Jakyl25 posted...UltimaterializerX posted... I mean Jordan was playing Larry Bird's Celtics and LeBron is playing...these Celtics. For most of Jordan's career, the East was the better conference, which it has literally never been in LeBron's career. He's probably not looking at eight straight Finals if he played his entire career in the better conference. Also, LeBron's playoff resume pre-championship isn't that great either. He gets a lot of credit for that 2007 run (deservedly so but still). also it's weird that Jordan was called a selfish player when he had to do everything by himself and LeBron is called a hero because he has to drag all this dead weight --- ...

So basically LeBron has never had to pass through a contender to make the finals. Please stop with this goat garbage. Fighting mediocrity alone is no amazing feat.

Jordan never beat Bird's Celtics and only beat Magic's Lakers when they were past their prime and hurt. the all-time greats cleared out before Jordan got his turn. I think Jordan is an all-time great of course but the best team they beat was.. the 93 Suns, probably? or the 92 Knicks/98 Pacers? and he left before the Rockets came into their own. (I don't think the Jazz were all that great.)

Yeah Jordan managed to dodge all those really good 80's teams and took over when the league was kinda soft.
I'd take a lot of 2000+ teams over Utah, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, and the Lakers. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean he didn't really dodge them. He had to play a lot of them. He just wasn't able to beat Bird's Celtics, which were kind of hard to solo (not that it stopped him from trying) although they did eventually get over the Detroit hurdle.

I think Detroit got kinda old too. they had already been to 3 straight finals.

I dont get why they stopped going through Durant usually, it's because the defense has adjusted, or the player isn't feeling it, i think anyway, third quarter warriors in effect - they just seem to be getting luckier, and the crowd is helping a ton right now! --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...

They are a soft team, led by a soft player, and coached by a very soft coach.
And Chris Paul is not a HOF player. Too injury prone. The best ability is availability. I will never forgive him for condemning us to another Warriors title with his fragility. --- "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE ... Copied to Clipboard!
