[QUOTE=3ba11;14507397]At this same point in the season, 2002 Jordan was [I]winning[/I] with the Wizards (4 seed) and 1 of 3 players getting 25/5/5 (Kobe/Tmac/MJ), while also having numerous 40/50 point games and game-winners over Lebron's bully (Marion).
Otoh, Lebron is a year younger but basically lottery or 1st Round in the West without AD, with the most empty-stat style of all-time (6'9" westbricking)[/QUOTE]
You can cherry pick specific time frames, it doesn't help the FULL reality that Wizards MJ was an embarrassment for the GOAT. He should've kept his last shot as the game winner in his last finals.

Interesting.
Maybe if he had prime Anthony Davis and Westbrook it would have helped MJ
Current Anthony Edwards is a much better player than Wizards Jordan.

Current Carlos Arroyo is better than Lebron remember he beat him in the Olympics.
[QUOTE=Dengness9;14507437][B]Michael Jordan dragged the Bulls [/B]and Scottie through the entire 98 season. Rodman was more important than Pip at that point. Scotties body was failing him big time. Scottie winning finals mvp over MJ who stripped Malone then hit the finals winner? Laughable but keep trying bud![/QUOTE]
LOL good one
Jordan's team was tailor made for him, it failed in Washington and in the 80's because you need specific players for Jordan's game to work. Everyone always says Scottie and Rodman but it was Kukoc, Harper, and Kerr who were all selfless players that allowed for Jordan to be successful.
