    Default Anyone that doesn't think Worthy would've 4-peated with MJ from 87-91'...

    doesn't know basketball or history

    Jordan nearly beat the Pistons with no sidekick in 89' and 90', so he would destroy them with "Piston-killer" James Worthy.

    Worthy was #1 option on the 87' and 88' Lakers over Magic/Kareem, so he played better than Pippen ever did.. Pippen was just the low-producing bum that won the "3-peat with MJ" lottery

    Btw, Worthy would've 7-peated with MJ from 85-91' - Worthy averaged 22 on 64% in the 84' Finals and dominated his first Playoffs more than Pippen ever did

    Yh MJ is not beating the 86 or 87 Celtics with Worthy lol, MJ was still a baby himself for starters

    Let's just leave it at 4-peat maybe he's definitely not 7-peating bruh

    Isiah beat those Celtics before Dumars was even an all-star, but MJ can't beat them with prime Worthy?

    Preposterous

    And you think MJ was a "baby"?

    He was 23 years old and averaging 37/5/5.. he was never a "baby", but simply had the same help that lebron had in 04' or 19' (lottery help)

    86' Jordan was "God" according to Bird

    I'm sure Bird would agree that God + prime Worthy would beat his Celtics

    Probably not.

    I doubt they'll be beating the Celts in 87. It won't be a sweep tho.

    88, they may given the Pistons more of challenge. Worthy would be making more shots since the attention was on MJ, but it won't be enough to beat'em I think. Worthy could shoot better than Pippen could at that stage. And with the fastbreak, he was more deadly.

    In 89 and 90, maybe. It depends on team. Like is Pippen still on? Grant?

    Holy crap... y'all are high

    What strain are you smoking bro and where can I get some

    And MJ already won a game in 88' against the Pistons.. yet you're saying they "wouldn't get swept" with Worthy?... Again... dumb

    Finally, Jordan nearly beat the Pistons in 89' and 90' with nothing from Pippen, yet he doesn't win with someone that completely dominated the Pistons?.. Again, that's just dumb

    Y'all hella dumb
    In 88, not in 87.

    And the Pistons had a better overall team and a better coach than the Bulls did.

    In 88, the Bulls would've done a better job against the Pistons I think. They let the other guys shoot. All they cared about is stopping MJ. Worthy would've made them pay. But I don't think it would've been enough to stop'em.

    89 and 90 tho. That's different. It depends on who is on the team.

    The transitive logic you're trying to use right now doesn't apply to basketball.

    Pistons won in 6, but beat Celtics in 4, but lost to Lakers in 5, but beat the lakers in 4. So if you add Worthy to the Bulls they beat all of them.

    Remember when the 2008 Celtics went to 7 against the 37-45 Hawks?

    You're making worthless arguments.

    Right? Give AI Shaq in the late 90s-early 00s and they would've won multiple championships. Might have been a dynasty too!



    Nobody gives a shit about that, but this goofy bitch really thinks its insightful. And worth arguing over.

    Considering that Jordan won a game in 88' without Worthy, it's pretty dumb to say "they wouldn't get swept" with Worthy"

    That alone proves that your assessment is off

    Giving Jordan another top 10 player in Worthy would absolutely beat the 88' Pistons and quite easily.

    Regarding the 87' Celtics....... ditto...... giving Jordan a top 10 player would be similar to the help he had had with pippen, where he went 6/6 and didn't lose more than 2 consecutive games for 10 years

    Carry on

    It's more the logic of the Bulls losing to 6 to the Pistons in 89, who beat the Celtics in 6 in 88, meaning the Bulls would have beaten the Celtics in 87 with Worthy.

    So dumb.

    Yes but Jordan didn't have any help from 85-90'

    Once he got less help than Shaq, Bird, or Magic had, he won much more than all of them

    Pippen was nothing from 88-90' - that's the point.. meanwhile, guys like Worthy or Dominique were completely dominant, and would've won chips with Jordan

    Heck, Dominique nearly beat the Celtics with no help, so Jordan kills them with a top 10 guy like Worthy
