Medaglie invece di anelli NBA: chi sarebbe il più vincente? Michael Jordan neanche in classifica

Il sito HoopsHype ha realizzato una classifica diversa dei giocatori più vincenti nella storia della NBA, assegnando una medaglia “olimpica” in base ai vari piazzamenti. L’oro va a chi ha vinto il titolo, l’argento a chi ha perso le Finals, il bronzo a chi ha chiuso col miglior record stagionale tra le due eliminate alle finali di conference. Ecco come si comporrebbe la classifica, nella quale non compare Michael Jordan

E MICHAEL JORDAN?

Come è noto Michael Jordan ha vinto tutte le sei finali NBA a cui ha partecipato, portandosi a casa quindi sei ori in questa ideale classifica. In carriera però non ha quindi mai preso un argento, e nelle due occasioni in cui è stato eliminato alle finali di conference solo nel 1990 aveva un record migliore rispetto all’eliminata dell’Ovest (i Phoenix Suns, che nel 1989 avevano finito meglio la regular season), aggiungendo quindi solo un bronzo al suo bottino per un totale di 7 medaglie
