Seeing what's happening really makes me appreciate how MJ 3-peated TWICE

[Derivative]

3 peat is considered the ultimate sign for domination and dynasty, yet it's also one of the hardest to achieve.

Magic couldn't do it
Kareem couldn't do it
Bird couldn't do it
Duncan couldn't do it
Wilt couldn't do it
Hakeem couldn't do it
Kobe couldn't do it as the best player
Russell did it but in a weak era with 8 teams while he had the most stacked team
Lebron looks like he's gonna fall short

The only players that carried their teams to a 3-peat are MJ and Shaq. And Shaq only did it because he had the refs to rig 2002 playoffs for him.


And MJ was able to do it TWICE, the second time was when he was out of his prime. Wow.

Does this idiot even know what "yet" means?

Oh the irony...

[AlphaWolf24]

What about an 8 peat like Russell?

Weak era according to OP

[theoneneo]

Why credit Shaq for a three peat but not Kobe?

Kobe's numbers as a second option are on par with Lebrons first option numbers

Agree, Kobe should get credit, Shaq wasn't going at it 1 v 5

If you include Jordan and Shaq, then Kobe is in there

We can all agree that these 3 players are on another tier than Le2/5

Fuck no.


Kobe was a damn sidekick.


SO we include Pippen too?

Weak era according to OP

oh that's right...Russell's teams wouldn't stand a chance against 5'9" Mark Price's Cavs with the defensive stopper greatness of Craig Ehlo

Not sure if Russell and Sam Jones could hang with Greg Ostertag and John Stockton

Russell having to play against Wilt wouldn't know what to do against 6'4" Charles Barkley and CBL scrub Richard Dumas ( who was guarding MJ)

Elgin Baylor and Wilt were scrubs compared to Vlade Divac and Tony smith...even Kevin Duckworth and Clyde " can't dribble with my head up" Drexler would be too much for Russell's Celtics!

Pippen averaged 19/8/6/2/1 in the Finals along with great defense, leadership and other intangibles.

AlphaWolf, you know the deal: avoid a clear, consistent criteria and engage in various contortions to inflate MJ. The real record is 8 straight but ignore Russell because he had a stacked team ( ) to give MJ another manufactured record (many people think the record for rings is 6 and the record for MVP's is 5).

I've got MJ and Russell 1 and 2. Anybody who disregards that era is doing themselves and basketball history a great disservice.
