the 96 Sonics had 5

[72-10]

players they could count on any given night - a dependable starting five - as well as vet Nate McMillan and they didn't even get a ring for it

the 96 Bulls had 6 such guys and that's if you discount Longley, which I think you can safely do

let's not forget that Longley had a few albeit really rare nights where he outplayed the opposing centers even a Haller on occassion

insanely deep runner-up. best runner-up of all time?

No that team sucked with no Draymond, Bogut, and injured Steph/Iggy

Choking doesn’t count as an injury, curryfan.

Offensively, the Sonics had a FAR superior cast and players, while they were barely behind the Bulls defensively (#2 in the league.. 102.1 drtg to the bulls 101.8)

Overall, the Sonic's had better on paper talent (a legit Big 3 of offensive juggernauts and the dpoy)

The Sonics' 3rd option Schrempf was a better offensive player than 96' Pippen (15 on 34% in Finals)... and obviously Kemp and Payton were better offensive players than Pippen too

Best runner up ever? Deadass, like half the runner ups from the 80's were better. Hell, those Magic from the previous season were better :oldlol:
