OK, but you're kind of on your own island here. I'm sure you don't care, you can dismiss everyone else's opinion as much as you like. But really good basketball people, players, coaches, analysts....they all disagree with you.

I'm comfortable with that.

Clearly. But, it doesn't help your case.

Most of those people have a vested interest to promote a certain narrative in support of the business that gives them income to pay their bills so why should I care about their opinion, it isn't exactly impartial.

I don't care what you care about. You're simply wrong.

Trolling aside, I would like an MJ fan explain to me how Pippen won 2 less game when Jordan left to play basketball with essentially the same team.

I believe Pippen to be underrated historically. I also believe Jordan gets far too much credit for 6-0 in the Finals.

That said, you are out of your mind.

The Bulls were still a solid team without Jordan. They were unbeatable (in that era) with him. and regardless of the regular season record, they did win 9 fewer playoff games. That probably matters a bit more.

And you aren't at all biased?

I like having them around though. Way too boring if it's just the same crowd.

True, as long as they're entertaining. But them fucking up threads with pages and pages of nonsense and trolling also gets boring.

The 94 Bulls team lost to NY, who went on to the finals that year taking the Rockets to 7 games, because of a controversial foul on a shot by Hubert Davis. The Bulls get that call and they most likely win that series and conceivably make it to the finals. When you throw context into it, that team wasn't that far off from Jordan's team even in the playoffs. Of course, you probably didn't remember that game because you were 2 years old.

Look on the bright side - they have proven that it is possible for a jackass to talk to his master as described in the bible:pound:
