OT: Michael Air Jordan

[11lavar]

Obviously Lebron isn’t done. I keep hearing that Lebron doesn’t have help to win championships. I think what kills Lebron is that he lost two championships with Wade and Bosh. The again, he did bring Cleveland a championship.

No. He was not going to lose with the refs in that era. Go watch his last finals against the Jazz. The Jazz had to play beyond perfection to beat the Bulls plus the refs. The refs literally waved off shots that went in for Utah, and whistled a foul almost any time MJ missed. The ‘98 Finals were the height of absurdity, with the only equal being Kings - Lakers

Remember the shellacking the Pistons gave him early on?

Yes indeed. But his first 3 titles were the real deal.

After he came back from retirement it was silly season, with ‘98 being the most ridiculous. Even before the finals tre Pacers had him on the ropes but there was no way the Pacers would be allowed to win Game 7

It's on the internet soooooo......

LOL. I don't think it's real. Michael Jordan doesn't have a twitter account as far as I know.

Some of my favorite moments in NBA history...

The obviously fake draft that gave Ewing to the Knicks

The LJ four point play (when I stopped following basketball) to advance the 8 seed Knicks against the Pacers

The Trailblazers vs. Lakers series that Pippen's Blazers effectively won but some random calls later the Lakers (Shaq and Kobe) won.

The officiating in the NBA is a joke designed to get certain teams to the finals. Happens every year.

One of the most ridiculous calls in history, IMO.
