The Bulls were lucky to never face the Rockets in the NBA Finals. Olajuwon was a stronger opponent than the big guys Jordan faced in NBA Finals: Malone, Kemp and Barkley. Jordan got lucky to win his 6 NBA titles. Jordan never faced a strong team in the NBA Finals. |
Let's look at all the Bulls finals machups the 1990-91 Lakers where a bit past their prime but the Bulls had to detrone the two time champion Pistons to get to the finals. The 1991-92 Portland Trailblazers where a pretty good team they where the best team in the West and better then the Lakers team they beat for their first title. The 1992-93 Phoenix Suns where the best team in the West and Barkley was the regular season MVP the series could have easily went seven games its the best team they beat during their first treepeat. The 1995-96 Seatle Super Sonics where a pretty good team the series still went six games and it was a defensive struggle it was Jordan's worst finals perfomance since he barely averaged over 27 points in that series. The 1996-97 Utah Jazz where the best team in the West that year and Malone was the regular season MVP. The 1997-98 Utah Jazz team where the best team in the West. Malone was much better in that finals then he was in the previous one the series could have went seven games its the best team they beat during their second treepeat.
