He was getting carried towards the end of his career. Bulls as a team are heavily underrated.

Who was carrying him? If it was that easy, why did the Bulls only make it to the ECF the one year he was gone?

Bron really also let AG get 29-15 in a must win game? Cmon now…


His body language has always been terrible, the way the throws his teammates under the bus has always been terrible, his comments on China are terrible, but the dude is perhaps the least terrible player of all time.

The level of dumb here is hard to comprehend. He had 5 of the 6 top scoring games in his final NBA MVP performance. JFC LOL BBQ. DIAFF.

Lakers beat every other team in the Western conference. They got unlucky with Nuggets first round.

This guy sounds like someone who is about to win back to back finals MVP. He is ultra competitive even though he has a persona of someone who is doesn’t care. He does all right. I honestly think he is a perfectionist which can be a negative. I foresee Denver wining several more championships. I could be wrong and the team might fall apart health wise. Fully healthy I can see a run.

No They didn't get unlucky with Nuggets, they and even I and even some other fans wanted Nuggets first round

Go Big OR Go Home even some of the players I think DLO was one (LOL) mentioned this.

On the bright side Lakers can start there firing of Ham and looking at trading players and deciding on where they want to go a little early this year :)

Listen I don't think Jordan was carried, but your post isn't the best example of what you're trying to portray :lol:

Nah 1998 was an all-time carry job at 35 years old. Pippen was injured and sick all playoffs and Rodman was getting old. That team was garbage outside Jordan and a declining Pippen. That final two plays by Jordan just defines GOAT - a bonafide two-way player

I didn''t say that he wasn't on a good team, but at the same time, they didn't win a championship without him,nhell, they didn't even make it to the finals without him. My point still stands.

The most casual argument in history.

Jordan didn't play six seasons, he played fifteen and was getting stomped in the East for a majority of them.

Swept in round one multiple times. A punching bag of the Pistons. 0-6 against Bird come playoff time.

To make the guy who couldn't win a playoff series or go .500 in the regular season without Pippen out to be some infallible "6-0!!!" giantslayer is just disingenuous. He didn't become a winner until he had a superteam around him and all of his competition retired out of the league.

At Lebron's current age, Jordan was decomposing into flesh and rot with a Wizards jersey on and piss yellow eyes miles out of the playoffs.

When I see LeBron at the bench Roger Murtaugh echoes in my head.
