Emmanuel Acho Says He Would Rather Have Scottie Pippen’s Career Over Kevin Durant’s Career
Scottie Pippen and Kevin Durant made headlines last week after the Chicago Bulls legend compared the Brooklyn Nets superstar to LeBron James, saying the King was a better team player than Durant.
KD didn't like that and replied on Twitter, as he always does. It didn't take long for the NBA community to react to this and start comparing the two players. The KD vs. Pippen narrative made it to TV, and analyst started discussing it.
Former NFL player-turned-analyst Emmanuel Acho was one of those. He sided with Pippen on this one, calling him the greatest Robin of all time. Further, he added that being the greatest Robin ever is a lot better than being another Batman.
“We would always rather be the greatest Robin of all-time than just another Batman.”
As always, NBA Twitter had something to say about this. Some agreed with Acho picking Pippen, while others went off on him and blasted him for comparing a generational talent like Durant to a sidekick like Scottie.
KD's career is not over yet. He just finished his first season back after an ACL injury, playing great basketball. However, until he doesn't win a championship with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green by his side, people will trash him. It's not like KD loses his sleep over that, but he's competing to get more silverware.
Until that moment, fans will see him as a fake champion, which is why a lot of them believe being a Pippen is better than being a Durant.
