    Nah, it was clearly because Jordan retired and played professional hockey or something.

    I love the reactions in this thread. Shaq has given Hakeem nothing but respect and would not mean that in a serious way. Shaq was obviously joking.

    They just nailed Shaq to the wall.

    Chuck: I think by degree they meant the deodorant.

    Thats a good argument if he didnt also lose the 3rd and 4th game when they had plenty of practice in the first two games. We all know he is joking nowadays.

    ha, true, but Houston fans have been hearing it for SO long that those championships were flukes, its easy to get defensive at any point. ;)

    Jordan played against Magic, he came back in the middle of that season, I think.

    If you are rusty you don't jump out to a 20pt first half lead in game 1. They choked.

    Shaq didn't choke, Nick Anderson did, didn't he miss 4 FTs? Anyway, I seriously doubt Shaq would disrespect our championships like that because he was Robin, Batman was Kobe and D.Wade.

    I remember as NBC immediately went to coverage of Game 1 of that series, Costas said something like: "Can the Rockets hold off for one year what appears to be an imminent dynasty in Orlando."

    As much as I like Costas' reporting in the Olympics and things like that, he was SUCH a tool when it came to the 90s era Rockets. He NEVER gave them their due, unless it was begrudgingly.

    Pacers knocked the Bulls out that year in the playoffs. Miller had that steal against Jordan that was so classic.

    I hope this is some kind of sarcasm.

    Nick Anderson had a classic steal against Jordan in 1995.
