Looking back over the last 30 years, which rings are NOT better than MJ's?

[FromDowntown]

I would say maybe 2017 and 2018 but that's about it...

Which rings are NOT better than MJ's six?

2004?!

Pistons beat down the $tacked Lakers. Tough day for LA bois.

14, 15, 17, 18 are legit though.

2010?! Because of...?

There are some people who say that MJ's Bulls are the greatest team ever. But the 2017 Warriors were the ones to set the playoffs wins record. How can the 2017 rings be inferior?

Given the circumstances of officiating question ability ... how is 2006 not on this list? Lol merely because the Heat won? That ring had so many issues with officiating.

[MrFonzworth]

If LeBron is top 3, how is beating him not better? Did we get too accustomed to him not getting the job done that it holds less significance?

Jordan averaged 11 FTA's and 12 FTA's in the '96 and '98 Finals while primarily being a jumpshooter. Wade averaged 4 more FTA's while being, arguably, the GOAT slasher and finisher at the rim. Stick to defending Jordan's dick size, "coach". Actual basketball discussion isn't for you. :cheers:

Wade's playoff run was more impressive than anyone that I listed, and imo was absolutely on the level of 2nd 3peat Jordan

Crickets on this one

[Gougou]

99 (short season, spurs clear dominance over knicks)
07 (very stacked spurs vs a less talented team leaded by a 22 years old)
09 (lakers was clear favorite)
15 (lebron's team missing 2 key players)
17
18

Yup these.

Maybe the Lakers 3 peat rings, idk man... Lakers destroyed the east teams.

I don't think Kyrie & Kevin Love's absence made LeBron having a below 50% TS in NBA Finals 2015.

[LeCroix]

99 (Knicks)
07 (Cavs have no biz being there)
14 (Wade is pitiful in this Finals)
15 (injuries to #2+ #3 option)
17 (MVP joins UMVP + 73 wins ugh)
18 (see above + Cavs got worse)
19 (injuries to #2 + #3 option)

This is a good start due to lopsided games

[Overdrive]

Lebron's.

[LeCroix]

Lebron's.

What about 16 (injuries to Curry, Bogut & Iggy)?

[FromDowntown]

What about 16 (injuries to Curry, Bogut & Iggy)?


Curry was not injured, he averaged 29/7/8 on 50% before the Finals, thanks for reminding me to bump that. I forget some people dont know the history.

Bogut was not the #2 guy or #3 guy like in 2015 when Irving #2 and Love #3 went down, nor the like KD #2 and Klay #3 in 2019 Finals. Are you new to basketball? Do you understand options? Google some more and come back knowledgeable you rookie.

2016 Warriors
Curry
Klay
Dray
Iggy
Bogut (#5 at best?) Or would we even put Livingston above 12 minutes per game Bogut? I've never seen someone cry so hard for a 12 minute per game player.

[FromDowntown]

So basically so far from 1989 to 2019 we have 40 years and MJ's rings are not better than maybe 10 years at most?

So he is in the bottom tier of rings if we break it up by 10 rings per tier.

Tier 1 (top 10)
94
11
12
13
16
04

Tier 2 (next 10)
Tier 3 (next 10)
Tier 4 (bottom 10)
91
92
97
98
These are all guaranteed bottom tiers, 93 and 96 are up for debate. We can also add
15
18
19

So that is 6 rings in the weak, bottom tier. Who else had cheaper rings than these
91
92
97
98
14

19

2011 is a Tier I ring.
2014 is an awful win. Look at Wade, he made it inro the top 10 worst ppg Finals #2 in NBA history :lol

2015 duh, your IQ should be high enough to no longer need discussion

2017 had an MVP team with a Uniamous MVP, 73-win team
2018: See 2018 plus Cavs got weaker

Lmao reasons and alibis again, coupled with double standards and absurd justifications.

[FromDowntown]

Tier A and Tier F are easy to build, Tier B and C are the hard ones. Help me build the ring Tiers, 1989 to 2019 (40 years. 40 rings. 4 tiers of 10)

Tier A: 10
Tier B: 10
Tier C: 10
Tier F: 10

Tier A (6 of 10)

[MrFonzworth]

Wait so beating a top 3 goat back to back only warrants a tier F? Is it because we're so accustomed to him losing that it's expected?

Tim Duncan
Tony Parker
Manu Ginobli
Bruce Bowen
Robert Horry

Cavs:
LeBron James
Anderson Varejao
Drew Gooden
Boobie Gibson
Sasha Pavlovic

At least the spurs beat a "goat" of an opposing team. Also worth mentioning is because it resulted into a sweep. 💩

Pull up the rosters for 2018. Post them. Then continue your questioning. 2017 could be Tier C. COULD be.

I guess that was a tad bit too much to comprehend for you, ya know.
