2006 Wade: "I got fouled!"

Ref: "All he did was breath next to you."

2006 Wade: "Yes, but it changed the trajectory of my shot."

Ref: "Alright, foul on number 42!"

Granted, he does get hit on drives, but what makes him talented at getting calls is his ability to exploit the shit out of questionable (grey area) calls in his favor by exaggerating just enough and forcing contact.

Jordan definitely got more calls than anyone else. All you have to do is look to his 98 "farewell" season where he took 8.8fta's. Whats the problem? The problem is that, that is the most ft's he took per game since 1989. So a guy who has been moving away from the basket and driving less and less takes the most ft's since he was 25? Yeah that's not fishy...a Jordan who was primarily getting his points in the mid post averages 8.8fta's...something he didn't even do in the early 90s?...right. They gave him a farewell tour, alright.

the 1988-89 season MJ went to the line an avg. of 9.8x per game.

His next highest FTA per game was........the 1997-98 season when he avg. 8.8 per game. How could someone (out of his prime) who drives less to the basket due to lost athleticism and now settling for more jumpers/set shots be getting to line almost as much as he did ( in his prime) 9yrs prior?

Mj drived or wrked in the post at 33-35. He was averging 8 fts in 96. He also had a broken knuckle in 98 which is why he had to adjust his shot. He shot horrible from midrange at the start of 98. He was driving more because of that.

He had an injured hand in the '98 season that affected his shooting, and adjusted by driving to the hoop way more than he had in his previous 2 seasons. Also the handchecking rules were softer after 94

Just take the L and move along. Jordan dislocated his right index finger several times from '95-'98. He had ligament damage as a result:


Such was the case Saturday against Los Angeles. Jordan dislocated the finger on his shooting hand and took a seat on the bench next to Rodman, who has been bothered by calf injuries. Pippen scored nine of the Bulls' next 11 points as Chicago took control of the game.

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/457331/JORDAN-DECLARES-BULLS-ARE-NOW-PIPPENS-TEAM.html?pg=all

"When Hefferon did the surgery, he saw all the ligament damage I already had from dislocating my finger so many times," Jordan said. "So the only thing he could do was reattach the tendon. He said, `You'll lose some mobility; there is nothing I can do.'

You don't know the facts... MJ had 89 dunks in 1998... That would rank 2nd in Kobe or Tmac's entire careers.. And it would be BY FAR the most dunks in a season for Westbrook's career, or Paul George and just about everyone... You guys don't realize how athletic MJ was, that's all.

MJ still went to the hole a ton in 1998, and he was much smarter than he was in 1989, so he knew how to draw fouls better... Unfortunately, for someone like you who's never picked up a basketball, you can't comprehend how a player can get better at drawing fouls as he gets older.. :rolleyes:

Btw, in MJ's prime, he got 150 dunks a year - the only non-bigs in history that dunked that much are Dr. J...... Lebron.......... That's it.. Let me know if you want me to post the source where MJ's dunks were recorded - they come from old Philadelphia 76'er media guides - their media guides in the late 80's and 90's tracked everyone's dunks.

Exactly. I remember watching a 1998 Knicks vs Bulls game back then and felt that he was getting every call. Nearly as bad as the Heat during those few postseason series that they got way more calls than the other team.

From that site.

Late 90s Data Disclaimer: Data from 1996, and to a lesser extent data from 1997, 1998, and 1999, has known problems. The NBA appears to have kept coarser location data back then, especially around the hoop, where virtually all shots were chunked into the same bin. It also seems that some shots simply have inaccurate location data. Unfortunately it is difficult to correct for these innacuracies, so the late 90's charts should be interpreted cautiously.

The retard that constantly uses the more irrelevant stat know to man (plus-minus) worried about the accuracy of some stat.

And people call Harden a manufactured superstar. You couldn't touch MJ in the nineties and they even made rule changes so he could finally get past the Pistons. :lol

that's the NBA. all these superstars are manufactured. LeBron is allowed to travel and stiff arm people while getting plenty of touch calls that scrubs don't get.

it's the NBA's business model, stop watching if you don't like it.

Yes, Michael Jordan was a subject for favoritistic treatment from the league, but the preferential treatment only became blatantly dubious after his first retirement; that was after his impact on the league was sorely missed, as it became more contrasted than ever how the best player in the world--also the acclaimed GOAT to many after he capped off his first three-pear--popularized the league and globalized interest in it.

Before that first retirement, there weren't any blatant Jordan-centric agendas; look at how physical the defense was, especially against the "Bad Boys" that his team was roadblocked against until their breakthrough in 1991. Favoritistic agendas were only aimed at the more lucrative series, such as the Knicks-Bulls series; since that agenda was also aimed more towards extending the series than to favor either team, as they are both high-market franchises, the advantages and disadvantages worked both ways.

Michael Jordan's career stretch from 1984-93 already out-accomplishes the careers of any modern players alone; his second three-pear, which is where the preferential treatment actually became a factor, only iced the cake. Even then, the officiating wasn't that blatant to truly render those accomplishments discreditable; otherwise, it would be well-documented, a la Lakers-Kings Game 6 in the 2002 Western Conference Finals.

Link to broken knuckle?

Beginning of the season doesn't = avg. for the whole reg. season.
Look for the link yourself numnuts. He had the broken knuckle the whole year he just had to adjust to it. In fact he had bad knees that season too at 35. Go to google and type broken knuckle 98 Mj.

From that site.

Late 90s Data Disclaimer: Data from 1996, and to a lesser extent data from 1997, 1998, and 1999, has known problems. The NBA appears to have kept coarser location data back then, especially around the hoop, where virtually all shots were chunked into the same bin. It also seems that some shots simply have inaccurate location data. Unfortunately it is difficult to correct for these innacuracies, so the late 90's charts should be interpreted cautiously.
Didn't you just say Mj wasn't driving more in 98 yet he had has many dunks has Prime Kobe and shot more in the paint then previous season at 35 years old.

Mj and the Bulls wasn't getting any special treatment after his first retirement either. Look at 98 ecf
