Wow, MJ shot 3/18 in a playoff game.

[SFMF]

So shooting 16% while having well rounded stats is better than shooting 25% with well rounded stats? Hey just sayin......

Well, I haven't read anything else after the first page.

If it was game 7 of the NBA Finals, he would get way more crap for it and deservingly so.

[Psileas]

No it was like 5 bro. I remeber cuz he made like 25 fts or something. Maybe not exactly 5 but it was damn close.

It was actually 7 FGM (3 were 3-pointers) and 23 FT's. Of course, going by some of the comments written here, it doesn't matter whether you score on FG's or FT's, as long as you do the job.
BTW, I do remember a game where Barkley scored 26 points on 2 FG's and 22 FT's, so that was technically even "worse".

[Lebron23]

He also averaged 32.2 ppg on 40% from the field in that series. The 1993 Knicks was a very good defensive Team. Pippen averaged 23 ppg on 51 FG% vs. Knicks in that playoffs.

1st half against ZO 's heat (1997 ECF Game # 4)

Jordan only shot 38.7 FG% (30.2 ppg) in that series, and the Bulls still beat the Heat in 5 games.

I'm watching game 5 of the 93 playoffs against the Knicks, and just heard he shot 3/18 in game 3 of that series. Not a knock on him or anything, just surprised a guy that accustomed us to huge games (especially in the playoffs), would have such a bad shooting night. He did score 22 and added 11 assists, though.

Ya, but the GOAT is also 6/6 against better defense.

LeFraud soon to be 2/6

Are you asking to be made fun of? Were you around back then to watch him get scratched, shoved, and hand checked back then? Do me a favor and stop trolling because your setting yourself for a bad situation in which you're going to get picked on by plenty of people on this board.

An idiotic bump after Lebron shoots 37%fg. Are you kidding me?

Ofcourse Pippen wasn't the one being double and triple team. But seeing as how you weren't alive back then, we'll give you pass for not knowing what the hell you're talking about.

Especially in that game four. Jackson called timeouts twice in the fourth because Jordan was BLEEDING. They showed replays and Starks wasn't handchecking him. He was actually scratching him. Scratching another player. On a basketball court.

[Dro]

omg

obviously jordan was superior to kobe, but that is obsessive and pathetic beyond any reason.

WOW

Don't get mad because the shut down any hope delusional Kobe fans had that he was even in the same ballpark as MJ...Some call it ether, Kobe fans call it pathetic

[diamenz]

guess mj wasn't feelin' it.

came back in game four with 54 pts.
