This is the take! It wasn’t just the 6-6 in the finals, it was the absolute dominance, even when teams had him seemingly outmanned they just didn’t stand a chance. Closest thing was prime Tiger on Sundays
See, the issue is you think Jordan going 24-of-24 in series as higher seed is a “stat.” For other people, it was a crushing dominance they actually watched year after year.
@Jumpshot8 Because you replace Scottie with any All Star level wing Mike wins 6. You replace Mike with any other all star guard they maybe win 1. They ain’t equal
Rich Paul compares LeBron James to Muhammad Ali
“I always looked at LeBron as more of what I would call the people’s champion, like Muhammad Ali. Even when he lost, I feel like people really embraced him.”
(Via Game Over / h/t @NBA__Courtside )
There's a bit more to the Jordan mystique than going 6-for-6. It helps that MJ also went 24-0 in the playoffs as the higher seed. Never ever losing with homecourt advantage makes an impression on people https://t.co/SMFRBBiMiL
Tim MacMahon COOKED Rich Paul after he said Michael Jordan would be 0-6 without Scottie Pippen 🔥
"If you unplug Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat, LeBron doesn’t win titles there. If you unplug Kyrie from the Cavaliers, they don’t come back 3-1. If you unplug Anthony Davis from the bubble Lakers, they don’t win a championship."

@kwalker_phillyy Different vibes for sure, but you could argue Take Care. You can’t really argue Drug Dealer/ Kingpin album vs Vibes/ Player albums. I always side with that drug dealin’ kingpin rap
That’s why the Buster hyper ventilation I don’t understand. Yes, the pitching strategy this offseason sucked! And I don’t believe him for a second when he says ownership didn’t put a cap on him. But the Devers move is completely defensible
