    Almost tearing watching this, everyone that loves basketball should watch this and understand how great these runs were. Hakeem was very patient, and finally got the crew together to take it to the promised land. I was a teen watching the NBA, and we loved The Dream. It is a part of our childhood seeing him rise up and do it in such a classy way.

    Hey, Vernon, I was the guy you always saw and spoke with at the Galleria Dillards. Nice seeing ya again. Y’all are wonderful. How ‘bout Hakeem? That’s the best ever Center in NBA. Mario Ellie has got the most swag though.

    Yeah, no. MJ doesn't retire and you add Kukoc to that first 3-peat team, nobody's beating the Bulls in '94. That team won 55 games and got completely hosed out of eliminating the same Knicks team that had the Rockets on the ropes big time. All without the GOAT. If there's one thing the 91-93 Bulls teams were missing, it was an offensive spark and playmaker off the bench who could spell both Jordan and Pippen for some minutes. Kukoc would have been that guy, and he proved to be a big time clutch player as a rookie to boot.

    If you know the history of the Rockets, then you would understand their struggle starting in 1987. It's actually remarkable how the championship team was put together in just 2 years.
