Took a while for someone to bring up the 8 straight finals with 3 teams. Even with one team, making 8 finals appearances in a row is astounding. Stats against different generations are impossible to compare for any sport, but that many times in a row on the final two teams in giant playoffs, in a sport where the better teams do win (compared to something like NFL or MLB where it's much more toss ups in playoffs), can easily get people to consider him the best.
