Jordan Vital
Why was Larry Bird more vital to his team's success than Michael Jordan?
COLLEGE
Bird led a bunch of SCRUBS to an undefeated reg season & the NCAA Championship game.
Jordan had two seasons as the leader of the #1 ranked team in the country, loaded with talent, and couldn't even get them to the Final 4
PRO'S
Celtics
78/79 , 29-53 year before Bird
79/80 , 61-21 Bird's rookie season (same core group as year before)
87/88 , 57-25 Lost in ECF
88/89 , 42-40 Bird misses season to injury. Replaced by All-star Lewis
Bulls
83/84 , 27-55 year before Jordan
84/85 , 38-44 Jordan's rookie season
93/94 , 57-25 win championship
94/95 , 55-27 Jordan retires, Bulls only drop 2 games
Why did the Celtics, despite having Hall of Famers & All Stars, suddenly collapse without Bird there, yet the Bulls only drop 2 wins when Jordan retired (right before the season incidentally) ???
Interesting fact, maybe because Bird was a better teammate than Michael Jordan ever was.
