    Just watched episode 1. My god those were great times! Truly the GOAT and it isn't even close! 

    Something else I remember (at least I think I remember it correctly) is that the Admiral....my favorite non-Bull of all time, wanted to come to Chicago if they brought the team back together for the 98-99 season. If that is true as I remember believing it was, they undoubtedly would have 4-peated. 

    And those team intros....got goosebumps 22 years later.

    I am in that same boat. Respected the hell out of that team, but always rooted against them. I had a buddy in high school who was from Chicago and he was insufferable about the Bulls. Probably what made me dislike them.
    Same. I HATED the bulls and Jordan after that reverse he did going to the rim that he didn't need to against the Lakers...

    Always respected the team, Jordan and Pippen.  It was when Rodman joined the team that I became a fan though.  I followed the worm since the Pistons days.
    Yeah I grew to like them towards the end too. 

    fraud.
    Liking a team is not the same thing is having multiple rooting interests in multiple cities. Like you, my friend. 
    HEY!  I have multiple rooting interests!  I just enjoy sports in general and applaud excellence wherever it may be.

    Were the Bulls the first to do those crazy intros?  I remember watching them and no one else was doing them though.  It was a show before the show.

    If anyone has some Michael Jordan and bulls cards in general I would dig them up and dust them off.

    I have quite a few from 87-92.  I was smart enough back then to put them in glass card holders. I know they arent worth hundreds but im sure they’re worth a lot more than the $.50 a pack i got them from.  Wish i had an 84 fleer lol.  Should’ve sold my Sega and NES back then and bought one.

    If they are screw downs take them out, immediately.  The card you are thinking of is the 86 Fleer and yes, I wish I had bought some back in the day too.

    This is my PSA to everyone, if you have cards and are curious what they are worth I can help you out.  90's cards are doing very well on the secondary.  PM me if you need some help with something as i love, love, love talking cards.

    How many PJ poster offers have you received in exchange for the MJ jersey?  ;)

    I missed it last week but pretty much caught up now. I did miss like the first 15 minutes of episode 1.  I was never a huge Bulls fan but respected the hell out of them especially MJ.

    Side note when Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade" came out I thought it was about the Bulls winning the NBA Championship :lol: Kinda made sense it came out in '96 and the Bulls were the best team on  the planet back then.

    Nice piece!  I think the Bulls were one of the first teams to do an alternate Jersey?

    I have a golf card signed by him.  Buddy of mine was caddying in Hawaii and asked him to sign it.

    Note: I spent thousands and thousands of dollars on basketball cards in my younger years and never pulled a Jordan auto.  Got a Lebron auto once, sold it, should have kept that...

    So Back on topic!

    This episode focused on The Worm.  I mentioned before that I loved Rodman and followed his career very closely.  I remember an article when he was on the Bulls about him doing rebounding shooting drills with Pippen and Jordan, that he would watch their shots in practice for hours.

    I was very glad to hear those words come from Rodman last night.  His commitment to defense was unparalleled.

    I thought the segment covering the transition between Doug Collins and Phil Jackson was really interesting.  Tex Winter was actually on the staff before either of them and was a big reason why Collins was fired.  I had forgotten that Jackson was an assistant on Collins' staff.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.
