MJ's Finals opponents had the best winning percentage of any top 10 player

[3ball]

The only human to beat four 60-win, Finals teams.. plus a 59-win and 57-win team

5 teams that MJ beat were in their uber-prime, peak.. he didn't need a chunk of his rings to come in down years like say, Duncan or 12' lebron, or against weak teams like Shaq and Curry won their rings

Also, dynasties will always play weaker teams in the Finals because they're the dynasty.. ... one can complain about facing dynasties or being the underdog in the Finals, because that only exposes them for never BEING the dynasty or favorite

6 team expansion era = inflated win totals throughout the league.

How many 70 win teams did he beat? Why is Jordan's best opponent in the finals worse than LeBron's worst opponent?

The same 30-team league we have today, so it's the same..

They weren't picking up garbage men and mechanics - expansion teams consisted of a draft of current NBA players (each team had to make 2 players on their roster available for the draft)

Magic win totals of teams he faced: 65, 63, 63, 62, 61, 59, 58, 58, 54. Oh yea the 54 win team was a version of the Bad Boy Pistons who you can argue over some 90s teams with more wins imo

I prefer to stan someone that beat four 60-win Finals teams over a one-off and mostly losing (lottery win % in the Finals)

And the Spurs weren't good.. simply feasting on teams/winning in down years - they literally snuck in for most of the down years over a 14-year period.. never winning b2b...

If one is too young to have seen an era, the best way to know the strength of the team is to see what was being said about those team at the time they were playing. And nobody was saying that the teams Jordan played were weak, or not good. They were saying the opposite. But then you have insecure, teenage fanboys who are emotionally hurt wanting to change the narrative.

Zero 65 wins opponent, weak ass era. Only time he faced a such team he got swept.

By that rationale, then the Blazers, Suns, Sonics & Jazz all sucked, those 4 teams combined for ONE Finals appearance outside of the years they faced Jordan, yet you're clowning on a team that won 5 titles

Lost to Toronto by 1 point. It was their 68th game of the season.

Rodman didn't play that game. I'm sure the leagues rebounding champion would have made a difference against Oliver Miller's fat ass

And none of those players were top 8 in the rotation.

[Rico2016]

Bro...He had two good wins

93 Suns
97 Jazz

Let it go. He won against weaklings, who doesn't know this?
