18. "Please define "not that good"" In response to In response to 3
Teams with MVP's? Check.
HOF's? Check.
Finals experience? Check (Lakers, Blazers and Utah)
Jazz had 62 wins in 98 and 64 in 97. The Sonics won 64 in 96. Suns won 62.

Wait...didn't Dirk and co. get sonned by Baron fucking Davis and choked away a title to Miami before Bron got there? Sure Dirk balled out but NOT better than Barkley in 93.

You do realize you just dissed Shaq with 5 yrs of exp, David Robinson (with a rookie duncan none the less that won the title the very next season), Kobe with 2 yrs under his belt, Garnett with 3?

The Spurs? Prolly better than any of the teams the bulls played. The Mavs? No. Of the teams the Bulls played, I think that Dal team would lose to 4-5 of them. The Thunder? A team in it's first finals? No. Utah, Seattle, Phx and Portland woulda beat last years Thunder.
You mofo's love to throw rocks at the throne tho. So I'ma let ya'll cook. Have at it.
