Why has Jordan's supporting casts gotten so overrated?

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Is it simply because they won that now everyone thinks Jordan had this ridiculous team around him?

Keep in mind Jordan only played with one all-star and two consistent shot creaters his entire career in CHicago. One was Woolridge in his first 2 years.

Won 55 games without him playing a single second. Left his team out to dry while leaving while under contract. Came back to win a cheap ring and was promptly dismissed by Orlando.

More like underrated... Cats act like Scottie was Stromile Swift and shyt.

Nah I'm definitely someone on here who would argue to the death that mj was better than lebron...but that 2nd 3 peat team was stacked. Not stacked like GS...but that MJ,Pippen,Rodman, Kucok,Harper,Kerr etc was a talented group

 

[ManBearPig]

Pippen and Rodman HOFers and Toni kukoc good

 

[HabitualChiller]

1. Went to the Conference Finals(?) the season after his 1st retirement
2. Hit big shots when asked to do so. Great supporting casts do this.

Edit: That's all I got. A nikka been up since 3AM finding the perfect porn scene so excuse me

94 Bulls were kinda like the 2018 Celtics; defensive-minded, well-coached team with good players that were good enough to lead them deep in the playoffs but ultimately missed their superstar leaders

“Only two players that can create a shot”

You say that like the Bulls didn’t have arguably the two best two way players in the 90s.


Numbers and names don’t always tell the story. Players don’t have to put up crazy numbers to fit championship roles.

 

[Billy Ocean]

Dudes always bring up Pippen but Dennis Rodman was one of the most talented basketball players from that generation and never gets the credit for it.

 

[Stuntone]

Luc Longely (7'2 290lb) would be the Cavs second best player in 2018.

to prop up lebron

Pippen did a better job on Magic in the 1991 finals, Pippen also outscored Jordan in the closeout game.....


Pippen led the comeback in game 6 of the 1992 finals .......while MJ was on the bench, let it be someone else all you'd hear is he got "saved"

They were good role players that made up a great team at the time. Can't judge them with today's eyes. If you pluck those guys as is into this era some of them ain't seeing the court because of the changes in style and athleticism today.

 

[Stuntone]

You should look up the lineups Jordan faced.


Jordan was matching up against the likes of Shannon Anderson, Bryan Russell and Jeff Hornacek.

like the league was filled with "players that can create shots" back then...he pretty much inspired that generation..him and allen iverson
