Why has Jordan's supporting casts gotten so overrated?

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

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

They were great. Not saying they weren't but they were not as talented as:

Shaq/Kobe Lakers
All of Bron's championship teams
80s Lakers and Celtics
Early 80s 76ers

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

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

Solid comparison

They also added Kucoc in 94

We gonna act like Dennis Rodman isnt a 5 time NBA champion and 7 time rebounding champ and 7 time All defensive 1st team selection?

Dennis rodman is essentially the greatest role player ever

No one would even consider trying to build a team around him like Kyrie,Love, Bosh, and Wade

 

[Mad Good Dro]

The bulls were going to beat them regarless.

They weren’t “stacked” when they had multiple injuries.

You should look up the lineups Jordan faced.


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

Another dumbass take.

92, 93, 96, 97 were great teams

And of course as usual y'all dismissed the east being tougher

Not only that but Toni was 6th man of the year in 96.

He is even a border line naismith HOF based on his Fiba career and NBA career.

Because of team success

He average like 10-12 ppg

Not trying to derail, but went to watch Jordan highlight s a few days ago.

That 1991 season was all Jordan:

Those highlights against the nets at around 4:30 is from 1 game?

 

[The Midnight Marauder]

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.

That team that won 55 without him had 3 All Stars that year (Pippen, Horace Grant and BJ Armstrong). They also added Kukoc and Kerr.

That '95 team he came back to had been .500 ball and teetering around the 7th and 8th spot in the east til Jordan came back and got them up to 5th. Nobody was expecting them to knock Orlando off that year.

Dennis rodman is essentially the greatest role player ever

Role players don’t get in the Hall Of Fame.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Role players don’t get in the Hall Of Fame.

Obviously not true because he did

Would anyone build a team around Rodman?

 

[Biscayne]

How can ppl make the argument that LeBron faced stiffer competition than MJ, and that MJ played against a bunch of unathletic CAC's, without acknowledging that MJ had those same unathletic cacs on his team too. If you acknowledge that LeBron had to face stiffer competition(which I somewhat agree with) you'd also have to consider that LeBrons teams and supporting cast were also collectively more talented and athletic than Jordans.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

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.

No he wasn't

He just had an incredible skill. Did it extremely well
