opponents were no longer facing Ali or Babe Ruth when they faced the 94' Bulls, so no one gave a crap about playing them.. This is similar to the narrative earlier this season when Austin Reaves led the Lakers to a destruction of the Celtics in Boston without AD or Lebron - the narrative was that Boston wasn't up for the game, which was entirely...
Exactly, that type of comparison perfectly illustrates how the 94' season was a one-off fluke, which can occur for a myriad of reasons.. In this case, opponents were no longer facing Ali or Babe Ruth when they faced the 94' Bulls, so no one gave a crap about playing them.. This is similar to the narrative earlier this season when Austin Reaves led...

2010 Wade....... 28 PER.... 9.2 BPM*
2010 Kobe........ 21 PER.... 4.1 BPM
* 2nd in league across the board in primary advanced boxscore stats (PER, WS/48, BPM, VORP)
Lebron teamed up with the 2nd-best production rate in the league and put 3 of the top franchise players in the conference on 1 team (super-team).
JT just hasn't faced any real adversity in these POs with all the injuries, and he hasn't had the same highs. Luka was bad by his standards through the first 2 rounds, and even if you gave him the injury excuse he still didn't meet expectations as far as his individual play went, but he made up for it with arguably his best series ever in the WCF...
He's no longer on team MJ and is now a Klutch minion in disguise - he now calls Jordan and Kobe "just scorers" (classic Klutch propaganda).
Broussard also says that guys like Kobe, Kareem, or even Clyde Drexler aren't on the "best sidekick" list because they were 1st options for the "majority" of their careers, but then he puts perennial 1st...
Bulls were borderline .500 in 95' before MJ returned to restore 3-peat
the 55 wins in 94' was placebo effect against sleeping opponents and this bubble burst in the playoffs and following season - pippen could never build a 50-win team from scratch - he was simply handed the keys to the most well-oiled machine ever and quickly destroyed the...
He is but it’s a very short prime. 2016 Dray was wild. He had less offensive responsibility when KD came in 17 of course but he really fell off offensively. In 2016 he was a legit good 3 point shooter.
If dray was able to keep his 3 ball going in like it was in 2016 he might wind up as an ATG….. 3 and D with dpoy defense and can do a bit of...
I have to give the edge to Dirk although Mavs winning this year would be super impressive and you have to factor in Luka's age which only adds to the feat but 2011 had so many legends all at once, Kobe Duncan, Lebron all with strong teams.
