Imagine if lebron didnt require the team hes joining not having to trade all there assets to win now, like putting together a team. Thats what the bulls did made a great team who did well when Jordan left. So imo that is better then leaving a dumpster fire of overpaid role players.
The NBA has changed. Players have significantly more influence on roster and coaching moves. I believe it is actually a testament that Lebron can produce 3 championships on three different teams. Proves he can deliver a championship in a multitude of team settings.Wizards were 26-21 when Jordan injured his knee. So on their way to the playoffs.
Good pointHe scored 51 points as 40 year old, next game casual 45. And with that 51 point game became the first and only player to score 50 points in 3 diffrent decades. No other player has even gotten 40.
What does this have to do with anything? Frankly he was not a value add at that point in his career and was an inefficient chucker going on a farewell tour who ranked 152th and 113rd in TS% among guards who played 20+mpg in those seasons. Sorry he was just plane bad, similar to Kobe's last year. Basically a player who had a negative impact on winning.
Wizards in 00/01 19-63
01/02 add Jordan. Are on 47 win pace, Jordan tears his meniscus still tries to play. He was gradully getting better
Last 20 games before injury.
27.5 ppg 6.4 rpg 5.2 apg 1.3 spg on 44%
Last 10 games before injury
29.7 ppg 6.6 rpg 6.1 apg 1.3 spg on 47%
Jordan gets injured they end up 37-45
So Jordan did add alot to a team
00/01 wizards 29th team defence
01/02 11th team defence
Lakers add Lbj go from 35-47 to 37-45.
But nice cherry picking ts%
