1990-1991
First round - knicks - ewing, oakley, starks, cheeks
Second round - philly - barkley, dawkins, hawkins,
ECF - pistons - isiah , dumars , rodman , laimbeer , salley , agquirre
Finals - lakers - magic worthy byron, perkins , divac

1991-1992
First round - miami - pretty meh , glen rice, steve smith
Second round - knicks - again the same squad plus anthony mason and mark jackson
Ecf- cavs - nothing great but third seed , best cavs team before lebron was born - price , ehlo , daugherty , nance
Finals - portland - first seed who flew by the west vs jazz and lakers , very good defensive team - clyde , cliff , porter , kersey

1992-1993
First round- nique hawks, right away a better team than the scrun 8th seeds lebron has played
Second - cavs
Ecf - knicks with a really good squad who made the finals with this squad when mj retired
Finals - suns - dumas barkley chambers , kevin johnson , majerle


1996
Second round- tough ass physical knicks
Ecf - shaq penny magic
Finals - tough ass payton kemp sonics

Ill stop here
And then lets get real but the second three peat itself was tough af. One of the best defensive team in supersonics they took out. Last ring went thru knicks , reggies pacers in 7 games , then also took out the karl malone stockton jazz who most likely would have had a ring now if it wasnt for him.

Like i said bosox , individual matchups sure, but that wasnt the arguement. Like CC said , its not a one man show, the defense was still all over MJ, not to mention true real tough 90s defense, non of this touch foul flopping shit. All im saying , MJ went thru alot more tougher competition overall thru his trips to the larry obrien than lebron has. Just bc he beat the warriors bc of a suspension and bogut being out, doesnt hide the facts about the cakewalks and his past of choking and shit. People so quick to meassure him with MJ now after beating the warriors forgetting how poorly he has performed in alot of series/finals. Not alot of that can be said about MJ. Dude delivered in a way tougher era, with true defense in the paint.

Just by looking at his first ring in 1991, like every single round was absolutely tough. Or 1996, knicks, magic, sonics. His last one beating knicks pacers jazz i mean these are playoffs for u right there. Each series tough and entertaining. Last time a lebron playoff series before a final was interesting was when yall had ray pierce garnett lol that should say alot right there that being years ago
