For people that keep saying the Rockets only won because Jordan retired…

[Diondon]

Teams in the west matched up better.

The teams the Bulls beat?

 

[god shamgod]

Only reason the rockets made the finals cuz their fathers Seattle got bounced in the 1st round in ‘94 & ‘95.sonics owned Houston hakeem was 0-4 vs them until he beat them in ‘97

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Regular season isn't the playoffs.

Yeah I remember how the CP3 Suns used to dominate Luka & the Mavs all throughout te regular season.Won 8 regular season games in a row vs the Mavs.Met up in the playoffs, and well, we all know how that went ..The Mavs stomped a mud hole in that azz.

Bulls ain't shyt cause they have no answer for Hakeem but they getting knocked out by teams starting Ervin Johnson

 

[UpAndComing]

What stopped him from coming out the west the 6 years the Bulls made it to the finals?

What stopped Jordan from coming out of the East and in the Finals for the first 6 years of his career?

Who is claiming that any of those teams would've beaten the 94/95 Rockets?

My take even if MJ didn't retire No Worm , No chips. People really sleeping on that all time great PF that could guard anybody on the floor.

Bulls terrorized nikkas on the perimeter with MJ and Scottie but they big men depth wasn't good. Horace Grant was a real good big and underrated but was still 6'9 210. His nephew in the league now Jerami ain't much smaller than unc. Then beside Horace they big men were always a weakness specially when they matched up wit Hakeem, Shaq, Robinson, Ewing, Zo. Bulls would been one of Hakeem lightest head to head matchups durin they repeat if not easiest for em. They had 0 answer for him in any way. He was seein much better frontcourt players and bigs basically every other series he played.

Ewing, Zo, Shaq were all victims of the dynasty and so would Hakeem

 

[10bandz]

93-94, yes

94-95, MJ did play and got bounced early

yall dikkriders gotta hold onto that one huh

 

[10bandz]

Goofball that was in the 1960s

yeah you were in high school during that decade

 

[Brief Keef]

Hakeem went 6-1 vs the Bulls from 1989 until Jordan’s first retirement.





And Jordan literally said they were lucky the Rockets never make it out of the west…. Because they literally had nobody who could guard he’ll them.

Thats cool and we can keep talking about this every year for the next 30 years...Bulls still woulda won that series...Mike/Dream woulda cancelled each other out...Bulls woulda just had to take away Rockets 2nd best player and make Dream beat them...

 

[DraymondT]

Ewing, Zo, Shaq were all victims of the dynasty and so would Hakeem

Shaq was 1-1 against em in playoffs and that was a 22 and 23 yo Shaq who still put up 25/12/4/2 on 55% against the dynasty he averaged 5 offensive rebounds a game too

Hakeem in 95 was doin 33/10/5/3 on 53% as a AVERAGE against Malone/Carr, MVP Robinson/Rodman and Shaq/Grant

fukk prime Hakeem finna do to Luc Longley and Bill Wennington Rodman could already do nothin wit him. Finna slide Kukoc or Scottie to the 5?

 

[WhenWeWereKings]

Woulda coulda shoulda nuccas. No one knows what would've happened. But we all know what DID happen.
