Damn. :eek:

Facing the Suns, Sonics, Malone/Stockton twice, Blazers and old Magic doesn't make you special.

Beating the greatest team ever, after being down 1-3 has been left out by the Chicago Tribune. Why is that? :confusedshrug:

27 ppg and still not able to win FMVP? :confusedshrug: Someone else obviously did more work than Kyrie, no? :confusedshrug:

The Warriors were not the greatest team ever. A team with that title would not have been down to the Thunder or choked away a 3-1 lead in any series.

It means lebron's teammate carried an equal scoring load/defensive attention in his Finals wins (only 2-5 ppg more than 2nd option)

Otoh, only MJ won his Finals by scoring 10-20 more than his 2nd option - only MJ had to carry such a burden/defensive attention. The bulls were a 1-man show on offense, as demonstrated by MJ's goat PPG and goat gap between him and 2nd option

Magic was 31 and runner up MVP. :oldlol: :facepalm

LeBron barely beat 36 year old Duncan and 35 year old Ginobili. Then got spanked by them the next year when they were even older.

You also can’t be the greatest team ever if you didn’t win a ring.

They had the best regular season record by a single game. A record they gunned for and had a lot of fluke wins to pad.

Down 3-1 to OKC. And lost a 3 games to 1 lead after the suspension and injuries to Bogut, and Iggy. That’s not the GOAT team.

It was a team of 3 all stars and good role players against a team of 3 all stars and good role players. Totally evenly matched.

[SamuraiSWISH]

only have one question: the buls didn't "gun" for 72 wins? And furthermore shouldn't all teams try to win games? :biggums:
Bro you know damn well what I mean.

A lot of teams if they

[PP34Deuce]

LOL I'm in Chicago. This is funny.

He's owned the Bulls since his rookie year. Even when that team had Deng, Rose, Noah.... Of course they are going to shade him lol.

Off topic, but Chicago needs to stop living in the past so much. We act like we've done so much yet our team (outside Blackhawks) have been utter dissappointments with bad ownership.

Cubs are going to be the 1985 Bears if they don't get to the world series in the next year.

31 is old now?

Suns had the most stacked roster of the 90s and Jordan had to put up 40+ a night to match their offense. Sloan's Jazz had one of the most consistent Playoff teams ever (only Spurs have a longer 50+ win streak IIRC) and Malone is one of the GOAT scorers and Stockton is considered a top 5 all-time PG.

Who did Lebron beat? A worn down Warriors team with Bogut, Iggy and Curry injured by the end of the series? Their best player being suspended for a close-out game?

yeah and again did the bulls not "gun" for 72 wins in 96? The 2nd best record in the league was 8 games back, the 2nd seed in the conference 12 games back. The Warriors 2nd best record in the league AND their conference was 6 games back. Tuck your bias in buddy. And why would i need to reply to some bs i don't care to? You twisted something unnecessarily and got called out for it....."coach"
It seems like you concede that MJ accomplished a lot more, but simply enjoy saying it was stat-padding, or that the bulls were "going for" 70 wins so it doesn't count

It's the same arguments we use against lebron, except we're knocking Lebron for losing, while you're knocking MJ for winning
