Jordan couldn’t beat the Pistons until they were old and washed.Nah, players were saying he was the best and on another level but to the media the narrative was he had to win a title.
Don't forget the narrative was that he couldn't win playing the way he played.
The East had The Ewing Knicks, Bad Boy Pistons, Miller /Smits' Pacers, Brad/Price's Cavs...
Then in the Finals he had to face Magic's Lakers, the Blazers with Clyde, Barkley's Suns, the Sonics with Payton and Kemp, the Jazz with Stockton/ Malone...
He didn't have an easy path and the comp was tough.
The Knicks had Patrick Ewing. The Raptors had no one of that caliber. Lebron also played the Hawks, the Wizards, the Bulls, and no one of merit. Dude also lost to Dwight Howard. If you're counting an old ass Spurs team in which Tony Parker was the best player, and old ass Cs team, then you have to give credit to others as well.Jordan couldn’t beat the Pistons until they were old and washed.
That Knicks team was basically Jordan’s version of the Raptors. Had some strong years and even won 60 games one year but were always food in the playoffs. Except Jordan is praised for beating them while LeBron is slandered for “weak comp.”
I won’t even dignify the Pacers and Cavs with a real response. nikka really said Mark Price and Brad Daugherty. You 90s nikkas are shameless
You put any of those teams in a Time Machine to the 2010s and you’re slandering them as “leastern conference fodder” that gives Bron an easy path.
I won’t even speak on his finals competition because only a brain dead idiot could possibly think MJ played harder finals comp. The KD warriors, 2016 Warriors, and those Spurs squads with Kawhi are dog walking every single team Jordan faced. shyt the Baby Thunder too.
Le-xplanation on why ya mans is 4*-6 in the finals. Y’all should be aiming for top 5 all time instead of trying to reach the goat level.Jordan couldn’t beat the Pistons until they were old and washed.

For the 1s that do give him credit there are probably 100x's more that discredit him for getting there and losing. Thats why 4-6 is such a big talking point for so many people. And that in itself is wild. They dont discredit MJ for only making it 6 times. And also what you accomplished with no help is just as important if not more important than what you accomplished when you were on teams that were head and shoulders above the rest of the league and had the GOAT coach to top it off. And it doesnt matter how you look doing something. lmao @ "its aesthetically pleasing" thats the most bullshyt talking point they use for MJ. 2 points is 2 points it dont matter if you bulldozed your way to the paint and laid it up or if you did a post up fade away middy its still 2 fukking points.
