    Jimmy Butler is on the list twice. And everything since 2016. Obviously rule changes made everything different for this era. Imagine not having the bigs in the 80's and 90's like now.

    Yup lets compare Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, John Stockton, and Karl Malone to Devin Booker and Chris Paul. Seems legit.

    He just needed every other team to have injuries and his team trade all the future picks for jru holiday.

    Apparently not there. The great jimmy is though, twice! Ties lebron, lol. That's one future top5 player of all time. Goes to show how solid that list is.

    This era is stacked.

    Jordan's opponents don't even have a game in the top 100 in the finals?

    The fact that butler has 2 out of the 5 should tell u all u need to know about this era. You just proved that all these great stats lately are a result of the easier rules. Great job buddy. I hope you don't plan on being a lawer

    Also hit a game-winning shot. And it was against a better Phoenix Suns team lol led by a player greater and better than old “moment is too big” Chris Paul and Devin Booker.

    Hell that 1993 Suns team, had a point guard as good or better than this version of Chris Paul. And he’s Phoenix supposed best player

    Take those 2 Butler games and match them up against Jordan's finals game.

    Looks to me Butler out performed many of Jordan's games.

    Does this make you upset?

    Jordan doesn't have a game in the top 5 of finals game scores.

    The 93 Suns team the Bulls beat in the finals was better than this Suns team.

    Great question. He lacked the all around skills to achieve a Finals game at this level of play.

    Nah man comparing stats in the easiest era ever to stats in one if the toughest era's ever is kind of silly. Plus i like butler. He's got that old school mentality and game. It's always a win when a poor mans mj does the shit that butler did in this era. It's a win win buddy
