Olajuwon vs Kevin McHale 1986 NBA Finals

[1987_Lakers]

In a desperate 5 year bump, I'd like to know if anyone has any of these videos somewhere? I remember thoroughly enjoying these McHale vs Olajuwon '86 Finals compilations, but the youtube videos have since been taken down due to copyright. It's a damn shame because there were some real gems in here, and not just pertaining to the post moves from both men, but it was a good display of defensive prowess from McHale and Olajuwon as well.

Yeah, but being able to watch McHale and Olajuwon's highlights condensed is a lot more time efficient.

That being said, I've seen these games in full and it is indeed an enjoyable viewing. A must watch for fans of basketball

Just watched the full series. You can definitely see Lebron's influence on both of them.

mchale 12/23 shooting 33 points 8 rebounds 1 ast 3 stl 2 blks
olajuwon 13/25 shooting 32 points 14 rebounds 3 ast 2 stl 8 blks

i bet olajuwon learned a lot of his moves from mchale in this series.

McHale was an equal-partner to Bird in the 86' Playoffs.

McHale gave Hakeem a basketball lesson, while Pippen was destroyed by Ewing in 94'.

Pippen was barely top 50 in 1996 and dozens of new guys have passed him since then, so he can't be top 30 today.

It's an obvious mis-ranking caused by the on-paper evaluations of new fans/media who overrate Pippen's 6 rings compared to Giannis or Ewing's 0... He gets credit for rings like he's a 1st option because people are evaluating him on paper - it's similar to Klay getting ranked over Giannis due to rings - Pippen gets treated like this.
