Most stacked/talented roster ever assembled










Too bad Kobe barely got them into the playoffs.

No way Jordan wins in 2015 Finals.


The Cavs won 2 games even though Lebron allowed Iggy to average 10 ppg above his norm.

So Jordan would've won because he never let Magic or Drexler average 10 ppg above their norm, let alone Iggy.. Nor did he ever shoot 39% against repeated single-coverage and clearouts.





No way Jordan wins in 2007.


Despite Lebron's' abysmal 22 ppg on 35%, every game in that series was a single-digit affair, including one-possession nail-biters in Games 3 and 4.

Obviously, if Lebron averaged 32 ppg on 50%, the Cavs win easily.





No way Jordan wins in 2014.


In all of these hypotheticals, we shouldn't be assuming Jordan is replacing Lebron RIGHT BEFORE the Finals - we need to assume Jordan was with the Heat from prior seasons.

Obviously, if Jordan and his superior, off-ball style had been with the Heat from prior seasons, the team would play completely differently... They would be known for super-smart, structured play MORE than the Spurs and would be the favorites heading into the 2014 Finals.

Remember - the Heat didn't lose because they had inferior talent than the Spurs - they lost because they played a vastly inferior brand of basketball, which wouldn't be the case on a Jordan-led team.

Nash was old. Kobe and even Gasol were fading. Anyone with any sense could see that it wouldn't really work.

I remember being told to "Witness", "The Chosen One". What they didn't tell us though, is that he would be a finals loser. "Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4.....". Hes almost to the 8 he predicted though.

Steve Nash = breaks leg in second game. Turns into a cripple

Dwight = still recovering from back injury.

Pau = injured half the season. Plays 42 games.



When trolling gets this desperate, then it's really a mental disease.

I feel bad for the kid at this point.
