Jordan won because Pippen and Grant became better. Both of those players took a quantitative leap not just as players but also mentally and in their performances against the Pistons.

Even if you didn't watch Jordan play, which you didnt , judging by your comments, look at his stats. In the 89 playoffs (7.5 assists) in the 90 playoffs (7.0 assists). So he definitely was passing.

Laimbeer is such an idiot actually. I remember an interview of him being worried when Pippen started to put up big numbers in the 91 playoff run.

Jordan was more than good enough to be the best player on a championship team even as a rookie. This thing about Jordan needing to "improve" is absolute nonsense. If he was given Magic's team or Bird organization, he would have won 9 or 10 championships.
Passing the ball and making teammates better and learning how to involve them is two totally different things

But they're not, so what does that tell you? The Bulls stopped their 3peat and went on to win 6 championships.:mjgrin:
The Pistons weren’t going to 3-Peat. Isiah’s wrist injury rendered him washed. He was the heart and soul of the team and was 13/8 on 40% FG in the ‘91 playoffs.

The Bulls were much better and younger, a 62 win team vs. a 50 win team. By that point Dumars was the best player. The Pistons weren’t expected to 3-Peat they were washed by then.

Im going to feel a way if you needed outside help to beat me. You initially laid it out as simply losing to them while I stated the why. It wasnt as simple as losing as you stated. Thats my point.
Since when has losing to someone who got help to be accepted and not a grudge?
I'd feel a type of way no doubt. I do think it's disingenuous to say the Bulls needed help to win or needed outside help to beat them. The Bulls were the better team that season.

Sidenote...my fav quote from Rodman:
''They still haven`t proved anything,'' added Rodman. ''They`ve got to win about five or six championships before they`re a great team."

Bron stans are pathetic. They got an excuse for every player that claims Jordan's the greatest, but the ones that say he isn't are the obvious truth tellers.

If they played against jordan and say he's the GOAT (Hakeem, Nique, Barkley, Drexler, Bird, Magic, Reggie), bron stans say they're just saying that to boost themselves and their era up.

If they grew up watching mj, played against him and claim he's the GOAT (AI, KG, ray, kobe), bron stans say they were brainwashed and speaking from nostalgia.

If they played after mj and claim he's the GOAT (Wade, Zion, luka), they're also brainwashed.

But if they played against mj and claim bron is the GOAT, it's a completely unbiased take. Do you know how many legends get shytted on when they say mj could avg 50 a game in today's league? But Bill Cac ass Laimbeer? Gospel :dead:

Imagine if the only time you're seen playing basketball is in this clip:

You still talking about 2011. And I gave you that.

What about when he led the takedown of a 73 win team? Or does that no matter.

"Of his finals losses outside of 2011, when should have his teams won?" Is what you asked and I answered you :what:


Yes LeBron lead his team to a chip in 16 (thanks to Kyrie)

LeBron is top 10 but he's not better than Mike at the end of the day and he won't be

Mike, Laimbeer, and LeBron knows this

Yall keep saying the pistons shouldn't have a grudge cause they beat Mike

But the last time they played a series mike and the bulls swept them and they was so salty they walked off the court. Why wouldn't they hold a little grudge especially a dude who mike shytted on by name

They will probably never get over those wars. On BOTH sides by the way.. The Pistons made MJ into the monster he became. Everytime he would drive to the basket they would just slam him to floor

Its both sides...

LeBron is the goat to me. He would have won way more chips had the warriors not form an unbeatable teams with KD :manny:.

So unbeatable The Rockets had the opportunity to wrap the series in 6 before CP3 got hurt?

So unbeatable The Spurs were beating them in Arco worst than anyone ever had before Kawhi got hurt?
