I grew up watching these stats like gospel. Jordan’s ’93 finals? His defenders barely moved. James’ ’16? His opponents lit up like a damn miracle. I dug through the spreadsheets—93 had Johnson hitting at 72%, but every other defender fell apart. James’ crew didn’t just score higher—they owned the MVP, while Jordan’s team slept through it all. This isn’t talent. It’s system failure dressed as legacy. And we still call it ‘the American Dream’ while ignoring who paid for it.
