    1) The Celtics,Bad Boys Pistons & 76ers have been retired & washed out of their dynasty in the 80's era. Without them out the picture & what is left, is the Knicks-Ewing era & Pacers-Miller against Jordan. Both of them had no help while Jordan had Pippen & then later Denise Rodman.

    2) The Eastern Conference was weak.

    3) Phil Jackson was & still the greatest coach that we have ever seen. Without him & his Triangle Offense, I do NOT think Jordan will be Jordan.

    4) The Lakers in 1991 where no match because Pat Riley was coaching the Knicks,Kareem has already retired,Magic was 35 years old,Worthy with injuries,Kurt Rambis & Green where playing with different team & it wasn't enough who where almost got swept 1-4. I can say it was a easy fight of Jordan's 6 Finals match.

    5) I can't speak for the Blazers in 1992 but I do know this was the same team who lost against the Bad Boys Pistons in 1989 Finals.

    6) The Suns-Charles Barkley in 1993 had no help & it wasn't his fault. At least he pushed the game to Game 6.

    7) If have to pick Jordan his most hardest opponent he ever faced, it's going to be the Super Sonics-Payton from the 1996 Finals. This team where 0-3 who people thought they where going to get swept but they pushed it to Game 6 & humiliated the Bulls until their luck ran out.

    8) Both 1997 & 1998 Finals was a fair fight against Utah Jazz. I wasn't impressed in the 1998 Finals Game 6 because they Bulls ALMOST lost that game if Jordan missed that clutch shot. It would have gone to Game 7 in Chicago. So in my book, 1993,1996-1997, Jordan won fair & square. This is why he never lost in the Finals.

    Mix of him performing great, having a great team and playing a some weak teams, the 1993 Suns and the 91 Lakers were no real competition, but people shouldn't say the East was weak, they had the Knicks with Patrick Ewing who immediately went to the finals in 1994 (after Jordan's first retirement" and took the champs Houston and Hakeem to 7 games, in 1995 the Bulls (with Jordan; albeit in a suboptimal shape) lost to Shaq and Hardaway on a good Magic team, those teams were alot better than the competition Lebron James has currently.

    Because he never played against Kobe's Lakers or LeBron's Heat in the NBA Finals.
