Michael Jordan average 33/8/8 in 1989 with...

[pauk]

That indeed is sick, he was playing alot of PG that season and dropped something like 10 triple doubles in a row if i remember correctly.... that was the best Jordan according to me, i believe he won a championship later in 1991 not because he got better, but because his team got better

Truth be told...coming from someone who watched those games....some in person...

Overrated season. Not in comparison to most. By but his standards. He had crazy assist numbers because he decided to go get them. He got triple doubles by...deciding to get easy defensive rebounds. He played better to me when his stats were worse in the early 90s.

He was flat out passing up easy shots(for him) to dump it off to guys who were often not even ready for it and then getting mad if they didnt score it.

That was not the best ball he played. Just the best numbers he put up.

Everything about this post is worthy.

Why? Great numbers but basketball is played on a court, not on a stat sheet. Bet you think Wilt's 50/25 season was the best ever.

Do explain why you think this?

Truth.

I wouldn't even say it was his most aesthetically pleasing game. That came in the early 90's, IMO

[CAstill]

No it wasn't. It was his real opinion because he was there and you weren't.
Jordan was better in the 90's.

MJ only had 1 foul, 3 turnovers, and only attempted 16 shots in that game. In the game that I posted, MJ attempted 24 shots, only making 7, had more turnovers, and fouled out in a close game that went into overtime.

As good as jordan was that year,statistically lebron is still ahead a little bit if you account for pace and minutes.

Lebron's adjusted numbers to Jordan's minutes and Bulls pace that year

Jordan 32.5ppg on ts .614% 8rpg 8apg
Lebron 32.489ppg on ts .604% 7.9rpg 9.5apg

i am curious how u got that number? MJ's bull was the 2nd last in pace that year, and it's only 4 pace higher than lebron's cavs i believe

This.

Jordan went to the scorer's table during games to see if he was credited with rebounds and assists. He was infatuated with triple doubles and got mad when his teammates missed what he deemed makeable shots. It was driving coach Doug Collins mad but he didn't have Jordan's respect to get in his face and confront him. Of course he would be fired after the season and the rest is history.

When Jordan played within a proper offensive system under Phil Jackson he was a much better basketball player even if he put up worse stats.

Michael Jordan in 1989 average 32.5ppg (53.8%FG), 8 apg, 8 rpg, and 2.9 spg.....

with the second leading scorer averaging 14.4ppg...

Jordan is the goat scorer, playmaking SG, rebounding SG, perimeter defender, and GOAT all around player... Not even lebron james had this kind of statline


imagine if Michael jordan had dwight howard, pau gasol, and nash.... probably 32ppg, 14apg, 5rpg, 4spg.....

No.
