I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of Jordan shit tonight and this combo of stats blew my mind.
He’s never been a point guard for an extended time. I know he played point guard at the end of a season and racked up 10 triple doubles out of 11 games. Out of his decently lengthy career he’s barely done it but… he still put up 11+ assists a game in a finals and only 2 other players in history have done this. Both point guards their whole careers(Cousey and Magic).
Then 2 finals later he sets the finals ppg record at 41 points.
Both of these have not been broken since those years 30-32 years ago.
Bonus: he set the playoff scoring total record in the playoffs in the year between those. That hasn’t been broken either
He won all 3 years to support the awesomeness even further
Dafuq was this dude on???
Every time MJ or LeBron comes up the only thing I think is that these nephews have no fucking idea what they’re talking about.
Anyone who saw both play is taking the same guy every time, unless they’re on TV. It’s not a knock on LBJ, MJ was just that good. And an intensity and will to win that LBJ has never even sniffed.
LBJ vs MJ is peak athletic condition VS peak althetic condition plus an indomitable will to win. Sure AF didn’t lose no finals
