Pundits said "more help needed" when KAT, Mo, & Murray "wet bed" with 18 on 40%....

but true goats must LEARN TO WIN WITH THAT.

the goat won with his sidekick averaging 17.6 on 41% for the entire 96-98' Playoffs and 15.7 on 40% in 2 Finals, or 0% on threes and 59% FT's in the 93' Finals (46.9 TS), along with the 93' Playoffs showing the worst combination of PER/BPM/WS/VORP of any winning sidekick ever.. Pippen also had the worst shooting splits in 3-pointer history for a playoff run of 15 games and 35 MPG, and he did this twice on TITLE runs, for goodness sake (96', 98')

Accordingly, the GOAT standard is to routinely beat top teams with weak help, such as beating top 5 SRS teams with weak scoring & efficiency a sidekick and also defeating max defensive attention (carrying scoring load on championship/Finals level).. Guys like Luka must learn to win with this kind of bed-wetting from Brunson or Kyrie... tldr: the "pippen" isn't the savior - he's the guy whose bed-wetting is GETTING saved/carried.

MJ never won a single playoff series.

MJ never won a single playoff series.


The following was required in 1992 to sweep a 1st Round opponent and show no weakness as defending champs:

The proper perspective that young fans should have about MJ is to look at the 1998 Finals, which is a good example because many young fans have some knowledge and/or remember this series.

the point is that EVERY series was like the 98' Finals, as far as the goat stats, 2nd half and 4th quarter domination, heroics and statistical gap between MJ and his cast.

This includes the sweeps (shown above or here (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U_Ca7_HClNg) for example), let alone the 6 or 7-game series, which show similar heroics and massive gaps in stats between MJ and his cast.. Only the GOAT carried this load on offense, so MJ's goat defense further separates him (1st team defense every year including a runner-up DPOY, DPOY, and no worse than 7th from 88' to 98' plus scoring champ, aka goat peak and goat longevity of peak).

MJ lost that series after being up 3-0. In game 7, he shot 2-39 with 23 turnovers :eek:

GOAT choke

Yeah, that's what MJ did in game 7. Prevented him from ever entering the top 50 tbh.

hello darkness my old friend.

Also kat mo and murray are negative defenders. Pippen is an elite defender

agreed, MJ was a perennial loser who never won anything.
