Jordan's 1989 Playoff Run vs. Lebron's 2007
Jordan's Bulls were 47-25 and the 6 seed.
Lebron's Cavs were 50-32 and the 2 seed.
1st Round Jordan: CLE...(#3 seed, 57-25, #2 ranked defense... 40.0.. 6.0.. 8.1.. 59.8% TS.. 51.8% FG)
1st Round Lebron: WSH (#7 seed, 41-41, #28 ranked defense.. 27.0.. 8.5.. 7.5.. 54.9% TS.. 42.5% FG)
2nd Round Jordan: NYK (#2 seed, 52-30, #10 ranked defense... 35.5.. 9.5.. 8.3.. 64.6% TS.. 55.0% FG)
2nd Round Lebron: NJN (#6 seed, 41-41, #15 ranked defense... 24.7.. 7.3.. 8.5.. 53.7% TS.. 42.3% FG)
Conf. Finals Jordan: DET (#1 seed, 62-30, #3 ranked defense... 30.0.. 5.5.. 6.5.. 59.8% TS.. 46.0% FG)
Conf. Finals Lebron: DET (#1 seed, 53-29, #7 ranked defense... 25.7.. 9.1.. 8.5.. 53.7% TS.. 44.9% FG)
This easily proves that Lebron's 2007 run is vastly overrated..

This clearly needs a thread of it's own.

In basketball more than ANY other sport the better team wins so i dont think it matters that much.
It's also about match ups more than any other sport. If you're going up against a field of really good teams, your chances of being "upset" by one who matches up well with you is much higher than if you're going against completely garbage competition.

Well, it's funny, because at the time, the NBA's couldn't even beat Euroleague.
They had just lost 7 times on the biggest stage (world stage) to Euroleague talent in international play.. That's how inferior their skill and brand of basketball was at that time..
It's the weakest era the NBA ever had - the ONLY one that couldn't beat Euroleague..
