    The entire podcast is worth listening to, but the portion about Bulls vs Rockets starts at 15:32

    As you can imagine, he believes the Bulls would've won with a non-baseball playing Jordan.

    How exactly would Jordan "find a way to take away Hakeem's dominance"? Would he have guarded him and gotten destroyed in the post?

    Grant needs to take off his homer goggles.

    The more important question would be:

    Which team would be a better matchup against those Bulls teams: the 93/94 team or the 94/95 team?

    93-94. OT and Hakeem owned the paint.

    The only way any BULLs center could take Dream would be with an elbow to his right orbit :mad: .

    He said the same thing about Shaq and the 01-02 Lakers team, which Horace was on.


    Horace also said that he and Harvey would destroy the Morris twins 2 on 2. :grin:

    The same way Jordan dominated Shaq and took him out of the game......when Shaq went for 24 and 13 for the series......that Jordan lost.

    Honestly what is he supposed to say? He's defending his team.

    Ask Otis, Max, Sam, etc, you'd hear a different answer most likely.

    The whole putting an * by our championships just gets tired and old. We won those two championships, it's over, it's done. No * by it. We didn't cheat, this isn't the home run record we're talking about.

    Time to get over all this. The fact is nobody knows what would have happened if Jordan had played, the only thing we do know is we have two banners from those years hanging from our ceiling.

    MJ needs to worry about containing Mad Max to be honest.

    Vernon had solid outings against Jordan and the Bulls IIRC (I was like 9 or 10 at the time the Bulls won their first championship). It's a given that Jordan will get his, but if his direct opposition can put up 18-25 points a night as well it takes away a big part of Chicago's strategy considering we had the best center in the NBA that would have destroyed the Longleys, Cartwrights, Haleys, etc that Chicago would have thrown at us.

    Don't blame Dream because Jordan couldn't get past Shaq.

    I hate this. Our head-to-head record against the Bulls when we had Hakeem and they had Jordan was always really good. Not only that, Jordan played well over half of the regular season in 95 and the entire playoffs.....and they lost the the Magic in the playoffs (who we swept) because they didn't have anybody that could even come close to slowing down the 'not-as-good-as-Hakeem' Shaquille O'Neal.
