They are interesting statistics...
I would argue Lebron's number is at least slightly deflated due to most of the best FAs during his run of finals either went to the Western conference or stayed in the West to avoid him. |

Yes, Lebron teamed up with two other previous established All Stars. Jordan helped create one. To your third point, of course they wouldn’t. I mean, it’s not like Wade had ever made an NBA Finals prior to Lebron arriving . . . . . |

Winning is the only stat that matters?
Okay. So why isn't Bill Russell the GOAT, then? |

Kobe backer purposely grabbed an image from three years ago that also ignores the 3 50 win quality teams the Heat beat in 2011-2012 lockout season (Pacers, Celtics, Thunder). He’d be at 13 (and 14 on Monday after the Raptors go down). Not that anybody was disputing the strength of the East relative to the West over much of the past decade plus anyway.

Yes Jordan lost several first round playoff series (3 to be exact which were the first 3 of his career) but he also never missed the playoffs until he went to the Wizards at the very end of his career. Lebron missed the playoffs the first couple of years of his career.
As far as this idea that Jordan had a super team. Well sure but it was all drafted and not built through FA and players colluding with one another. Also just to remind people Rodman was traded to the Bulls from the Spurs for Will Perdue. This chart says it all. Percentage of positive team VORP contributed from players acquired by the draft for each NBA champion, 1980-2016. Last edited by dirk digler; 05-06-2018 at 05:50 PM.. |
