91-93 NBA Finals Stats of players Prime Jordan guarded

[eliteballer]

Magic Johnson: 19 ppg, 8 rebs, 12 ast, 1.2 stl

Clyde Drexler: 25 ppg, 8 rebs, 5 ast, 1.3 stl, 1.0 blk

Dan Majerle: 17 ppg, 8 rebs, 4 ast, 1.3 stl, 2.2 blk

So where is this ultimate lockdown defender that Jordan was?

How is a defender supposed to control how many rebounds and assists the offensive player is getting? At least post FG% for these players

[Timmy D for MVP]

You're supposed to keep people off the boards and obstruct their ability to run the offense.

[DJ Leon Smith]

For whoever asked for the shooting percentages.

Magic Johnson, 43% - if you're going to say that it was Pippen who guarded Magic for the majority of the series, then Jordan moves down to Byron Scott who shot 28%.

Clyde Drexler, 41%.

Dan Majerle, 44%.

Having said that, horrible thread.

(Oh and for comparison - 2008 NBA Finals, Ray Allen 20ppg on 51% shooting, up from 17ppg/45% in the regular season. He was guarded by the All-Defensive First Team SG.)

dumb faak!!

Magic is probably the GOAT if it wasn't for MJ

Clyde was equal to prime (2005-2007) Kobe & Top 5 SG ever

Magic was Runner-Up MVP to MJ in 1991.

Clyde Drexler was Runner-UP MVP to MJ in 1992

Kobe'tards are the dumbest **** ever!!

MJ always faced MVPs or Runner-up MVPs in the finals in magic, drexler, charles,Kemp, malone & malone.

Kobe rarely faced MVP (iverson) in NBA Finals

& still managed to loose 2004 NBA Finals to SG Finals MVP Billups.

& Pierce butt raping NBA MVP Kobe Bryant in 2008 Finals.

Jordan defended stars. Kobe defended Michael Pietrus and Rajon "I can't make a fifteen foot jumpshot" Rondo.

I like how this ass-clown doesn't post their efficiency.

Magic's efficiency was down from the regular season. Jordan was also busy turning in perhaps THE best Finals performance of all time, and thoroughly outplaying Magic at both ends (he out-assisted the GOAT PG through the first 4 games - how embarrassing ).

Drexler's numbers were WAY down as well - he went from 27.2 ppg/7 ast/49% FG in the playoffs before the Finals to 24.8 ppg/5 ast/41% FG. That's about as good a job as you'll do against a superstar.

Majerle's efficiency was down, and MJ didn't guard him all series anyway (see below). More importantly, Jordan was often vulnerable against guys who stood beyond the arc and launched 3's, because he was always looking to help out on defense. Phil Jackson said that this is why occasionally guys like Miller would have some success against Jordan. Majerle was a bomber from deep. Why not talk about how Jordan BLANKED Kevin Johnson for the ~30% of the series that he was on him (mostly second halves and fourth quarters). KJ couldn't do SH!T when Jordan was on him.

Lastly, Jordan at least guarded LEGIT PLAYERS (Magic/Scott, Drexler/Porter, Majerle/KJ). He wasn't being hidden on non-factors like Tony Allen and Rondo, or playing GIMMICK defense. He wasn't getting outplayed by Paul Pierce head-to-head; instead, he DESTROYED Drexler. That's the difference between Jordan and ersatz Jordan.

Cut the bullsh!t agendas, please.

Dam another Kobe vs Jordan thread

We get it, Jordan is not better than Kobe.

Sure mate...

Another thread brought up by a kobestan that got totally ridiculed because of stupidity...

[No Name]

im a kobe fan but even i think/know MJ was better than kobe

kobestans/all stans are retarded

Terrible post aswell.

[Horatio33]

Terrible post aswell.

Why?

Kobe defended marginal players in most of his finals. Reggie in 00 was the toughest. Iverson was guarded by Lue in 01. 02 Kerry Kittles. 04 Rip Hamilton, good player, not a star. 08 and 10 Rondo. 09 Pietrus. Hall of fame is only calling one guy he guarded.
