compare players: statistics. Keep in mind, this is well before advanced stats. We’re talking basic, “stock” stats like steals and blocks.
You asking “did you watch the whole game” is implying that the box score is wrong. Logically, it has to be wrong. It’s impossible for a player to have more steals than the other team has turnovers.
No, I didn’t watch the whole game. It isn’t available anywhere. The only thing we have is the box score, and the box score shows an impossible situation.
I’m saying the box score is wrong and MJ’s stats were inflated. The article shows how inflated his stats were. That’s the whole point.
