Michael Jordans performance in the 93' Finals against Phoenix was :merchant:

[mvp_status]

If anybody's team could've beat The Bulls back then......I would put it all on my money on the line for the GOAT Center, Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon


He's probably the only Center that is legitimately a Top 5 Offensive Center Of All-Time AND a Top 5 Defensive Center Of All-Time

And for what its worth, Hakeem is the only guy I've ever heard MJ give props on some "I'm not sure we can beat this dude in a series" type shyt

. I think Riley is the one who started the shift to be honest.

He did.

The shift started in 1994

Lemme guess, the Rockets would have beat them huh

Orlando
there's no way you win that long without being inclined to underestimate opposition
that's where they would have been

Bruh, Nobody was beating Jordan's team in his prime.

They were 9th defensively, Bulls were 7th. Not to much of a difference broskie.

The Suns allowed nearly 107ppg on 48% shooting too.



the Bulls allowed 98

How do you think Ceballos would've changed the dynamic of that series?

Pippen hated guarding him because it took him out of his element.Pip liked to press dudes on the perimeter, but Ceballos used to like to rove around the lane and sneak into the paint.Ceballos might be the best I've ever seen at moving without the ball.He was real slippery around the key and Barkley was great at finding him

I sure wish we could've found out. The realist in me thinks the Bulls would've found a way to deal with Ceballos, but the optimistic Barkley fan in me says Suns in 7.

I was 9, and all I can remember is Jordan throwing Bawklee and his cronies in the bushes

Not taking anything away from MJ, but the Suns weren't a great team by any means. They had a shyt defense.

I'd take this Spurs team over them.

yeah but to avg 41 tho ? 41 my nikka

Pace.

Bulls had the slowest pace in the league. Suns were #3 .

the Suns were still a not so good defensive team either way.

the paced helped MJ rack up more points then

That's ridiculous.

Statistically they were on the same level as the Bulls.

Jordan shot the ball 34 times a game during that series. Give Lebron and Kobe that many shots in a high paced series and watch them avg 45ppg easily.
