    Default How many players made the playoffs with a losing record?

    Who is on this list? Was it a weak era?

    It's funny because in the 80's, nearly all teams made the playoffs (16 of 22 teams)

    So when MJ was hurt in 86', the team only won 30 games and had no business in the playoffs - but since nearly every team made it, the bulls were forced to face the goat Celtics as the 8 seed (even though the bulls were more like a 12 seed)

    And yet the 23-year old MJ led his quasi-12 seed to a closer series vs the goat Celtics than Lebron's 2 seeds played the Spurs and Warriors

    As usual, MJ did more with less.. this time WAY less

    A more interesting question is how many players won a ring playing against only teams with losing records.

    You might not think that's possible, and it wouldn't be today, but it did happen in the past.
