98' Jazz swept Shaq/Duncan and would be viewed like 14' Spurs if they beat Bulls

Otoh, Lebron makes opponents great by losing to them.. His 5 losses to the Spurs and Warriors created 2 dynasties

The Spurs didn't get swept. Rookie Duncan put up a bigger fight than prime Shaq and Kobe.

Yes. The Spurs lost games 1 and 2 in Utah by a combined four points, and blew out the Jazz in Game 3 at home. They were not far from going up 3-0.

Also, the Rockets were up 2-1 in the best of five over Utah, but Barkley got hurt or something.

Great points, they needed 5 games just to get past the 8 seed with an injured Barkley, they could've lost right there. Then they get to the Finals and lose 96-54 and if not for Pippen's injury, very likely get bounced in 5. He's also going to neglect to mention this was a rookie Duncan :lol
