Let me set this up. Hypothetically Olajuwon & Drexler are the better duo and defeat Shaq & Penny. From this point the Olajuwon & Drexler duo should decline as the Shaq & Penny tandem improves. This is a rule of time and age but Kemp & Payton were better than Malone & Stockton as they made the finals first. As Payton & Kemp decline Malone & Stockton improve, Malone wins MVP and they go on to the finals twice. You could argue that Seattle had the better surrounding players but I won't. Crazy crazy stuff.
I'm lost, what was that meant to mean? IMHO Karl and John got better because back in Kemp and Payton's days the pick-n-roll was gaurded alot better.
Utah only passed Seattle because they canned George Karl. It was the coaches, not the players, in that one.
just curious what everyone though about what will happen with payton.. stay a sonic this year or what? nvermind lol right after posting that i saw another thread about a trade rumor involving payton
