>Finals experience? Check (Lakers, Blazers and Utah) > 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.
>Jazz had 62 wins in 98 and 64 in 97. The Sonics won 64 in 96. >Suns won 62. > 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.

David >Robinson (with a rookie duncan none the less that won the >title the very next season), 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?
>Garnett with 3? > So? 21, playing on an expansion team, never good enough to carry a team on his own anyway.
Your case is making mine.

>The Thunder? A team in it's first finals? No. Utah, Seattle, >Phx and Portland woulda beat last years Thunder. > 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.
