Van Excel was a problem!!!
72 & 10! Greatest Team Ever!
The Lakers really had a super solid team, the refs favors the bulls in calls, that’s why they won, MJ most of the time travels, but only called one time, even the announcers were saying, MJ does that move most of the time, 2 blocks by Shaq was called a foul, especially on MJ who is always a superstar call, and most of the nba players, if you get too close to Michael it will surely be a foul. Shaq blocks Puppen and clearly the ball is still going way up, but the refs called a goal tending. Eddie Jones deserves to be on that Lakers championship team, he shouldn’t be traded together with Elden Campbell, He was like the smooth fire and ice operator, EVERYTIME the Bulls would make a run, he was like a fireman and will deliver and stop the Bulls run, costly turnovers and poor free throw shooting hurts the Lakers in the endgame. The Bulls were so lucky that they didn’t met the Lakers in the Finals, because the NBA league, wants the Bulls to win, that’s why the Jazz got the favorable calls in the western Finals. If the Lakers faces the Bulls in the Finals, there’s no way the Bulls would win the championship. Just look at the regular season the Lakers have beaten the Bulls by over 20 points, this is the one game that the Bulls played catch up and won. And there also when Shaq was under the basket, and was fouled hard and no flagrant foul was being called
This is Basketball! Both Teams and all Players are defending, rebounding ,hustling, and scoring. No Flopping, No Drama, No Complaining, No Load Managing, and Most of All No Stat Paddling. Unlike the Soft era of today we're there is no defense at all and is full of stat PADDLING and FLOPPING lead by the fraudulent, Stat Paddling, Load Managing, Super Team Jumping, Drama Queen LeBron James aka LESTATPAD/LEBALCO/LECHOKE, LEFLOP/ LELOSER
Del Harris sucks
