    This is a random 5 minutes of the game.
    Jordan had a nice alley oop dunk, but for you Rocket fans here note the SCORE BOARD. Also, Stacey King on Dream? you kidding me?
    look how physical those old teams played.

    This sounds like the WGN broadcasters too.

    Teach the Rocket n00bs, tinman, for they not know that Jordan wasn't that great.

    How old is Maxwell? I wish we had a player like that on our team, and we thought we had it in Artest but he hasnt shown much yet.

    what the people really need to see is how physically stronger our front line was compared to theirs.

    I mean Jordan is the one who has to try to score in the paint cause those other dudes suck. Stacy King, Scott Williams? We're putting HORRY in the paint against these guys!

    Note how fast Jordan is and note how Max could stay with him.
    its kinda like Kobe vs Pierce.

    Nice alley oop by Pippen, too bad he couldn't play like that when he was with the Rockets.

    calm down, man... theres a reason why hes called the G.O.A.T. While I understand and agree with the point being made, lets not lose objectivity here and devalue the greatness of jordan.

    No one here thinks Jordan wasn't great. he's probably the best guard to play the game.

    No one thinks Maxwell is better than Jordan.
    HOWEVER.. We know Maxwell played great D on Jordan.

    Same thing with Pierce vs Kobe. Pierce isn't better than Kobe, but he Ds him up pretty well. Even last night's loss. Kobe's shoot % was bad vs Pierce.

    People devalue the greatness of the 90s Rockets. And here's some video proof that it wasn't some cake walk that Jordan would go down the lane with ease (like he did with every other team in the NBA).

    We were posting up ROBERT HORRY against their front line. think about that.

    Yeah, jordan wasn't that great. Pippen should have been the real star.

    Mad Max didn't back down for anybody. He took it right at Jordan after the alley-oop. Was that a Winston Garland sighting at the beginning?

    Gawd, I miss those days. When Artest would have been just another player. Artest was born 10 years too late. I think all the suspensions and fines have taken it's toll on him.

    Artest was nothing compared to mad max. Artest has never tried to hit a teammate with a dumbell.

    Oh, gosh, what was the point difference? 5 points or something? Is it a big deal or proof of anything?

    Mad Max was a terrible human being.
