    Default Did Jordan ever face a team in the Finals as good as the '06-07 Spurs?

    On the fringe of Game 2, I want everyone's opinion on this question.

    Should be a good thread.

    YES HE DID! HE FACED 5 STRONG TEAMS EXLUDING THE LAKERS!!!



    And he did that with a good supporting cast, a better supporting cast than those awful Cavs.

    As far as Finals teams, the 1997 and 1998 Jazz were better.

    Non-Finals teams, the 1988-1990 Pistons, the 1992 and 1993 Knicks, the 1996 Sonics, the 1997 Heat and 1998 Pacers.

    All those teams better than this year's Spur team and a Barkley led Suns squad?

    I think you're reaching....severely.

    I wouldn't say Pacers or Heat, but those Knicks teams were legit. Imagine all the flopping the Spurs could do against those teams. Oakley would have murdered Ginobili.

    I didn't name all the teams. I'll give some more:


    The 1993 Suns, the 1995-1996 Magic. Any others?

    Is this a joke? Jordan played against the Lakers, Blazers, Suns, Sonics and Jazz. I think almost all of those teams would beat this Spurs team easily.

    The '93 Suns, '92/'93 Knicks, '96 Sonics, '97/'98 Jazz, and '98 Pacers were all comparable to the Spurs. Hard to say who's "better" because the Spurs are playing against different comp. team-wise. I don't think there are as many solid teams in the league as there used to be -- teams that played team ball, played good defense, and were tough mentally (biggest point imo).

    I'd even put the Blazers up there, but they weren't all together mentally (similar to how we saw Detroit -- a clearly superior team -- fall apart from a lack of leadership this year). And of course the '89/'90 Pistons were better, but Chicago didn't beat them.

    Where is the shock? Loki agrees with it and I'm sure others would as well.

    What exactly have the Spurs proven in these playoffs? That they can beat the Nuggets, Jazz and Cavs...all of whom were never contenders in the first place? Notice I didn't include the Suns, needing suspensions to beat a team doesn't prove anything. I am sorry, but I am not impressed by this Spurs team when they have yet to beat a single "great" team fairly.

    I think there were a few teams that the Bulls faced in the Playoffs over Jordan's career that were better than this Spurs team, but the Spurs would give some of those Bulls teams a run.
