Jordan's Greatest Playoff Series

[Round Mound]

I dont think you can say that about Barkley maybe Chambers but not Barkley. Barkley was on a mission. He averaged like 25ppg and god knows how many boards.

Stupid Jordan Jockers say "Jordan prevented so many HOFs to Win a Ring" it was more like JORDAN and PIPPEN!!!! AND COACH PHIL

Barkley was good in the Finals, would have been better hand he not injured his elbow in the 2nd game of the finals

He still did average 27.3 PPG, 13.0 RPG and 5.5 APG

lol @ the wild overrating of 3 game "series" stats. More like a couple of good games.

Has Kobe ever had a playoff series as dominant as what Jordan did vs Washington in 97?

Random question, but I'm wondering if you have Barkley's 47 point game vs. the Blazers in the '95 playoffs? I've wanted to watch it for a while.

Barkley played his ass off that series... They would have beaten any other team IMO. Barkley made that 1 mistake at the end of game 6 and Bulls killed them.. The Bulls did that to every team who stepped up to them in that era..

ask the Knicks
ask the Cavs
ask the Jazz

they all have terrible stories about the bulls

fatal hating on jordan.

Not surprising at all

You still mad your boy is at disneyland?

Come on bro, the Miami series where the Heat were like the worst rated defensive team in the league and won a lowly 38 games on the season...it doesn't compare to say the following series against the Knicks in '92 even if his stats weren't as great. Everyone on the Bulls did whatever they wanted against that team (Pippen destroyed them too iirc). And the '86 Celtics series is a classic example of two great games, and then a poor game 3 which was an elimination game at home. Just doesn't compare to his other stuff to me. I'm not saying what he did wasn't impressive, just that you can't compare them to 5-7 game series against better opponents where he consistently had to perform over not only more games, but games that would be wire to wire and require him to do some legendary stuff in the clutch.

Weren't you leaving the board if the Lakers lost? What happened?

vs. Miami, 1992 - 45.0 pts/9.7 reb/6.7 ast/3 stl/1 blk/61% FG


In case you're wondering, Jordan's career playoff averages upon retirement in 1993 (24 series and 111 playoff games in total) were 35.8 pts/6.7 reb/6.7 ast/2.4 stl/1.1 blk/51.5% FG. Basically a 36/7/7/2.4/1.1/52% career playoff average through age 30. Sickness.

These are my 2k numbers.

1992 Heat had -3.5 SRS and 111 Drtg ..

Just saying .

What about the 1986 Celtics' 9.06 SRS?... What did Jordan's stats look like against their #1 defense?

And forget about comparing ORtg and DRtg across eras - the higher proportion of 2-pointers taken in previous eras led to higher offensive rebounding rate, which increased everyone's ratings - this is why the Bad Boy Pistons had worse DRtg's than Nash's Suns - it's statistical fact.

And overall - forget the stats!!!!... Just saying, WATCH the games and imagine anyone from today's game doing the ACTUAL MOVES he does:

Game 1 vs. Miami: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztlnKZSPtcw

Game 2 vs. Miami: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5sHdmQahNk


See him elude double-teams quickly and efficiently like no other player in the history of the game - notice how cleanly he disposes of defenders.. A guy like Westbrook must get in a big huff and puff about everything he does - MJ did the same things WITH EASE - that's why he shot 10 percentage points better.

MJ has a dunk at 3:12 in that first game where he gets up higher and dunks harder than Westbrook ever did - but he makes it look so damn easy that you don't notice that he dunked harder and got up higher... Then he follows it up right after with a dunk Westbrook simply can't do AT ALL.

Oh , 1986 Celtics series is goat level performances by Jordan . But They talked about 92 Heat series and i did show them truth .
