    "Houston: two championship wins in the 90s. Utah: two championship losses. Thank you Michael Jordan"

    you have to realize, stuart scott was implying that we only won because MJ wasn't in the league. as well as saying that utah didn't win one because of MJ. I wouldn't be all happy about that comment personally.

    Yep it was a compliment, especially considering that the Rockets won their two with MJ out of the league. But still Rockets have 2, Jazz have 0 either way you look at it.

    The Magic beat the Bulls with Jordan before the finals.

    Shhh, wouldn't want the idiot sportscasters to know the truth. MJ is probably one of Stuart Scott's "dawgs" just like Shaq, who is clearly better than Yao, like Scott said at the beginning of the season.

    Jordan played and dropped 50 in the playoffs. The Bulls lost because they did not have anybody in the post who could rebound, or defend, thus the Magic kicked their butts. If Jordan were at his best with that roster, they still would have got their asses kicked by the '95 Rockets. Hakeem was dominant and the team was playing at a very high level. They beat 3 60 win teams and one team who won 59. Nobody was going to beat them that year. The revisionist history is disgusting.

    Hakeem was the best player in basketball when we won the championships.

    I would think that by the time you played 27 games you would be in "basketball" shape. I hate that argument.
