The MINUTE Jordan got just one all-star caliber player (Pippen), he went 6/6.. The MINUTE.. No one else has done more with less:

i.e. Lebron had prime Wade plus Bosh and lost - prime Wade alone is > Pippen... And Kobe had prime Shaq and lost... It's pretty obvious that MJ's game had superior capacity to adjust, and superior capacity PERIOD, so that he could handle all comers with just one all-star teammate (one that is less than Shaq or prime Wade).

Like your posts and threads but you're wrong here. It took like 3 years until Pippen was able to contribute. They still kept losing to the Pistons from 1988 - 1990.
