Jordan is like Kobe in that he wins because his teams are way more stacked. No other 90s team had two MVP caliber players (Jordan,Pippen,), the greatest coach of all-time(Phil Jackson 11 rings in 20 seasons), and Rodman(the greatest rebounder/defensive player ever) or Horace Grant (pereniel all D interior bigman).
Just like Kobe won only with the top frontcourt in the NBA(Kobe is a backcourt player so dont act like hes the reason that is), along with Phil Jackson.
So not one person had the 50-32 Michael Jordan Bulls beating the 42-40 Cavaliers? Save your breath Jordan stan.

Do you think it makes Jordan worse? Are you sure? He never beat as underdog because he never played a final as underdog. Because, his existence disallowed to be underdog. He is GOAT, how can a goat be underdog in Finals?

Oh, so he's like Curry then since he's never been an underdog
Curry = Jordan
Got it...
Or do you finally get what we're saying?

Are you saying the objective is to be the underdog and achieving underdog status deserves more props than achieving favored status?
So losing more and being the underdog is better than winning and being the favorite?
Either way, lebron was never a 6 seed, so he was never an underdog like MJ heading into the 89' playoffs, where MJ almost made the Finals (he had 2 upset series wins in 89', while lebron never had more than 1 upset win in any run)

I think the very small and simple point you cannot seem to grasp is that Curry and Jordan were always on the stacked team. Can we penalize for them that? No.
But it is a matter of fact that they always were on the Stacked team. They were supposed to win.

You could also argue:
'91 vs Lakers
'93 vs Suns
'98 vs Jazz
Plus he's something like 24 for 24 as the favorite. GOAT. Very impressive.
Not many all time greats can say that. For example Lebron lost to Dwight Howard despite being MVP of the league, and on a 66 win team. And the following year lost to a 50 wins Celtic teams.
So that 24 for 24, or whatever it is, is pretty impressive.
What happened to TonyMontana? Did he leave because he got embarrassed in this thread?
