McNabb thinks he's a HOFer

And Trix are for me!

He had the same exact winning percentage as Dan Marino did.....................not saying he is Dan Marino, but the guy was a winner in Philly and if he had a great team around him, especially at WR (sans one year of Owens) I would bet he would have won a lot more.

No kidding. Barkley and Malone are easily the two greatest PF's of all-time*, and neither has a ring.

*Duncan is not a PF. He is a 7' pivot, who prefers his back to the basket. He's a center with a PF next to his name.

They, like many other great teams of the late eighties and early nineties, had the extreme misfortune of playing at the same time as jordan.

Agreed. And along with that theme, McNabb's best team got beat by one of the greatest dynasties ever in the SB.

That was only one game though, whereas IIRC every team that was great during the Jordan era was foiled multiple times, not least of which was your Jazz.

I was still living in TN, so I cared nothing for the Jazz and was actually a big MJ fan (who wasn't?). In hindsight I wish the Jazz had won it, though.

People actually like the Jazz?!?

They are kind of enfuriating. I'd say Kanter is better than Big Al right now, but Jefferson leads the team in minutes, and Kanter is 13th on the team in minutes.

Also, dunk champ Jeremy Evans has been spectacular when he gets burn, but he gets even less playing time than Kanter.

No offense to baker, but as a group, worst behaved fans in the nba

Eh, I could see McNabb getting in, but he's definitely going to be waiting a long time if he gets in at all...

I'll own if it's true, and this is 100% true. It's kind of embarrassing. I've apologized to visiting fans more than once.

Jazz fans? Really? I just can't imagine why

My father always talk about how that Sonics team gave the Bulls the best series, and how if they had one more scorer, they would have won that title. He says The Glove played spectacular in that series he says.

I don't see it like that at all. The '96 Bulls were just the most dominant team ever. The Sonics could've won it all most years.

Kemp = 19.6 ppg, .631 TS%
Payton = 19.3 ppg, .554 TS%
Schrempf = 17.1 ppg, .598 TS%
Hawkins = 15.6 ppg, .603 TS%

You can't ask for more scoring than that. They were #2 in the league in PPG. On top of that, those TS%'s are ridiculous (.530 is league average).

Seattle, Utah, Phoenix, LA and Portland all had teams good enough to win the title during that stretch, but IIRC no team the MJ Bulls played in the playoffs won more than two games.
