LeBron deserves a ton of credit for getting the 2007 team to the Finals

that was an awful team. It was LeBron and 4 D-leaguers taking the floor.

Fox sports on why Jordan's 6-0 finals record is overblown:

You can make points about why Lebron has had it easy.

Yet MJ never beat a team as good as the 2016 Warriors.

Prove it! You can't. This is why this is the dumbest argument

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:12am

That team had the best record ever. Is that not proof?

5/27/17 11:23am

No it's not proof

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:25am

If Lebron would have played when Jordan played he would have been Karl Malone

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:20am

My favorite point there is that he beat a bunch of players on teams with no

5/27/17 10:14am

This was the only point I didn't agree with him on

-C9-

5/27/17 10:15am

Okay, but point 1 is kinda underwhelming as well. Jordan wouldn't be able to

5/27/17 10:31am

yeah, if that's a point he was making, its a terrible point

smokymountainrain

5/27/17 10:33am

That argument is entirely uninformed. Jordan dominated elite defenses

Prove it.

benny1982

Prove they weren't

WJCougar

5/27/17 10:50am

Huh?

benny1982

5/27/17 10:50am

Exactly.

WJCougar

5/27/17 10:51am

My "huh" was in response to not knowing what "they" referred to.

benny1982

5/27/17 10:52am

And he would have spent more time developing his 3 point shot if he played today

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:14am

I think the point there is more along the lines of

2018grad

5/27/17 10:36am

Which basically means his point means nothing.

5/27/17 10:38am

No, he's attacking the assertion that some people make that Jordan would

benny1982

5/27/17 10:46am

Let me expand...his point means nothing in the context of Jordan't 6-0 record

5/27/17 10:50am

Gotcha. I agree.

benny1982

5/27/17 10:51am

His point isn't that MJ wouldn't do well in today's league.

garyfan

5/27/17 10:38am

In a league where James Harden has free rein and shoots double digit free

5/27/17 10:45am

Exactly! If harden could score 30 a game Jordan could do the same easily.

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:11am

Why?

-C9-

5/27/17 11:38am

If you think harden is anywhere near the player Jordan was there is no

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:41am

You never answered my question.

-C9-

5/28/17 9:42am

Well, one reason why is he shot more at a higher percentage. While that alone

5/28/17 10:58am

Still doesn't answer my question. We don't base greatness on points alone.

-C9-

5/28/17 11:23am

I misunderstand your question then. I thought you were asking why Jordan would

5/28/17 3:36pm

1991 championship was over the Lakers.

BYUHgrad

and he beat the back to back champs in the ECF that year

cougarstolz

5/27/17 11:27am

Great point. So in the '91 championship, he beat 5 rings.
