Unlike nearly every other all-time great of their generation, Jordan never played with a natural scorer who was good enough to get double-teamed in the playoffs. This meant that he often had to carry superhuman offensive loads in order for his teams to be dominant the way they were.

Thus, his 30+ points per game average through every playoff campaign isn't as unexpected as one would expect - except for the fact that no other comparable player has averaged 30+ in more than 6 playoff runs.

There's a reason why other sporting greats are called the Michael Jordan of something - so good that everyone recognizes you as the best.
