So we re-writing history now breh?
1985:
Jordan's rookie season he led the Bulls to the playoffs with a 38-44 record
That team also did not have George Gervin OR Charles Oakley on the team. The top 8 players on that team, including Jordan, averaged 24.8 years of age and only 3 years in the NBA
However, they did have 25 year old, 6'9 SF Orlando Woolridge averaging 22.9 ppg on 55.4% from the field and and 24 year old, Quintin Dailey averaging 16 ppg in 26 minutes off the bench.
Jordan led his team to 1 victory in the 1st round series and was sent fishing
1986:
Jordan only played 18 games (the team went 9-9 when he played) and the team made the playoffs with a DISGUSTING 30-52 record
Orlando Wooldridge put up 20.7 ppg on 49.5% FG, George Gervin WAS on the team at this time and averaged 16.2 ppg in 25.2 minutes, and Charles Oakley was FARRRRRR from flabby and sick being that he was a rookie. He gave 9.6 ppg and 8.6 rpg in only 23 minutes.
Jordan was swept out of the playoffs in the 1st round this time
1987:
Jordan led the team to the playoffs with ANOTHER sub .500 record of 40-42
He averaged 28 shots per game that season on route to scoring 37 ppg. Second leading scorer on the team was 2nd year player, 23 year old Charles "Who You Calling Flabby And Sick Breh?" Oakley putting up 14.5 ppg and 13.1 rebs....including 20 ppg and 15.3 rebs a game in the playoffs.
Once again, Jordan was swept out of the playoffs
As a matter of fact, in the games that Michael Jordan has played, he's never had a WINNING RECORD WITHOUT SCOTTIE PIPPEN
1985: 38-44 (1-3 in the playoffs)
1986: 9-9 (0-3 in the playoffs)
1987: 40-42 (0-3 in the playoffs)
2002: 30-30 (Didnt make the playoffs)
2003: 37-45 (Didnt make the playoffs)
Career total record without Scottie? 154-170 (1-9 in the playoffs)
And THAT is your GAWD?
