Russell has dropped 25 in 15/65 games
Ozark Kobe has dropped 25 in 5/71 games
Hachimura has dropped 25 in 2/57 games
"any given night"
lmao
So the Lakers THIRD option has scored 25+ points in roughly 25% of the games he's played.
By contrast, Ho Grant scored 25 or more points just six (6) times in the six YEARS he played alongside MJ, while Kukoc hit that number only four (4) times in 3 yearS (during the second 3-Peat).
Put another way Hachimura is the Lakers' 5th option and he has as almost as many 25 Point games (in just 57 games) as the Bulls' 3rd options (Grant and Kukoc) had in 6 and 3 yearS respectively.
I repeat: Imagine Jordan (at ANY age) playing alongside such a STACKED roster, yet leading that team to just the 9th seed.
HOW is this possible??
Already explained. Nobody else can score in large amounts when they have a massive ballhog on their team...
Not true... weak sauce, rob.
Grant in 94 (as the Bulls' 2nd option, when Jordan was playing Baseball) scored 25 or more just 2 times all year. BJ (the 3rd option in 94) scored 25 only four (4) times in 82 games. Kukoc (the 4th option) dropped 25 or more a grand total of zero (0) times.
..
That being said, forget about MJ... I think the question here becomes, imagine if Scottie Pippen played alongside such a STACKED team like these Lakers!?!? He would have won the Championship (in 94) no question.

Simple. They follow their "leader"... and as we ALL know LeFraud hasn't played consistent/good Defense in 10 years.
Jordan, of course, went all-out every night on Defense. He set the tone/example and his teammates had no choice but to step-up and follow his lead. Likewise the Lakers see their "leader" playing garbage Defense, and they follow his 'lead'.
Next...

Then they're just following his lead on offense, too. You can't have it both ways, TDK.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Wow!
Great hypothesis.
Even though the highest rated defensive team in the NBA today with probably the most impactful defensive player (Wolves) give up as many points/possession as the 22nd best team in 1997.

Horace Grant never averaged more than 11.3 attempts alongside MJ.
Kukoc never averaged more than 11.4 attempts alongside MJ; however, the year after MJ quit for the second time, Kukoc topped the 25 point mark 11 times.

Precisely... they follow their "Check My Stats" leader on Offense AND they follow his "zero effort" on Defense as well... which is why the Lakers are sitting at the 9th seed despite playing with Offensive firepower Jordan could only dream of having, which is why MJ "led by example" on Offense and Defense... which explains is why he's undefeated in the Finals while LeBron has 6 Finals losses.

Lakers play better WINNING basketball withOut LeFraud, bush-league... and when he plays LeFraud is a tree-stump liability on Defense, which is why such a high-powered Offensive team is just the 9th seed.
They follow the tone and example their "leader" sets Offensively and Defensively, and again, we ALL know LeFraud's Defense has been garbage for a decade... which explains why the Lakers are the 9th seed.
Easy stuff here, bush-league... no need to over-complicate with fake stats, charts and graphs.
Put MJ (OR Pippen) on this Lakers team in place of LeFraud and LA is the #1 seed right now without question.
Get mad...

Lakers had 6 players score 10+ in 3 games in the month of March alone.
The Magicos had 6 players score 10+ in 3 games in the month of March.
Faggot.
Compare the two teams records in march...
Thanks for playing
Call me when 8 players score double digits...you wont
7-4 vs 8-3 Woah such a huge difference!
Oh so now it's 8? What happened to "or 7 or even 6..you wont"?
Goal post moving Mexican faggot.
You know less about the NBA than TDK, and he doesn't even watch the NBA (allegedly).
I said 8 initially you illiterate fuckwad.
You know absolutely nothing about the nba. You're a bandwagon fan of fucking lebron. Youre so predictable like a 12 year old. You have zero credibility.
I'm a real fan. Through good and bad.
Youre a nobody in this game

You have a bad habit of turning things personal after you get destroyed.
It's not really that personal.
It's just not possible a 50 year old man who is happy and content (reasonably so) in life acts the way you do.
The basketball content is a wrist-flick rebuttal for me and a few others on this board, so the personal mechanisms in your head are actually more interesting to me.

That's all.
You have no rebuttal, which is why you so often resort to taking things to a personal level once you've been slapped around.
Case in point: You could have just been honest and admit that LeBron is a terrible excuse for a leader and a slacker/liability on Defense (which are the two reasons why the Offensively STACKED Lakers are wallowing in mediocrity), but instead you rambled off some meaningless drivel about the 97 Bulls then made it personal after you got eviscerated on the actual topic.
Clearly you're the one with issues.
