Michael Jordan is 1 of only 3 players ever to average 11+ assists in a finals. Then 2 years later he averaged 41 ppg. The highest ppg ever in a finals. (alien.top)

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.

You don’t think Lebron has an argument against Jordan? I think it’s debatable right now at the very least.

He can be argued but at the end of the argument it's still solidly jordan.

Lebron is the solid #2 though.
