      The 90's was a watered down league, you kidding? It's why the bulls won six. There was no competition! The Jazz, Trailblazers, Sonics and Suns weren't exactly dynasties, not even close. Teams the bulls played against in the finals.

      @@reformedgringle show us the super teams in the 90's then. Go ahead, I'll take your argument apart right in front of you.
      I never compared the 90's to todays league. You did! I was merely pointing out why the bulls won so many rings. It was a joke of a league.
      The real super teams were in the 1980's with LAL, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia and even Houston.
      The bulls didn't have to contend with a super talented league like that.
      Teams in the 90's had basically one star on it and the bulls simply had the deepest bench in the league, is why they won all of those rings.
      And to prove that point further, look at all of the teams they faced in the finals? Anyone could make it to the finals in those days. The 90's was watered down man and you know it!

    Murasan was a legit threat before his injuries, not just tall.
    He was voted most improved in 1995. 14.5ppg, 9.total rebound , 3.3 offensive. 2.3 block on 58% shooting. Not only 7’7” with 7’10” wingspan but probably about 330 or 340 then and strong.
    He was a very tough inside force offensively, tough on the boards, and defensively disruptive.

Again, continuing with my example of the White Hockey Player attacking a Black Player, there would be a Major Protest and the White Hockey Player would be thrown out of the League and possibly arrested.
      The same standard should apply in Basketball when Black Player harrass and assault Non-Blacks like Whites and Asians. There may also have been an Anti-Semitic angle to this if the Russian player was also Jewish or partially Jewsih.

Meanwhile, the offense flowed through Olajuwon and he anchored the defense while expecting to gather most of the rebounds.
