Re: NBA season 2019/20 - Purgatory

Were the 1991 Finals the first Finals broadcast in NZ?

Maybe the year previously?

YouTube has all 5 games up, FFS. Kids today have it so good!

Re: NBA season 2019/20 - Purgatory

I've heard it said that Magic had a better career than Bird, but that peak Bird was better than peak Magic. Fwiw Interesting. Maybe because Bird was the better defender? Tough for me to say - I got to see neither in their prime. NBA "Classic Games" has helped a ton, but not enough... First NBA game...

Re: NBA season 2019/20 - Purgatory

I'd say MJ breaks Durant's will by game 2, and he spends the rest of the series focusing on which franchise he's going to next... in the meantime getting beaten up by an ageing Rodman, fresh off a 24 hr Vegas binge. :nod: Well that's easy... https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FYKP0OJNXqY/hqdefault.jpg Damn... ...

Interesting hypothetical from @Westgate_LV: 2016-17 @warriors would be 6.5-point favorites against MJ-led 1995-96 Bulls on a neutral court.

If Lebron played under the old rules he'd kill Jordan and Rodman. Lebron is a beast physical wise. Rodman had no problem with the likes of Karl Malone who was a tank.
