If Jordan gets a pass for 95, why doesn't LeBron for this year

[bwink23]

LOL he wasn't in basketball shape.

The dude wasn't injured. He dropped 55 on the Knicks in his 5th game back. 2 months later was having his highest playoff stats post 93.

He had Peak Pippen, Ron Harper who was doing 20/6/5 in 94, 94 All-Star BJ Armstrong, the "Euro Jordan" in Kukoc, and still lost to 3rd year Shaq and 2nd year Penny with the elimination game coming in CHICAGO

Yet he didn't have any lift and he shot 41%FG in those 17 games...very unlike PRIME MJ.

U mad?

[97 bulls]

The difference is its obvious that james doesnt want the big moment. I think he only does it to try to quiet his critics. I mean, why would you pass the ball to shane battier with a man on him? Why pass the ball to a rookie norris cole? Both in the waining momets of a close tough game.

James needs to stop worrying about what people are gonna say and think about him and just do him.

Jordan didnt play bad vs orlando. He made some bad decisions but they were agressive. And he wasnt trying to steer clear of the ball. Its clear the bulls problem was that they needed some help down low.

Lebron doesn't get a pass because he shouldn't need one. People don't care about '95 because it is one disappointment in the middle of 6 championships.

because Jordan's off year after layoff would be like epic dream year for kobo...jordan's slow year > kobe's prime

[Roundball_Rock]

Both of these are right.

Especially the 98' Finals. Pretty much everyone thought the Bulls were out of gas since they narrowly beat the Pacers in the ECF in 7 games while the Jazz swept the Shaq and 3 other all-star Lakers in the WCF...

Real talk.

Jordan lost in 95 without an inside rebounding/defensive presence PF like LeBron is now.

Jordan put up better playoff stats in 95 than 96, 97, or 98.

Jordan was coached by Phil Jackson, LeBron has Spoelstra

He had Peak Pippen, Ron Harper who was doing 20/6/5 in 94, 94 All-Star BJ Armstrong, the "Euro Jordan" in Kukoc, and still lost to 3rd year Shaq and 2nd year Penny with the elimination game coming in CHICAGO

Dude comes back drops 55 on one of the best defensive teams in the league, and yall want us to believe that 2 MONTHS LATER when he's averaging his highest playoff stats post 93 he's somehow....not himself

Training camp itself is 2 weeks......not 2 MONTHS

LeBron is losing to a battle tested championship veteran team.

Jordan lost to a team led by two 3rd and 2nd year players.

glad to be an asshole ? well played
