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. 

Well Hakeem is easily on of the top ten centers or power forwards.  Plus people sure like to forget that he got to finals before Jordan did he just lost to a much better Celtics team the first time around.  Also thoughout his career Jordan pretty much always had a better supporting cast than Hakeem had the only time that wasn't true was in college.  Hakeem's University of Houston teams where all loaded with talent.
