    Magic went to shake MJ's hand. Magic congratulated Isiah and Mark Aguirre after the 89 Finals. Magic congratulated Dr J and Moses and Billy Cunningham with Kareem and Pat Riley after the 83 Finals. No matter what you say about the man and the franchise, Magic and the Lakers are all class.

      *CAUTION* Talking bout the pistons physical abuse? Think logically sooner or later the NBA wouldve done something about it, they wouldnt stand by and let their best players get their careers threatened from injuries, that would ruin the image of the NBA and one of their biggest source of income, especiallly now that the NBA has entered the modern era and more kids watch it.

    In 1991, the Bulls were ascending and the Lakers were descending. Yet Magic willed his team into the Finals one more time. That means from 1980 to 1991, the Lakers missed only 3 Finals. This was the Bulls first Finals under Jordan.

    As a Laker fan, this was the most disappointing Finals for me because this Lakers team was hurt and far from what the 80s Showtime Lakers were. There was no more: Pat Riley, Kareem, Michael Cooper, Jamal Wilkes, and Bob MacAdoo. Worthy was hurt and only himself in game 1 with 33 points; he missed games 2 and 5, I believe. Byron Scott was hurt and sucked in this series. Magic had little help against a young, athletic, and hungry Bulls team.

    That was an awesome moment in sports. I had been a Jordan fan since day one, watching every game, every year on Chicago Sports Channel. All my relatives were Knicks fans who told me Jordan wasn't going to win a title but that didn't hold up. Watching Jordan and his Bulls teams was great at the time but a privilege now. In 2021 Jordan is still talked about far more than any current player and it doesn't surprise me one bit. I don't think there will ever be a player like Jordan again because it had to happen at the right time and that time is gone. Great players will come and go as they have but people are still wearing Jordan's on their feet not those guy's shoes and Jordan has been retired for how long? If a guy came along scoring 50 a night he would never be a big a star as Jordan.

      @@BruhMoment-di1oy It depends on what you're looking for. Magic's 42 point, 15 rebound, 7 assist, 3 steal finals performance as a 20 year old says otherwise. Magic won 5 and only played 13 years, and Jordan won 6 and played 15. I'd say it's pretty even. If you're just talking about scoring at will and dominating a game with individual performance, Jordan's better. If you're talking about a player who could play all three positions and give you a win on any given night, it's Johnson. He went to 9 NBA finals, three more than Jordan, and I believe he would have won another ring if he hadn't got sick. But even so, no one dominated as definitively and for as long as Johnson, only Lebron compares with Finals appearances in 10 years or half of his NBA career. For a decade, all championships went through Johnson or Lebron's turf.

    1:57 was the leanest move of the game.

    M Jordan went to school a many days and when he graduated he showed the league how it's done. It takes PRACTICE and long nights in the gym. Plus good players on the team. Team work together
