@Lamar Stewart I mean i'd consider myself a jordan fan but i don't really think it's a big deal. He came back after playing a different sport for a year and a half and he messed up. Overall had a performance that wasn't good enough to win. His stats were still great but his faults that series were in the details. But then he came back and led the Bulls to their second 3-peat with an entirely new roster aside from Pippen so to say he "made up for it" in my opinion is a massive understatement
@BT4052 жыл бұрын
@Lamar Stewart Based on this response it seems to me like you're the kinda person who gets a strange kick out of diminishing MJ for whatever reason. But I'll break it down for you anyway even if you don't bother reading it. Yes, you don't win 72 games without a great team. 1996 was a primetime for all of those guys. Jordan and Pippen BOTH made 1st team All-NBA, and them plus Rodman all made 1st team All-defense. Jordan was 6th in DPOY and Rodman was 7th. So it's not like Pippen just carried Jordan defensively. Their overall team defense was elite as they were built around that. Jordan was the main offensive engine and Pippen helped facilitate. But pretty much the whole team was good defensively. I will point out though that Rodman did miss 20 games that season, so that's a lot of time not having that league leading rebounder, and they went 15-3 without him. Since we're acting like Jordan didn't lead anything I'll point out that Pippen was less efficient across the board than Jordan. Kukoc shot 40% from 3 yet still had a lower 3-point percentage than Jordan. They were 11th in 3-pointers per game but 3rd in percentage, and Jordan contributed to that as well. They whole team played their parts pretty much perfectly that year, but are you saying that the best player on the team isn't allowed to have help? Jordan had double the offensive win-shares of Pippen, and more defensive win-shares. He led the league in ws/48, so yes he did "lead" them. Just because they played well doesn't mean he didn't lead them. Isn't a leader supposed to make his team (and teammates) better? When it comes to the Finals, yeah it's Jordan's worst, but are we gonna act like 27-5-4 on 42% with good defense is some terrible performance? Look at how everyone else on the Bulls played against that Sonic defense. Pretty much everyone played way worse than they usually do. The average TEAM FG% against the Sonics that playoffs was 43%. There's context to this.
@MR.__G2 жыл бұрын
@Lamar Stewart losses do happen. It’s apart of the game. The best part about that loss is how the bulls answered back. The bulls w Jordan lost 2 playoff series in the 90s (Pistons,Magic’s) & they responded with a 3 peat both times.
@MR.__G2 жыл бұрын
@Lamar Stewart 89-90 season goes into the 90s. That’s the year they lost to the Pistons in game 7. So I repeat after each series loss in the 90s he responded by leading a 3 peat. He played in 8 playoff series in the 90s (90,91,92,93,95,96,97,98) thats 80% of the post season… 27-2 in playoff series & never lost more than 2 games in a row when he was on the team during the 90s.

@@terencethomas7891 Why? Horace was a key factor to improve every single team he was on: Bulls, Magic and Lakers. Without him these teams probably wouldn’t have won nearly as much. He did more than just scoring and was efficient guarding bigs. It’s unbelievable how most Michael Jordan fans still don’t understand that basketball is a team game.

Like Bill, I do agree that the Bulls would win against the Magic in the ECF anyway in 1996. However, people do forget or don't know that the Magic players began to go down w/ injuries that series. Horace didn't finish Game 1 as he mentioned and would go on to miss the rest of the series, while Brian Shaw (2nd in APG on the team) only played the first 2 games. Nick Anderson (4th in PPG, 2nd best 3-Point Shooter, 3rd in RPG, and 3rd in APG) also didn't play Game 4 in that series. I know some people are already thinking that the Bulls blew out the Magic in Game 1 when everyone was healthy but I believe the Magic could've won 1 or 2 games if everyone was completely healthy.

@@ThaRealERAQ Do you have any common sense? They won a playoff series prior to that. 🙄 The difference was the Hornets were undersized (with the exception of Mourning) compared to the Magic who were a bigger team overall. The fact you're saying it didn't matter who was at PF clearly tells me you don't know a thing about the game, if it didn't matter why did they want to get Rodman afterwards instead of keeping Kukoc at that position? It takes a team effort to win no one can do it single handedly.
