The Rockets were gifted two championships because MJ decided he wanted to play baseball and/or gambled too much. The basketball gods will keep holding them down for a while.

Were you even alive when they won? Did you even watch one of their games that year? Or are you just pushing a narrative you read about form some ESPN columnist? This is one of the dumbest (and honestly pointless) arguments that keeps coming back. Move on.

MJ was definitely suspended for those two years (ironically today is the anniversary of when he came back from suspension).

You dont go from being 3 straight finals MVPs to go play AA baseball. Thats you trying to stay in shape for when you come back.

I cant think of anyone outside of Rockets fans or Jordan haters that would disagree either

Man, Rose can still look like a legit NBA talent in spurts.  I know he hasn't shown that he can consistently play well, but I still #bullieve.

Russ could average a triple double again this season if he averages 12 boards a game the rest of the way.

Can we low key talk about how Abdel Nader got fouled shooting a three, Gentry getting a technical, and yet he still missed all four free throws...

why is this guy rostered?

I just don't think MJ gifted them titles

He did play in 95 and they were eliminated.

Came next next year with rodman and rattled off 3 more.


Plus Hakeem is an all time great. All all time

no one said he's not worth a minimum

But if no team offered him more than a minimum after his last season then you got problems

He's in good shape. As a backup I think he's pretty good on the right team. A team that preferably has shooting

health reasons

Let's just hold off until we know for sure. He could be in serious pain for all we know. Not fair to judge yet

MJ averaged 31/7/5 in the playoffs that year. He was fine

Maybe his team was burnt
Maybe they needed help, hence the rodman accusition

I wonder how much better Hakeem would have been if he wasn't fasting for a month every year.
