Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2699181, member: 56"] The relative level of competition has to matter. If you are playing nobodies, then beating them should be expected. The 7 years of 100+ games thing is very impressive, no doubt. Wasn't trying to take away from that. But it's not like the teams he was on were always junk. He was on a couple bad teams, but the overall talent on his team was usually better than the rest of the East. I mean, Wade/Bosch/LeBron was a shoe-in for the Finals. Jordan went to six straight (that he played in). If he hadn't had his hiatus, maybe he goes to eight straight. Why knows? It's a what if. Not sure the plugin argument holds much water, as the game was totally different. The 3pt shot wasn't as important, and consequently, MJ didn't develop it like he probably would have otherwise. Along a bunch of other examples. Really is two distinct eras. [/QUOTE]
