how come Jordan never lost in the Finals?

[Sarcastic]

This

He was basically a definition of a frontrunner

Never won a single series in which he was not a favourite

1989. Chicago Bulls were the 6 seed and beat the 3 seed Cleveland Cavaliers.

Willis Reed. And he had to face Wilt himself. And that's head to head competition.

The stupid shit people say, right?

And what's with penalizing someone for being better than everyone else, or their team? The Bulls were mostly draft picks and timely trades in the first three peat, and more of the same with a couple of big free agent signings in the second three peat. But the core of the team was always draft picks.

GOAT gonna GOAT?

MJ's Bulls could out defend the best defensive team (New York) or out score the best offensive team (Phoenix)

Pick your poison. Plus, MJ refused to lose when the money was on the table on the biggest stage. That simple. It's called will.

'cause he had been by far the best player in the league since he entered his prime? Its not only that he never lost in NBA Finals, but that he only lost once in a playoffs series from 91-98, the one right after his comeback season, still feeling rusty after playing way too much baseball.

How noobish can one man get, that he has to ask such deranged and idiotic questions?

People call it weak competition, but the fact is that Jordan made his competition look weak. Its funny, cause in alot of ways, somehow the Bulls losing the 90s Cavs, Knicks, Pacers, or Jazz and having one or two less titles would probably make their dynasty look even more impressive in some people's eyes because it makes their competition look much better in their eyes.

[get these NETS]

once bulls beat pistons there was no way they would ever lose in playoffs with jordan pip and phil

it's like working out wit weight vest....and ankle weights....and then taking them to workout

[ivienthol]

Jazz were the favorites going into the finals in '98. Bulls were called too old and worn out after the Pacers series while the Jazz were well rested. And since they had experience against the Bulls the previous year people thought it was their time.

Moses.

Moses lost to Celtics and Bird in 1980.

I'm curious who this Finals MVP who never lost in the finals before is.

No one calls it weak competition. It's almost universally recognized that he went through much tougher teams than today's players.

It's already been posted. Willis Reed.

What kinda dumb shit is this?

He never lost because his teams were better and he was the best player in the game.

And the 2 seed Knicks.
