Re: 1993 Suns vs. 2015 Warriors
There's a reason Jordan averaged 44 or whatever against the Suns. Watch the 55 pt game, it's mostly Jordan dribbling past guys like they're traffic cones.

MJ never had any all-stars while going 1-9 against Bird's 86' and 87' Celtics.. But the moment he got just 1, he went 6/6... Whereas, Lebron missed the playoffs despite having an all-star, and only went 2/4 in Miami with TWO all-stars.

Z was a 17 and 15 ppg #2 option those years; Jordan had a 23 ppg and 21 ppg SF as his #2 option and a 16 ppg #3 option in 85' and 86'. How much more did the "GOAT" need from his #2 and #3 options?

Z was one of the best players in the league (top 24, since he was an all-star), while Woolridge was nowhere near - maybe that's a testament to the superiority of the 80's.. Who knows... But the point remains that Lebron played with one of the best players in the league, while MJ did not.
Lebron also had All-NBA first team defender Larry Hughes, who had been the NBA steals leader..
Bottom line is that Lebron had one of the best players in the league (All-Star Zydrunas) when he missed the playoffs and won his first playoff game, wheras MJ didn't when he was going 1-9 vs. the Celtics..

Re: 1993 Suns vs. 2015 Warriors
The '93 Suns were an outstanding team, with several stars. They went 62-20, scored 113.7 ppg, allowed 106.7 ppg, with a +7.0 ppg diffrential. They shot an eFG% of .521, and a TS% of .566. They allowed an FG% of .496. They were first in scoring, first in eFG%, 18th in ppg allowed, and 17th in FG% allowed.
The '15 Warriors obviously went 67-15, scored 110.0 ppg, allowed 99.9 ppg, or a +10.1 ppg differential. Thy shot an FG% of .540, and a TS% of .571. They allowed an eFG% of .470. They were first in scoring (by a wide margin), first in eFG%, 15th in ppg allowed, and first in eFG% allowed.
So, from the above, the '15 Warriors were, at the very least, the equal of the '93 Suns on the offensive end, BUT, were a FAR better defensive team. And overall, they were simply a more dominant team.
In fact, I would go out on a limb, and suggest that the '15 Warriors were a better team than the '93 Bulls.
Of course, the bottom line...Lebron is facing a MUCH stronger defense in the '15 Warriors, than what MJ faced against the '93 Suns.

Re: 1993 Suns vs. 2015 Warriors
do you wonder if 3ball feels proud of himself when he spends time downloading recordings of the final games off some russian upload website, chopping them into GIFs for hours, and then using them in some jordan>lebron post most people will skim over or laugh at

Defensively-wise they are without a doubt...

Re: 1993 Suns vs. 2015 Warriors
I'm a known Lebron hater but didn't 3ball said before the finals started that Lebron couldn't avg 40 like MJ did in 93 so he wouldn't win this year?

Re: 1993 Suns vs. 2015 Warriors
Based on performance against the league (and that doesn't even take into account the fact they played in a much tougher Western Conference), the '15 Warriors have a solid case as one of the greatest regular season teams of all-time. Whether that plays out in the Finals is still unknown, but anyone suggesting that the '93 Suns were as good is simply being biased, and not objective.
