Sure he got some generous calls, all stars do... have you been watching Harden?

Lol comparing Harden’s cute regular season calls to Jordan’s in pivotal playoff games

I thought that infamous ticky tack call on Laimbeer against Abdul-Jabbar was near the end of Game 7. That was so chicken when they were trying to shoot a quick three to cut the lead to one or two points and the fans at The Forum rushed the floor and got in the way of the end of the game with no call. Though it wasn't as chicken as when those same Laker fans rushed the floor for Jordan three years later when MJ took the AIDS & Co out in five in the Lakers building.

The Laimbeer call was in game 6.

A team with SIX white American players in its rotation reaching the Finals in one year, let alone 2 can't be real life, tbh..this isn't hockey

You apparently forgot the racial makeup of all those Bulls teams, dip .

No. The idea that Jordan had the strength in his left arm while he was dribbling and off balance to push Bryon Russell is interesting, but very difficult to believe. I have a buddy who weighs about what I do. We occasionally shove each other like we used to when we were kids. For us to move each other at all, it takes a full on two-handed shove. Jordan was a big, strong guy, but not in 1998. In 1998 he was lithe and quick and although he was famous for pushing off, it seems Bryon just took one step too many here. It was very common back in the "hand check" days for the defender to have a hand on the offensive player, and occasionally vice versa.

Russell bought Jordan's excellent feint and although he made an admirable attempt, couldn't quite recover fast enough. He was good but Jordan was better. You can't convince me that one of Jordan's hands on one of Russell's legs was enough to push his whole body a step in the wrong direction. I don't see it. There's too much weight, too much momentum. Russell didn't take that step because of Jordan, but inertia."

You a Jordan fluffer, Chris?

You a Jordan fluffer, Chris?

Negative. I just did some research into it and I agree with this assessment.

[spurraider21]

off topic, but at "research" being some answer on quora by some guy named Jonathan Brill who compares him and his friend horsing around to michael jordan on a basketball court

One must remember the entire sequence

In Game 6 Jordan was not jump shooting effectively. On the previous offensive possession (Down 4), Jordan blew by Russell with his right hand.

When you watch replay of the Final possession, Karl sells out on help defense (leaving Pippen wide open) and Russell bites really hard on Jordan again driving right.

Regardless of the jumper being wide open, I think Utah preferred that look over Jordan driving to the hoop. Does anyone actually think for example Lebron would have hit that jumper - no.
