What's more impressive - 6 straight Finals wins or 6 straight ECF wins?

[3ball]

.
If Jordan played in a weak conference and team-hopped to a squad with sufficient talent to make the Finals, he'd win the ECF every year, since he won the FINALS every year and he never underachieved on the basketball court

hmm what's better? becoming the winner of a talent show and winning $1,000,000 or becoming the runner up and leaving empty handed? hmmm

There's a reason why Jordan didn't win titles until the Celtics/Lakers/Pistons faded away.

The Lakers weren't fading in 1991 - Magic was runner-up for league MVP he averaged exactly 19/7/13 on 62% TS in both regular season and Finals.

Worthy was All-NBA in 1991 too - he was the Lakers' leading scorer in regular season (21 ppg on 49.2%) and Finals (19.3 ppg on 47%).

And the Lakers had far better personnel after Magic and Worthy:


.........................RS and Finals......................................RS and Finals

Sam Perkins........14/7 and 17/8 ...........Horace Grant.......13/8 and 15/8

Vlade Divac ........11/8 and 18/9............ John Paxson........ 9/2 and 13/2

AC Green............. 9/6 and 6/6.............. Cartwright.......... 9/5 and 9/6

Byron Scott......... 15/4 and 6/3............. Armstrong........... 9/3 and 2/1


Lakers had better talent, but when you have MJ dominating the Finals like no one else ever has, (the GOAT destroying Magic on biggest stage), you don't need nearly as much help..

Jordan never won 6 in a row. Just a heads up.

6/6 means he won 6 straight finals

just a heads up

[Hey Yo]

He never attempted to win 6 straight. He quit both times after winning the 3rd straight.

that's what happens when you average 36/7/8 in the 1991-1993 Finals.

that's the most dominance the NBA has ever seen, which left no more challenges for Jordan - no challenges is death to a competitor like Jordan, so he retired.

he was too good (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajjE_l7GxCA&t=3m37s) for the league

So 95 ECF never happened? Or the entire 94 season? Ok. :oldlol:

Jordan won 6 straight Finals that he entered - that's a fact - and that's more impressive than winning 6 straight ECF's

So keep dreaming when you think Jordan might not win successive ECF's in a weak conference after team-hopping to a squad with good talent.

Jordan didn't reach the Finals in 1995. He lost in the 1995 EC Semifinals.

He didn't reach 6 straight Finals.

He reached 3 straight twice.

He didn't reach 6 straight Finals.
Jordan won 6 straight Finals that he entered, which is more impressive than Lebron winning 6 straight ECF's that he entered.

Beating Finals teams is more impressive than beating ECF teams.

[HurricaneKid]

Jordan didn't have the stamina for more than 3 in a row.

LeBron = 2X MJ

(Yes, this is a dumb thing to say; but with OP you need to fight fire with fire)

[Hey Yo]

There were Finals played that Jordan didn't play in cause he chose to quit the league and not try. Therefore he didn't play in 6 straight.

If he had no more challenges, then why comeback after quitting the first time? What made the challenge harder when he cameback? Fresher legs and better teammates, as other opposing veterans just put 2 more seasons on their bodies?

That was the challenge?

:oldlol:


oh I forgot.....was it the challenge of coming back with 17 games left in the season to try to win a ring in the worst possible way of doing so??

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Such a thought-provoking question...

Give me some time to think about it, and I'll get back to you OP.
