FACT: MJ never lost a series where his team had the HCA.
1984-85 - Bulls 38-44 - Lost to Milwaukee (59-23)
1985-86 - Bulls 30-52 - Lost to Celtics (67-15) - [B]Champs[/B]
1986-87 - Bulls 40-42 - Lost to Celtics (59-23) - Lost Finals
1987-88 - Bulls 50-32 - Lost to Pistons (54-28) - Lost Finals
1988-89 - Bulls 47-35 - Lost to Pistons (63-19) - [B]Champs[/B]
1989-90 - Bulls 55-27 - Lost to Pistons (59-23) - [B]Champs[/B]
MJs numbers from this period (first 6 seasons):
Reg season: [B]32.8 PPG, 29.9 PER, 6.3 rpg, 6.0 apg, 2.8 spg[/B]
Playoffs: [B]35.8 PPG, 29.7 PER, 6.9 rpg, 6.7 apg, 2.5 spg[/B]
We all know what he did starting the 1990-91 season. But this gives you a perspective on what type of help MJ had and what type of teams he had to go up against. All-time great, legendary teams. He really had no chance. It wasn't until Pippen and Grant matured along with PJ coming on board as coach when MJ had enough firepower to start beating elite teams. But look at his individual numbers during this time, just dominant from the get go. This is what the GOAT does.
Drop the mic.

Thanks, this has been well talked about.
Re: FACT: MJ never lost a series where his team had the HCA.
And MJ might've won his first title a year sooner in 1990 if Pippen didn't have the worst game EVER for a 2nd fiddle star in a game 7.
2 point (1/10 from the field).
The infamous migraine game where he pretty much admitted the pressure got to him.

Like you really know this for a fact.. Gasol's 2nd fiddle in the 2010 finals game 7 was probably worse given the volume of the [I]suckery[/I]

:facepalm I'm a Laker fan. I saw that game like 10 times. Gasol was the MVP of game 7 along with Artest.
Re: FACT: MJ never lost a series where his team had the HCA.
another fact: jordan never went up against the super teams of the '80s e.g. the celtics, lakers and sixers.
when playing teams on the level you're on, or better, homecourt just doesn't really matter.
the bulls were simply better than everyone they played from 91 & on.

:facepalm Do you not even take the time to read my OP?
Re: FACT: MJ never lost a series where his team had the HCA.
This is what's fun about being a fan of the GOAT, you have truth on your side. It's like having God on your side, you just can't lose. The deeper you dig, the clearer the truth is revealed. This is just stuff I do when I have time at work. I dig up MJ stuff and see what I can come up with. And viola, another truth revealed about MJ.
In due time, when you youngsters (not meant to be derogatory in any way) have watched and played the game for a few decades and had the chance to watch dynastic teams rise and fall and legends come and go, you too will see the truth.
MJ very well might be the GOAT for eternity and I'm not saying this as a homer. I saw with my own eyes what he did on the court. His impact might never be duplicated.

of course, which is why i mentioned the sixers & lakers (with KAJ). you didn't have them in your OP. :confusedshrug:
your little factoid is silly, because jordan's bulls never played a super team when they had homecourt.
unlike bird and his celtics
unlike magic and his lakers
unlike doctor j and his sixers
do your homework kiddo

That's why I said Gasol's 2nd fiddle not Gasol.. we agree.

1989 Bulls and Pistons. Series tied at 2 apiece and game 5 was most likely the biggest playoff game in MJ's career up to that point.

Not a great analogy.
I like the post though

The Sixers were past it by MJ's time so why even bring them up? MJ lost to two legendary teams for five straight years and he beat Magic's Lakers in 1991.
Keep coming with the lame excuses. It's entertaining.
Re: FACT: MJ never lost a series where his team had the HCA.
Meh, I'm a Jordan fan but this "fact" has always sounded contrived and without context.
Maybe that's just me though :confusedshrug:
Re: FACT: MJ never lost a series where his team had the HCA.
As he should. He had the superior team.
