jordan's 41 in the finals on FIFTY PERCENT SHOOTING is most dominant performance ever

[3ball]

and 20 ppg more than sidekick for a 3-peat.... Name a better performance, and performances that are more than 10 ppg less or with equal-scoring partners don't qualify.

Btw, The Bulls and Suns both averaged exactly 106.7 ppg and 113.0 ortg in that series.

So every ounce of the 41 on 50% was needed.. If Kobe replaced Jordan and shot 48% - the Bulls lose.. And guys like KD never averaged 40 because it's really hard, especially in a in a slow-paced, physical series (89 pace).. Ultimately, KD lacks Jordan's power (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?492849-The-goat-drop-step).

Tatum is averaging 50ppg
MJ has never had to burden the load like Tatum

Against who?

A bottom 25% finals team of all time? Yawn.

Against who?





Against a team with a similarly-ranked defense, and far more scorers

The Bulls were completely outmatched against the stacked Suns, but Jordan averaged 41/9/6 so they won

on 50% too

I find LeBron leading a Finals series in all major categories far more impressive.

A night before game 4, Jordan and Barkley had gone golfing. The then assistant coach of Bulls Johnny Bach narrated the story. The two played 48 holes of golf. Interestingly, Jordan brought Barkley a $20,000 diamond earring after the game. And more interestingly, it was only for Barkley to think he was good friends with Jordan, so he would leave the latter alone in the game.


“The day before game 4 of the Bulls Suns finals with the Bulls leading the series 2-1. Michael and Charles Barkley went golfing. They played 48 holes of golf. And Michael bought Charles a $20,000 diamond earring,” Bach said.

“Johnny asked MJ, “what did you do all that for?” Michael responded, “he won’t get in my way the rest of the series, what’s $20,000 to me? Charles thinks we’re great friends. I hate that fat f—.” Jordan dropped 55 in game 4 and Barkley never touched him once.”

Thunder Dan:lol

GOAT doing GOAT things

Thunder Dan:lol


Thunder Dan > Bogdanovic or the TON of unathletic shooters in today's 3-point league

People say today's league is more athletic but I don't see it.. all I see is unathletic shooters

Dan was actually athletic and got 70+ dunks a year.. He would be a perennial all-star today.

The Suns were not a good defensive team lmao.


the 91' Lakers and 92' Blazers had better defenses and far more scorers than the Bulls.. Only Jordan's complete dominance and carrying the scoring load allowed victory.

The 96' Sonics and 93' Suns also had more scorers and similarly-ranked defenses...

Only the Jazz had talent that the Bulls could match. But the Jazz had the best brand of ball that demolished Shaq, Hakeem and Duncan before losing to MJ
