The Rockets needed 7 games to beat the Knicks in 94 and really only won because John Starks shot like 3-for-293848484 (it was actually 11% ... but 11%, lol) from the field to win game 7.
MJ was waiting for Hakeem in the Finals many times. Hakeem got beat by Kemp/Payton (badly) in 96, Stockton/Malone in 97 despite having Barkely and Drexler, etc. Not MJ's fault that Olajuwon couldn't get out of his own conference the *six* times he was in the Finals. Plenty of opportunity was given. Hakeem would then get knocked out in the first round with Barkley and Pippen on his team.
Hakeem was a good player, but he's not even one of the top 10 players of all time, Jordan is the best ever. Lets be real here.
