Ok first I gotta admit that I'm a converted Rocket fan because of Yao. But since the TMac trade looks like everybody got very excited, and expectations keep growing bigger. I myself can't wait till the new season starts and I got a question for you long time fans: which season was the most anticipated since 90s? I'm sure every season of the Dream era would be exciting but how did those seasons compare to the our new YMac season?
To answer your question... For me the last season that held this much promise was the 99 lockout season starring our favorite anti-hero, Scottie Quitten. It's almost too painful to bring up , but the thought of adding the best complementary superstar in the game to our already-HOF roster was too good to be true. And then it wasn't true, and real Pippen showed his stripes. Let's hope Tmac and Yao figure out the elusive chemistry that never formed between Barkley, Hakeem and Quitten.
I know it's a good anticipation when i am driving down the street and see the billboard of TMAC and Yao and i just started to smile...haven't had that in a while.
