You really wanna compare a 3 day stretch at the beginning of the season to another one mid way season? smh...

(Must players are rusty starting the season, you pick it up and peak usually mid way cause no more rust.

Did he do it vs 3 teams that made the playoffs the season before?

I'm sure he did it versus teams that have actually won a game. What's the combined record of the Pelicans and Rockets?

Put an asterisk there

Notice MJ's high shot volume - of course high shot volume alone can only control pace somewhat - it isn't enough to win... High volume AND high efficiency is what devastates teams, which MJ was able to accomplish during that run.

Furthermore, high efficiency at high volume [COLOR="Navy"]while winning a championship[/COLOR] requires the most skill - the player must achieve the high volume at high efficiency within a team concept, without diminishing the stats of teammates.

The only players reach the holy grail of basketball skill by shooting high volume at high efficiency while winning a championship (25+ shot attempts on 45%+ during the playoffs) were MJ (1992, 1993, 1997, and 1998) and Hakeem (1995).. It's crazy - sometimes we forget how skilled Hakeem eventually became.
