Stockton/Malone played 18 seasons together and were eliminated in the 1st round 9 times

[Waka FICO Flamez]

Making it to the finals twice saves them from looking like an abject failure.

SOHH the Great Shaquille O'Neal was getting ousted by a wack ass Jazz team year after year? But he's undoubtably better than Jokic?

We don't do that here. We pretend Shaq wasn't a loser that needed two top 5 guards of all time to win anything

 

[Eric Brooks]

Shaq caught major heat for all those sweeps. He was called a failure all the way up until they beat the Pacers. Old heads trying to tell y'all that wasn't the case are liars.

I pointed this out earlier that Shaq and Kobe had so many issues with this Jazz squad including a sweep in the conference finals in 98. These new I will devalue the teams jordan played shyt is such bullshyt.

Still mad Stockton hit that 3 at the buzzer against Houston

 

[Eric Brooks]

Malone and Stockton washing Shaq. Shaq tried a hard foul on Malone in this game. Malone gets up and starts clapping and say "ok..." And the Jazz finish the sweep

They were still losers who never won anything

Why are you deflecting

they didn't win because Jordan didn't let a lot of folks eat.

Kobe was 18/19 and not even a starter in those series

Still Shaq getting washed like that was embarrassing. Even though Kobe wasn't Kobe yet, those Laker teams were good enough to win 60 games with Shaq missing 20 games

 

[Elim Garak]

Kobe was 18/19 and not even a starter in those series

I realize that but that wasn't my point they still didn't win a single game in 98. I'm not talking about 97.

 

[Eric Brooks]

It was Prime Shaq with Van Exel, Horry, Fisher, Eddie Jones, Elden Campbell and Rick Fox with young ass Kobe. It's telling that the Jazz were washing these dudes in sweeps and the Lakers didn't win shyt until Kobe had a couple more years under his belt.

Very telling.

Shaq and Kobe were not "Shaq and Kobe" in 98 breh

 

[Elim Garak]

Shaq and Kobe were not "Shaq and Kobe" in 98 breh

Had 4 all-stars and got swept by the Jazz.

 

[Eric Brooks]

Had 4 all-stars and got swept by the Jazz.

And Shaq was in his prime. He has already been in the league 6 full seasons.

 

[Eric Brooks]

Then the next season Shaq and the Lakers got swept AGAIN by the Spurs in the second round. He was really feeling the heat at that point.
