how creepy is it that michael jordan is still wearing that LONE, GOLD HOOP EARRING?

yeah easy to remember the times he shot them into it and forget the times he shot them out rose tinted glasses and so forth, tho on the other hand he have five rings so it couldnt have been that bad

primarily I remember him trying those shots against the Bucks and never hitting them but drawing the foul despite barely getting touched

he did get a nice whistle, helps

I don't know I feel like a lot of those teams the bulls faced were in fact possibly legendary squads that happened to run into the best team of all time. They were some frightening teams, I don't ever remember feeling worried about the bulls but the only reason I felt that way is because they didn't seem like a squad that would make nearly as many mistakes. And certainly not fatal ones. I think if the bulls were more mistake prone, the teams they faced were more than capable of knocking them out. And it seemed like as the years went on the teams got tougher but maybe the bulls just got older..

the point that gary payton made in the jordan doc that jordan laughed at was actually true that if hed guarded jordan from the start of the series the sonics wouldve had a good shot at winning

With LeBron I guess it's not so much that there is this feeling like his teams are going to lose as much as with extremely rare exception his teams have been just another squad in the playoff mix. Those Miami teams are the exception.

Actually to the point about the warriors, that's what made the warriors dynasty special as well is they were the big dog everyone expected to come out on top. They were never just another team that had a decent shot.

I really would have loved to have seen a finals matchup between the bulls and rockets. Probably the biggest missed matchup opportunity of the 90s.

ya thats true and even those miami teams lost two out of four, tho tbf they did make the finals all four which is not bad, and then the superteam sitch limited their longevity which makes it seem more like a blip than a run

bulls prob wouldve wrecked those hakeem rockets teams they just have enough star power

As a bulls fan I have no doubt that it would have been an eightpeat

Miami probably should've won it in their first year, iirc Game 2 they were up like 15 with a few minutes to play and Dirk wound up playing some of the most insane ball I've ever seen, had they threepeated the conversation would be a lot different. but then again if Ray Allen misses that 3 in Game 6 maybe the Heat only onepeat. idk just saying so much of all-time greatness seems to hinge on what breaks you do or dont get

yeah def
