[QUOTE=Bawkish;14462075]MJ's weakness is not the Pistons. He had no problems whooping their a$$ on a regular basis. They just slowed him down due to aggressive and rough play style bordering on flagrancy. Had they matched up in today's rules, he'd be sweeping their a$$ 3 times in a row[/QUOTE]
Is that why the gambling addicted dad killer take only 8 shots in a must win game 5? Outscored by 8 in the 4th, when 1-9 scored only 4 points, IIRC.

I'm just saying...
Non-dominant players like pippen/kukoc need a player to completely carry them - another player of their caliber like derozan would be overkill and unproductive and probably peak at a Raptors level.. Derozan also holds the ball a point guard amount (5+ minutes), so he would destroy fellow ball-handler like Pippen - they wouldn't fit together just like any 2 ballhandlers don't fit together.. bball 101

Non-dominant players like Jordan need a player to completely carry them in rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. MJ just shot the ball 30 times a game and people are surprised he had the majority of the points? :oldlol: bball 101

Jordan led the Pippen in total assists, blocks and steals from 88-98', while carrying the scoreboard (scoring), which is the only kind of carry-job there is - only stars can achieve elite scoring, while role players can achieve elite levels in secondary categories like rebounds, assists, steals, or blocks, which Jordan led Pippen in anyway.

What's more is this notion that he has to do. No, MJ WANTED to leas the league in scoring while winning a championship. He said it in one of those documentaries he did.
Look at the 92 DreamTeam. Jordan tool almost as many shots as the next two players combined. And he wasn't that efficient either.

Yeah, we all know that the defending Champs, led by Brick got eviscerated in a humiliating sweep in the 2nd round in 2011. :cheers:

A non-dominant player that led his team to 55 wins in 1994 and even almost toppled an eventual conference champion in 7 games. He did so while his first option was absent for the whole season. Also the very same player who averaged more ppg in his finals debut than kobe did in the 2000 finals.
Yikes. Eerily similar players

Ty Lawson did that in 2013.. Marc Gasol did that in 2015... Tons of non-dominant guys have done that, but only Pippen was pursuing a 4-peat
In the playoffs, Pippen played at the same level as 2016 Wade, who nearly made the ECF with the exact same stats as Pippen (21/5/5 and 21 PER)

While mj couldn't without him and kobe couldn't without useful big men. :confusedshrug:
Derozan is like the Ben Gordon of the Bulls unless you can show me he has 5 league mvp's, 6 finals mvp's, led in scoring 10 times, turned the franchise that drafted him into a dynasty and won 2 gold medals in the olympics while never winning bronze.
Derozan in 1994?; chicago gets swept by houston if they manage to get there
somehow, I think DeRozan is what OJ Mayo was hyped up to be.
