    We're not fighting the media on this, we're fighting the NON BELIEVERS on this board.

    Fake video. Jordan had zero turnovers for his career and never lost a single playoff game. Get with the program.

    This is like saying, If Greg Oden never had injury problems he would have been better than Durant.

    When people think about the Jordan Bulls, they always imagine the 72-win Bulls. Nobody ever remembers that the Bulls had Grant in the front court for the first three, nobody during the Rockets years, and Rodman during the second three. Neither Rodman nor Grant could play Dream (all you Rodman fanboys go and watch the Spurs series... the man took his shoes off, laid down on the bench and quit--and remember he's not psyching out Dream like he did Karla by pretending(?) to be gay--NTTAWWT) and whatever stiffs the Bulls had for centers were worth only 6 fouls against Dream. I'm not saying it's an absolute given that we win in 94 if we have the Bulls instead of the Knicks, but I think so because that year the Bulls had no front court players that could handle OT, much less Dream. In 95, we were waiting but they could not make it through, primarily because they had no decent players down low. If we could have made it out of the west a few other years, it would have been great.

    Don't get me wrong....I think we kick the crap out of them and still win both titles with or without Jordan. Those were just our years. We matched up better with them than anyone else in the league.

    Correct. I believe even if Jordan had played the entire season, Hakeem and Clyde would have stopped him in the NBA Finals, if they got pass the Magic, which was not a guarantee by any means either.

    Bulls needed Rodman to become a truly dominant Team. Without Rodman they wouldn't have a chance those two years with Jordan. Heck Jordan may have not gotten past the knicks.

    Jordan needed the Sonics to win the 1993 ring.

    Jordan just became the GOAT thanks to that 7 year window he had with Pippen and Krause and PJ. If he was so amazing then he would have won before Pippen and PJ, he couldn't even get past the Pistons until they were old.

    If Bulls got Hakeem he would be the GOAT with at least 7 b2b rings. Hakeem wouldn't retire 3 times lol.

    Aren't you the same dumb ass that was saying that Dwight Howard was still a superstar (THIS YEAR)?

    Jordan never prevented Hakeem from doing anything. It’s not like the bulls were some obstacle the rockets couldn’t handle. They simply never played each other in the playoffs. The argument, as with most things Kellerman says, is stupid.

    Good thing Jordan retired or Lebron wouldn’t have any rings.

    Can we change the name of this thread to: "The All Inclusive - Max Kellerman Said Something Stupid Thread" and post all his hot garbage takes can fall into one dumpster ?!

    Why would I say that, I don't even watch Dwight's games so how would I know.

    Regardless whether I said that or not what does that have to do with Jordan and Hakeem?

    You think Hakeem won't win rings with Pippen, Rodman and a healthy cast instead of crack heads and a critically injured PF? You're the dumbass here not me :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    the newbs love Max Kellerman

    it's a disturbing trend when that's their daily go to for NBA analysis

    Also, if we quiz newbs about Jordan in 95, half would said he never played

    Hakeem needed nothing. He had the talent to succeed and the drive to want to cut your heart out.

    Kellerman is a weapons grade cr@p.

    Jordan himself has said he feared Hakeem. We beat them our fair share, straight up. Lastly, we swept an Orlando team anchored by shaq and penny. Don't get me wrong - Bulls and Magic aren't exactly apples to apples, but we swept a team that had a future hall of farmer that's within the best center ever conversation. Bulls had nothing comparable to Shaq at that time. Kellerman a fool.
