    Yeah something isn't right about his assessment, I'm going to guess he wasn't alive or watching the playoffs when all of this went down.

    That 95 team had different heroes besides Dream.
    Kenny Smith , Cassell, Robert Horry had a monster finals , Clyde Drexler

    Oh yeah Mario Elie's Kiss of Death


    Also I don't know how anyone who calls himself a Rockets fan can have any DOUBT in this

    the MVP = David Robinson, Dream cooked him.

    Yet we have people here who think he will have problems with Cartwright and Scott Williams?

    There's a reason why Krause wanted to trade Pippen for Horry in the 90s. Rocket Horry would be a mother ****ing beast in today's game.

    I didn't even bother to watch the video but I'll believe the guy that won championships across multiple teams and hit championship winning shots over a quitter any day of the week.

    I'm going out on a limb, Cassell is better than BJ Armstrong and Paxon
    even as a ROOKIE



    95 Cassell

    Check out 22-year-old Hannah Storm at the end of that video. She's had quite the career herself.

    I did watch it, to my regret, and Scrotum Quitten acted like the weasel he is. Big Shot Rob was in the middle of a reverential burst of praise for Dream and declared that Hakeem was 20 times better than Duncan. I wouldn't have said "20 times better," myself, but I would say his moves were 20 times better. Timmy was called, with justification, The Big Fundamental. That says it all. Dream was on another planet when it came to his moves. No one else came remotely close, no one has since, and I'll be surprised as hell if anyone does in my lifetime.

    So what does the former Bulls All Star claim? That Robert was saying that Duncan wasn't that good. Robert didn't say that. He didn't remotely say that. He didn't put down Duncan at all. That would be like saying the Matterhorn just isn't a great mountain, and K2 is. The Matterhorn is a great mountain. Take a look at it sometime in person. There's no doubt about it. K2 is just on another level. Literally. :cool:

    MJ is the GOAT but Hakeem would of made Longley and Wennington his female dogs. 94 team. Thorpe and Horry down low with dream and Vernon talking worse than draymond.Forget about it. They are not beating us. 95 team would of gotten the edge too. They can’t guard Dream.

    I feel bad for people who missed the 90's! Better music, food, women.... definitely better pornstars and definitely way better playboy playmates....
    Pamela Anderson Jenny McCarthy, carmen Electra, victoria sveldt... over any playmate from 2000 on....

    Spoken like someone who grew up in the '90s.

    Food has NEVER been better than it is right now. Ever, in the history of the world. Music? Puhleeze.

    And who judges the value of a decade on pornstars and playmates? :eek:

    People forget that Bulls didn't have Grant (Orlando) or Rodman (Spurs) in the "interregnum."

    Grant played for the Bulls in 93/94. He even made the all-star team that year. That being said, I'll still take OT over him

    Good points all. What those on the Bulls side of the equation forget is that the Rockets swept the Bulls in the years around this...no other team did. So, it wasn't like the Rockets split those games with them...they won all of them. The NBA is all about matchups, and the Rockets just weren't a good matchup for the Bulls. Might that have changed were the championship on the line? Maybe. But, despite what some of the Bulls homers might think, it wasn't a default 'Bulls' answer. The problem in those other years is that the Rockets had their own matchup issues, preventing them from meeting the Bulls.

    Exactly... and the problem is we were a horrible match up to the pre-drugged/pre-overweight Shawn Kemp.
