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???
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
