@Soundtrack1000 When did it happen?

[Soundtrack1000]

@KWCline91 Playoffs.

Did Hakeem's block on Kevin Johnson at 6:07 occur in the regular season or in the playoffs?

@dodogrko 63, actually. But that does not matter once you reach the Playoffs, cause mentality of the players changes there. Sonics were cocky and careless in the Denver series, and Denver punished them for it cause they underestimated their opponent despite being a #8 team. Shawn Kemp was stupid enough to say in the interviews after Game 2 that it would be a sweep. Big mistake, cause Denver proved him wrong. Guess he learned to keep his mouth shut after that.

@doddi1984 you forget the Sonics won 62 games and were the best team in the NBA that season.

[doddi1984]

@dodogrko Why do you say that? Teams like Utah & Houston were better teams in that time. I don't think they would have gotten past Utah even.

And the Knicks 94 was the best team in the East. I mean, who in Sonics could stop Ewing in the middle? Or Stark's 3-pointers which even were a problem for Rockets? Plus, they had a great point-guard in Derek Harper, and a hard worker in Charles Oakley.

If it would have been Sonics Vs. Knicks in 94 Finals, I think Knicks would have won that series 4-2.

Sonics would of won the title this year if they got past the first round.

Respond to this video... mj still took the knicks to 6 games. If the Bulls could do that without mj im sure they would have knocked off the knicks with MJ. That being said it took the rockets 7 games to knock off the Knicks which were not as talented the Bulls with MJ. And I'm glad hoston beat the knicks with "heart," and "clutch." That being said how can you use that argument against the Bulls then? I mean you did watch MJ kill the Sonics and Jazz right even with the flu?

@ryler05 Wow I would love to hear that sound bite giving mad max that much credit. Also I checked the numbers Maxwell never held jordan under 10 pts. In fact the fewest pts mj had on max was 16 when max was with the spurs in 97. Also in the h2h match up mj only avg 30.6 with a 49.8% from the field and 42.6 3pt% 5.9 reb and 4.9 assist against max. I agree Hakeem was better than Ewing but as I said I think the Hoston wings would have struggled to get him the ball. I mean the Bulls without...

@atm1919 Ok Actually vernon maxwell could gaurd mj very well MJ once said "The 2 players I had the hardest time scoring against was Joe Dumars and Vernon Maxwell. Hakeem was a better center than Ewing for sure. Mad max held Jordan to only 9 points in one game. MJ also said that he would put Hakeem as greatest center of all time. Plus Houston was Clutch city they had heart. Knicks were not clutch at all more like choke. Not saying houston would win but people cant just say the bulls would win
