Swept 0-4 in 1995, but the players roster was obviously more stacked with Penny and Shaq, compared to just Dwight in 2009.

Shaq and (peak) Penny were obviously/arguably bigger stars than Dwight ever was.

I was too young for 1995, that team was crazy though. But in 2009 I felt we had a good chance. Dwight was a top 2 or 3 player, Hedo and Rashard were deadeyes with Hedo also being an unreal playmaker and steady force in close 4th quarter games. Then we just had an assortment of hustle and shooters as key role players around Dwight.

I know we only took one game but there were some close games in the series that just fell apart at the end.

Nobody thought Dwight was at Kobe - LeBron level. Not even Wade’s
