@LOUVIC79 @NBAinthezone While we stating facts. Not only was that MJs worst FG% in the finals for his career. GP only got the primary matchup against MJ for the final 3 games. In those games Sonics were 2-1 and MJ shot under 37% combined including 5/19 in game 6.
@ShootingGuru1@nbarealist23 He’s regarded as one of the top PGs of all time and is in pretty much every all time PG list…
Also probably not the all time steal or assist leader if he played today because of how the game has changed which I’d argue would hurt his overall legacy.
@FoePRVLGD @JacobCoope51267 @ayknowsball@LegionHoops I guess we agree MJ COULDN’T win by himself so at least we have some common ground.
And interesting that when they lost 4-1 MJ was MVP/DPOY so you could argue he had peaked individually already but as Pippen improved and turned into All NBA/D player they started “progressing” 🤔
@FoePRVLGD @JacobCoope51267 @ayknowsball@LegionHoops If MJ could win by himself how come during his greatest individual seasons (highest PPG, highest AST/TRB, MVP/DPOY) he wasn’t even able to even make it to the finals with “individual effort”
And Bulls won 50 games in 88 and but dropped to 47 in 89 and were 3-8 vs Pistons overall
@FoePRVLGD @JacobCoope51267 @ayknowsball@LegionHoops Every year he won a ring Pippen was All-D and 5 of 6 years he was All-NBA too. Also only won once Phil came along and it became the triangle offense not just run through MJ 🥴
@nbarealist23@JEazy830@uSTADIUMNBA@PodcastPShow Jordan didn’t win a single game against Bird in the playoffs, played post Showtime Magic without Kareem or Cooper, and never played against Duncan or Hakeem in the playoffs because he “retired” twice. Lost to Shaq and needed to add 2x DPOY Rodman before running it back.
@TomLockjr@DjtOperations@LBJsBest When MJ beat the Pistons they were already on the way out. They had their worst regular season record since Rodman joined the team and never won another playoff series.
Next you gonna say he ended the Lakers dynasty too lol
@camjordan94 NBA got 6’4”-6’8” athletes that could get thrown in at WR and make some plays.
What NFL players have the right body type for the NBA? Anyone under 6’ is probably too short and under 6’6” would have to play PG/SG
Also is DNP and LP for early week practice not load management?
@keyz2dacity89@FirstTake@KendrickPerkins@jj_redick When did I say he was? I didn’t even put their names in the same sentence lol
Even numbered the points to keep it simple and it still went right over your head 🤦♂️
@keyz2dacity89@FirstTake@KendrickPerkins@jj_redick Perk’s “facts” do lie tho
1. Dirk and Jokic were both top 5 points scored in their MVP seasons
2. Perk stopped at 1990 cause Magic won MVPs in 89 and 90 but wasn’t a top 10 scorer either year and that didn’t fit his narrative
@tlbjr_25 @LeBronPlswin23 @OfficiallYBfan @oprahsideclark@BleacherReport@uninterrupted Mike came back. They lost to the Magic (who got swept in the finals) and had to go out and add 2x DPOY Rodman to secure the paint cause Mike couldn’t do it himself.
