That NBAtv Clutch City show got me hype. I saw it on youtube just today... I remember that season they beat the Knicks was a really slow year for the NBA with Jordan being out. I remember the cover of sports illustrated questioning whether hockey was going to overtake the NBA. So that year wasn't that memorable...
...but damn, I forgot how awesome the Rockets repeat really was. I mean I remembered Drexler coming over and taking them to the championship as a 6th seed. But I forgot that they actually had a losing record with Drexler on their team at the end of the regular season. I also forgot just how dramatic their first two playoff series really were, beating the Jazz and beating the Suns in the most dramatic fashion.
Of course I remembered the Finals and one of the biggest choke jobs in history—Anderson at the line—who can forget that 8)
..so the debate is, could the Rockets have won if Jordan had not retired?
-
yea because Jordan came back in 94-95 and bulls still lost. Hakeem in his prime was untouchable, right up there with Jordan.

that doesn't count because Jordan was out of shape trying to come back at the end of the season after standing around in the outfield for a year.... the debate is if Jordan never retired, and the Bulls just kept rolling after their championship against the Suns

and the answer is no .. threepeat is draining. one can argue that the break is the reason Jordan was able to refresh and win another threepeat. now if Kobe was in Jordan's shoes, he woulda never retired for baseball and woulda won 8 straight 8)

If Kobe was that good then why couldn't he of just one those championships with the Lakers... couldn't they of 4-peated with Shaq if they would've handled business against the Pistons? And he couldn't get it done on a team with Malone, Payton, Shaq...right?
...by the way, on a different note getting back to the Rockets championships, I noticed there is one key guy always hittin big shots in key moments, and that's Robert Horry. This dude has been on so many championship teams and it is no coincidence. He's a big reason why a lot of those teams were champions.

Infinite with the knockout punch to any Kobe arguement ;D

BECAUSE SHAQ WAS A LAZY PRIMADONNA WHO MAILED IT IN AFTER THE THREEPEAT. THAT TEAM WAS DOOMED FROM THE START, NO CHEMISTRY WHATSOEVER AND MALONE + PAYTON WERE WASHED UP.. MALONE WAS EVEN INJURED IN THE FINALS. THAT TEAM WASNT A TEAM AT ALL....ON THE CONTRARY, GIVE KOBE A HARDWORKING BEAST WITH NO EGO ISSUES ALA PIPPEN FOR THE DURATION OF HIS PRIME AND OHHHHWEEEE.
ROBERT HORRY = THE GOAT ROLE PLAYER

STOP WHISPERING SWEET DISSENSION IN HIS EAR U FUCK

Jordan was on fire come playoff time. The Magic were simply too big for the Bulls. Jordan genuinely LOST.

that was hardly a genuine loss... Jordan was very tired, you could see it in him, that he just ran out of gas, and his physical strength was not up to par. They did have some serious front court problems, I agree, but everyone knew the Magic didn't beat the real Jordan

yep, Shaq and Penny were no joke
well, until they ran into Hakeem :D

sounds like an excuse to me

Jordan being very sub-par during the '95 playoffs is probably the biggest misconception in sports history. I swear some people are literally unaware that the games even happened.
MJ was averaging MORE points on a BETTER FG% than he did in '96 and '97! Nigga got beat. All there is to it. Even topnotch-prime-Jordan would have been annihilated by Hakeem's Rockets that year. Prime Jordan playing for the 2007 Cavs would have been swept like a dirty floor. Nigga's the greatest non-big ever, but he sure as hell ain't the demigod people talked him up to be.

MJ ain't losing to the 03-04 pistons though ;D

Most greats wouldn't... one of the all-time Finals upsets.

gotta be #1 - i can't even THINK of another being close - stephen a smith was all on the lakers nuts that run and Max Kellerman was the only dude on BSPN who had the balls to predict the Pistons winning (he even called it being a short series too)

lolsmh if he lost to the shaq magic with pippen by his side then he damn sure woulda lost with that circus of a laker team. shaq was a shell of his former self+Malone n Payton were role player status+Malone was injured.....MJ wouldn't have even made the finals under those circumstances.
-
lmao @ shaq being a shell of himself at age 31 - dude was leading the league in shooting % and pulling down 21.5 and 11.5 a night despite getting 4 less shots per game than the year before (thanks to a certain ballhog)
Shaq was #2 in MVP voting in his first year with the heat, the excuses keep piling up

hack dont be a fuckin dumbass, son...my point was that he wasnt the same shaq. you know, MVP shaq....instead, kobe finished ahead of him in the voting, which proves the point i was making. think before u post.

Jordan dropped 50 in the Garden his first game back, fuck off with he wasn't ready. The team wasn't ready that's why they went out and got Rodman the next year.
Dream was a force of fucking nature those two years, first title, MVP, Defensive MVP, Finals MVP. In both years he went through all of his contemporaries, Ewing, Robinson, Shaq to win the title.
