    Default Brunson at 22/5/4 on 61% TS... MJ took the 89' Pistons to 6 game with Pippen at 9 ppg

    So in his 4th healthy season, Luka isn't measuring up to the goat standard

    Jordan always won the title with a high seed seed and 22/5/4 from his sidekick - the reason that Luka isn't competitive with that kind of help is due to brand of ball

    jordon never led a team to a championship with his #2 scorer averaging 15.9 ppg though.

    89 Pippen watched Jordon quit in that ECF.

    After the Bulls took a 2-1 lead

    Game 4: 23/2/4 on 5/15
    Game 5: 18/5/9 on just 8 shot attempts
    Game 6: 32/4/13, definitely good production, but had 8 turnovers and shot 5/12 from the FT line

    These were 3 games the Bulls all lost by single digits, 2 at home, so a winnable series if Jordan doesn't have such subpar performances.

    Orlando Woolridge at 23/6/2 61% TS. MJ couldn't manage a .500 record nor win more than one game in the playoffs.

    I mean, since we're making dumb analogies.

    Lebron only averaged 25.9, which Jordan never did because he didn't have a super-team where everyone could share the wealth among stars.. Jordan carried the load every year, not just a one-off Eastern Conference run.

    Jordan 3-peated with his sidekick at 17 on 41% and worse in the Finals, while Wade averaged 20 and Lebron 25 in the 13' Finals - so Lebron always needed an equal-scoring partner in the Finals and never defeated maximum defensive attention (never carried scoring load in Finals)

    I think if everyone just replied with that, it would kill the threads off quick.

    Worst-ever 3-game stretch in Playoffs


    96' Jordan Finals..... 24 on 37% (gm 4-6)*
    89' Jordan ECF........ 24 on 45% (gm 4-6)

    11' Lebron Finals..... 14 on 39% (gm 3-5)
    10' Lebron ECSF ..... 21 on 34% (gm 4-6)
    13' Lebron Finals..... 16 on 39% (gm 1-3)


    * goat floor


    CONCLUSION: the goat had the highest peak and floor (above)

    LeBron could be the worst player of all time, nothing LeBron did changes ANYTHING about how Jordan played in those 3 games
