what if this was Michael Jordans Legacy

[JT123]

The refs were the legendary mates in 2010. LA shot like 18 or 19 of their 37FTA in the 4th quarter alone.

LA actually attempted 24 free throws in that game 7 4th quarter. Most free throws attempted by any team, in any quarter, throughout the entire 2010 playoffs.
Yet we are supposed to be impressed by that "ring"

[kennethgriffin]

i like this hypothetical outcome better

1981- jordan comes out of highschool
1982 - jordan loses to sixers
1983 - jordan loses to celtics

1985 - jordan wins the championship averaging 29/7/6
1986 - jordan wins the championship averaging 27/6/5
1987 - jordan gets injured in playoffs
1988 - jordan makes the finals. loses to a historically great defense
1989 - jordan gets injured in rebuilding season

1991 - jordan does it again, but has 4 straight 50+ games
1992 - jordan loses in finals to an all time great team with 4 HOF'rs
1993 - jordan wins the championship averaging 30/6/5
1994 - jordan wins the championship averaging 30/7/5
1995 - jordan loses to the eventual champions
1996 - jordan loses to the eventual ECF champions
1997 - jordan loses to the eventual ECF champions
1998 - jordan rips his achilles carrying a bunch of quitters to the playoffs
1999 - jordan makes a miraculous comeback. only to break his leg

About as impressive as when OKC advanced against the Grizz last year.

****in trolls

[dubeta]

Kobe only has 2 FMVP to his 5 rings, will Tony Parker finally catch Kobe all-time with another ring and FMVP this season? Only time will tell

[Mr. Jabbar]

thats top 25-30 all time resume. too much collusion, too much choking. and with jordan out of the top 10, its kobe time!

I don't need to. There's already a shit ton of them on youtube. At the end of the day all anybody will remember is that in the biggest game of Kobe's career he shit the bed, and put on the worst game 7 shooting performance by an "all time great" in NBA history. Didn't matter though, cause teammates and refs carried him to victory. Kobe's career in a nut shell.

kareem has 2 fmvps to his 6 rings

he's arguably the GOAT

russell has 0 fmvps to his 11 rings

he's arguably the GOAT

lebron has 2 wins to his 5 finals

he's arguably the BOAT

good game... any way you look at it


series stats = 29ppg, 8rpg, 4apg ( 1.26 points per shot/ averaged 29 on 23 shots for the series )

jordans career average is only 0.05 higher

[Im so nba'd out]

1991- jordan misses the playoffs
1992- jordan misses the playoffs
1993- jordan loses to indiana
1994- jordan loses to houston in finals ( swept )
1995- jordan loses to magic
1996- jordan loses to miami
1997- jordan loses to knicks ( leaves bulls for jazz to join stockton/malone )
1998- jordan loses in the finals to indiana ( quits cause malone is run away mvp )
1999 - jordan finally wins his first title in lockout season vs the knicks
2000 - pacers are one rebound from the title. FA addition reggie miller hits a three to save the finals and jazz win in game 7
2001 - iverson stomps a mudhole in jordan.. he quits the finals due to temperature...
2002 - jordan leaves stockton/malone/reggie and runs back to chicago. Becomes 2nd fiddle to some 23 year old. Then retires not too long later a bald washed up hasbeen

i would no longer be loyal to jordan and for some strange reason i would give him the nickname of lebald

[dubeta]

The point is that the Lakers would still win 5 rings from 1996-2010 without Kobe


Kinda like how the Bulls wouldve won in 94 without Jordan if the refs didnt screw up in the Knicks series

empty- low efficiency stats = NOT top 10
