1997 NBA Finals Jazz vs. Bulls Game 6 (part 4)

Looks like Byron Russells shot clock violation came back to haunt the Jazz when Eisley suffered the opposite fate.

You're damn right, but the sports writers who are allowed to vote on the NBA MVP always use winning your division as a criteria and Utah finally did overcome Houston with Malone showing a statistical improvement in most major categories. Im a Jordan fanatic so I wasn't so happy about him not gettin his 5th MVP to match the Finals MVP, but that's how these guys calculate value? MJ was obviously the MVP!

The KOBE comparisons?Jordan NEVER lost a NBAchampionship, never went ICE cold in the Finals

@MakaveliToussaint

are you freaking serious?

@johnnyfive222

Yeah Kobe went ice in game 5 and if you watch the after game interview he said to espn analyst (stu scott i think) I dont know how we won that game. Also, Jordan NEVER went ice in the finals and Kobe got shut completely down in 2004, and Chauncey won the MVP. So yeah JohnnyFive, Kobe went ice twice and Jordan never did.

Get your facts right

wow get pissy over basketball. Get whiney and go cry to your momma

[sweatyshorts]

@MakaveliToussaint Actually MJ had 2 terrible shooting nights vs Seattle in '96 in Game 4 (23 pts, 6 of 19, 31% shooting, 0-2 from 3—also 4 turnovers and just 2 assists) and Game 6 (22 pts, 5 of 19, 26% FG%, 1-3 3PT) and also Game 6 in '98 when he went 9-26, which is 34%.

"Never" is a bit of an exaggeration, but I ran the numbers, and MJ's FG% for each Finals: for '91: 57% (!!!), for '92: 53%, for '93: 51%, for '96: 40%, for '97: 45%, for '98: 42% - average for Finals: 48%.

MJ way fucking > Kobe

Malone and his missed free throws gosh he failed in this series...

[thepootpootable]

@Cwm368 hard to watch lol he takes forever to take his shot then fails

[chiasmafora]

Jordan and Malone both starting with bad shooting from the field, but MJ is hitting the free throws. Whos the real MVP?!
