    Default BleacherReport: Top Rivalries of the decade. LBJ and Warriors; MJ and...John Starks?

    Was Bleacher Report having a hard time finding MJ's rivalry or was this it?

    The bulls and Knicks and then the Knicks vs the heat and pacers were the rivalries of the 90s.

    They met 3 years in a row 2006, 2007, and 2008. Better than John Starks

    no it's mj vs ewing while pippen is outplayed by x-man and Stark's

    pippen's 16 on 40% nearly caused loss in 92'

    Ewing, who is behind two Bulls all-time, was the "rival" per 3ball.

    Jordan had no real rival. Not even a Durant to his LeBron semi-rival.

    MJ fans trying to manufacture rivals. Isn't it "anti-MJ" to bring MJ down to the level of Ewing, Malone, Drexler, and even Miller? I am hardly a MJ lover and even I find that disrespectful to MJ.

    Starks was basically a better defensive version of rookie curry, but a couple inches taller with dunk contest athleticism (curry was a 19 ppg player for 3 years before his 3-point attempts increased a ton in subsequent years).. all facts

    Peak Starks in 93' and 94':

    18.1 and 5.4 apg.... all-defense ... aka pippen


    okay he wasn't the shooter rookie curry was but his offense was similar (19 ppg for curry in three straight years before he started taking more threes)
