Duncan did not like MJ, Maybe cuz he thinks he is better than MJ.But Jordan did not had that much help , like Robinson and Leonard. MJ is the Greatest, period !
16:38 skip was a wrinkle MJ added to his game in 98 season. And he had all kinds of variations of it that year too. I remember watching the 1998 season and MJ saying he was reaching a Jedi-like level where he was searching for a game on different plane not visible to the eye of any player in history. It wouldve been glorious to see what 1999 MJ couldve looked like if the lockout never happened.
So a year later this Spurs team won the NBA Finals because the 2 jerry's decided everyone but MJ is "over the hill" and end their own dynasty! Does anyone who reads this believe that this same Bull's team could not have come back & at least defended their Title? I know the Pacers were coming & I'm not saying beating the Spurs would not have been a real task given how good Robinson & Duncan had become & how lacking the Bulls were at center! What I am saying is that this Bulls team had enough left to win the Eastern Conference in 99' & Michael Jordan playing in the NBA Finals is the deciding factor!
Man my two favourite teams. This would have made for an amazing Finals series. The Bulls are my GOAT team, Michael IS the GOAT, but Pop is my GOAT coach.

If the Spurs won that OT game 2 at Utah, this matchup might have been the NBA Finals in 1998
6 HOF’ers on one court!
Crazy enough this was Dennis’ first time playing in San Antonio, he was injured both times in 96 and 97.
