I\'m really starting to think of Richmond and feeling frusterated here. This guy should be over Hunter at the least.... Hell even Madsen has more play time than him....

Edit: I need to get some rest now, I have this place I go to called school or something. I guess its important. Anyways, later.

...trade him to the Bulls for Marcus Fizer!

Fizer - about 6\'8, played for Iowa State. He was the main reason why Iowa State had a National Title push about 2 years ago, the year that Michigan State won it. MSU Beat Iowa State in the Section Finals, winner to the Final Four, MSU as the 1 seed, ISU as the 2...that game was considered to be the real national title, those were the 2 best teams in the country to most people\'s opinion.

So yeah uhm...GET FIZER! You will win all the national titles, rah.

See Yuz.
What do Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Matt Clement, and Carlos Zambrano have in common?

They\'re the pieces to the next great pitching rotation of our time, what else?

GO CUBS!

I\'m sorry Shaq isn\'t the best IMO.  Time Duncan earned that MVP.  I remember when he dished out 53 pts.  in a game this season.

I agree totally with your thoughts about Van Exel and Eddie Jones.  Nick was definitly the MAN.  Let\'s see.. back then it was.. Eddie, Van Exel, Elden, Ceballos..  i forget who else.  Elden, I never really liked all that much.  But I do wish the Lakers could have kept Eddie Jones instead of opting for Glen Rice.  I liked Rice a lot, but I personally like Eddie better.  And I also wish Phil Jackson had become coach before they traded Van Exel.  If it wasnt for Del Harris, I still think Van Exel would be a Laker today.

you guys are forgetting that during the bulls run, whenever they played shaq, they put rodman on him.

and rodman played him better than anybody ive ever seen.

Shaq would be quite weighed down by the three headed monster of the Bulls with Longley, Wennington and Bison Dele (I think) but would still get some points, however he may get frustrated with 18 fouls coming at him, and Rodman grabbing all the boards.  So I\'d say Shaq would be in the low 20\'s with maybe9-10 boards.

Pippen and Fox, Fox wouldn\'t stand a chance, he might score 10 points tops, but would be picked a couple times, and Pippen would have 20.

Harper vs Fisher, well this would be a wash, with little scoring coming here, except Harper possibly wasting Fisher in the low blocks (he was quite a low post player)

Now at PF, Rodman would have some good numbers on the boards 15-20, and would help on weakside defence against Shaq, maybe getting a steal or two.  But Hory would have a couple 3\'s because of Rodmans never leaving the paint.

Bench, Bulls plain and simple.

Now the SG, Jordan would tear Kobe apart, Kobe would get some points, maybe even mid 20\'s.  BUT Jordan would possibly score up to 40 a game.  Because let\'s remember that when MJ played against a quality opponent he would step his game WAY up, remember the Portland finals when he was on fire from three.  Also Jordan would be out to prove that Kobe is No MJ.

I\'d say Bulls in 5.

We all pretty much agree that the Bulls would win. So...um...go Charles Barkley...or something.

Kobe vs. Pippen = Dead even. They both create and make plays happen, solid defenders, great shooters.

Fisher vs. Harper = Fisher. Fisher is younger and has the faster legs.

Longley vs. George = Longley. George isn\'t even a center really.

Fox vs. Kukoc = Tie. Both like to shoot the 3 ball, also like to slide in for a sneaky layup. Have the capability of alternating the momentum of a game.

Horry vs. Rodman = Horry. Rodman would get his share of boards, but he would offer few points and would probably pick up a technical. Horry always brings his A game in the fourth quarter and his a sufficient height advantage over Rodman.


Just my opinion really. Its tough to compare teams from different years, but thats just my useful/less two cents.


I gotta disagree with those matchups.

Kobe>Pippen: Pippen was good, but he was never as good as I believe Kobe will be.  Then again, if I had to take a lose, this is one I\'d want...

Fisher
George
Fox=Kukoc: Neither were that great.  They did what they need to though, both of em.

Horry
Bulls-MJ>Lakers-Shaq.  It\'s close though.

I think Hakeem played him better.  Rodman was damn good too though.  Shaq wasn\'t as good then though.

Shaq dominates Tim when they play.  Besides, Shaq was injured for part of the season.

Remember Rodman\'s brief moments for the Lakers? Didn\'t do a single thing for them, those were some frusterating years when we couldn\'t beat Utah and Kurt Rambis was head coach...

Yeah, but when Rodman was with the Lakers, you could tell he wasn\'t really focussing on basketball.  He was well past his prime.  I\'m talking about the Rodman from the years before then, defending physically and diving for rebounds and such.  During the years with the Bulls, there is no question to me that he was better than Horry.
