G.O.A.T.
I agree.I did get to a playoff game in 92 when they played Cleveland. I was in 1st grade we was in nose bleed seats.I will never forget that day -
I had this poster on my wall. I read it over and over. Study the steps and learn how to do the fadeaway which is my favorite go to move -
^I got that same newspaper on my wall.Its from the 1999 tribune when mike retired
I didn't get it laminated tho,paper is yellow -
I still got a box of old ? like newspapers, an unopened Wheeties box, and championship pennants from the first era.
and this was the first real book i ever read, woke me up to how ? really was:
Sam Smith set out to write what was supposed to be an exposure critical of MJ's behavior behind the scenes showing his ruthless desire to win, but to me as a kid it just increased my respect for him 10 fold - his drive to win at all costs is detailed in a way that is awe inspiring. The Jordan Rules is a must read to this day for any sports fan, let alone essential reading for any Bulls or Jordan fan. -
Great team, would of won in any era...but dominated a largely weak nba at the time...great players scattered about. Sad to think we will never see MJ against the great athletes of these days and the new defensive rules. I remember watching these games just to watch Jordan play D. Bulls teams were much more fun to watch the second go around because Jordan embraced the triangle more than ever before, watching the bulls execute on some nights was truly amazing. 96 bulls as a team and 2001 lakers playoffs run are some of the best executed basketball you will see, and when it broke down you knew an amazing player was about to do something never really seen before as the shot clock wound down (chi had MJ, la had Kobe and shaq). Thank ? for tex winter and Phil Jackson for being able to implement it to nba professional players....MJ was a headache to watch before they came along, from a basketball and team perspective. Always great for a highlight tho.
Wish MJ never quit on his team at their pinnacle, woulda been fun too see what coulda happened those two years he was gone. -

cool story on MJ....back in the days before they were winning titles, maybe it was 86 or like 87, my pops made up this fake ID/press pass as a photographer to a celtics bulls game...so security being as lax as they were back then didnt really ? down back then, this was at the old Boston garden back in the days...if u ever been there u know how much of a ? hole the place was. he was able to sneak down and hang out under the basket the whole game as a fake photographer for the paper (globe or herald I forget) and watch MJ up close when he was just taking over the league......the funniest and maybe saddest part of this story is, while he had a camera he swiped, and faked being a photographer all night, there was no actual film in the camera and this genius didn't even take any pictures LMAO...I use to clown him on that hard before he passed, but he always said it didn't even matter, cuz watching that live is something you never forget. He still described it so vivid, and looking at him speak was like watching a little kid....it was crazy.
I know random, but figure you bulls heads could appreciate that. -
mom's bought this jersey for me in 96 notice the champion tag lol
still got it till this day tho -
Grandma got me this. I was so damn happy -
Damn, I ? over my Bulls jersey. I still ? my black, Shaq Magics jersey around somewhere.
The '93 Finals are still vivid, the best offensive performances I've ever seen. -

Yup
And the commercial wit Phil Jackson,Jordan and dennis rodman saying be safe and dont tear ? up they played during every elimination game of the 96-98 finals

Without the bulls, Chicago would be about as big as a fail city as Cleveland sports wise.....nice city tho.....sadly will prob never win anything in the next 20 years or so, atleast basketball wise.....atleast they will always have that run, and made basketball worth watching when it was pretty garbage all around to watch in a garbage league with a few great players spread around making the occasional highlight.
