When did the KD Warriors or Bird Celtics lose to an 8 seed?

It's never happened, and even if it happened once - how is something that basically never happened a knock on Jordan?

1-9 is due to circumstance (having a 30-40 win team vs a champion)

Let me see what 3ball had to say about this:


It's bad that Jordan went 1-9

Correct :applause:

Hakeem basically did that with a 47 win team

Rockets were defending champion

And they added another player that produced more than pippen - a completely higher tier of production - Drexler has higher PER, BPM, WS/48 and VORP then Pippen, just like Wade, AD, Kyrie and Love

The ‘1-9’ criticism never appeared until 2017. Jordan had been retired from the bulls for 19 years. There was a 19 year span since Jordan’s retirement that fans, sports critics and haters alike never mentioned the numbers ‘1-9’. You would think that if this was such a black mark on his career that the media at the time of Jordan’s first 3-peat would have recanted this stat endlessly. The fact that the ‘1-9’ meme only happened nearly 20 years after Jordan retired from the Bulls shows the frivolity of that stat. It’s a meme with no analysis. Just something to repeated gratuitously from people who have no interest in the game but their own short lived 3 seconds of fame for saying something ‘funny’.
