MJ knocked the greats off the top and put his foot on their throat. After beating LA in 5 games back in 91, same shyt would've happened in 92 or 93 or whenever with Magic....IF MAGIC WOULDA NEVER RETIRED, THERE WOULD BE NO THREEPEAT FOR MJ.....THEY ONLY LOST THE 91 FINALS BECAUSE OF WORTHYS INJURY. THE TEAM WIT 4 HALL OF FAMERS = KARL MALONE WAS OUT OF HIS PRIME AND INJURED, GARY PAYTON WAS OUT OF HIS PRIME AND HAVING ISSUES WITH PHIL, SHAQ WAS FAT AND UNDERPERFORMING....BAD EXAMPLE.
No team dethroned a defending champion Bulls team.
You're making excuses now for the 2004 Lakers. They had home court advantage and they were the heavy favorite. They still lost in 5 games to a team with no superstars. Name a team in the finals MJ lost to when they were favored to win. The Bulls were supposed to lose to Phoenix in 93 and Utah in 98.
