As for the teams Jordan and LeBron faced … we covered this a couple years ago, and nothing’s changed: LeBron’s faced much better teams in the Finals than Michael Jordan. That’s undeniable

The arrogance of these nerds breh

Of the last 62 teams that have reached the NBA Finals, the supporting casts Lebron has had rank as three of the eight worst. This is in stark contrast to Michael Jordan, whose supporting casts were three of the top six best to reach the Finals dating back to 1985.

You could probably go through a slew of metrics and come to the same conclusions – the 2007 Cavs supporting cast that LeBron carried to the Finals was the 2nd worst to play for the Title since 1985. Cleveland was swept by the San Antonio Spurs.

This year’s Cavs? The 3rd worst supporting cast. Stephen Curry has an impressive supporting cast of Warriors: they rank 14th best. Vegas knows this is a mismatch. Only morons are picking the Cavs.

Guess which supporting cast was ranked 55th out of 62? The Heat’s 2014 supporting cast, which LeBron dragged to the Finals, only to get drubbed by the Spurs.

(The worst supporting cast to get to the Finals? The 1999 New York Knicks, where Larry Johnson – ? – was deemed the best player over Allan Houston, 36-year old Patrick Ewing, and Latrell Sprewell.)

|The supporting cast ranks for LeBron’s vs Jordan’s:



LeBron :

2011 (10th vs Mavs, 58th)
2012 (21st vs Thunder, 25th)
2013 (39th vs Spurs, 2nd)
2014 (55th vs Spurs, 7th)
2015 (60th vs Warriors, 14th)
2007 (61st vs Spurs, 11th)



Michael Jordan:

1996 (1st vs Sonics, 3rd)
1998 (5th vs Jazz, 52nd)
1997 (6th vs Jazz, 29th)
1992 (24th vs Blazers, 27th)
1993 (49th vs Suns, 26th)
1991 (53rd vs Lakers, 31st)

Summary: LeBron has had one very good supporting cast, two OK supporting casts, and three really, really bad ones. Jordan had three great supporting casts, two OK supporting casts, and one really bad one.

Your title says in the finals, in the finals. All the teams Jordan faced would crush the teams Lebron LOST TO.

Jordan's teams were not DEEP like that. Jordan was so good, you just had to play within the offense and he would take care of the rest. Players the bulls would land often would be players nobody else was checking for like that. Not the case with Lebron, even if they end up not panning out.

I agree Lebron has had shytty teams, but I was there and I'm here now. Lebron had the easiest route to the finals in most of those years. This year is ridiculous how easy its been. The one thing your "stats" show is Lebron losing. If Lebron wins the finals this year, he's on Jordan's level. When he gets swept, he won't be :mjez:
