Why wasn

I mean if MJ truly did cultivate goat level teamwork why did that mean reducing BJ to a scrub?

[The Iron Fist]

Because it

Armstrong was better with MJ in '93 than he was without him in '94.

Cause he wasn

classic Jordan stunting

He was as good as George Hill. Really good all-around PG with no real weakness and strong on both ends

But not an all-star caliber PG. That's why the league was weak when MJ retired hence Latrell Sprewell being 1st team All NBA arguably worst selection ever. When the god of ur sport retires it had a rippling effect on the league

Jordan already turned a Sixers Iggy player (Pippen) into a hall of famer and perennial star wing

And turned a Dario Saric player (Kukoc) into a perennial championship 6th man

People called MJ a ball-hog in the 80's, but teammates were actually growing by leaps and bounds alongside him.. Pippen, Horace and BJ grew from single-digit rookies into all-star caliber by the time MJ retired in 1993..

And his improving cast was the changing factor that allowed winning, not MJ passing more - MJ averaged 6 assists in the 80's, including an 8 assist season.. So he was always a good passer - that never changed - the thing that changed was his cast got better (which proved that his game was infact optimal and helped teammates)

Otoh, Lebron gets destroyed the same way whether he's an underdog (07'), or a high-seeded super-team (14')... the problem was never Lebron's cast, it was always his game (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13867350&postcount=101)

they were improving every year and improved into all-star-caliber by the time MJ retired in 1993, and made it the very next year
