I appreciate the skill of today’s players but this era of basketball... no comparison...

25 years ago basketball fans said that about MJ, comparing him to the idols they had in the 70s.

I feel like Pippen would really shine today. The whole Point Forward thing has really caught on and he was such a smart passer.

Great documentary. Not a huge basketball fan but it was amazing to relive a time when Michael Jordan and the Bulls ruled the world.

Space Jam with Jordan, Rodman marrying himself, and Zippin with Pippen! Those dudes were on top of the world.

Jerry Sloan coached horribly in that last finals game in 98 Jesus. Mike scores 45 of 87 total points and didn’t see double teams lol

Also, they knew Pippen was hobbled, why didn’t they pick and roll him into oblivion

Jordan was 15/35 shooting while the rest of the team was 19/32. Holding a team to 87 points (10 below their season average) is fantastic.

But still, you make Ron Harper, hobbled Scottie, and kukoc beat you.

Hard as it is to compare now to the '90s, at least they're both in the modern era where most of the talent was in one league with 20+ teams.
