Could Jordan have won 2 rings without a legit big man like 2012-2013 LeBron..

[Gus Hemmingway]

Or won without another starting PG like 2020 LeBron?

This is why LeBron >> Jordan


He can win in more situations with Jordan

He won as a big and rim protector in Miami, he won as a PG with LA in 2020


Jordan without the triangle, Top 10 all time wing, and All-NBA defenders surrounding him is a 1-9 guy

Jordan won with Bill Cartwright and Luc Longley as starting C. And John Paxson and Ron Harper as starting PG.

So legit big men and legit PGs?

People dont realize how good the centers that jordan played with were that ultimately carried him to championships.

Longley would take peak marc gasol to school. Not to mention bill wennington who had serious midrange skills for a big. Cartwright would simply be a top center today.

The second threepeat Bulls' best lineup was probably their smallball lineup with Harper/Jordan/Pippen/Kukoc/Rodman. How did they handle behemoths like Shaq? Pretty well actually. Rodman was strong enough to beat Shaq down the floor and not let him get deep position and MJ was constantly playing the passing lanes turning a lot of entry passes into turnovers that led to fast breaks. Shaq did well when he caught the ball deep but they dramatically reduced the number of touches he got. The quickness of rotations of those Bulls players was GOAT. And their defensive motor. They used to press opposing PG's 94 feet which also broke guys down.

The Heatles were lucky not to play in an era of great big men. I remember they made Roy Hibbert look like a monster. They played defense kind of like the 90's Bulls. They took that recipe but they didn't have such quick rotations... Lebron and Wade by that point were more slow-footed than MJ and Pip.

Also this thread makes no sense if you actually understand the concept of eras. In the 90s, Cs were a lot more dominant to the impact of the overall game. These days in the 3pt lowIQ chucking era, Centers are 6'7.
