May? The only franchise that’s done it is the Celtics, with 10, and that was when you weren’t “allowed” having 3 black players on a team.

The second most consecutive finals appearances bt a franchise is the warriors with 5, who played LeBron 4 of those times lol.

Ain’t nobody doing that again. Had he stayed in Miami they wouldn’t have been able to do it I don’t think. It took a GOAT + specific circumstances to make it happen.

True but the first two rounds used to be BO5

Our current second round used to be the first round and it was best of 5 until 1967-1968, when it was expanded to best of 7. When the next round was added in 1984 (MJ’s rookie season), it was best of 5 until 2003. So there wasn’t a time when both the first two rounds of the playoffs were best of 5

In 2024, NBA players were asked who was the GOAT? Since 2023’s … Michael Jordan was voted the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) by over 70% of NBA players in a 2019 poll, maintaining high esteem among peers, although more recent surveys indicate the gap is narrowing. While older polls showed 73% support, 2024 survey data showed Jordan at 47% compared to 43% for LeBron James

Why is it nonesense? Why is basketball the only sport that players haven’t gotten better in 30 years? The modern game is soooo different from the 90s. So much faster, so much more complex, so many deep rosters.

Wrong comment but still point stands. Jordan was legitimately bad post illegal defense change. His style of play died in the early 2000s.

Striking-Medium2360 | Thunder

Why is basketball the only sport where you assume that people age backwards, rather than understanding that scoring is simply easier now. Like Lebron isn’t a better scorer at 40 than 20.

KC Jones is in the HoF as a PLAYER. He has 0 all star selections, 0 all nba selections, & wasn’t even a STARTER. Averaged 7.4ppg/3.5reb/4.3 assist with career highs all in SINGLE DIGITS. He was a defensive specialist. These guys made the hof because they won.. not because they were the most stacked or talented.

Frank Ramsey. No all stars, but HoF.. often not even a starter.

Carl Braun played his last season at the end of his career w Russell and is counted as a hof teammate averaging 8 minutes and 3 ppg

Clyde Lovellette another guy that never played more than 10 minutes or was a starter for Boston w minimal contributions but gets counted.

Andy Phillip again last 2 seasons in Boston, no all stars.. never averaged 5 ppg.

Arnie Risen again last 3 seasons in Boston never averaged 10 ppg.

Russell won half his rings with two completely different set of teammates, and led the Celtics most dominant stretch with everyone from his original team either gone or washed into a role player as he averaged 12+ more minuites than anyone.

He also beat two teams better than anyone Jordan beat in one as a retiree player coach on a team that was bad without him and would still be worse than the 94 bulls by alot when they replaced him with a hof coach and center.

Russell was far more dominant as an individual just like Lebron ontop of winning twice as much.

Hell, Mike at 39 was still pretty good player on a bad team that didn’t play any meaningful basketball and I considered that pretty amazing.

Bulls are pretty much the Clippers if you remove the 90s

Chicago has been to the conference finals in the Seventies, Eighties, and Teens. In fact, they’ve been to the East and West Conference Finals in decades other than Nineties.

The Clippers have visited the conference finals exactly once.

The Clippers have visited the playoffs 19 times. Chicago has made them 30 times, not including their six title runs.

Leave it to someone with the ultimate poverty-franchise flair to try and fail to insult any other team.

comparing player wins to franchise wins is pretty stupid. for every franchise win, there’s 7-15 player wins. If we’re counting a player win the same value as a team win, a fun one I always like is Jokic + Murray + Gordon combined has more playoffs wins than the entire Denver Nuggets franchise. The duo of Anthony Edwards + Jaden McDaniels combined also has just surpassed the entire Minnesota Timberwolves in playoffs wins just last year in the WCF, and is extending the lead.

MullingHollysDrive | Lakers

That’s because you’re double or triple counting players and thus wins in your example? That doesn’t apply in a 1:1 comparison
