Bird and Magic ruled the 80's. In the 90's Mutumbo, Hakeem, Robinson, Barkley, Malone, Kemp, and other bigs played in the Western conference while the East had Ewing, Mourning and young Shaq.

How did he dodge them when he won 6 championships in the early and late 90s and had a winning record against teams with dominant centers with Bill Cartwright then Luc Longley as a starters.

MJ averaged 28 / 6 / 4 against Seattle in '96, which had far more to do with Gary Payton's defense than Shawn Kemp.

MJ dropped four 40+ games in a row against Barkley, including getting 55 in game 4.

MJ averaged 33 pts against the Jazz in the '97 and '98 finals and dropped 45 in his final game 6 in '98.

MJ averaged 31 / 5 / 4 against Mutumbo. Mutumbo average just over 10 points against MJ.

MJ averaged 31 / 5 / 4 against Olajuwon dating back to 1984 and going through the wizards era (where he dropped 21 / 4 / 3 on Hakeem). Hakeem, for his part, averaged 22 / 11 / 3 blocks against MJ teams.

Also dismissing "young Shaq" is wild. The Bulls championships well into Shaq's career.

Like MJ is a piece of shit no doubt but this is just silly

Folks argue the Western conference was the better conference therefore Jordan has an easier path playing in the East. I too hated MJ and always rooted against the Bulls.

I don't mean to downplay Shaq. Him and Penny were my fav team, but experience helps in the NBA and he became even better throughout his career so I thought I should note he was still developing. I hated him by the time he was in the West ruining the one shot the Timberwolves ever had of winning.
