The 1996 NBA Finals - A Retrospective

Hi, guys. Well, today, I've been thinking of the documentary The Last Dance, about the 1990s Chicago Bulls. The late, lamented Seattle Supersonics (RIP) put out some tough teams in the 1990s, and this was their pinnacle: The 1995-96 season. The team went 64-18 in the regular season, and coasted their way through the first two playoff rounds, before going the maximum seven games against the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference Finals.

 

This would set the stage for the 1996 NBA Finals, and they would go up against an EVEN tougher team: The 72-10 Chicago Bulls.

Yes, it's crazy to think that this Sonics team went up against a buzzsaw in that Bulls team. It was a lot like Rocky IV: The Sonics were to Apollo Creed as the Bulls were to Ivan Drago. The Sonics fell in six games, but wow, the Sonics gave the Bulls a great fight. 1996 was a very epic year in sports and movies, IMO. This two-part meme below sums up the whole 1996 NBA Finals. :D
