Michael Jordan NEVER lost a playoff series as the favorite!!

Let that marinate for a minute. He also never lost with home court advantage.

This is why he's GOAT.



Only Bill Russel could say this.

You'd be surprised how many people think the Bulls were favored to beat Orlando in '95, I hear it all the time, the funny shyt is not only were they underdogs against the Magic that year, they were also underdogs to Charlotte in the first round, IIRC.

lol the bulls won 47 games that year including being 13-4 when jordan came back. Orlando was the heavy favorite to come out the east.

Lol @ the bulls being the favorite.

Its crazy how many times I've heard it tho, same with the whole "Pip went to the conference finals without Jordan" myth, shyt is funny to me.

Comparing any of these new nikkaz to MJ is blasphemy, straight up. There's MJ, and then there's everybody else.

Yeah, that Bulls team was a mess by '95...To add, I dont think people give Rodman the credit he deserves for those post-comeback, Jordan championships. Rodman's skill set, ability to impact the game w/o needing the ball, and his crazy antics taking most of the spotlight and pressure off Jordan was the perfect compliment for that squad. I think you can make a strong case that the Bulls dont win those three rings w/o him.

The bulls lost in 95' because they had no PF and were getting murdered on the boards by Orlando. That's why they got Rodman in the first place

Yep, they really needed a replacement for Horace Grant, and the Spurs were kind enough to give the Bulls Rodman who not just a replacement but an upgrade over Grant.

Yep....Rodman, in effect, replaced Horace Grant who was vital to those earlier chips
