I am so sick of this response to Jordan's return. Go back and check the record. In his first game back against the Knicks I believe he dropped 50 points or so. The cover of SI was " He's Back". If he wasn't in shape, how'd he score like that? He also lost to a better team (Orlando) that year and the Rockets swept them. Please stop referring to how if Jordan was this or that. How does this sound? If the Bulls had met the Rockets in any of the championships during the early 90's the Rockets would have won, because the Rockets dominated the bulls. That statement has more merit because atleast the Rockets beat them head to head, regular season or not. This weak argument that if the bulls lhad played or jordan had been in shape is totally invalid. They didn't play so we'll never know. What is a fact is the Rockets have 2 rings and that's enough said.
Shady was he the same Jordan during the rest of the season or was he just hot for one game. This is silly. The guy is human and he got beat. Period, end of story. All the excuses need to stop. Can I use the same excuses for why the Rockets didn't get by Seattle during the playoff series when dream scored like 42 points and the Rockets lost preventing them from getting to the conf. finals?
