This season, no, the entire 1990s, the two most popular teams met again in the 1998 Finals.
It was a scene of collective joy and the result that fans and the NBA had hoped for since the start of the season.
The greatest two players in NBA history reunited on the long-awaited highest stage, with memories of the epic battles of 1991 and 1992 still vivid.
That memory, intertwined with the Soviet Union's collapse, the end of the Cold War, the Gulf War, Clinton's election as president, the implementation of new liberal economy, electronic technology development, and Silicon Valley's rise, witnessed America's rapid political and economic development, becoming the world's sole superpower.
The encounter also meant that from 1990 to 1998, the NBA championship was claimed by the golden generation of 1984.
Ah Gan, Jordan, Olajuwon, the top three picks of the '84 draft, became the monopolists of the NBA championship in the 90s, deserving rulers of their generation.
