How come no one ever discredits MJs rings when he played in the East ?

[mehyaM24]

When Billups is ur best player, u shouldn't be destroying a team with 4 hall of famers.
Right back at you.

when was billups ever anybodies best player?

i think you made a booboo

History doesn't care about the strength of your conference (or even the league). The are always good teams and good players in the league so a ring is a ring. You can only beat the people you play.

Lets talk about Kobe's competition from 08 to 10, shall we?

08

Nuggets 50-32
Jazz 54-28
Spurs 56-26
Celtics 66-16

09

Jazz 48-34
Rockets 53-29
Nuggets 54-28
Magic 59-23

10

Thunder 50-32
Jazz 53-29
Suns 54-28
Celtics 50-32

So in that 3 year span, 11 out of the 12 teams Kobe faced won 50+ games. Result? 2 rings. The 08 Celtics were the only team he lost to, and they were stacked like pancakes and damn near won 70 games during the regular season. They probably would have beaten the Bulls 72 win mark if KG didn't miss 11 games.

Hard to think of a player who had to face better competition through a 3 year span.

Kobe was ridiculous at his best. Not a better sight in basketball than Kobe when he was hot.

I'm trying to figure out a difference between the 2?

How can it be the worst head to head against the West, but only the 2nd worst EC winning % ever?

The winning percentage is the cumulative winning % of the conference as a whole. The Head to Head is East vs West. Link to the info (Only had through Dec. for this latest season, info for that can be found elsewhere):

http://www.sports-reference.com/blog...nce-disparity/

The late 90s (including the Bulls Historic 72 win season) had some of the best Eastern conference winning %s and H2H records vs the West post merger. Post Decision East has the worst. These are facts.

But let's hear more about 'mythology'

I should have guessed. You weren't born yet in 2004.

[Mr Feeny]

Early 90s ... Detroit .. Bad Boys

Mid 90s ... Knicks ... multiple 55+ win seasons.

Late 90s ... Pacers ... multiple 50+ win seasons.


OP too busy shitting his diapers in the 90s to know anything about basketball.

Spot on.

Hard to think of a player who had to face better competition through a 3 year span. Unlike Bron, Kobe didn't get any bye rounds, such as the Bucks, Bobcats being led by a crippled Al Jefferson, or the JV Bulls squad

90's Pistons, Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, Magic, Heat. Jordan also didn't collude with and join two of the best players in his conference like LeCakeWalk

2004 pistons. Billups was their best player. Enough said.

I actually do work the OTC market
When you're old enough, you just might begin to understand the ins and outs of it.

There is no reason with people who ignore the numbers. You don't win 55+ games in MULTIPLE seasons with scrubs.
