asterisk ring. Pistons were decimated by injuries and Scott and Worthy got injured in the finals. Bulls would've still won imo because Nike was breathing down Stern's neck if you consider gifting cash favors as breathing down someone's neck.

Know your history youngins

look at that scoring load

600 of those Pip's assists were probably for MJ

Pip knows where to give the ball when it's crucial time

The Pistons were at full strength by the playoffs. Worthy and Scott still wouldn't have changed the outcome.

The right team won.

Mother Nature and Father Time are undefeated.

If you actually had followed the Lakers throughout the 80's, it was obvious that the 1991 Lakers were well past their 'sell by' date, and injured on top of that. I think the Bulls still win even if the Lakers avoided those injuries. At that point, they were the Showtime Lakers in name only by then, and the Bulls were finally figuring it all out (how to win in the playoffs).

On this day in 1991 the monkey beat me over the fence or I would have been your daddy.

On this day in 2001, the doctor informed OP's mother that it is too late for an abortion.

A bit dissaponting. Is 3ball banned? No comments from him in this or the other troll thread.

I always took them as a part of God. Different personalities as you will but a sum part of the whole.

Siakam played better in Game 1

Pippen wasn't a superstar in 1991 or in his prime, so MJ won without a superstar cast and with a young, developing team...

Accordingly, he needed the highest Finals gamescore ever to win, and the highest combo of pts/assists in a Finals

PIPPEN -. 21.0.. 9.1..... 6.6.. 2.4 spg.. 1.0 bpg.. 45.3 fg.. 17.5 gmsc

JORDAN - primary defender on Magic (14 of 20 qtrs)

Show me where Lebron won a Finals with a 10-point gap over his 2nd option, while guarding the other team's best player

Wow I thought Pippen was a scrub from the way 3ball talks about him :biggums:

No he wasn't

You guys make that up

MJ was an equal or better defender and always guarded the other team's best player
