"We lie about what Michael Jordan did and didn't do"

[Ghpstface]

He was basically the golden boy qb. If you touched him there was going to be a whistle 9/10 times which led to the creation of the Jordan rules. Let him get his points just stop everyone else because Jordan was untouchable.

That's not what the Jordan rules were

Take out the return from retirement season,the broken foot season and both wizards years = 9.1 fta's a game

866 games /7855 = 9.07 so jordan averaged 1 more fta than lebron during his bulls career which debunks the " jordan gets all the calls it's not even close" non sense

In the context of a career it's not as insignificant as you make it seem

Dudes like Jordan and Dantley had years where they got to the line 12 times a game that is insane.

The Bulls made it with 38 and 32 wins in 1985 and 1986. Cleveland missed with 35 and 42 wins in 2004 and 2005. That's more a product of expansion I think. Back then only 7 teams total missed the playoffs. Now it's 14 that misses.

whats a product of expansion?

whats a product of expansion?

Needing a higher win total to make it in. I can't recall seeing a 32 win team reach the playoffs in the last 15 years. The worst I can remember was the 37-45 2007-08 Hawks making it in.

I can really tell people's ages in here lol. Most didn't really watch mj early. He was the goat. They don't even know what the Jordan rules were

The lakers weren't beating the Bulls lol. Worthy missing game 5, it was over by then anyway. Only reason lakers got a win was Perkins hittin a shot lol

 

[Darth Nubian]

Mike is the undisputed GOAT. Only nikkas who disagree didn't see him play or are disgruntled Piston fans.

 

[Truefan31]

No they didn't worthy and scott got injured in game 4 they missed game 5 of the '91 finals

And it was over by then too

Revisionists trying to tear down mj, making up what the Jordan rules were too

 

[Truefan31]

They really think the Jordan rules were to let mj get whatever he wanted

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Anybody who grew up watching MJ knows he's the goat.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Back then 16 out of 23 teams made the playoffs. Was a lot harder to miss out. Chicago made it in with a 32-50 record in 1985-86. Cleveland missed out at I think 36-46 in 2003-04 with lebron. Not like either of those teams really had anyone good besides maybe Orlando Woolridge and old George Gervin.

that's true, but also remember by having less teams you have to play teams in your conference more so those bulls teams had to play teams like boston, philly, detroit, atlanta, 5-6 times a season vs 3 or 4 times today.

 

[Goat poster]

Why isn't he even mentioning 6/6 and 3/7 in the Finals

Why do we act like Jordan wasn't getting destroyed year after year in the first round and not even making it to the finals in his early 20's?

 

[Jplaya2023]

i know one thing, Lebron doesn't get the referee calls Jordan got. Not even close.

is that why their career FT attempts are nearly identical with lebron having .1 more attempts for his career?

lebron has had 3 season averaging 10+ free throws a game while jordan has 2 and another one where he shot 9.8

which led to the creation of the Jordan rules. Let him get his points just stop everyone else because Jordan was untouchable.

[Black_Panther_JS]

The fact that so many people won't even entertain the idea that maybe Jordan isn't the best ever says all you need to know about the ridiculous levels that people have propped him up to.

Facts
