Jordan had to have at least 1 other hall of fame player and coach to get to the finals, does anyone think he could have carried this team to a Finals appearance with this cast of players/coaches?

Jordan would have swept this Celtics team. #FactComment -
Obviously yes. He might not have even lost a playoff game vs this awful eastComment -
Against the dogshit cavs faced. Absolutely. Come the fukk on now.Comment -
Forum poppin tonightComment -
Would Jordan have faked a hate crime for an excuse to lose the finals?Comment -
If anyone else in the history of the nba could have willed this landfill to a finals, it wouldve been Jordan
No one elseComment -
No
James is the greatest player of all timesComment -
The East is a joke. League needs to ditch conferences so we can see the true #1 vs. #2. Western Finals are better than the real Finals this season.Comment -
Why are others on Cavs celebratiing?Comment -
40-40 with Jordan
Jordan did not have the physical body that James has to take the poundingComment -
Expect the refs to get whistle happy for LeBrick in the Finals to keep the score close. Without that they get blown out every game.Comment -
Overreacting
Look at the Celtics roster that was on the floor tonight.Comment -
Look who the Cavs beat to get there:
Pacers in 7. They don't have any great players.
Raptors in 4. Lowry/Derozan always been playoff chokers.
Celtics in 7. Celtics will be great in a couple years, but still too young.
I don't think getting to the Finals is that great of accomplishment in East. Cavs will get smoked in the Finals, so who cares?Comment -
Haters already have all the options available in the finals
Cavs lose and LBJ is a loser, lost to the only good team he played in the playoffs
W’s lose and the refs gave the finals to Lebron, and Curry sucks, Durant weak
Rockets lose and CP3 is a known loser, Harden never won anything, Cavs never faced a good playoff team
All coming from a bunch of guys that never accomplished anything more than being heard on sbrComment -
Lebron is the best ever. Sit back and appreciate greatness. Jordan wouldn’t sniff a title with the group Lebron carried this year.
You’re witnessing the greatest player you’ll ever see....appreciate it.Comment -
The only people saying LBJ is #2 or GOAT are the same people who don't know what Wilt, Kareem, Bird, Russell, or Magic's face even look like.Comment -
I never thought I'd hear Jordan being compared to any of these pretentious overpaid spoiled children. The reason LB will never be MJ is because of work ethic and competition. MJ came from a time when the stars actually showed up to practice (On Time too), stayed late, and watched footage. And then you have accept the fact the other teams of MJ's era were stacked. Does LB have they likes of L.Bird and C. Barkley gunning for him?Comment -
93-94 Bulls won 55 games and took the Knicks to 7. Without Jordan. Guy had some help or the East wasn't that strong back then.
Other teams stacked?? Like the Cavs that took Jordan and the Bulls to 6 games in 91-92 ECF? Never knew Price, Nance Sr and Daughtery were superstars! Knicks were Ewing and a bunch of chokers like Starks...Comment -
No . Jordan would play hero ball and would fail to put up 50Comment -
When people rate Jordan, it’s based on winning titles.
When people rate Lebron, it’s “he got out of the East”.....Witness.
The East sucks.
Lebron is about to be 3-6 in the Finals. Jordan was 6-0.
This isn’t even a debate.Comment -
stupid argument. like sayin that kyrie irving took the 2018 celtics to the eastern conf finals from the bench!
Comment -
Jordan wouldnt have gotten this Cavs team to the playoffsComment -
Yet this Cavs team was as talented as anyone in the East this year.....
Name a duo in the East better than James and Love.
its impressive to goto 8 straight finals but it’s not like the Cavs were playing world beaters in the East. Boston was missing their two best players and dominated the East.Comment -
This is probably true. Look at what Jordan did with his Bulls teams before Scottie Pippen arrived on the scene. Sure MJ would score a boatload of points, but his teammates were relegated to spectators while Jordan would just try to win games 1 on 5.
The difference is Lebron can elevate mediocre talent because he combines scoring prowess with a willingness to distribute the ball and get teammates involved. His elite court vision and ability to laser a pass with pinpoint precision from seemingly any angle and any distance on the floor is a large reason why Lebron's teams are greater than the sum of their parts.Comment -
Michael Jordan played all 82 regular season games at the age of 36.Comment -
If you put Jordan on that Heat team with Wade, Bosh, Etc. do you guys think he would have lost to the Dallas Mavericks and Spurs in the NBA Finals?
Hell no. Jordan would have went 4-0 with that Heat team.
You guys are over Heat comparing what Jordan did early in his career to what Lebron is doing late in his career. Lol.
I’m pretty sure Lebron wasn’t winning anything early on his career either.Comment
