    Default Hey 3ball, can you explain this number?

    190-194

    Jordan's career record without Pippen playing

    How can you call yourself the GOAT when your impact isn't enough to get a winning record without a TOP 5 SF of all time playing with you?

    The 80's East wouldn't allow Jordan to make the Finals with Lebron's 2007 playoff stats.

    Lebron averaged 25 ppg on 41% in ECSF, and 26 ppg on 45% in ECF - those would be among the worst series of Jordan's career and wouldn't get him out of the first round, let alone make the Finals.

    Lebron's weak conference is also why his Finals appearances were achieved by beating HALF the 50-win teams that MJ & Kobe beat.. Team-hopping within a weak conference simply isn't fair..

    We're not asking Jordan to make the Finals, thats too great an accomplishment to ask for someone of Jordan's stature






    We're just asking why he couldnt have an above .500 record without Pippen






    So 3ball, answer this specifically, why was Jordan below .500 without Pippen?

    this question is indeed a total mystery!

    the only conclusion I can make is that Jordan was a below-average impact player!

    Jordan needed Pippen

    LeBron needed Wade

    Wade > Pippen

    Jordan > LeBron

    LeBron has a winning record without Wade.

    In fact LeBron won a ring without Wade.

    LeBron didn't need Wade.

    Meanwhile Jordan has a losing record without Pippen.

    And he never won a ring without Pippen.

    Jordan needed Pippen. Without him he was a below average impact player.

    Jordan played in the toughest conference of all time, while Lebron plays in the weakest of all time.. This is common knowledge.. How else can you explain Lebron achieving his Finals appearances by beating HALF the 50-win teams as Jordan?.. It's a travesty

    Also, Jordan had a weaker supporting cast - if you disagree, how do you explain his first 3 rings requiring 30% more scoring and more assists than Lebron's 3 rings?.. There's no way that a STRONGER supporting cast would require that much more production - that makes no sense..

    But we are talking about the GOAT status here, buddy.

    Surely asking the GOAT, the greatest of all time, the true master of his craft, a man above his peers and heirs, to have such a simple thing as a winning record in mostly regular season without a TOP 25 all time player on the team isn't that demanding?

    A high impact player could get that record even in a tough conference.

    3ball reminds me of this robot






    The second you give him a response that isnt pre-canned or scripted, he can't understand it and melts down



    He only has so many copy-paste responses

    I mean it's not like I am asking MJ to be the first player ever to lead all players on both teams in all five major statistical categories over a course of a playoff series.

    Heck, I am not even asking him to come back from being down 3-1 against the greatest team of all time.

    I am just asking for a winning record.

    Am I so wrong to think that the GOAT, presumably the highest impact player of all time, should be able to achieve a simple, trivial winning record without another TOP 25 impact player of all time on the team?

    Am I going mad? Someone assure me that my question isn't so out of hand!

    3ball= Joell Ortiz

    DraynKlay n scuzzy= Young Thug

    One gets less views but is clearly better/smarter, the other gets more views but worse/dumber and mediocrity/retardation gets watching train crash views.
