FACT #1: MJ scored at least 10 ppg more than his 2nd option in every single playoff series OF HIS CAREER (except two, where he scored 8 ppg and 5 ppg more).

He also led his team in passing by assisting on the highest proportion of teammate field goals (MJ led the Bulls in assist percentage for for both 3-peats)... AND he played goat-level defense.

To summarize - MJ led his team in scoring by the biggest margin ever, while also leading in passing and playing goat-level defense.. No other player in history has come anywhere NEAR carrying this kind of load.



FACT #2: NBA.com tracks the percentage of team points scored by a player while they are on the floor.

MJ scored 45-50% of his team's 4th quarter points in the 1997 and 1998 playoffs and Finals.. This dwarfs anyone else in the database by a mile.



FACT #3: When you account for pace, MJ scored more than Wilt Chamberlain's 50 ppg season.

In 1987, the Bulls played at a 96 pace, compared to 131 for Philly during Wilt's 50 ppg season... Obviously, when you account for the pace difference, Wilt only averaged 33.5 ppg, or less than MJ's 37 ppg.. Of course, MJ's career playoff average was 33.5 ppg, compared to Wilt's 22 ppg.

MJ is easily the greatest scorer of all time.. FAR BETTER THAN WILT CHAMBERLAIN.. These are the facts.. That is all.
