2017/18 NBA Regular Season

Coach said:

Were you even alive when they won? Did you even watch one of their games that year? Or are you just pushing a narrative you read about form some ESPN columnist? This is one of the dumbest (and honestly pointless) arguments that keeps coming back. Move on.

MJ doesnt lose in the Finals. Not in his DNA. So tell me what eastern conference team beats them in 94 and 95 if hes in his normal form. Ill wait.

I dont think that occurs if Jordan plays the full season

I wonder how much better Hakeem would have been if he wasn't fasting for a month every year.

That is one of the more impressive things about him. He held strong to his faith. I don't think it would have been a huge bump, but it was a month every year so who knows.

In the 95 playoffs Jordan averaged 31.5/6.5/4.5/2.3/1.4 on 48.4/36.7/81
In the 96 playoffs Jordan averaged 30.7/4.9/4.1/1.8/0.3 on 45.9/40.3/81.8 
 
He was “back” by the time the playoffs rolled around. What’s probably different is the Bulls are probably a 3 seed or higher and don’t play the Magic until the conference finals. But we really have no way of knowing who would have and have not won. Between the Bulls first title and the Rockets second title Hakeem was 7-3 against the Bulls

Here's the thing: WE WILL NEVER KNOW. It didn't happen, so it is hard to tell if Starks/Oakley/Ewing would have beat the Bulls in 94 or if Penny/Shaq would have beat them in 95. I do know that both of those teams were very good. Orlando had to beat the Bulls (with MJ) and a really good Reggie-led Pacers team to get there. The Knicks had some all-time greats on their roster as well. 
 
The Rockets were a championship-caliber team those years. To demonstratively assert that the Bulls would have clearly beat them one or both years is just ridiculous because the Rockets were hella good both years. They beat some pretty great WC teams along the way as well. 

It's not in his dna guys

No use arguing with cc or paulie

Im sorry that youre so used to the guy youve called the greatest of all time since 2012 losing in the finals that you cant picture any other players being too good to do so.

LeBron would be better off getting bounced in the first round I guess?

This isnt how we have to look at it

Total career years and how many rings

So ill even include the 95 where mj played for 17 games

MJ = 6/15
Bron= 3/14 and about to be 3/15 after this year

So yea let me get 6/15

guess we'll have to see how he does

He doesn't scream coach to me but Memphis believes in him

I'm surprised Sam Cassell hasn't had a HC chance

yea i was taken back a bit when i saw penny was hired. but as jake said. kevin ollie was the next big thing and he fizzled a bit. maybe penny will do better

I say he’d be better off winning 12 rings, 1 more than Russell. I think this is pretty good analysis tbh

Not Hakeem’s fault Bulls lost to the Magic in 95. 
 
And there the narrative changes cause while Lebron has never lost in the first round, Jordan has

Because the goal is to not lose in the first round

What narrative lol

The goal is to win, thats always been the narrative. You Lebron fans like to create final appearance narratives and what not

Mj has won 6/15, bron won 3/15

Simple as that, we dont have to look at anything else

Its about winning
