No one said that for Jordan either when the Bulls drafted Pippen, aka the Bulls were considered massive underdogs to the Pistons and among the worst casts in the league until the year they won in 91'.. The winning spotlight eventually convinced people that they had a good cast during the 2nd three-peat, but it took many rings to do that - here's Magic and Isiah saying the Bulls were a 1-man team during the 93' Finals:

History shows that MJ lost to dynasties with horrible casts, while Lebron lost to a 1-star team twice as a massive favorite with homecourt advantage (2009, 2011)..

That's a clear-cut gap.

Lebron lost as the favorite or with poor performance every year from 2007-2011, while MJ never did either (never lost as favorite or with poor performance).

So did you get banned wherever it was you claimed you would leave here for or what? Maybe I can pull some strings and get you let back in.

The Utah Jazz once struggled to score 50pts in a finals game. With inflation 8 pts is like 24 pts today.

The 15' Warriors barely beat the injured Cavs', while the 98' Jazz swept Shaq's 4 all-stars and Duncan/Pop

So MJ would have easier carry-job against the 1st-timer Warriors than the 10-year organic juggernauts from the 90's West.. Parity (evenly-spread talent) is tougher path than being 1 of 2 stacked teams in top-heavy league
