Fam, Sabonis STARTED in the NBA at 30. FOH with "Prime Sabonis"

lol
Does anyone honestly believe that Pippen becoming possibly the best perimeter defender was a coincidence, or who he got to go against everyday in practice?

MJ was certified G BEFORE Pip showed up so let's not act like his offensive repertoire was due to Pip.

Go read that Jailblazers book

their crazy ain't got nothing to do with a Game 7 THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD.

ok so when the Bulls won their 6th title, Michael was 35. Why are you making Scottie sound like a relic? This ain't a time capsule, we can't have everybody in their prime, we have them when we do.

all that notwithstanding, Jordan ain't blowing a 15 point 4th quarter lead.

ooooooh, afficionado Paul Allen!

there is no "bottom line." Jordan never played on a contender once he was done with the Bulls. You're not trying to say that Jordan couldn't have won with other good players are you?
