THE BEST MESSAGE I'VE EVER HEARD IN NBA.

[mtorresjrzero]

Tim Tebow brought me here! He always reminds me of this famous speech.

[charlosgibson]

he sort of sounds like the old man off pet semetary lol

@gnemos The source of the quote is Olajuwon's profile there... Youtube doesn't let me post a link.

@SuperButtersfly Or, Quoting NBA.com:

"For those who would diminish those championships for coming during Michael Jordan's "retirement," consider that during the first "three-peat" from 1991-93, the Rockets posted a 5-1 record against the Bulls. And following a home loss in 1993, Jordan sat in the bowels of the old Chicago Stadium, shook his head and said, "It's a good thing those guys can't find their way to the Finals, because we don't have an answer for the big guy."

[gnemos]

@SuperButtersfly Well, I think Rockets had done enough proving before MJ's first retirement. Olajuwon's Rockets owned Bulls in the early 90s. Actually, throughout their careers, when counting the games when both Olajuwon and Jordan were on the court, then Rockets had a winning record against the Bulls.

@objectivefreedom All the evidences and data u showing only shows the greatness of MJ(after 1 and half year away from a professional area), i doubt that ppl would believe in what u saying "geting good records=the good situation of a team to win a championship." Or the MVP of the year should win the titile of the year for sure? is this what u r trying to say? Rocket is a great team, however they couldn't prove themself after MJ came back. that is the truth.

[SuperButtersfly]

@objectivefreedom MJ didn't make any excuse for himself, he just simply came back strong with 72 wins and 4-0, and giving Magics the best excuse for their lose in the 1996 off series, which is " MJ is ready this year" LOL

[objectivefreedom]

I honestly don't think the greatest basketball player in history who won 6 rings would be the type of guy that would make excuses for himself, so why then do others insist on making excuses for him?

[objectivefreedom]

For those who carry the water for MJ, they probably didn't know the Bulls had a 13-4 season record during the games MJ returned in, and he averaged 26 ppg. In the '95 playoffs, he averaged 31.5 ppg. Is that really "out of rhythm"? Furthermore, both the Rockets and Bulls had the same 47-35 season record that year, so what's the Bull's excuse? I honestly don't think the greatest basketball player in history who won 6 rings would be the kind of guy that would make excuses for himself, so why do ot
