    Jordan won 6 titles because he was the GOAT Playoff performer and GOAT Finals performer.

    Sure, he had help, but so has every legend during their title runs. To think those Bulls teams were any more stacked than what Bird, Magic, Kareem, Russell, etc. played with is simply revisionist history.

    No player will EVER come close to averaging 33 ppg in the playoffs over an entire career for as long as Jordan did.

    Some of you are just with your ridiculous insinuations that Jordan was a product of great teams. Jordan made those teams what they were. No disrespect to the other great players he played with like Scottie and Dennis, but let's be real: No one can compare with Jordan's playoff resume.

    Yeah it's a stupid premise since Parish was like 42 years old, and Gervin played 1 year (his final and by far his least productive) where MJ played EIGHTEEN games, and averaged 5 ppg in the playoffs.

    Then again, troll thread so it's expected I guess.

    The talent level in the later 90s was defintely diluted, due to more teams.

    That Sixers team beat the Lakers with a still productive Kareem(leading scorer), Jamaal Wilkes(one of the most underrated players of all time), Norm Nixon(another one of the most underrated players), and of course Magic. They also had Michael Cooper, one of the best defensive players of all time. Worthy was just a rookie. Wilkes, Kareem, and Magic were all allstars.

    The Celtics faced one of the best power forward-center tandems ever, with Ralph and Hakeem. The same Houston team that beat Kareem, Magic, Worthy, and Byron Scott in 5 games.

    Even if it's true, who the hell cares?

    You can't diminish Jordan's legacy kid, you just can't.

    Jordan got off to a very slow start post season wise in the winning department.So i wouldn't say his "goat" playoff resume is in concrete.

    ok, we will see next time a greatest of all time team thread comes up.

    I said if we were going by NBA careers only Kukoc wouldn't touch the hall of fame, winning the 6MOY once and never making the all-star game won't get you in.
    your right..... I agree. All I said is kukoc will get in based on why sabonis got in. Your the one that tried to argue it.


    Arguably the greatest college basketball player of all-time doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? You're an idiot.
    If were talking about nba accomplishments then no I don't believe walton belongs in the hall. But basketball career? Oh yeah..... he belongs.
    I also do think kukoc would've made multiple all-star games had he been in a different situation. But eother way, kukoc will get in based on him being one of the greatest european players ever.

    I'm actually on both sides of this argument.

    Jordan never had the teams good enough to win when he first entered the league. That's. Really not his fault

    But there's also the implication that a lot of the bulls championship contributions were minimal. And that jordan won on his own that also is wrong.

    It's not really an agenda if you consider him the GOAT. And on paper, his Bulls were less stacked than the teams of the players mentioned above. Relative to the league? No doubt the most stacked, especially if we are talking 1996-1998. And he was without a doubt the best player on those teams, so I don't really see a problem or anything to be ashamed of. The actual problem is when people want to pretend he won six championships with casts comparable to '94 Olajuwon or '03 Duncan. That may seem preposterous to you, maybe you believe it, but it's definitely as much a rampant train of thought as anything else.

    It's the same thing people do and have been doing to Bill Russell for years. All they spew out is, "Russell's teams were loaded with all of those hall of famers. That's why they won all of those titles." They ignore the fact that two of his hall of fame teammates, K.C. Jones and Frank Ramsey were never all stars or all NBA anything when they played. They ignore the fact that "hall of famer", Clyde Lovellete, joined Russell's Celtics at the end of his career playing a ca. '97 Robert Parish role, barely averaging 6ppg. Sam Jones didn't even start getting 20 mpg in the playoffs until his 4th season. Russell had already won 3 titles by then. What is also left out is the fact that a few of Russell's hof teammates were inducted 15-20 years after they retired, which shows that they were far from "first ballot".

    How many playoff series has Jordan played? 32+?

    He never ever lost a series with a higher seed, and he is 6-0 in the finals. No one comes close to Jordan in terms of playoffs resume, at least no one other than Bill Russell.
