Michael Jordan never had a game 7 in finals unlike Lebron James

[hiphopfan777]

Nothing special if James wins finals 2016. Got a glue guy suspended and a game 7. Jordan doesnt even know what that is. Also andrew bogut is injured and Steph Curry is hurt

[Prometheus]

You seem like someone who really lives in the moment.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Nothing special if a team becomes the first to win down 3-1, on the road, against one of the top 3 teams ever. Alright.

Here's a new one. 2/7 is not attractive anymore, now it's ''it doesn't count for Lebron, he had to play game 7!!!''

Priceless:oldlol:

What does Jordan have to do with Lebron being down 3-1 in the Finals and possibly making a great comeback?

The Cavs still have to win 2 more games with Green in the lineup, one a game 7. If the Cavs win, I'd give Lebron and all those guys all the credit in the world...But AGAIN...I'm a GROWN UP.

If my hometown wins Kyrie is walking away with the FMVP. They won't win though and lebron will go down in history as the guy who went 2/7 and lost back to back to back finals. ESPN will be castrated for ranking him 3rd all time by every media outlet. Interesting times. Interesting times indeed.

Damn, reaching. Now we're gonna start grasping at game 7s in Finals? (If Cleveland forces it)

Please.... if Jordan did have a game 7 and Lebron was 2/7 with never having played in a game 7 bron stans would somehow try to twist that like they do everything else and use that as justification that Bron was a better finals performer. :rolleyes:

1-9 was already debunked awhile ago. Try to keep up.


Time to put this 1-9 thing to bed:

1984-85 Bulls (38-44) faced (59-23) Bucks and lost (1-3). Win differential (21 games). Bucks of the mid 80's were a very good team.

1985-86 Bulls (30-52) faced (67-15) Celtics and lost (0-3). Win differential (37 games). This Celtics team is widely regarded as the GOAT team ever.

1986-87 Bulls (40-42) faced (59-23) Celtics and lost (0-3). Win differential (29 games). This Celtics team made the finals.



MJ's numbers during these 10 playoff games:

35.5 PPG, 27.4 PER 6.3 RPG, 6.9 APG, 2.4 SPG, 1.5 BPG


How can anyone in their right mind expect a rookie, 2nd and 3rd year MJ with utterly no help to beat an elite team (Bucks) and a GOAT level team (Celtics)? And yes, I can openly admit that early years MJ didn't exactly play championship level ball (taking what the D gives you and getting others involved). But even if he had played perfect, team ball, it still wouldn't have mattered because of the HUGE gap in talent between his team and the teams he faced were way too large.

Empty stats. 1-9 without Pippen and GOAT coach Phil.
If you make the first round and you are a superstar, you are expected to win. NO EXCUSES.

Jordan was better off losing to the Magic in the previous round.

Cavs went 42-40 and missed the 8th seed via tiebreaker with New Jersey.

If James played in the East in 1986 that record prob. would have got him the 3 seed considering Jordan got in with a 30-52 record.

:wtf: you can't be serious with this when it's that easy to check the standings. 42-40 would've been a 6th seed.

First, you're assuming that the Cavs would win 42 in 1986. 1986 and 2005 are worlds apart. The top 5 seeds in 1986 were all above 46 wins. In 2005, the third seed had 45 wins. There were two great teams, Miami and Detroit, and a glut of mediocrity. If Lebron couldn't lead the Cavs to the playoffs in 2005, he's not doing it in 86.

[Dragonyeuw]

:wtf: you can't be serious with this when it's that easy to check the standings. 42-40 would've been a 6th seed.

He's also acting like the Cavs would have the same record in 1986. If they could only muster 42 in 2005, how the hell are they doing that in 86? The Bulls were only a 30 win team because MJ missed 64 games, they're probably a 5th seeded team with him playing the entire year. Hell, the Cavs in 2005 couldn't even win more games than the fcuking Bulls led by Hinrich, Gordon and Eddie fcukin Curry.

That's why I said "probably".... not stating as fact, no big deal. But making the playoffs with 30 wins is pathetic.

[Dragonyeuw]

These are the records of the top 5 east teams in 1986:

67-15 Celtics
59-23 Bucks
54-28 Sixers
50-32 Hawks
46-36 Pistons


The east was top-heavy and loaded in the mid 80's, not complete shit like throughout Lebron's career. Hence why the lower 3 seeds were all sub .500. Of course, the Bulls with a healthy Jordan obviously win more than 30 games but you already knew that.

And that isn't assuming? ^^^^^

Like I said, they missed out via tiebreaker and they were 4 wins away from a 3 seed. MJ's Bulls in 86 were 24 wins away from a 3 seed.

Missing the playoffs with 42 wins and a winning record >>>>>> getting in with a 30-52 record as an 8 seed with no chance of winning whatsover/ getting swept.

It's a more reasonable assumption or opinion than simply transporting Lebron's Cavs in 1986 and assuming they'll win 42 games in a tough east, when they couldn't even achieve that in an unarguably weaker mid 2000's East. And let's not act like the Bulls weren't missing MJ for 64 games. A healthy MJ AT THE LEAST leads them to the same record than Lebron did in 2005, only in a much tougher conference.

I'm not making excuses. Lebron didn't make it that year, but he got his team to the finals after.
Jordan NEVER won more than 1 playoffs game without Pippen and Phil.

1-9

hey hey don't forget Ben Gordon and young Tyson Chandler. They were no contender but had a decently balanced roster(Curry was actually decent lol). Skiles wasn't bad as a poor man's Thibodeau. You're right about the MJ stuff ofc(i'm thinking 40-45 wins). I don't see much reason Lebron couldn't get his Cavs to 35-40 wins however and get a 8 seed however.

[LBJFTW]

But he went 1-9 until he had enough help like anyone else who's ever been successful in the NBA.

Well no shit. :roll:

A superstar should lead his team to the playoffs, especially in a shitty conference. The end.

6/6> 2/6

If your team is good enough to make the playoffs and you are a superstar, you should make the 2nd round. 1-9 is not good enough.

1/10 <<< 2/6


1-9

ah srry I meant Deng but he was definitely a role player that year.

Hard to believe someone could be wrong about so many things in one post

Imagine if Kawhi Leonard averaged 33 ppg on 50% within that Spurs system.

That's what Jordan did - he averaged those stats in a Spurs-like, equal-opportunity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIY_4vIxGEE&t=23m40s) system.

And btw - if Kawhi could average 33 efficiently within the Spurs system, than consider how much more control and execution the Spurs would have in the clutch MORE THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE.

Popovich has already likened (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11875185&postcount=49) Kawhi to Jordan (without the scoring ability of course).
