We rewrote the record to say Jordan "overcame" the Pistons.


In fact, the truth was, IT beat Jordan 3 years in a row.

In a 2 on 2 competition against their fellow NBA Guards I think Michael and Isiah Thomas are the best duo.

I got the same result for OP.

[kawhileonard2]

I mean he won 3x more titles, 6x finals mvp's, 5x league mvp's and was on the original dream team. So who really was the dad here?

[bison]

Steph or Delonte...who is bronies dad?

Hezonja, da real lambo, valinciunas, Jason terry, JJ barea, Tim duncan, Kyle kuzma, Patrick Beverly….LeBarry has had MANY daddies throughout his career.

If anything, Zeke is Jordan's bitch

If anything, Zeke is Jordan's bitch

If anything, jordon's bitch ass was passed around to be abused by several greats:

Zeke: Beat jordon 3 straight times in the playoffs
Bird: Beat jordon 2 straight times in the playoffs
Hakeem: 6-0 against jordon during the Bulls' 1st three-peat, before jordon dodged him twice in the finals

:roll:

:roll:

Jordan averaged 30/7/6 on 48% in 22 playoff games against Zeke and in 1991, the Bulls swept the **** out of the Pistons so bad that Zeke didn't even want to shake hands :roll:

Jordan only lost to Bird in the playoffs because the Celtics were that much better. You're comparing a Bulls team that won 30 and 40 games respectively, against a Celtics team that won 67 and 59 in those two seasons. Context matters bud :oldlol: Regardless, Jordan was the best player in both series. Averaged 40/7/6 on 46% shooting vs Bird in the playoffs

:oldlol: @ mentioning that the Bulls beat the blatantly washed Pistons (who lost in the first round the following season and missed the playoffs entirely two seasons later), and then begging for some kind of team strength context behind jordon's two sweep losses against Bird.
Maybe a 24 year-old, 3rd season jordon could've avoided playing Bird if he just managed to get a higher seeding than the mighty all-star-less Indiana Pacers team, whose best player by far and leading scorer by a substantial margin was a 22 year-old rookie, 18.8 ppg averaging Chuck Person. :roll:

The Pacers had a much more well-rounded team the Bulls did in 86-87. 6 of the players on that team averaged 10 or more ppg. Yeah team strength context definitely matters you moron :oldlol: You think a 30-40 win team like the Bulls had any chance to beat the Celtics team that damn near won 70 games? Hell no not a chance. I find it more funny that you're trying to pretend that doesn't matter. Jordan dropped 63 on that team and still lost which goes to show how garbage his team was at that time especially compared to the stacked Celtics.

6 players averaged 10 ppg on the Pacers because they didn't have one ball hog who chucked up 27.8 shots per game.
The fact is that the Pacers had 0 all-stars. And the player with second most all-star votes between the Pacers and Bulls was Charles Oakley, who averaged 14.5 ppg, 13.1 rpg and 3.6 apg for the Bulls that season. Rookie Chuck Person's #2 on the Pacers was Herb Williams, who averaged 14.9 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 2.4 apg. You think that jordon's "GOATness" would be enough to make up the difference between the rest and get a higher seeding, but apparently Chuck Person was too hard of an obstacle. :roll:

For a jordon extremist alt, team strength only matters when we're discussing jordon's losses in the 80s, especially the ones against the Celtics... when jordon in fact has ZERO excuses for not avoiding playing the Celtics in the first round since an all-star-less team led by a rookie Chuck Person got a higher seed. On the other hand, when we're talking about jordon's crap competition in the 90s and his supporting cast that won 55 games in 1993-94 entirely without him, then relative team strength is the last thing jordon extremist alts want to discuss, and it's all about jordon's rings without context.

"Chucked" nearly 28 shots per game and still made nearly 50% of his shots... I'd say keep giving him the ball tbh, especially if your 2nd and 3rd best players were Charles Oakley and John Paxson. Yeah two guys who were totallyyy game-changers and could help Jordan beat the Celtics who had 5 future hall of famers on their team :oldlol: I don't care that the '87 Pacers had 0 all-stars, it still doesn't change the fact that they were a well-rounded team and more than capable enough to make the playoffs that season. You must be new to basketball if you think one guy, no matter how great he is, can carry a team over an all-time great one like the 80s Celtics without a solid supporting cast. That's like if LeBron's 07 Cavs met the 07 Spurs in the first round. Wouldn't be a pretty ending that's for sure.

Also, I'm not sure why you keep bringing up Chuck Person like he was the sole reason why the Pacers finished with a higher seed than the Bulls. He clearly had some solid guys around him, even though they weren't all-stars. Hell, that team even had a player coming off the bench who averaged 15/6. You act like it was all in Jordan's hands to avoid the Celtics in the first round. Sorry to break it to you, but that's much easier said than done. Only one game separated the Bulls and Pacers that season, and a simple search will tell you that the Bulls last 2 regular season games were against the two top teams in the East (Hawks and Celtics). Before those games, they were ahead of the Pacers in the standings but they lost both. Pacers, on the other hand, faced Philly (5th seed) and Nets (3rd worst team in the league). They won both games. Much easier competition.

For your sake, let's say Jordan had magical powers and somehow avoided the Celtics in the first round, and instead played the 2nd seed Hawks who won 57 games. I see the Bulls maybe snagging 1 or 2 wins, that's it. Point is, you're not having any playoff success if your surrounding cast is total dogshit. In the 90s, you can talk about the competition all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that Jordan absolutely dominated any team came in his way. Pretty damn impressive when you never play a game 7 in the finals, have a perfect record, and average better numbers in the playoffs compared to the regular season. You act like Jordan could just magically change the level of his competition like it's an NBA 2k game of something :oldlol::oldlol:

Also, I find it really funny that you're calling me a Jordan extremist alt. You kinda sound insecure tbh. Just fyi, I'm a fan of LeBron too if that makes you feel any better :oldlol: Another thing... learn how to spell Jordan's name right too. Maybe I'll take you a little more serious

Yeah, and the 2nd and 3rd best players on the Indiana Pacers were Herb Williams and 2nd year 22-year old Wayman Tisdale. You'd think that the "GOAT" jordon's "GOATness" would be good enough to make up the difference between Oakley, Paxson + rest of the Bulls and Herb Williams, Wayman Tisdale + rest of the Pacers, but I guess the difference between 3rd year/24 year-old jordon and 1st year/22 year-old Chuck Person wasn't that great... then along came Scottie.

jordon sure as hell didn't dominate Hakeem, who was 6-0 against the Bulls in their 1st 3-peat seasons.
And he didn't dominate the 1995 Orlando Magic, even though he was the favorite among the bookies.
And before you give me the predictable crap about how he "just" came back from baseball (even though he played 26 NBA games), explain how he lost against the Magic in 1995 averaging these numbers:

31.0 ppg on .477
6.5 rpg
3.7 apg
2.5 spg
1.8 bpg

While he won against the Sonics in the 1996 finals averaging these numbers:

27.3 ppg on .415
5.3 rpg
4.2 apg
1.7 spg
0.2 bpg

You can't explain it, aside from the only and obvious explanation: 1995 was the one season where the Bulls neither had Horace Grant nor Rodman, whom they obtained in 1995, and who went on to clean up jordon's brickage in the 1996 finals. If his team wasn't stacked, jordon had some of the emptiest stats ever, as is shown in the 1986-87 season and the 1995 playoffs.
The Chicago Bulls TEAM that jordon was a part of (55 wins without him in 1993-94, only 2 wins less than 57 wins from 1992-93) dominated their competition because they were the best team.
