    Default Luka's 1st two playoffs...5-8. → → MJ's 1st three playoffs...1-9

    My goodness Luka 5x Jordan already. LeLuka ball

    Luka just needs his Pippen. Give him his Paul George and he wins the series.

    Swap Paul George for Porzingis and Kawhi gets swept (like MJ).

    Everyone loses in the 1st Round with low seeds - Luka, MJ, or Lebron.

    However, MJ/Luka were at a tremendous disadvantage because Lebron got 3 years to develop his team into a favored, high seed before entering the playoffs, while MJ/Luka were thrown into the playoffs in Year 1 as low seeds... It's simply preposterous to compare 3rd year high seeds (Lebron), to 1st year low seeds (MJ/Luka).

    Naturally, when Jordan had 3 healthy years to develop his team (88'), he won 50 games and made the 2nd Round just like 06' Lebron.. So I guess next year is the deadline for Luka to elevate past the 1st Round and I expect he will in a big way...

    btw, it's funny how Jordan/Lebron matched each other in healthy Year 3 (88' vs. 06'), and then Jordan outplayed lebron vs the champs in Year 4.. But after that, Jordan keeps elevating to goat level (2 three-peats), while Lebron levels off and needs super-teams to continue elevating.. He needed ready-made talent because team strategy, brand and young players are stalled by having spot-up roles imposed on everyone.

    98' Robinson..... 21/10
    88' Pippen............. 8/5


    rookie Pippen was an 8 ppg bench-warmer that MJ carried to the 2nd Round or ECF, while Duncan had a HOF teammate

    (or Lebron needed a 2-time all-star center to make the 06' Playoffs, along with a 22/5/5 acquisition and the future COY).

    So Duncan always had high seeds, while Jordan had 8 seeds

    (Or Lebron always had high seeds and decorated teammates in a conference that 1-star teams were winning, while Jordan carried low seeds and undecorated role players in a conference that required a super-team to win it).

    For the series:

    Luka: 36/8/10 on 49%
    Kawhi: 32/8/5 on 61%

    Luka had 62 more attempts and could barely outscore Kawinner.
    Loseka also had 15 more turnovers.
