What is the greatest team MJ faced in the finals?

Can we get an answer in this topic?
See above. I know it hurts. But all of those teams Jordan faced would have beaten lebron teams. They have a .666 chance of doing so.

Its just too easy.

On top of this and the ridiculous achievements, watch some games and highlight reels too.
He was bigger and better on and off the court.
A true winner.

One thing these kids will never get to understand though, is the sheer worldwide size in the 90s.
Every kid wanted to be him.

Theres no one around these days, not only in sport, but in general, who is as big and idolized like Jordan was.

It's why anyone with a clue on the game of basketball, and also the world, knows lebron literally isnt anywhere even close.

Lebron isnt close on court...even after all the collisions.
And off court, jesus, if Jordan is a 100, then Bron is a 1

Because LeGod's the GOAT. Anytime time He "loses" it is embarrassing. But He does what needs to be done to maintain the illusion of parity. The haters would be on life support if they had to suffer through LeHuge dominating 24/7. This would be a drain on the medical and economic systems of the world. Thus LeDong has taken it upon Himself to give these losers a reason to live by means of providing false hope. Ironically they are still on life support but the one that LeAllah provides them.

So wait... Lebron was 3-11 in the closeout game and it was Boobie Gibson that dominated with 31 points to send the Cavs to the Finals?... :biggums:

Oh shit... you're right.. Lebron averaged 21 on 41% outside of game 5, and Boobie sent the Cavs to the Finals in the closeout game... :eek:

Otoh, Jordan never played like dogshit while a teammate dominated to win a big playoff game... only Lebron did... :facepalm

infact, how many times has Lebron been saved by a teammate? Let's count:

1) Boobie in Game 6 of the 2007 ECF

2) Ray Allen's legacy save in 13' Finals

3) Kyrie's legendary shot over Curry to win the 16' Finals

4) the only thing that changed for the Cavs from 2005 (lottery 9 seed), to 2006 (4 seeded contender) was the addition of Larry Hughes and a coaching change to the future COY

5) Mike Brown's great defensive coaching allowed the Cavs to go 7 games against the Celtics in 2008, despite a horrific 26 ppg on 35% from Lebron
