You being a huge Pippen fan, how mad were you when we got robbed at the Garden? Kind of sucks because Pippen's legacy would be looked at in a totally different way had he won a title without Jordan.
Ive always hated Hue Hollins.
He singlehandledly altered basketball history.
Pippens whole legacy would of been shed in a different light.
After the Knicks series, i have no doubt the Bulls would of gotten past the Pacers as the Bulls owned them in the 94 season.
Getting past Houston would of been a huge challenge for Cartwright with his 90 year old knees trying to defend Hakeem for a 7 game series.
But then again, im sure Phil would of rotated defensive assignments on Hakeem....
Other than that, The 94 Bulls and Rockets would of been a very good matchup..
They split the season series at 1 and 1.....Plus Hakeem and Pippen were the 2 names that constently came up for MVP.
Even though Hakeem won the honors, i felt Pippen was just as worthy.
He stepped up huge when Jordan left to go strike out at the plate trying to be Bo jackson.
Considering the Bulls only lost 2 more games than the season prior, had the 94 Bulls actually won the championship, it most certainly have tarnished Jordan's legacy at least a little.....
Also, Pippen wouldnt be called "Tonto" anymore had he won the 94 championship.
I used to wonder if the media calling Pippen, "Tonto" was racist considering that Scottie was the only player that has played in the NBA with Native American ancestry....
