it's comprehensible. 60's nba had 8 to 12 teams. celtics happened to have the best team every year and the greatest coach was light years ahead of other coaches. honestly it's like playing bunch of bad buffalo bills every year to the championship. objectively speaking MJ was just a better basketball player than russell ever was. just watch them play. watch some old 60's footage. MJ would literally avg 60-70 pts every season in that era. not joking.
Jordan was a better scorer x 100 but all comparisons stop right there.
I think you need to look at each of those seasons and understand the dynamics at play. Those 11 titles absolutely were not cakewalks.
Think of it as the 2003 and 2004 Patriots playing off an on for 13 years off and on and winning 11 SBs.
