Rings with 1b's (equal-scoring partner) < rings with 2nd options

[3ball]

And Jordan has 4 more rings with 2nd options than anyone else in history

everyone in history needed an equal-scoring partner (1b) for half of their rings except the goat, who won 6 rings with a true 2nd option that averaged far less.

Teammate scoring matters because equal-scoring teammates attract equal defensive attention, so only MJ faced "1-man team" defensive attention for his entire career, (thus giving maximum integrity to his stats and rings).. Kenny Smith talks about MJ being the only 1-man show here.

Furthermore, every "sidekick" in 3-pointer history with 2 rings was #1 option on a champion, except Pippen and Gasol

Kareem (80', 85')
McHale (86')
Worthy (87', 88')
T Parker (07')
Dumars (89')
Kobe (02')
Curry (15')
Wade (06', 11')

So Pippen played worse than other 2nd options but he also played on the only 2-star dynasty - so he got dynasty credit without having to share shine with 3rd and 4th stars, which greatly inflated his accolades..

ultimately, he's the only guy whose statistical rank (about 120th) is far lower than his perceived rank - the winning spotlight and 2-star dynasty greatly inflated his trash stats/performance.

As long as you don’t post any Zach Randolph stories everything should be good.

That's funny because the goat did that exact shot on a real rim against real comp:

I dunked on Zach Randolph 4 times in a row in 1-on-1 when he was a sophomore all-american

And he wasn't the only McDonald's All-american that I dunked on (Evan Burns at San Diego State gym.. double pump on the break)

Keep the facts comin'

Do you think that your skepticism or disbelief makes the memory go away for me?

Considering I already caught you lying about your “college basketball career”, I have no reason to believe you’re telling the truth about this.

I'll be putting a video out in March with my handles and dunking at 44 years old
