Gabe and Alex investigate one of the NBA’s best “forgotten” Finals: the 1994 matchup. Get ready for a lot of hand-checking and illegal defense calls! They examine the odd structure of both the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks, where one hall of Famer was surrounded by...guys not in the Hall of Fame. In addition, they go in depth comparing and contrasting the two of the premier big men of the 1990’s: Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing. They also evaluate how their games would transition to the modern day, what rule changes have most affected the modern NBA and Carl Herrera, the first Latinx person to ever win an NBA championship!
