They were all proved woefully wrong as the Houston Rockets swept the Magic in a lopsided series, as The Dream schooled Shaquille O'Neal, who was an MVP candidate during the regular season on the strength of his 29.3-point, 11.4-rebound season. Topping it off, he scored a 3-pointer with Shaq guarding him in game 4 - showing off his amazingly well-rounded game.
Hakeem was remarkably consistent, as he scored between 31 and 35 points on all 4 outings and shooting nearly/ more than 50% in those games. He also became the 4th player to score at least 30 points in every Finals game of a series, joining Elgin Baylor, Rick Barry and Michael Jordan on the list.
