haha yeah jordan led chicago was many people's darling whenever they meet utah jazz...i for one, was rooting for jazz then ahah....

 

in one of the series decider game 6 jordan sank a critical shot that beat the buzzer. i remember although the goal stood, tv replays indicated to me that jordan was milliseconds late in releasing the ball when the buzzer sounded. still referees always err on the side of the favorites!

 

yeah i remember that!! watch it on a rerun of that match on tv last year.

 

well, jordan wouldnt be jordan today without his sidekicks n the bulls cant be champs with him alone

yep to win champinoship you need a core of good players instad of 1 outstanding player. that's why lakers is not all about kobe.

 

since i started watching basketball, i think only jordan can lay claim to being the only great player to single handedly bring their team to greatness. of course some may say jordan is aided by pippen, cartwright, grant and the other player i cannot remember his name now.

 

with all due respect, pippen is respectable but not great and the rest of the bulls player are just above average.

His free throw still sucks after some many years [laugh][laugh]

 

 

haha! bro, his free throws had improved quite a bit now liao..

 

i watched some of his matches last year when he was with cleveland cavaliers. his freethrow ratio had improved i must say.

 

but this old man ( close to 40 ) is getting fatter by the day too lo i think. haha! last time i read on the web, his weight was like 350 pounds.

Started watching basketball during the height of the Lakers vs. Celtics rivalry, who can forget the pair of goggle eyed Lakers (James Worthy and Kareem Abdul Jabbar), the Lakers running their Showtime, against a Celtic team led by a deceptively slow looking Larry Bird, Kevin McHale etc.

 

For me the high water mark was watching Michael Jordan doing his thing, first winning the Slam Dunk championships, then evolving to become the all-round player that was not only an offensive but defensive threat. For me, at his peak, he was the greatest player of all time because he embodied the right amount of showmanship, excellent work ethics, scoring ability, and the ability to win championships.

 

In many ways he could be compared to a Michael of another sport - Michael Schumacher, both at the peak of their career were considered arguably the best ever, both tried to come back but didn't fare quite as well.
