The last time I was at the Finals, Michael Jordan was playing Gary Payton," Obama told Wilbon. "I was actually telling some young people, and I said, 'Payton actually was one of those guys who could guard Jordan.'"

"You look at Michael's percentages in the Finals ... He got the points, but he took a lot of shots. He looked more Kobe-esque."

Obama's not wrong here. MJ shot 41 and 31 percent (overall, 3) vs Payton.

Kobe had some rough finals, like 40 and 32% vs the Celts the first time and 40 and 31% the second time vs the Celts. Or 43 and 36% vs the Magic.

Or his worst, 38% and 17% gs the Pistons.

To be fair...I'm a Giants fan, and I can't name my favorite Giants player, because they're all terrible

Jordan's first 3 Finals before he went off to play baseball:

He averaged 36.2 points, (on 52.6% shooting from the field, including 42.1% from three), 7.9 assists, 6.7 rebounds, & 2 steals a game while playing an average of 44 minutes

So inefficient

I know yall tiki torchers love to hate Obama but at least get the quote right. He's discussing when Jordan was matched on Payton. It literally leads with that.

Pretty Kobe-esque President, in that he missed most of his shots, too.

I can’t believe it took Sonics coach George Karl 3 games before he decided to put Payton on Jordan. Jordan’s worst finals by far was 1996.
