Game 7 1993 Western Conference Finals: Suns vs. Sonics The NBA has always laughed off the charge, but conspiracy theorists often point to Game 7 of the 1993 Western Conference finals in making their case -- saying Phoenix got an inordinate number of calls against Seattle because the league wanted to see a Suns-Chicago Bulls final "Here was the scenario: A Barkley-Jordan final, and Barkley did a commercial for NBC three weeks before the finals
OKC Thunder have no legitimate claim or ownership over the Sonics 1979 . . . The Charlotte Hornets are inextricably linked to Charlotte, and the Seattle Sonics to Seattle Moving the franchises to New Orleans and OKC respectively began a new tradition with those communities building new memories and forming new communal bonds

Do you consider Jordans Bulls a Super Team? - Page 21 - RealGM Fair, and although the Sonics had two great players, the Bulls big 3 was too formidable Jordan - undisputed #1 player in the league Pippen - top 10 player in the league (some may say arguably top 5) Rodman - arguably top 15 in the league and top 3 defensively Payton was a top 10 player and Kemp was a top 20 player, but not as good as Jordan or Pippen So the Bulls had 2 superstar level MVP
Dennis Johnson vs Joe Dumars - RealGM Until D J From 1976-77 to 1979-80 Seattle was the league's best defensive team (just 98 1 pts 100poss allowed), and Johnson was their acknowledged best defender Watch some of the Sonics Finals games from 1977-78 and 1978-79 on youtube and you'll hear Brent Musburger slather him with non-stop praise for his defense

Do you consider Jordans Bulls a Super Team? - Page 20 - RealGM The Bulls had three of the best defenders while the Sonics had two, but they had a much better big and could get buckets That Sonics squad was one of the best defensive teams of all time When one player has to clinch a championship by barely winning the game while having over 50% of the team’s points in that game, it’s probably not a
