I forgot how ugly of a game that was. The first half was unwatchable.

The Mailman was the best. Wow, it was nice watching him own Rodman and Luc. Unreal game. Imagine how great that team could have been had Stockton just tried a LITTLE bit to score some more. He was way too passive whenever I see old videos. Obviously a master passer and floor general. BUT, had Stock tried a bit to assert himself on O, the Jazz would have had at least 1 ring I believe.
This is why I wonder what a D-Will/Mailman team could do. Malone gets ripped to shreds by critics but there were times he was forced to do everything. The end of Game 6 against Houston showed what Stockton could do, he just seldom did it.
Looking at stats of the 1998 Finals I was surprised to see how little John and Horny scored.
Malone scored 150 out the Jazz's 481 points. Horny scored 64. Stockton 58 and Russell 53 How does Stockton only score 5 more points than Russell. Russell had the job of defending Jordan, you understand how his points would be down but why were Stockton's so low?

Both teams played so hard in this game. Chicago's defense was just incredible with harper, jordan and pippen. To me, it's always interesting to watch these old jazz team and compare them to our team now, running that same offense. Stock was passive, but he played so smart and under control. That pass there on the inbounds at the end was great, it took like 4 seconds off the clock so there was only 1.1 seconds left I believe. And yes Malone torched longley.

Just watching prodigy's highlights, I can say, in complete seriousness, that Malone would have had over 60 points in that game if it were played last year. Look at how physical Rodman was and how Karl just powered through it. Put him against the most powerful 4 in the league right now and they would pale in comparison. So impressive.
