yep clueless then. 

It is far too common among pro sports (mostly hockey) that their fans get out of hand celebrating the victory.  My line of thought, which others clearly followed, was that I would not have been surprised if that happened in Cleveland after nothing to cheer for in so long.  My post was a kudo to Cleveland for not being that classless.

Most have Oscar in their top 5-10 ALL TIME NBA Greats ! The Big O's AVERAGING A TRIPLE DOUBLE for an entire season will never be matched.
