      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.

    This is why people loved him. I never heard an announcer during a Hockey game say they should just play the game, or he's acting like a kid. He wasn't out there throwing left hooks and uppercuts.

    I watched him for years, he was a master of Distracting the opposition. My biggest disappointment was MJ not showing up to his Hall of fame night.. he earned his appearance.
