96 WCF: Game 5 Highlights

Thanks - just watched it in entirety and some thoughts:
1) people have been saying LeBron is as big as Karl was... this reminds me that it's not even close. Not necessarily taller, Karl was bigger and stronger than most who stepped on the court.
2) watching Carr in this highlights strikes me with a thought that Big Al is a rich man's Carr, whose low post scoring skills probably were even better than Karl's. holding out hopes that Favors can be like Karl some day so we will have this combo relived again.
3) our team was so thin back then... the team we have now, despite much younger, is deeper than the team was in 1996.
It's amazing how quickly a team's depth can change - 95-96 Eisley couldn't really be trusted, Anderson was still at Georgia, Russell only became a regular contributor late in the playoffs and Ostertag was a rookie. By 96-97 Eisley and Anderson developed into competent backups and by 97-98 Utah had what was widely considered the best bench in basketball.our team was so thin back then... the team we have now, despite much younger, is deeper than the team was in 1996.
