i will say that it will give lebron a legitimate "gotcha" point. he'll take a so-so team and not only win a title, but beat a historically good team (with home court advantage). that is something jordan never did (he won titles with the most talented team every time he won a title)




and is that because he's the most talented player or are you saying his roster was more loaded than the 91 Lakers,92 Blazers,93 Suns, 96 Sonics 97-98 Jazz

I'm gonna go out on a limb and says it's because the team was loaded. I know it's brought up all the time, but I don't think people pay any attention to it. 55 games. They won 55 games without him, swept the Cavs, and took the Knicks to game 7.

Now add Michael GOAT Jordan to that team. Dammit they're gonna win everything. Put Lebron on a similar team and they're winning everything as well.

absolutely.

91 Lakers had big names, but they were not the same team they were in the decade previous.

Pippen was also the 3rd or 4th best player in the NBA throughout this run as well.

The second 3 peat featured the most talented team ever.

Take Jordan off those teams and they still are title contenders. Not locks, but certainly in the upper echelon of talent in the league. I don't see how that is debatable.

Without MJ they were a 55 win team that almost made the conference finals. That is freaking legit
