did mike always have maximum defense attention becos he cant pass?
other stars like bran and magic use a ball dominator style becos they know how to pass and will punish a double team quickly. they have a better style that is more successful for team results and team play.
but if you are like mike and cant pass...why not double team him? he cant pass anyway so its maximum defense attentoin
was this was caused other chicago bull players to fall in the corners of the court waiting for a shot since mike didnt know how to pass? woudl ball dominator give him more then six finals in 20 years?

Yea but Jordan's playmaking that year was a bit overrated. He averaged a good amount of assists as a PG where he drew comparisons to Magic Johnson, mainly because his passing was elite. But his playmaking didn't contribute to the offense like some would believe.
Chicago's ORTG ranking in the first 57 games with MJ as SG was [B]12th[/B] in the league.
Chicago's ORTG ranking in the last 25 games with MJ as PG was [B]18th[/B] in the league.
Chicago averaged [B]106 PPG[/B] the first 57 games, [B]100 PPG[/B] the final 25 games. They shot the ball at a [B]50%[/B] clip in the first 89 games, but just [B]47%[/B] in the final 25 games.
I was too young to watch MJ then but I think most people would tell you that MJ circa 1991-93 was a much better playmaker than he was in even 1989 when he went on that streak of triple-doubles, largely due to stat-padding.

Another low-IQ post from a dumb poster.
Bronie doesn't get double teamed because he sucks in the post and lacks a mid-range game. All he can do is stiff arm his way to the hoop (and in recent years, shoot threes). Granted, he's very good at driving to the basket, but that's not something worth double-teaming.
Jordan always got doubled because he was as close to unstoppable in the man-on-man game as you could get. He'd kill you finishing at the hoop, in the post, or anywhere else.

Re: did mike always have maximum defense attention becos he cant pass?
MJ averaged more assists than Lebron for the first 9 years of their playoff careers (85-93' vs 06-14') before the Warriors' pace and space era made offense easy and increased everyone's stats.
Furthermore, Jordan averaged more assists with low turnovers and without dominating the ball, so he had the teammate fits, development and chemistry needed to win organically
Btw OP.... the reason that Jordan could defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals) is because he had the necessary elite jumpshooting skill - this defeats maximum defensive attention...
But more importantly, ball-dominators like Luka/Lebron can't carry the scoring load with sufficient brand to beat Finals teams, so they need all-time scorers and elite 1st options at sidekick to nearly match their scoring in the Finals.. Otoh, off-ball experts like Curry/MJ can carry the scoring load with sufficient brand to beat Finals teams, so they can win with secondary scorers at sidekick like Wiggins or Pippen that require carrying the scoring load, aka defeat maximum defensive attention.

Averaging more assists doesn't necessarily make you better. While MJ's passing is underrated (as showcased with the OP), he was more of a shot creator than an actual playmaker. His ability to pass was there, yes, but he wasn't on the level of a Magic, Bird, or even LeBron.
I think part of that comes from his mentality. LeBron is a pass first kind of player, so he draws up plays with that specific intent. MJ is score first, and likewise, his mentality followed suit.
You're consistently conflating shot creation, passing, and playmaking. LeBron excels more in playmaking and passing, where as MJ was more of a shot creator who was an excellent passer but [I]not[/I] an excellent playmaker.

You just haven't watched Jordan much or don't observe well.. A beginner eye for the game would explain why Lebron's beginner skills (high screen roll ball-dominance) is all you can notice.
You think Jordan only passed when doubled and wasn't good at setting guys up or breaking down a defense - so you just haven't noticed or purposefully ignored.. Simple as that.
Double-teams aren't nearly enough to get Jordan ahead of Lebron in assists for 9 years.. That's weak and desperate reasoning on your part... The reality is that Jordan averaged more assists than Lebron for 9 years while winning more because he could do whatever he wanted with the ball - he was Michael Jordan.. No one in history broke down defenses easier, more efficiently/quicker, or more OFTEN than Jordan.. His goat maneuverability among defenders and shot-making elevated a goat passing ability that you apparently missed.. .. He made every type of pass or passing play that Lebron made and more.. He could dominate the ball with the best of em', but he's also the only guy in history that averaged 10+ assists in a series without starting at point guard or bringing the ball up (91' Finals).
And the proof is shown in the historical record - the Associated Press called Jordan the best PG in the league after 10 games at point guard in 1989 - his averages during the 24-game stint at point guard were 30/9/11, which included a stretch of 9 triple-doubles in 10 games.. This was 30 years before the "30/10/10" era where Luka and Westbrook make these numbers standard practice..

[QUOTE]You think Jordan only passed when doubled and wasn't good at setting guys up or breaking down a defense - so you just haven't noticed or purposefully ignored.. Simple as that.[/QUOTE]
I never said he only passed when doubled.
[QUOTE]Double-teams aren't nearly enough to get Jordan ahead of Lebron in assists for 9 years.. That's weak and desperate reasoning on your part... The reality is that Jordan averaged more assists than Lebron for 9 years while winning more because he could do whatever he wanted with the ball - he was Michael Jordan.. No one in history broke down defenses easier, more efficiently/quicker, or more OFTEN than Jordan.. His goat maneuverability among defenders and shot-making elevated a goat passing ability that you apparently missed.. .. He made every type of pass or passing play that Lebron made and more.. He could dominate the ball with the best of em', but he's also the only guy in history that averaged 10+ assists in a series without starting at point guard or bringing the ball up (91' Finals).[/QUOTE]
You basically said what I said...."and shot making elevated a goat passing ability"....i.e., shot creation and passing. You're just being a stubborn Jordan stan who thinks I'm criticizing your idol. I'm not.
[QUOTE]And the proof is shown in the historical record - the Associated Press called Jordan the best PG in the league after 10 games at point guard in 1989 - his averages during the 24-game stint at point guard were 30/9/11, which included a stretch of 9 triple-doubles in 10 games.. This was 30 years before the "30/10/10" era where Luka and Westbrook make these numbers standard practice..[/QUOTE]
Good, and what was Chicago's production as a result?
CHI in '89 w/MJ as SG: 109.4 ORTG (12th in the league), 106.1 PPG, 50.2% FG%
CHI in '89 w/MJ as PG: 107.9 ORTG (18th in the league), 100.1 PPG, 46.5% FG%
This is the key. It doesn't matter if MJ was a great passer because playmaking is what matters in this discussion. The fact remains is that in those games, Chicago performed worse with MJ at PG.

MJ made every kind of pass and play, including many passes and plays that Lebron can't make due to superior maneuverability amongst defenders... Literally goatt maneuverability and completely unmatched by anyone.
And the 89' Bulls won more than the 08' Cavs and was arguably the greatest carry-job in history and the most upsets in the playoffs.. The difference between the 85-90' Bulls casts and Lebron's 04-10' casts is enormous..
Heck, do you want to know why the 09' Cavs won more games then the 90' Bulls?.. It's because they had the #3 defense compared to #19 for the 90' Bulls, while Mo was superior to Pippen offensively across the board (PER, BPM, VORP, WS/48, scoring, efficiency).
So how do you explain Lebron having a better team on both sides of the ball, yet Jordan still beat him to titles?... Jordan won the next year in 91', while Lebron lost as the massive favorite for 2 more years

[QUOTE=And1AllDay;14632785]other stars like bran and magic use a ball dominator style becos they know how to pass and will punish a double team quickly. they have a better style that is more successful for team results and team play.
but if you are like mike and cant pass...why not double team him? he cant pass anyway so its maximum defense attentoin
was this was caused other chicago bull players to fall in the corners of the court waiting for a shot since mike didnt know how to pass? woudl ball dominator give him more then six finals in 20 years?[/QUOTE]
Damn 20 years? I agree , he should have passed the ball more in 94, 99, 00 and specially in 01
And heres a fun fact, jordan ball made him more acomplished than both magic and bran
Next!
