maybe do 2016 cavs now? Not the same age but best team vs best team.
Alright series on Bulls get home court again.
Game 5 Cavs @ Bulls
Bulls win 112-105, win series 4-1
Lebron 23, 8 and 5, 3-4 fts
Kyrie 25 and 6 assists
Jordan 38 pts, 13-30 fg, 11-13 fts
Pippen 17, 7, and 9
Rodman 11 pts, 20 reb
Kukoc 20 pts, 9-13 fg
No way was MJ not closing this one out at home, he demanded Phil to play the entire 4th saying I'm emptying my tank tonight, he demanded the ball and told Kukoc to step the up and he would find him.

It’s astounding watching the Lakers take 3.5 minutes to figure out this Miami zone. It took Brad Stevens 3.5 games to do the same.
MJ never got to be a GM till he bought a team.

Giannis did
This is actually an excellent point @superjohn LBJ for all his shortcoming-straws you grasp for, as bad a “GM” LBJ has been as you claim, he’s still way more successful managing a team than MJ has lmao

I will say that Charlotte roster is worse than an expansion team.
It’s impossibly bad.
Jerry Krause was a nasty GM who put together nasty teams with MJ as the centerpiece. LeBron is a travelling franchise who put his trust in JR Smith.
LeBron can attract free agents, the Hornets can't, so far. With the way Charlotte is growing, that can change.

The difference between an nba team and a college team attacking a zone is night and day.
Much easier when you're passing over Olynyk instead of Adebayo. Also easier when you have Anthony Davis on the baseline to dunk instead of Daniel Theis.

"The pure hate of LBJ as a person."
Why do people "hate" Lebron as a "person"?
And I missed this gem:
"Blinding you to the fact that LBJ is 50 pounds lighter and 6 inches shorter than Shaq but is reffed the same."
Shaq committed an offensive foul in the majority of times he backed someone down in the post. Not a real good comparison.

Shaq was fouled on almost literally every possession.

Literally I was going to say the same thing, but my verbose ass would have typed for 15 minutes.
People think they're brilliant and know more than Brad Stevens, I'm sure he didn't know what to do against the basic zone!
