Duncan did not like MJ, Maybe cuz he thinks he is better than MJ.But Jordan did not had that much help , like Robinson and Leonard. MJ is the Greatest, period !
I wasnt aware of this until now. Just went and looked up the 1998 Dan Patrick interview with rookie Duncan. That was immaturity on Duncan's part. Other guys came into the league like that too - Bryon Russell in 1994; Greg Anthony in 1992; Bobby Sura in 1996. They thought the NBA will be easy but then found out its nightmare where every team is after you. Duncan found out fast when he just couldnt beat Shaq/ Kobe Lakers for years. I remember Duncan always looking down in those years. Duncan couldn't win beyond that 99 shortened year unless he had a stacked team that won together by committee. Especially that one year they had Stephen Jackson, Claxton, Parker, Steve Smith, Ginobli, M. Rose, Robinson, Goldwire. Tbh I feel peak for peak Robinson and Karl Malone are better than Duncan. But thats just me. David Robinson especially is very underrated just cause Olajuwon destroyed him in 1994. But thats to Olajuwon's credit not Robinson's discredit.
Did Duncan say that?? How do you know he didn't like MJ?? MJ and Robinson were cool... I know they played a lot of Golf together when they were on the Dream Team
While this is true… back when the whole Dwight Howard and Shaq beef about ‘who’s the real Superman’ was going on and they were going back & forth… before a Spurs game a reporter (forgot which one) asked Tim Duncan which one did he think was the real Superman, and he answered by saying something close to ‘how about the one with those 6 rings’. So, at the very least he respected him.
Man my two favourite teams. This would have made for an amazing Finals series. The Bulls are my GOAT team, Michael IS the GOAT, but Pop is my GOAT coach.
@TheULMOnaut… Just watched the Bulls vs the Tim Hardaway, Alonzo Mourning, Jamal Mashburn, Dan Majerle, Vashaun Leonard, Sasha Danilovic’, PJ Brown Miami Heat.
16:38 skip was a wrinkle MJ added to his game in 98 season. And he had all kinds of variations of it that year too. I remember watching the 1998 season and MJ saying he was reaching a Jedi-like level where he was searching for a game on different plane not visible to the eye of any player in history. It wouldve been glorious to see what 1999 MJ couldve looked like if the lockout never happened.
So a year later this Spurs team won the NBA Finals because the 2 jerry's decided everyone but MJ is "over the hill" and end their own dynasty! Does anyone who reads this believe that this same Bull's team could not have come back & at least defended their Title? I know the Pacers were coming & I'm not saying beating the Spurs would not have been a real task given how good Robinson & Duncan had become & how lacking the Bulls were at center! What I am saying is that this Bulls team had enough left to win the Eastern Conference in 99' & Michael Jordan playing in the NBA Finals is the deciding factor!
If the Spurs won that OT game 2 at Utah, this matchup might have been the NBA Finals in 1998

Agreed!! Funny because I don’t think David Robinson liked him either

Crazy enough this was Dennis’ first time playing in San Antonio, he was injured both times in 96 and 97.
Bulls play SA 2x a year. Rodman missed 4 games vs SA in 96 and 97?
@@meg-k-waldren they played 1 time a year in San Antonio. It’s one game home, one away, when teams are from diferent conferênces.
This would've been a 1999 Finals preview if the Bulls had brought everyone back for 1 last run in the shortened lockout year.

6 HOF’ers on one court!
Yeah watered down eh?

Not to mention two coaches who are and will be in the HOF
