Biggest factor in that series wasn't Micheal anyway. It was Rodman. Rodman was the MVP of that finals. Without question. He made the Sonics his personal bitches. Brickowski literally lost his mind, Dennis was so far up his ass.
Jordan looked all too human in that series. He was tired.
Sooooo many extra possessions, soooooo many stupid retaliatory fouls.
Rodman was the man in '96.
He was a factor, rebounding and good defense goes a long way... But not putting Gary on Mike starting that series was a huge mistake ... One of the reason Mike started looking so tired is because Gary started denying him the ball and making Mike run around like crazy.. I had never seen a defender get under Mike's skin like Gary did after game 3 when they locked him on Mike... But being down 3-0 just made it a tall order to climb out of... Sonics dam near took the series 7 games...
