Can someone explain how MJ averaged 11 assists in 91 finals
So as the GOAT... I can understand how MJ can average 31.2 ppg on 55.8% shooting, and also grab 6.6 boards a game, get 2.8 steals a game, and 1.4 blocks a game...
but I can not understand how, despite doing all that, he manages to average 11.4 assists per game, being responsible for almost 60 of his teams points per game....
at the same time, Magic Johnson, who is the GOAT PG, only managed to average 1 more assist than MJ...

finals defense should be really tight, and jordan didn't have much good shooters around him, so for him to average 11 assists is pretty amazing, he must have made alot of good passes

Apparently you didn't know John paxson. He had some amazing games during that series.

Lakers doubled a lot.. Pippen and the supporting cast really benefited.. especially Paxson in game 5..

Not really... the other Bulls averaged 16.4 apg compared to 6.8 for the non Magic Lakers. As a proportion of the teams assists Jordan didnt compare to Magic.

Well first of all MJ played something like 44 minutes per game.
Second, they ran everything through him. His USG% was through the roof.
Third, they guarded him closely so he had to pass the ball a lot after sucking the defense in.
Those are the reasons.

amazing thing is that MJ did it while averaging 32ppg on 56% shooting, grabbing 6.6 boards, getting 2.4 blocks and 1.5 blocks a game....

Jordan played brilliantly, and his Bulls were hungry for success against an injury riddled opponent.
