FYI, Jordan played in 13 elimination games and LBJ's numbers are better in every category.
That was a different time and different league. Jordan won his championships without other superstars on the team. Can't do that now.
Yeah Pippen and Rodman were no good. And Phil Jackson coaching was just garbage. And all the 3 point bombers they had were horrible. You are right. He was all on his own.
Anyone who doesn't think Pippen wasn't great is clueless. That guy was like a poor-man's Lebron... great defender, passer, dunker, and passer... revisionist history buffs
Pippen was one of the greates players of his era. Scoring, defense, passing, even a little rebounding. Rodman was one of the best rebounders of his era. Horace Grant was very good before him. They had plenty of guys bombing 3's who were good. Phil Jackson - enough said.
He didn't do it alone. He was on an enormously talented team.
I'd say a healthy Scottie Pippen in his day is more help than a limping around Dwayne Wade.
