    Default Prior to winning 1st title, MJ and Lebron had 6 early exits b4 the Finals

    LOTTERY......... Lebron 2, Jordan 0

    1ST RD........... Lebron 0, Jordan 3

    2ND RD........... Lebron 3, Jordan 1

    3RD RD........... Lebron 1, Jordan 2

    UPSETS........... Lebron 2, Jordan 0

    LOCKED UP...... Lebron 2, Jordan 0


    That's 6 early exits each and Jordan won in Year 7, while Lebron won in Year 9 because there were 2 additional years where he was locked up in the Finals (07') and the goat choke in another Finals (11')

    Bill Russell didn't play 3-pointer basketball (modern era) - MJ has the most titles in 3-pointer history as the best player .. And Russell he had 8 all-star teammates (MJ had 1) and he wasn't a go-to player for many titles (Ben Wallace type for numerous titles)

    Only MJ won a bunch of titles with just 1 all-star, so how many would he win if he got a bevy of all-stars like every other all-time great enjoyed?

    Actually you're right - more like Draymond because Russell frequently scored in the teens

    Bran couldn't get past his own Conference despite having the best record in the league in B2B years ('09-'10). Jordan never lost with HCA. Bran lost with HCA 3 years in a row.
