I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of Jordan shit tonight and this combo of stats blew my mind.
He’s never been a point guard for an extended time. I know he played point guard at the end of a season and racked up 10 triple doubles out of 11 games. Out of his decently lengthy career he’s barely done it but… he still put up 11+ assists a game in a finals and only 2 other players in history have done this. Both point guards their whole careers(Cousey and Magic).
Then 2 finals later he sets the finals ppg record at 41 points.
Both of these have not been broken since those years 30-32 years ago.
Bonus: he set the playoff scoring total record in the playoffs in the year between those. That hasn’t been broken either
He won all 3 years to support the awesomeness even further
Dafuq was this dude on???
His peak is something that more than likely will never be reached by anyone else. There’s really nothing more to it than that. He was absolutely insane.
There’s always another mindblowing MJ stat.
Someday there will be a player that legitimately challenges MJ in the goat debate, and I just hope I’m around to see him play when that happens.
Bron challenges him. Id say a good 25ish% of people have him as their goat. I wanna see someone be the Gretzky undeniable GOAT level. Like completely dethrone Mj, Bron, and Kareem. I dunno if its possible tho. Its super hard to get 4+ rings with these rules
Will be very interesting to see how close Wemby gets to GOAT status
