O Neal says Jordan and Curry won the championship less than James

Basketball

Recently, former NBA superstar O'Neal was asked an interesting question on the podcast show. That is, in the long NBA career, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe and Stephen Curry, who gets the least help on the road to success.

O'Neal said "It's going to be a draw, Kobe got a lot of help, let me be honest, I got a lot of help. So, that's the tie. Michael and Stephen are in the same group. Two bad boys, but they have another bad guy next to you. Clay... It's the connection between the two."

" Michael had to carry a lot, but Pippen was a bad boy , Stephen had to take on a lot, but there were Draymond (Green) and Clay, they were some bad kids, so it was a draw. Kobe didn't need to do much, let me re-express the right way, because I was there, I didn't need to do much, because he was there."

Kobe and O'Neal completed the only three-game feat after the Chicago Bulls, and the two complemented each other and were indispensable. From 2000 to 2002, O'Neal won three championships, and they were all MVPs in the finals. After parting ways in 2004, Kobe completed two consecutive championships in 2009 and 2010, when he partnered with Fisher, Gasol, Bynum and Odom.

O'Neal did not explain why he thought LeBron James, who was more help than Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry. During the Miami Heat, LeBron James partnered with Wade and Chris Bosh to enter the Finals four times and won the championship twice. After LeBron James returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers, he worked with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love to enter the finals four times and win the championship in one go. In 2018, he joined the Lakers for 7 seasons, worked with Anthony Davis, entered the Finals at one time and successfully won the championship. However, LeBron James has also partnered with many outstanding stars such as Cameron Anthony, Dwight Howard, Westbrook, etc. Now, LeBron James is working with 26-year-old Luka Doncic.

As for Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry, as O'Neal said, they did play with great players, too. Michael Jordan entered the finals six times, won six championships, with a 100% winning rate. Scottie Pippen was the second in command of Michael Jordan during his six-time championship period, and as for Rodman, he was the core of the inside line for the second three consecutive championships.

As for Stephen Curry, he worked with Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Iguodala to win four championships. Don't forget that they recruited the league's second player Kevin Durant after losing the 2016 Finals. Moreover, Stephen Curry has also partnered with stars such as Cousins, Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins.
