Pretty sure that's not true.

for a final's mvp it's pretty true, there's only 3-4 other finals MVP in history that has posted a PER higher than that

Jordan played awful in those '98 Finals. Maybe he was picking up Pippen's slack.

Too historic of run, he leads the Lakers to the best playoff record ever at 15-1, becomes the first player in NBA history with back to back 40/20 playoff games, has the second 30/15 championship run ever(the other was his '00 championship run), has just the 3rd 30/15 run in at least 15 games(along with Kareem in '74 and his own '00 run) and ties the finals record at the time for blocks in a game.

Ends up with three 40/20 games, a near quadruple double and five 20/20 games. Also has 2 of the all-time great series averaging 33/17/3 on 60% vs Sacramento and 33/16/5/3 on 57% vs Philly and the DPOY Mutombo.

Faces two top 5 defensive teams in the Spurs and Philly and the top 3 defensive big men(or defensive players overall) in Mutombo, Robinson and Duncan. And he destroys quality 7 foot centers in every round.

The only other run I think has a case over that one that hasn't been chosen is Hakeem's '94.
