[KembaWalker]

let's look at the teams they played as well.

LeBron James: 6-4 Wizards: 42-40. Detroit: 62-18

Michael Jordan: 1-9 Bucks: 59-23. Boston: 67-15 (top 3 GOAT team). Boston: 59-23

Shaquille O'neal: 5-5 Indiana: 47-35. Boston: 35-47. Chicago: 47-35

Larry Bird: 6-4

Magic Johnson: 8-2

Hakeem Olajuwon: 7-3 Utah: 41-41. Denver: 47-35. Sacramento: 37-45.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 5-5

Bill Russell: 7-3

Wilt Chamberlain: 4-6

Tim Duncan: 5-5 Phoenix: 56-26. Utah: 62-20. Minnesota: 25-25 (lockout)/41-41.


MJ played the GOAT team twice. and a 59 win team in his rookie year. With a completely crappy roster. People who only look at 1-9 don't seem to know that.

its MJs own fault that he couldnt get more W's in the regular season so that he could be a higher seed.

[SouBeachTalents]

What were their records in their first 10 Finals games?

[Trollsmasher]

its MJs own fault that he couldnt get more W's in the regular season so that he could be a higher seed.
this

[tmacattack33]

I'm not sure why this even matters.

so you are saying that not making the playoffs at all would be better than make the playoffs and lose in the first round?

[ISHGoat]

so you are saying that not making the playoffs at all would be better than make the playoffs and lose in the first round?

no im not, im saying that it would be better to get a higher seed in the first round so you can face a weaker opponent

[DonDadda59]

From 1-9 to GOAT. The American Dream. :applause:

[Solefade]

so you are saying that not making the playoffs at all would be better than make the playoffs and lose in the first round?


so are you saying making it to the conference finals and losing is better than making it to the finals and losing? :rolleyes: ISH

[Trollsmasher]

1-9

what else is new?

[dh144498]

so are you saying making it to the conference finals and losing is better than making it to the finals and losing? :rolleyes: ISH

when did i say that. But obviously yall need to have a consistent train of thought. You dog MJ for being 1-9 in the first 10 playoff games, but refuse to acknowledge 2/5. Otherwise you should abandon that argument.

[Done_And_Done]

Great thread.
