View Full Version : So the only knock on MJ is that rookie MJ "only" did what peak Curry just did

8 seed and 1st Round loss
And everyone loses in their first few years if they weren't drafted to a good team, so I guess it makes sense that the only knock on the goat is actually not a knock at all.
Btw, Jordan's rookie team didn't have a lottery pick like Wiseman or veterans like Dray, Wiggins and others.. Curry's season was overrated.
Didn’t know Curry has a second option equivalent to Orlando Woolridge.

Dray is a HOF'er according to the people you put faith in (media), while Curry had 2 Woolridge's with Wiggins or Oubre (seasoned vets that played on the same level as Woolridge throughout their career).
In addition to Dray and 2 Woolridge's, Curry also had a lottery pick Wiseman, while Jordan was the lottery pick.

Rookie Jordan had zero HOF teammates, zero goat organizations, zero prodigy #1 pick teammates and zero lottery draft picks like Wiseman (jordan was the draft pick)
So Jordan had way less help.. it isn't remotely close.

Then why don't you just say him instead of naming injured and/or horrible players.
Steph also missed 9 games himself. They went 1-8 without him losing by an average at 18 PPG. 38-25 with Steph in the lineup, good for a 50 win season over 82 games. FAR greater than the below .500 Bulls.
The Warriors in general the 5th most injured team in basketball. Of playoff teams, only the Hawks had more games missed.
What Jordan did in his rookie year isn't in the same league as what Curry did this year.
1. Curry isn't the 8th seed just yet... let's not do Memphis like that lol
2. All we have ever heard about MJ was that he was this bona-fide winner, under no circumstances at every point in his career no matter what. We just want the same energy yall give everyone else when they fall short.

I agree with 3ball here, Draymond is like a pippen but everybody loves Pippen and hates Draymond? i don't get it.
Curry didn't carry shit this season, his on\off is not even better then Draymond and they are just an 8th seed.

Pippen is better playmaker and defender. Even if Pippen’s offense wasn’t going he’d still give you 15ppg. Draymond might give you 0 fvcking pts

Draymond has 3 seasons that are higher then Pippen's best assist years (16,18,21) and his 2017 season ties Pippen's career best.
This year in particular, 8.9 assists with morons like Oubre and Wiggins on his team.

Your excuse is injuries?
Jordan joined a lottery organization. He didn't have championship coaching or organization, let alone HOF teammates like Dray or #1 draft picks like Wiseman or Wiggins.
And Jordan was a rookie no less.. yet still better than peak Curry
Then why don't you just say him instead of naming injured and/or horrible players.
Rookie and sophomore Lebron had an all-star center on his team, but only won 40 games.
Furthermore, the all-star duo of Lebron/Zydrunas had 2 years of building in the lottery (draft picks, acquisitions) before entering the playoffs in Year 3 as a favored, high seed... It's fraud to compare a seasoned, high seed to rookie Jordan's 8 seeds that had zero building or additions.
Lebron's additions included a 22/5/5 all-defender and the future COY (top defenses).. These developed, high seeds easily competed in a conference that 1-star teams were winning, while MJ had a Curry-like 8 seed in a conference that required a super-team to win it.

GSW is a topnotch organization.
Meanwhile this is what rookie Jordan had to deal with.
“Look, guys were doing things I didn’t see [before],” Jordan said in “The Last Dance.” “I had one event, preseason … I think we were in Peoria. It’s in a hotel, so I’m trying to find my teammates. So I start knocking on doors and I get to this one door and I knock on the door and I could hear someone say, ‘Shh, shh, shh, someone’s outside.’ And then you hear this deep voice say, ‘Who is it?’ I say, ‘MJ.’ And then they all say, ‘Ah [expletive], he’s just a rookie, don’t worry about it.’
“So they open up the door, I walk in and practically the whole team was in there. And it was like things I’ve never seen in my life as a young kid. You got your lines over here, you got your weed smokers over here, you got your women over here. So the first thing I said was, ‘Look, man, I’m out.’ Because all I can think about is if they come and raid this place right about now, I am just as guilty as everybody else in this room. And from that point on, I was more or less on my own.”
Stats will be filled up by woolridge and other players but they don't represent the true value of those players.

EXACTLY.
So peak Dray plays like rookie Pippen. Prime Pippen blows him away. The 2nd 3peat Pippen you shit on scored on more than double volume. Peak Pippen in 1994 scored on triple volume. While leading the league in DRTG playing GOAT defense.

Wiggins, Wiseman, and Oubre ALL had a negative BPM. They were negative players. Wiseman was -5.4, one of the worst in the NBA. Oubre wasn't much better at -2.1. Both performed below replacement level. And this is evident given the Warriors record when Steph was out (1-9, losing by an average of 18 points per game). They were 38-25 when Steph played, good for 50 wins in an 82 games schedule. FAR better than the below .500 Bulls.

And it showed how negative the rest of the team was given how they functioned without Steph. They're a 9 win team when Curry missed games, and a 50 win team when he played. And of course it's not just the value. We can also discuss the scoring title on a ridiculous 65 TS%.

So um...you know that guy Wiseman who you keep hyping as a #1 pick? Um...given that less than a year ago the Warriors had the number 1 overall pick...doesn't that kinda make them the definition of a bummy lottery team? :lol

The warriors are a good defense for sure because dray is still good, but that doesn’t matter, they’re the worst offense in league with even another all star instead of curry and wouldn’t crack 30 wins in 82 game year. I like say trae young a lot but gs is a joke with him instead of curry trying to carry an offense with bad shooting and talent around him.
Dray is not very helpful on that end and Wiggins is only other serviceable talent (he’s just average). Wiseman was god awful, oubre was very bad. Their bench is lowkey not awful but made up of absolute no names who are role players and wouldn’t get minutes on pretty much any other playoff team. it’s kind of a miracle that a team in 2021 can make the playoffs with Andrew Wiggins as the 2nd option
