  • @ry3304 ... better coach? I'm not so sure. The bottom line is that in the '85 and '87 Finals, the Celtics lacked depth due to the injuries to Cedric Maxwell (recovering from knee surgery) and Bill Walton, respectively. In both matchups, Boston probably proved to be one player away from defeating L.A.

  • He did just fine with the Chief and McHale.

  • @mcmillspiece You are soo very wrong man ! Look i apprciate old school ball ... But these dudes now a days are much more faster and stronger and are just plain better athletes...its FACT

  • @Sovnarkom Good point but I still believe that when Magic and Bird faced each other, it was more of a challenge than Jordan's adversaries.

  • @xyzcannon92 Jordan had to play against Bird's Celtics, Isaia Thomas' Pistons, Dominique Wilkins' Hawks and Moses Malone/ Charles Barkley / Dr. J's 76ers in the playoffs for most of his career. Karl Malone was MVP of the league during their first bout against the Jazz in the Finals, Charles Barkley was MVP of the league and Kevin Johnson was 1st team All NBA when the Suns played against the Bulls in the finals. Clyde Drexler, Magic Johnson, James Worthy - also defeated in NBA finals.

  • @Sovnarkom yeah because Jordan didn't have a arch rival that would challenge him in the NBA finals almost every year. In contrast Bird and Magic had to face each other a lot of times in the finals and that was a lot harder than Jordan facing who ever in the Finals

  • @AceroySangre Same goes for Michael Jordan (oh' wait - he still won more than Magic or Bird).

  • Those 2 are the same LOL. just different color and personalities

  • NBA SUK THE DAY JORDAN RETIRE BAK THEN NAB WAS LIKE FOOTBALL VERY PHYSICAL ALOT OF TRASH TALKING AND HARD FOUL
