JR Smith on 90's competition- "We can't even name Craig Ehlo's backup"

[Nowoco]

Wait, is it true that a team with Jeff Hornacek as second option swept a prime Shaq, Kobe and a stacked Lakers team? Wow, those Bulls must have been incredible to beat that team in 6

[Bronbron23]

Right? It almost sounds like a laughable troll job, but no, it's actually facts.

1998 Utah Jazz Finals stats:

So you see 2 guys who are pretty much equal in scoring but one guy is 4 times a better passer and you think the guy with way less assists is the second option? Do you even watch basketball or do you just come on here to troll?

1998 Utah Jazz Finals stats:

90's toughest competition averaging 25% from deep, yikes


must have been brutal when Stern took away their little tikes 3pt line

90's toughest competition averaging 25% from deep, yikes

Hornacek led the 90' Suns to 55 wins and upset Magic's 1 seeded, all-star team in the wcsf

In 1991, Hornacek led the Suns to another 55 wins while leading them in scoring

Hornacek was legit.... superior to Gordon Hayward.. hornacek led all perimeter wings in assists several years

Gordon Hayward versus 8 seed Indiana - [COLOR="Navy"]12/5/2 on 49% (won)[/COLOR]

Jeff Hornacek versus 1 seeded Lakers - [COLOR="Navy"]20/4/4 on 52% (won)[/COLOR]


Again, Hornacek > Hayward

After beating Magic in 1990, Hornacek led the 91' Suns in scoring and to 55 wins... he also led all perimeter wings in assists several years

Btw, the Suns were pretty stacked in 1990 and demolished Magic's 63-win all-star team and 1 seed ...... But then the blazers beat them in the WCF in 6 games!!.... So think how stacked the blazers were - indeed, they made the 90' Finals with Drexler at 18 ppg and 3rd option for the first 3 rounds...

The 90's west had super-parity with 4 to 5 Spurs-level teams that took turns having their banner year and losing to MJ in the Finals.. it's harder to win with many teams having equal talent (parity), than 2 teams having all the talent (heat/spurs and cavs/warriors).. parity means lower net ratings too for those teams since they're beating up on each other

Wait..so you're saying MJ's 2nd option opponent wasn't 10.7 but 9.7 ?!!!

Are you sure you wanna do that?

Hornacek was a really good player

Imagine LeBron James faces the Warriors and their second option Curry scored 10.7 ppg and Klay scores 9.7

We roast Curry for his 25 ppg, but if he put up the "Hornacek special" a la 10.7 !? Shiiid

Just imagine it

How many assists though? An assist is offence too you know.

Imagine having no offence help what so ever and having to score almost 15-20 more points a game then your next best player to win the finals. Lebron only had to score 6 more than Wade and 2 more than Kyrie.
