Yes, the Bulls and Jazz in 1997 had nearly identical statistics - very evenly matched. The Jazz don't get enough credit, and they're always viewed as weak competition by people who didn't watch them play. The pick-and-roll alone is a basic basketball play, but they picked teams apart with it.

that Jazz team is often considered one of the greatest teams that didn't win a ring

[@roscoeorginal]

The Pick and roll was eventually what killed them in the finals. Everyone and their mother knew the Jazz play because it’s just a pick and roll between Stockton and Malone. Theres a reason why MJ stole the ball nearing the end of the elimination game against the Jazz in the finals, everyone knew the play.

[@hakeemolajuwon4352]

@@roscoeorginal that's not what killed the Jazz, it was John Stockton not being to penetrate the defense by driving and kicking, and by the Bulls stopping the run game of the Jazz by controlling the boards and pressing the ball in quarters 1 and 3. Go look at the way Stockton was able to drive and kick during the playoffs, the dude was a nuisance. Then with the long armed defenders of the Bulls Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman with big ol' 7'2 Longley waiting at the rim, he was pretty much one dimensional

[@roscoeorginal]

The bubble title was hard in that many of the players found it hard to take it seriously. LeBron seems to thrive best when the stakes aren't as high. If there was an actual crowd there, things would likely have been different. Also, I've always been under the contention that the Warriors team that he loves to brag about beating was a) not near as good as they are made out to be and b) ran out of gas after beating OKC. This is ultimately why they picked up KD. I just can't see the former record holding Bulls add Karl Malone or Shaq to the team just because they were available. The Warriors adding KD had more to do with Steph and Klay coming up small in big time situations than them being so afraid of LeBron.

[@jordanjenkins1671]

Not to mention the oddity of the situation in HOW Draymond was suspended, and Curry was actually coming up big in game 6 and that was when the refs kept giving him phantom foul calls and fouled him out of the game. Ayesha Curry went viral that day on Twitter for saying the Finals were rigged. Also one of their critical role players, Andrew Bogut, missed the last few games to injury and he was their primary rim protector. That's when LeBron and Kyrie both went off for 40 points.

[@jordanjenkins1671]

Personally I think the Warriors were as good as we thought them to be. Else they wouldn't have been up 3-1 in the Finals. Sure they were probably tired after that 7 game series and 3-1 comeback against OKC, but I'm sure Detroit was tired after their 7-game ECF matchup with Chicago in 1990 but they still won the Finals that year. It's simply just the Cavaliers became emboldened because so many dominoes fell right for them and Warriors momentum was cut off and prevented from being revived.

Jordan played 6 weeks of basketball before even starting that series with the Magic in 95', then the Magic eliminated the Bulls that series. Olajuwon never had the opportunity to play Jordan in the Finals, but by the time Jordan retired the first time Olajuwon was 11-5 against Jordan and by the time they're careers were over, Olajuwon was 13-10 against Jordan. To put it into perspective, Olajuwon beat Jordan more times in 9 seasons than Jordan beat Olajuwon in 13 seasons

Those who criticize MJ's opponents, what is there knowledge of that era? Use the Sonics as an example. Do they realize that they had six seasons of 60 wins then. In 95-96 they had 3 home losses by 5 points in a combined total. They had 3 all stars Detlef,GP and Kemp. Nate McMillian who made an all defensive team off the bench. Hawkins who made an all star team in career along with stretch 5 in Perkins

[@hakeemolajuwon4352]

Even their center in 96' was a solid rim protector, plus they had a tough guy coming off the bench Brickowski who was usually a solid rebounder. That 96' Sonics team was one of the best defensive teams I've ever seen in my life

What drives me crazy is that the Lakers, or at least LeBron, had it easier because they got a big break in the middle of the season to rest and recover which helps LeBron more than other players due to him being 35 at the time.

If LeBron wants to throw out hot takes, here's one for him: If you put LeBron in the 80's and 90's, he'd be Karl Malone. They're similar in size, neither has a handle. LeBron would be called for traveling 20 times in his first game, with all of those 5 step "euro steps" and foot shuffling back downs in the paint. He'd also get called for offensive fouls when he rams dudes in the paint. After that, he'd have to adjust his game and would be lucky to average 20. He'd have to be used in pick and roll like Karl Malone. Nevermind the slower pace back then, with hand checking and clogged paints with big 7 footers. In the 90's, you needed moves and a handle, or you had to play like a big man.

LeBron freezes and chokes in front of fans. dont allow fans in stadium 3. older teams need rest. make sure Lakers get 5 months rest before tournament even starts 4. have Finals opponent be a 44-29 win team (not even a 50 win team) and have 2nd best player on Heat injured entire series (Bam Abadayo) "wow!! that makes Lakers 2020 championship THE HARDEST WIN OF ALL TIME !!!" or maybe - just another RIGGED championship for a fake goat

The only real argument against the bubble chip is the fact that the more "injury proned" players had a chance to rest up. The competition argument is pretty weak sauce tbh. As the Lakers cant control who they play. The Clippers(who everyone expected to meet the lakers in the west finals) blew a 3-1 lead vs The Nuggets. And the bucks who were supposed to be the team to beat in the eastern conference got demolished by the Heat. Was the bubble chip the toughest one ever? In my opinion, not so much. But if the players says it was tough for them, then I'll take their word for it. Even if they may be embellishing ever so slightly lol.
