    Just for fun, who do you think would win?

    Lebron James
    BJ Armstrong
    Bill Cartwright
    Horance Grant
    Steve Kerr

    vs.

    Hakeem Olajuwon
    Otis Thorpe
    Robert Horry
    Vernon Maxwell
    Kenny Smith

    The reason I post this is because everyone likes to point out "Lebron leading the Cavs to finals and hence he's awesome" argument. So I propose a different scenario.

    In real history, Pippen-led Bulls narrowly lost to the Knicks 3-4 in 2nd round. In one part due to this.
    In one of the most argued calls in NBA history a questionable foul was called by Hue Hollins in the closing seconds of Game 5 against Pippen which gave the Knicks Hubert Davis two free throws to turn a one-point deficit into a one-point victory for the Knicks.

    The same Knicks then went on to lose 3-4 to the Rockets team in an incredibly close final. one that perhaps Houston would've lost if it weren't for homecourt.

    So the question is: If Lebron was on that Bulls team instead of Pippen, would he have beaten the Knicks in that series, then beat Indiana in the conference finals, and then beat the Houston Rockets in the finals?

    What a strange question. But, no. Nobody was beating Dream that year.

    No. LeBron would have been 10 years old.

    He can time travel, you say?

    Still no. Clutch City baby.

    Doesn't Pippen sub himself out when the game is on the line?
