I love the stories of how MJ and Scottie destroyed Kukoc in the olympics.

Also Carmen still got it!

Hard to believe Reinsdorf didn’t just fire Krause on the spot, pay the players and Phil what they deserve, and tell them to win as many in a row as they can.

He had by far the best player, by far the best coach, by far the best No. 2 in Pippen, and by far the best supporting cast.

Yet, Reinsdorf gave all the power to the short, ugly, fat, insecure little man and allowed him to break up one of the best dynasties of all time because Krause thought he knew better than all of them.

Reinsdorf was just as guilty as Krause. He’s just alive to make himself look good. Reinsdorf didn’t want to pay the piper either. He could have taken care of Scottie Pippen too. Could have torn up that contract and paid Scottie commiserate with his value and market value but chose not to. The buck stopped with reinsdorf and it did.

Krause found pippen and grant. No one else in that org did. He did.

That was the one draft year Krause got it right. Every other draft Krause had with the Bulls was a total brick.

Another decent GM would have built a championship team around Jordan eventually like Krause did. Hopefully he wouldn’t have wanted all the credit and eventually led to the dynasty’s downfall too.

So true on the drafts. Kudos did pay dividends later though. But after that there wasn't a single worthwhile pick. Amazing they kept winning without adding any young talent.

Eh? Did you actually watch the game? Petrovic was the clear-cut star of that team -some feel he was the best Euro baller ever. Kukoc wasn't even in the NBA at the time. Good team, only trailed 17 at the half

I did not get that, all these players left in their prime

[thetrinity]

thought it was boring last night, liked the first couple episodes

[rm18]

Shaq was the best player in NBA hands down in 98. Best #2 David Robinson.

yah i don't get it, can only imagine how much money jordan made reinsforf and it feels like he got really cheap would rather save money and blow it up than keep paying the high salaries and try for another ring

[rm18]

Remember it was a lockout that year also so easier to retire

[Mr KLC]

[carolinakid]

fyi back in the day Jordan had all his golf clubs named with a pretty white girls names.

[carolinakid]

he would come here to his fav food place and have the whole upstairs for him and his friends, he would send his guys down to the bar to get pretty white girls to come upstairs to sit at his table........

[carolinakid]

i have talk with mangers at strip clubs and jordan for some reason was not a big tipper either. the worst was no tippin pippen

Alot of NBA players are not big tippers. Kevin Garnett was notoriously cheap.

[jjgold]

Another good show

[Xander Corvus]

Surprised this ain't getting more hits. Too many losers in this forum.

Are you bein ironic?

[Xander Corvus]

Lol. Depends if we go green tomorrow.

Since Thomas, then one of the most accomplished players in the NBA, was left off the Dream Team in 1992, it’s largely been attributed to his poor relationships with some of the players who made the roster, namely Jordan. In Episode 5, Jordan says when he asked Rod Thorn, then the head of USA Basketball, who was playing, Thorn told him, “The guy you’re talking about, who you’re thinking about, he’s not gonna be playing.”– via Satchel Price @ Chicago Sun-Times


Brilliant. Thorn said just the other day he didn't talk about Thomas with Jordan, so either he was "finessing it" or one of them is full of shit!

[jjgold]

guy was just a flat out killer anyone that tried to challenge him he destroyed

[thetrinity]

Last night was great finally got into the gambling dark side

[thetrinity]

This is the biggest disappointment of the show, that they haven’t gotten into his white whore adulterous side yet

[jjgold]

I wonder if he still gambles and smokes cigars??

I say yes

[carolinakid]

yes, he loves gambling on the golf courses

[carolinakid]

ever year here he has a golf event at the grandover resort here in my area.

[thetrinity]

Look up Karla knafel hopefully they get into this

[Grits n' Gravy]

We watched first 4. Simply the best to play the game. He was not going to let anyone beat him.

Some things I noticed:

Pippen’s voice in recent interviews sounds like it is scrambled to protect a witness

Never knew Krause was so short

Krause’s teeth are disturbingly yellow. Did Reinsdorf not provide dental? He might be a 4th cousin of jj with those butter bean teeth.

Jordan’s teammates were definitely scared of him. Some major side eyes.

Phil wins his stars over by not catering to their every need above the team. If they want to win, a star will understand he can’t always do it alone.

Mike is spitting image of his father.

Mike had a few brothers. Kinda tough getting out of Mike’s shadow.

Will watch 5 and 6 during week

[spippen]

Did you see how gross and, let me think of a more descriptive word, Clownish, that Jerry Krause looked like when he was trying to dance on the bus with the men? Michael will probably have more of that to come in the next episodes to continue to ridicule Jerry Krause. Michael really despised this person.

[shadymcgrady]

I thought Jordan was the goat before revisiting the 90s. Upon watching the last dance docs I know realize he was a god

[thetrinity]

This Krause guy was clearly an egomaniac. A little fat loser who was jealous because he got no attention. Who breaks up a team before they lose? I guess they thought they could never keep Pippen after that year, but it seems a lame excuse. He thought kukoc would be as good as Jordan or Pippen for Christ sake

[Grits n' Gravy]

So when you were handing out mints and paper towels at your job in the bathroom you asked people about mj’s tipping habits? Maybe you should go post at i’m a gossipy little bitch forum. You’ll fit in perfectly.

Alot of NBA players are not big tippers. Kevin Garnett was notoriously cheap.

Define notorious? Leaving 20%? Leaving 0%?

Last night was great finally got into the gambling dark side

Maybe Oprah can do a Jordan doc to satisfy the feminine viewing desire? Jordan was a basketball player. Why should we care about his personal life?

[romecloneout]

Look up Karla knafel hopefully they get into this

Never gonna happen
Jordan had last say on what would be in documentary
He ain't putting that in it

[pavyracer]

Without Michael Jordan there would be no Kobe or Lebron. Best player ever. Lebron couldn't shine his shoes.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I’ve always said this
no one had his determination to dominate in everything he did
hes also egotistical, always known this as well
dude lived life to the fullest overall
the cheating shit sucks , but shit , he’s Michael Jordan
Would be harder to stay faithful year after year of his lifestyle

No one could touch Jordan
Kobe did best job of emulating his style and technique
but no one was Jordan
he could beat you in so many ways
incredible b-ball IQ too

Jordan the G.O.A.T

6-0 in Finals

How u been, bro?

Mad Dog Russo was commenting that Bulls were pretty damn lucky to win in '93. You gotta be livin right.

Gm5 of Eastern Finals, Charles Smith blocked 4x at pt blank range, no call. Gm6 of NBA finals, late comeback + Paxson hits the shot.
