Serious Question: Would the 2014 Spurs still have won if we replace Lebron with MJ?

[Dragic4Life]

Are the Spurs and Pop really THAT good?

[atljonesbro]

Yes

[Dragic4Life]

Yes

Ok.

But I think the question can really spur some intelligent discussion among NBA fans.

the series would have been taken to 7 games.

[juju151111]

At least 7 games.

[Roundball_Rock]

Did people watch how the games were blowouts after the first 2 games? Is Mike over LeBron going to erase 20 point deficits?

[Dragic4Life]

Notable factor: MJ does NOT have the triangle offense.

It's just Coach Spo and those scrubs on the Heat.

[Sarcastic]

Jordan has never lost in the Finals, so I will say no, the Spurs would not have won.

[FKAri]

Yes. Anyone saying no is a mythologist and/or overly nostalgic.

Mike is the greatest scorer of all time, and the greatest playoff performer/scorer of all time. So yes. Or the worst case scenario, come very close to winning those games.

Some of those games were bust open in the 4th Q. Not to mention the ****** cramp he had in game 1 where the game was close. This is the reason I said 7. The Bulls shouldn't of won in 93 and 97. That was all Will to win and coming up clutch. Put LJ in the 93 finals and 97 and he gets his shit wrecked.

[Dragic4Life]

What offense is Spo gonna run with MJ?

The triangle?

And you realise the next best player on the squad is Wade right?

The Spurs won by an average of 14. In order to believe that the Heat would win, or even get to a Game 7, with MJ you have to believe MJ>>>LeBron and would massively outproduce a 28/8/4 on 57% player to offset the difference. If MJ was that good he would have won the championship every year. You basically are saying MJ=LJ and then adds the value of a Chris Bosh on top.
