How much better would have the 02 Wizards been if ...

[ILLsmak]

Are you considering 02 wizard was a decent team????

Yea, that's what baffles me. We're talking about a team that was one of the worst in the NBA. Look at that roster.

Jordan led them in scoring and assists. His assists were FIVE. In the games he played, they were 30-30, that's pretty amazing. I used to hate on MJ because I was from Illinois and got tired of listening to people suck his dick. Now that I'm "mature" I realize that he was even good on the Wizards. Shit like % doesn't matter if you are getting wins with a terrible team. And that team was extra terrible.

Op is Kobe nut hugger who hates MJ and uses MJ's avy. That's just low.

Pretty sure Kobe Bryant has the edge in cumulative regular season team records at this age if thats what is important nowdays.

Actually, do the math before you say something like that.

In his career, Jordan is 706-366 and through age 34, which would be the 97 season he was 577-271. Thats an average of 54.0 and 55.8 wins in an 82 game season in both cases.

Kobe is 780-406. Thats an average of 53.9 wins in an 82 game season.

So Jordan averages more wins. Thats incredibly telling cause in both cases (through 97 and for his whole career) Jordan has played on significantly more scrub teams while playing less seasons then Kobe. One easy explanation for that is that Jordan gets much more out of his teammates i.e. he is a much better leader.

that team just sucked

An idiotic thread created by an idiotic poster.

[kNicKz]

All star caliber players like Kwame Brown, Jared Jeffries, Chris Whitney, and Christian Laettner

[Boston C's]

Wasn't Jordans stats before he got injured comparable to kobe that yr

just sayin

[Clifton]

You're right. In light of this bullshit advanced statistic, we should have run the offense through Jahidi White.

I watched almost every game that team played. That Jordan would be a top 10 player today. And he was a model of efficiency. I don't know how often his shots went in (wouldn't be surprised if he shot 42% or so), but that doesn't matter. What matters is *actual* efficiency - not holding onto the ball too long, making good and quick decisions, not taking a lot of shots early in the shot clock that aren't likely to go in, etc.

this guy typed dat shit with a straight face!

[Droid101]

Or in 2008

32.55 USG% 47.1 TS%

They made the NBA finals. What is wrong with you?

[Kblaze8855]

Well considering that they won 27 of his 53 starts that year and went like 10-19 otherwise....they probably win more if they had more of his ball hogging.

[AlphaWolf24]

Top four seed in the East for sure, maybe better. Even though he was nearly 40 years old playing himself into shape, Jordan sucked ass that year and was clearly holding them back.

So predictable. And brilliant rebuttal.

How do you explain Wizards in the playoffs that year before he got injured and played worse with him out? He a chucker right that should of freed up the Wizards.
