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 6 in 1995 so I don’t have any recollection of watching that team play, I did watch the videos after the fact though and they were special. Shaq and Penny (then Grant Hill joined before his career was crippled with injury) could have been an all-time dynasty level team if kept together.
All of that said 2009 feels so special to me though that run to the finals was one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen, yeah the outcome was poor but even the final games we lost could have gone our way easily.
