Was looking at Jordan's numbers in the NBA finals in his first 3 peat and it's amazing how well Michael jordan performed in the NBA finals


1991 NBA finals
Jordan: 31.2 ppg, 11.4 apg, 6.6 rpg, 2.8 spg, 1.4 bpg (3.6 TO) on 56%FG and 50%3P

1992 NBA finals
Jordan: 35.8 ppg, 6.5 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.7 spg, 0.3 bpg on 52.6 %FG and 43% 3P

1993 NBA finals
Jordan: 41.0 ppg, 6.3 apg, 8.5 rpg, 1.7 spg, 0.7 bpg on 50.8% FG and 40% 3P

I agree.

I don't know the exact numbers, but I'm sure D Wade's numbers from the final were just as good.

LeBron has the capability of sustaining it for an extended period of time but this year I don't think he'll have the super high point totals as other around him will score more.

Orlando series last year (6 games):
38.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8 assists, 1.16 steals and blocks, 48% FG

Obviously the Cavaliers lost, but if they win the title you'll see his PPG decrease to around his norm of 28-30. He may be able to get the 8 and 8 with assists/rebounds but I don't think he'll score near Jordan's totals of 35 or 41 PPG.

Jordan is just lucky he didn't have to play in the era of Lebron James, because those 6 MVP's and 6 rings would be non-existent. He'd never get out of the East, and you can take that to the bank.

Lebron James 6'8" 260

Micheal Jordan 6'6" 198

Who'd be eating who? Like I said, Jordan would have to match up against one hell of a freak of nature, and he'd be whining and complaining the whole game lamenting for the old days when he got to play against slow white players.

For the recored Pippen is 6'8, 228 lbs (not as big as LBJ but bigger than Jordan). He had very long arms and played guard in college. He had a growth spurt after his first year in school going from 6'1 to 6'8. He was the Bulls primary defensive stopper, being only one of three NBA player ever to record 200 steals and block 100 shots in a season. He was a 10 time NBA All-Defensive Team winner.

I'd love to see Pippen try to guard one of the all time freakish athletes in NBA history. I mean that's assuming he'd even be there after Jordan throws the whole team under the bus.

LeBron is probably bigger than 260 even though he is only listed at 250.

There has been talks since last year trying to guess his weight, with many Cavs sources saying around 265.
