Giannis just had the greatest finals game ever.

Nobody can match that game 6. Jordan never played at this level.

True but giannis hasn't played in a finals like mj either and vice versa. Scoring was way harder in the 90's plus the paint was packed. Greek isn't doing this in the 90's and prime mj would go nuts in this era.

And i'm big on greek so not taking anything away from him. It just is what it is.

Jordan never played a team as good as the Phoenix Suns in the Finals. As 3ball said: The Lob City Clippers were better than Jordan's best Finals opponents(The Jazz).

Jordan scored 55 in the Finals and his highest teammate only had 14 (5 on 1 defense)

Yeah but Giannis had at least 3 teammates that were as good as Pippen - Middleton, Jrue, Lopez

it's just a fact.. so he had more supporting help that jordan ever did.. take Middleton and Lopez off the Bucks and you have the Bulls that Jordan carried to 6 chips

but Giannis has a chance to catch MJ if he wins a bunch more organic rings..

This is hella low iq buddy. I like suns but all of mj's finals opponents are better. Throw this suns team in the slower more physical 90's and they're struggling. U just saw hiw booker handles really physical play. Imagine how he'd struggle in the 90's

Lopez:biggums:


Lopez was buried as 4th or 5th option but he played better than Pippen ever did when Giannis was out against the Nets - Lopez completely dominated more than Pippen ever did, and Lopez always had better stats than Pippen before he became 4th option on the Bucks

No one's had a Finals like Giannis just did. Pretty sure he just put up the most efficient Finals in NBA history. Him and KD have the two greatest individual Finals series in league history.

I’ll take Jordan’s 1993 Finals of 41/9/6/2/1 over Giannis’ 2021 Finals of 35/13/5/1/2 all day every day.

Also the 1993 Suns were better than the 2021 Suns.

they didn't face 5-on-1 defensive attention because they had a lot more scoring or playmaking help... like, a LOT more

it's hard to match jordan because no one carried teams like him where he's the only one with good series stats on the team

Organically?

Jrue Holiday came in a massive trade just like AD. BRON and Bosh were also traded to the Heat.

As organic as it gets.

I agree. From game 2-6 Giannis was on another level.

About as good as Bron 2016 competition considered.

Organically in that he didn't have to go out and get a superstar to join him in order to win or join multiple stars to win.

Jordan faced 5-on-1 defense because he only had 1 pippen (who was shooting 45% TS), while Giannis had at least 2 Pippens, while Lopez was better than pippen against the Hawks (otherwise buried as 4th option)

No. Lebron’s henchman Rich Paul who was AD’s agent forced the trade to LA. Also Lebron was not traded to the Heat, he joined them in free agency. Are you not even old enough to remember “The Decision”?

The Bucks trade for Jrue was a completely different situation and anybody who even bothered to look in to that entire AD trade demand saga knows what took place.

And?

MJ had to carry the offensive load while also playing 46 minutes/g to Giannis’ 40 minutes/g.

Exactly, and he averaged 6 more points than Giannis in a slower-paced series (90 vs 95 pace)

Jimmy Butler is on the list twice. And everything since 2016. Obviously rule changes made everything different for this era. Imagine not having the bigs in the 80's and 90's like now.

Yup lets compare Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, John Stockton, and Karl Malone to Devin Booker and Chris Paul. Seems legit.

He just needed every other team to have injuries and his team trade all the future picks for jru holiday.

Jordan's opponents don't even have a game in the top 100 in the finals?

The fact that butler has 2 out of the 5 should tell u all u need to know about this era. You just proved that all these great stats lately are a result of the easier rules. Great job buddy. I hope you don't plan on being a lawer :roll:

Also hit a game-winning shot. And it was against a better Phoenix Suns team lol led by a player greater and better than old “moment is too big” Chris Paul and Devin Booker.

Hell that 1993 Suns team, had a point guard as good or better than this version of Chris Paul. And he’s Phoenix supposed best player

Take those 2 Butler games and match them up against Jordan's finals game.

Looks to me Butler out performed many of Jordan's games.

Does this make you upset?

The 93 Suns team the Bulls beat in the finals was better than this Suns team.

Nah man comparing stats in the easiest era ever to stats in one if the toughest era's ever is kind of silly. Plus i like butler. He's got that old school mentality and game. It's always a win when a poor mans mj does the shit that butler did in this era. It's a win win buddy:cheers:

Giannis finished with a 31.9 GameScore which is higher than what Lebron or anyone else has ever had. '00 Shaq should be 2nd at 30.6 and '17 KD is 3rd with 30.3
