bulls management breaking up that team is one of the craziest things in human history
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 03:09 (five years ago)
its transcendently crazy i believe even if they didnt themselves realize it they were seeking a higher plane of consciousness
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 03:12 (five years ago)
krause's arrogance and the reinsdorf deference to management was a bad combination

Lol MJ did have a Ferrari but he signed endorsement deal early on with Chevrolet. I have a signed photo of him in a tux posing by a corvette.

Agreed! Think I mentioned in ILH that I bought one online to wear to Bulls game when I was in town in Feb. $48, I thought it was a steal.

That iconic shot of him in that jersey doing the cradle rock jam was taken during his very 1st game at MSG. Lemme find the highlights of that game, it's ridic

it just has a bunch of cussing, but i think that may only be left in during the initial broadcast. my wife was getting into the doc so we rewatched ep 4 last night on the espn app and it was all bleeped out.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 11:29 (five years ago)
ahh. in the UK it's on Netflix.
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 12:26 (five years ago)
i don't mind cussing - but would prefer no n-words or f**gots which were rife in those days iirc
none of that so far

he still avg'd over 20ppg but his FG% nose-dived as a Wizard. He def had his moments tho.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 14:56 (five years ago)
It really sucks that he didn’t pick Pau, Pau and ancient Jordan would have been so fucking cool

i didn't realize that phil jackson was such a cool guy! at least, he seems like a cool guy to me
― let me be your friend on the other end! (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 15:20 (five years ago)
lol c'mon KARL MALONE. that was phil's whole USP. mr zen. mr goatee. the sensei.
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 15:43 (five years ago)
espn2 runs the tv-14 version concurrently with no F or S words but ass-holes and sons of bitches etc.green light. espn airing the regular unedited version.

would love to watch some of these games that they're just glossing over.everything is on youtube, it's great. I watched game 2 of '92 Finals last night. Lil interview with MJ about his 3pt shooting in game 1, him saying he doesn't like to shoot many 3s cause it "hurts his all around game". Such a different game back then.

oh nice thx. i only really remember the 2nd three peat really well. I got way more into the nba around 93-94
― Spottie, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 16:36 (five years ago)
haha wait a minute i just realised KARL MALONE was pulling our legs. sorry for humour fail - that's what i get for ilx0ring and "working" at the same time
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 16:37 (five years ago)
sadly, i wasn't! i don't actually know much about basketball. the little i know came from watching nba on nbc all the time in the 90s (which is why i'm watching this doc series), and although i think i understood back then that phil jackson was a relatively free spirit compared to like, pat riley, i didn't understand the extent of it.

If you wanted to watch some of the 1st 3peat on youtube I'd go with the '93 series vs PHX. MJ and Barkley were phenomenal, and there were some good games. I was down in FL for my cousin's wedding, and game 6 was on the night of the wedding. I figured the newlyweds wouldn't want to watch it, but they invited a bunch of us over to watch in their hotel's lobby. Good lil memory, everyone went nuts when Pax hit shot that sealed it.

what was the playoff game where they basically doubled the jazz's score?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 17:34 (five years ago)
i think it was this one. 54 points in a playoff game! https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/pbp/199806070CHI.html
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 17:37 (five years ago)
Jazz avg'd over 100ppg in conf finals sweep vs Lakers and then didn't crack 90 in a game vs Bulls
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 18:15 (five years ago)
Competitive series tho
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 18:27 (five years ago)
that last game will of course be the centerpiece of the end of the series. poor jacques vaughn.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 18:31 (five years ago)
I think a lot about how the Jazz got shellacked in that game and just went back to business in the next game. They’d been around so long that they knew one game is one game.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 22:44 (five years ago)
Jerry Sloan was a great coach, feel like ppl have forgotten about him
