If Magic is better than jordon, why did the Bulls beat Lakers in the 1991 finals?
You just answered your own question. The Bulls beat the Lakers. Yes, the jordon jockers at NBC tried to hype it as “Magic vs. Michael,” but that was a farce. Basketball is STILL a team game (even when jordon is on your team the rest of the players have to play THAT much better like a team to make up for him). Furthermore,, Magic did not guard jordon, because he was defending better offensive threats on the Bulls, and after jordon got spanked trying to guard Magic in game #1, he no longer guarded Magic. Before the finals, James Worthy severely sprained his ankle against the Portland Trailblazers. After game 1, which the Lakers won, BTW, Worthy s minutes were limited. This allowed the Bulls to put Scottie Pippen on Magic Johnson, since Foolish jordon got torched by him in the game 1 Lakers win. Had Worthy not been injured, and Phil Jackson tried this, he would have had to put jordon or John Paxson guard on 6’9″ Worthy or 6’8″ A.C. Green. None of these match-ups were favorable. Furthermor
