Phil Jackson never would have called 1999 an asterisk year if he had won. It's such an absurd comment that I had totally forgotten about it until you mentioned it.

I loved watching David Robinson play basketball. Popovich is an asshole. San Antonio is an awesome town but the Robinson "broken foot" of 96-97 was the biggest bunch of bullshit ever pulled in the NBA. The ultimate tank job of the decade. Fucking Navy.
