People don't know how hard this move is. The way we finger roll now, it's just to make it look smooth and fancy. You will rarely see it used as an actual weapon to score over somebody bigger than you. Floaters are so much easier for that
@sera7ares He got one in 1995. He was traded to the Rockets and helped them sweep Orlando for the championship. Drexler averaged 21.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. That's truly remarkable!
@sera7ares Clyde was 2nd best player against Detroit, LA, and Chicago in 3 straight postseasons. Liked the guy, even though not a Blazer fan, but it wasn't just because that his teammates weren't up to snuff. However, I will say that Port were the faves in 91. For whatever reason, they were one of those teams that looked like they were going to win all season, but at key moments or in key games in the POs, they always seemed to screw up.
for those who want to know. the Rockets dominated the Bulls from 90-93 during the Bulls first 3 titles with a.5-1...that is the only thing we know for a fact....how the Bulls and Rockets would've fared in the Finals...who knows..
okay and you obviously stick to Hakeem's. whats your point. how can expect people not to wonder. MJ left no reasons to believe he was slowing down. Im a believer the layoff did more good than bad. probably what let him come back and still be as great as he was. dont you Kobe could benefit from 18 months off? anyhow, those Houston squads wrere sick. Horry, K. Smith, Cassels, Thorpe... trust me I know my ball. u aint speaking to some pink 15 year old Beiber looking kid. Im 32, tape delayed
@jaymtl79 ...games, PLAYOFF GAMES, I had to watch cause the NBA was still a joke and my pops was a huge fan so I watched all the real ballers do their thing. Magic, Larry, Isiah, Tom Chambers, Larry Nace, when Clyde used to really glide, young MJ... the real deal mother fuckers not the divas we got in the L 2day. so yes, I'll stick by my opinion that Chicago would have taken it from Houston but we will never know. Im sure that wouldve been the series for the ages.
Wow, do you know anything about Clyde's career? Have you ever heard of something called the 1995 NBA Finals? I'm pretty sure Clyde in fact has something you call an NBA Championship ring.
I stand corrected. I'm not a fan of his. I'm mostly familiar with him from the years when the Pistons where burying daggers in his heart. I had completely forgotten his tenure with Houston (during MJ's hiatus from basketball.)
Um, actually, Michael Jordan was playing basketball the year Clyde won his ring with the Rockets.
The Bulls got knocked out of the playoffs by the team Houston swept in the Finals. That would be the Orlando Magic, who wrapped up that series when Nick Anderson stole the ball from Jordan.
@darockk Should you ever meet Clyde Drexler, ask him how it felt when Vinnie Johnson hit that famous jump shot on June 19, 1990, with 00.7 seconds left on the clock. I'd be surprised if he wouldn't equate it with being stabbed in the heart.
@PrkchpsNaplsaws It's called a TEAM for a reason stupid fuck. You rely on a TEAM NOT ONE PLAYER! Clyde Drexler is one of the best basketball players of all time. He's in the hall of fame for a reason.
@PrkchpsNaplsaws JORDAN IS THE GREATEST EVER BUT CLYDE WAS REALLY GREAT TO AND THERE WERE SOME GREAT BATLLES BETWEEN THESE TWO!CLYDE LED PORTLANT IN 2 NBA FINALS AGAINST 2 OF THE GREATEST TEAMS EVER(PISTONS 90 AND BULLS 92) AND THEY WERE VERY COMPETITIVE!THEN HE AND HAKEEM FACED THE FAVORITE ORLANDO(SHAQ,PENNY,H.GRANT) AND WON 4-0!FROM TODAYS STARS LEBRON'S STYLE IS SIMILAR.
@ebkfoster Mike got back from playing baseball so yeah nobody gives a shit about the rockets championships...If you play any sport you should know it is not easy taking 2 years off you fucking moron. Thanks for playing.
@ajsox23 He took 18 months off, not two years. You say nobody cares about the Rocket's championships, because Mike was off his game when he got back, but you probably jock the cock for his double-nickle in '95. Mike's the GOAT, but don't disrespect what Glide and Dream did in '95.
@ebkfoster I am not disrespecting Clyde and the Dream. Two amazing players. But if Michael hadn't retired it wouldn't have happened. He was the most competitive athlete of all time.
1. The Bulls had been to the ECF or further in 89, 90, 91, 92 and 93. There's no telling whether they would have had the stamina to get to the Finals in 94 or 95.
2. Olajuwon in 1994 and 1995 was as good as MJ ever was. MJ had the better career, and did it for longer, but during those two years, Hakeem was unreal. Just watch, for example, Game 4 against Utah in 95.
3. MJ actually played in 95. He wasn't retired, and yet Houston won.
@badpdx he was retired u jackass thats the season he came back to the NBA from baseball. he'd been out for 18 months so that dude that was on the Bulls wearing 45 and 23 was Michael Jordan, he wasnt MICHAEL JORDAN. pulled your head out your ass and get your facts straight. the Dream was great but never was he a great as MJ not even for a New York minute.
@ajsox23 Yeah he was the most competitive athlete of all time but in 93' after the 3 championships and his father passing he had no "motivation" to continue the game of basketball. Jordan said it in his own retirement press conference. If Jordan had played that season it certainly would have been their hardest championship to win under those circumstances and the fact that The Rockets gave Bulls hell in early 90's. It took Jordan returning and failing in 95' to get that real "motivation" back.
@2008sALINAs Im 32 and love MJ to death but there is another theory as to why he retired. mad speculation about gambling, not his games like Pete Rose but on basketball none the less. supposedly, it was more a suspension and they called it retiring so the NBA could save face and MJ could keep his image spotless. am I saying all this is cold hard fact, NO but still u gotta wonder. imagine MJ going down in flames like LBJ in the media. they just wouldnt let it happen.
@ebkfoster that wasnt MJ so enough with your twisted reality. the man had been gone from the game for 18 months. what happened in 96 shows you how much of difference a year makes, and adding Rodman didnt hurt either. yes Houston did it but still they didnt take it away from the real champs. people will always remember the fact MJ was gone how can you not.
@jaymtl79 So what were they suppose to do? Not have the playoffs because Mike was off doing his baseball thing? Houston did win. Period. Would Mike and co. stopped them? Maybe, but you'll never know for sure. Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time, but you guys stay on his balls like bees on honey.
@1987Hawkeyes : Well, the average goer probably doesn't know that. The 1995 NBA Finals was a pretty forgettable series (4-0 sweep). Sometimes I even forget that he got that ring.
Doctor J and Wilt Chamberlain had pretty good finger rolls too. Iceman has said that he patterned his finger roll after Wilt's and Doctor J's and combined the two.
Doesn't look like anything but actually a difficult move to do
