Re: Michael Jordan 1st threepeat finals vs 2nd threepeat finals

Both versions of Jordan were very very good but come on, 1st peat Jordan is in his prime therefore way better than 2nd peat Jordan.

Not according to jordan. He said what he had lost in athleticism, he made up the slack with strength and wisdom.

Jordan talks lots of trash
not true at all.
B'ball by nature is extremely athletic sport. 40-50% of Bball purely relies on athleticism. nothing can ever make up for the loss of it due to aging. nothing.

Not nearly like the one he worked on after he came back in 1995 and worked on in the offseason before the start of the 1995/6 season. It became his go to move by the start of the 72-10 run.

So you by your logic, Jordan today would be able to dominate the league with just his wisdom? Not gonna happen bro.

Really? How do you explain larry bird? How did kevin love manage to lead the league in rebounds? There's been plenty of great players, whose game didn't revolve around athleticiism.
And jordan even in his mid 30s was still a tremendous athlete.

This is like the difference between Lebron James and Danny Granger. Is it me or 2nd threepeat Jordan seemed sucky in comparison with his 1st threepeat self.
The difference in MJ's Finals stats between the 1st and 2nd threepeats are not simply a function of MJ's abilities. We talking about a tale of two separate eras. During the 1st 3peat the Bulls avg. 104ppg on 50.2fg% in the Finals. During the 2nd 3peat the Bulls avg. 89.6ppg on 42.6fg% in the Finals. That's a -14.4 ppg and a -7.6fg% differential.
Pippen's stats are reflective of this also.
1st 3peat
20.9ppg 9.0rpg 7.3apg 45.6fg%
2nd 3peat
*17.1ppg 7.8rpg 4.5apg 39 fg%
*Yes I do know about Pippen's injuries during the 2nd 3peat.

But your correct. And as eliteballer stated, the league was different. There was a huge emphasis on defense and halfcourt offense.

NBA was terrible defensively in the 80's/early 90's. It's a well known fact.

Re: Michael Jordan 1st threepeat finals vs 2nd threepeat finals
Yeah, but the 2nd 3peat Jordan was almost as good as the first.
It's not really fair to compare the 2 though, the 2nd 3peat Jordan has was really old compared to the others, and he's out of his prime. A slight drop in statistics is expected.
