How many rings would Jordan and Pippen have without Phil Jackson


Since everyone has established what separates Jordan from the rest of the field is mental

[Marchesk]

Since everyone has established what separates Jordan from the rest of the field is mental

It's aesthetics. Jordan was extremely pleasing to the eye. Only Dr J comes close. Kobe was not quite able to copy that, but he does please. Lebron is not pleasing.

Since everyone has established what separates Jordan from the rest of the field is mental

The only people who say that are the ones who know nothing about the psychological reputation of other legends who played before MJ.

Nobody wants to see people easily drop 40 points, but we can thank Silver for that.
