    Re: ESPN Presents: The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary on 97-98 Chicago Bulls

    For those serious about basketball, I'm sure you've heard about that. But for someone just playing in the schoolyard and the schools basketball team, none of that existed for us. Especially in Canada before basketball really became big. You just had a couple of worn out basketballs in the school gyms and the ugliest rims ever to shoot on in the playgrounds.

    It was always "get your own rebound". Do double the work. Shooting and conditioning.

    So Jordan was serious about those early hotel stories with his teammates and Jordan refusing to be part of their social life?

    Lol, funny seeing Obama just get the "former Chicago resident" title.

      Obama was tagged resident of Chicago because the label fit the content timeline. Same goes for Clinton receiving the Governor of Arkansas label.

      Saw folks on Twitter freaking out over it last night. People are weird, man.

        Yeah there is a lot of stuff I see bring pasted on my company slack. Like Pippen ex-Wife posting that Pippen made more money over his career than MJ did. And Twitter is going nuts about her cheating (with future).... I'm not even going to share a link to that garage lol

          King where you at man?? [emoji102]

          Also I’m surprised it took this to realize how good Pippen was and how underrated he was by people(not by anyone here btw).

                That was awesome. I thought it was like hearing Shaq brought Charles Barkley dinner after their huge fight. Little stories like that is a good reminder these are just like our Stars of today. They just didn't have status update for the world to know about (the internet)

                  Again, I meant no offense and was young too. What you said was a common thought towards Krause.

                  It is just weird, IMO, that this is still the narrative about him and his time with the 1990's Bulls. Especially, knowing how MJ & Jackson operated with a "them against us" mentality which spilled over towards management.

                  Out of all of them I think Scottie Pippen probably has the most legitimate beef past the dynasty "ending too soon" argument.

                  Again, it being all harmonious and peaceful wouldn't make compelling television 20+ years later.

                    Don't sweat it, I'm not sure why folks who didn't grow up playing organized ball would be familiar with it unless they saw it chilling in their gym in high school.

                    Ours was called The Gun and it was a god send.



                    Great way to fire up 500 shots in a short period of time. The newer ones track percentages per spot on the floor as well (as opposed to just one over-arching score). They could be pre-programmed to alternate position, adjust distance, and vary duration between shots.

                      Fascinating documentary. I wasnt watching ball at the time so to hear all the stories surrounding that team is priceless.

                      How many episodes is there gonna be?

                      Can some one name me some of the 80,90's hip hop we hear in the first two episodes?

                        I knew Scottie didn't make as much as he should but man that contract was crazy. Jerry Reinsdorf told him not to sign for that length but he did anyway, just crazy man.

                              Talk about digging up Krause’s grave then pissing on him. Hard to watch so many people crap on a dead man like that. People (fans) took that way too personally IMO.

                              I mean I understand what it means to have dislike for front office people (see Isaiah Thomas) but that man been dead.

                              As a fan of an opposing team back then..we had to upmost respect for the Bulls being able to construct such an incredible roster year after year. They knew exactly how to target just the perfect role players for their system.

                                I love watching the 80s footage of Jordan , lot of that seems always hard to come by. Man I truly am enthralled in this. I was getting annoyed by this quarantine but I guess if I'm going to make the most of this I can watch this every weekend! Let's lay off the Krause attacks ,. Like I said he's not here to defend himself... That kind of just makes me sad
