That Laker team had 'experience' with a different core, we know that '91 team was Magic dragging them there.

The other two had experience losing.

We're talking second three-peat & I said what I said. You don't need to Google win totals.

Tell me why those Jazz teams were better than the 07 Spurs or 11 Thunder.

So you really brought up *the other time* they went to the Finals to cyse the Sonics?

Sure

yup, those Del Harris Shaq squads couldn't get it together mentally, they were immature & undisciplined.

David

Yup. DRob was never winning anything, was considered having fallen off by then. Duncan was the difference maker which manifested itself by his second year & the Jazz were never heard from again.

>Kobe with 2 yrs under his belt,
yeah dude, he was 19 then reading his poetry on the Cindy Crawford Show, you trying to make my point for me?

So? 21, playing on an expansion team, never good enough to carry a team on his own anyway.

Your case is making mine.

Disagree. Suns only team with a shot.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA

Please. Nobody's coming to take rings away. I got nothing against MJ. Just don't try to sell me on those foes being some murderer's row because they weren't. The late-90's West was a joke.
