Yall gotta admit tho..that Russ MVP season was a masterpiece from start to finish
It really was. Especially how a team committed to boxing out for him to get the double digit rebound average. Nevermind the NBA, Jordan Brand and Nike bringing in the Big O to get behind it when people started taking notice of the stat hunting to put his stamp on it. While taking the opportunity to say the Warriors played garbage basketball pretty much.

Most athletic point guard in nba history, manufactured stats or not, he is always in tip top shape and plays hard.
 
They had absolutely no business being in the playoffs at all that season if it wasn’t for Russ. They would’ve been dead last without him
Russ was awesome that year, but it’s not like the roster was devoid of talent.

Dipo was an all-star the following season for Orlando.

Adams/Kanter/Gibson were all competent bigs.

Rookie Domas not able to play to his strengths most of the time and is immediately better following season.

Jerami Grant was on roster but not getting a ton of bump.

Again, Russ was awesome. He just wasn’t playing with a bunch of scrubs like some have painted it.

You could argue the Rockets team that beat them 4-1 in the playoffs wasn’t much more talented than they were.

School me on the 95-96 Clippers. Didn’t realize they made the playoffs that year. Far too young to care :lol:. Was looking at old Brent Berry highlights, and that seemed like a fun team to watch. Somehow won 36 games and made it.
