if prime mj played on this era, probably wade,kobe,lebron,cp3 melo,howard,rose,durant ad all the stars today would join forced to beat this guy. mj was a beast.
Having a big starting lineup where all could rotate made them so much more dangerous...plus 3 great defenders and harper who understood team defense, no one can compare to them...
LeBron you think everyone was gunning for you every night you played them? How bad do you think the entire NBA didnt want to be the Bulls' 70th win. Once they started rolling, the whole league must have wanted to bring their A game and beat them.
i just look at how quick he is and compare to kobe (my favorite player in the current NBA) and its not even close. Granted Kobe has a lot of injuries, MJ is soooo much quicker and more athletic looking at this age.
@austin78993 this is something that sets MJ apart from Kobe(who is also a great player and probably the best of his generation). MJ was around 34 years of age during that season and yet he still dominated the league as if he were in his 20's. That right there is true greatness.
@Alexao67 There were no Milwaukee Bucks fans back then, just like today. No one in the crowd wanted Milwaukee to win. Myself and a few friends were at the game. We drove up to the Bradley Center from Chicago along with about 15,000 other people.
@mbryanf Bulls always take over the Bradley Center. Did you actually see anyone wearing a bucks jersey? My guess is that there wouldn't be more than a few hundred Bucks fans in attendance.
@alexcubs25 Champion jerseys were popular and all, but people didn't wear them the way they do today, or even just a small number of seasons later. Bulls games were the first ones you really started to see fans wearing jerseys to games. Who knows what Bucks jerseys were even manufactured for this season?
Jordan was right. If you get 70 wins but can't win the NBA title, it's nothing. Barkley and Malone won the MVPs in 93 and 97 but they couldn't win the championships. Chicago should have won this 70th win game in the LA Forum if the games schedule coincidently matched, which would be more interesting and humiliating to the Lakers, because the Lakers had the best 69 win record prior to the Bulls.
A Damon Stodamire lead raptors squad beat the bulls 2 times! twice! Does anyone remember that shit! ?!? I am a Chicagoan born and raised. I've watched Jordan play live, live on tv, I miss the Jordan lead bulls!!!
@nikeairmorenUSA I remember. Raptors celebrated like they just won the NBA championship lol. But that just shows you how dominant the Bulls were. A regular season win against them was HUGE.
There is no way the heat would be able to beat this 72 win bulls team. Rodman would ruin bosh every game and contain him to some backup numbers. Jordan wouldn't even waste his time on JEBRON, he would guard wade. And then pippen would play his stellar defense on JEBRON LAMES. Leaving us to wonder - what bench does the heat have to play vs this bulls bench? I would say best out of 20 bulls would go 20-0. I miss true nba action :(
@7Micha7hell7 Millwaulke Wisconsin is an hour and some change drive from Chicago. Plenty of Bulls fans their plus many would drive up to WI and see them their too. It was almost like playing a home game. Hope that helps explain.
still gets me mad that the bulls didnt make back to back 70 win seasons...losing 3 of their last 4 games in 97 they shouldve made at least 70 but still overall a dominant 3 years
The only team I think would give this 72 win Bulls team is the 85'86 Celtics. They had such a strong front line and Ainge & Johnson was tough in the backcourt. A seven game series with those two teams would probably go the full seven with the Bulls coming out on top.
this is halarious.. the bucks fan cheer more than the bulls fan, if i was listening to this game o the radio you'd think the bulls were in chicago playing at the united center, lol
MJ was not only great in the playoffs but he raped the regular season with regular season MVPs after another (5 total), scoring titles one after another (10 total)etc etc etc THERE IS NO DOUBT that Mike was, is, and quite honestly will always be the best ever!
james-he aint jordan but got huge potential the be 1 of the best wade-he got everything and all the skill he need he did 100% better than lebron in the finals and for the mavs they got all around scoring boston again they got straight shooter the knicks got melo billips amoire dnt forget the magic and the thunder stop sleepin on west brook and derick rose got next year watch
The problem with the obscure fact on comparing it to baseball is that the best teams in baseball have a much lower winning percentage than the best teams in basketball. Winning 95 games in baseball is very good, but percentage-wise, that's 48 in basketball, which is good enough to make it to the playoffs. They were comparing apples and oranges here.
@theclawism You are right about that, it's not really a fair comparison in that matter for sure.take the NFL, if a team goes 14-2 in the regular season, which has happened at least fourteen times in NFL history, the percentage is .875, the only team in NBA history to top that, CHICAGO .878 in the legendary '95-'96 season.
This game proves that they really had to work hard for each victory. It wasn't just given to them. Team chemistry, this is why today's Miami Heat didn't even get close to 70 despite all their talent.
@jp3813 You could'nt be more right.Once MJ had the offseason to get his true game shape and form back, and the BULLS signed worm, i think you knew the bulls would be a great team again that would compete for the NBA tittle.However nobody seen a 70 win season as a posibility until the bulls started the season on 23-2 & 41-3 runs.There was no stupid media and commentators making rediculous predictions like they we're for MIAMI last season.They just steamrolled the NBA with dominance and greatness.
Anyone who thinks different is dreaming!! JORDAN, PIPPEN and RODMAN are the best trio ever, just watch the way they played and the understanding between them!!! And they had others in the team that could score! No one comes close
I saw Jordan and Pippen both travel, and what the hell was that offensive foul at the end? Ridiculous. That being said, that team was still amazing. The NBA in 96' was not as good as today or that of earlier years. No Magic (his little comeback doesnt count), No Bird, No Lebran, No Good Kobe, No Duncun, No Bad Boys, and the Pacers didnt even make the play-offs in 96' cuz Reggie got injured.
@MrReggiebird You need to go check your facts. Pacers did make it to the playoffs and lost in the first round to Atlanta. Maybe you didn't have those guys you listed, but you did have Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Gary Payton, Dikembe Mutombo, John Stockton, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Penny Hardaway, Damon Stoudamire, Shawn Kemp, Grant Hill, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Shaq, Reggie Miller, Hakeem Olajuwon, do I keep going? Saying 95-96 wasn't as good as today is ridiculous.
@ItzEvident Kobe was unconscious during the 81-pt game, although it was against a 14-27 Raptors team. He's shot well below 50% on many occasions during other high-scoring performances. I'll argue that the show MJ put on against the Cavs in 1990, who made the playoffs, was more impressive than Kobe's 81-pt game. K. Bryant - 81 points (28/46 fg, 60.8%), 18/20 ft, 6 reb, 2 assist, 3 steals, 1 blk, 3 TO. M. Jordan - 69 points (23/37 fg, 62.2%), 21/23 ft, 18 reb, 6 assist, 4 steals, 1 blk, 2 TO.
@DBCOOPER888 we all know kobe is better scorer and more clutch than jordan and who knows who is better this is like ali sv tyson they both awesome but different eras you know i mean
@dilan4me silly child kobe are u serious better than jordan...tell you what put that pipe down!when has jordan lost in the finals never...kobe san antonio,boston.Can kobe retire for a while and come back and win 70 games and a championship dont think so.....
MJ never played 100% against teams that are below 50% in wins, he could have scored more but it wasn't a challenge for him. Best games he gave against playoff opponents and teams that needed lessons in humility. No doubt that MJ was greater player than KB even Kobe admits it. If you compare rules and lack of fundamentals and defence in today's basketball it would be more obvious what feat MJ achieved in 90's
Back in the day, when u had Bulls tickets u get great sex and great head. Chicks used to anything to be at a Bulls game. Now and days, Lakers tickets will get u good head but not the best. Miami tickets, some sex but not that good. Bulls tickets back in the day U GET IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
@buckda54 They would have to finish the season 19-1 in order to do so. It will not happen. They are capable of doing it but most really good teams tend to sag off towards the end of the season, starters sit, play limited minutes. I predict them to finish at around 67-15 if they are lucky.
@buckda54 I mean, think about it, the chicago bulls the following season were 69-11 with 2 games to go in the season in '96-'97, and they blew the final 2 games, and finished at 69-13.
@myASSYRIANpride I'm talking about attendance on the ROAD not the UC. Home crowd has always been good, but there are more road fans this year because the Bulls have been winning. Stacey King pointed that out during the broacasts.
@jyl500 March 24, 1996 - The Raptors beat the eventual NBA Champion Chicago Bulls by a score of 109-108. Michael Jordan attempted to win the game on the final shot. Though the ball went in, it did not count because the ball left his hand after the final buzzer. Toronto finished the season 21-61. The Bulls should NEVER have lost to them.
@Stlcards789 U & me both!! lol I was sick the follow'n season when they got 69 wins & almost got 70 back to back but lost that last regular season game!! History would of really been made 10 fold!!
U right but they coulda been 75-7 i remeber they lost 3 games by 1 pt to the raptors the hornets which was the 1st home loss and the final game against the pacers at home they lost by 1. Again this tema coulda went 75-7 they had 3 other games where they lost by 6 pts. so basically the bulls were in every game. the worst of all they lost to the knicks by 32 then the suns by 10. I woulda say the most 80 wins if they played a lil higher level no kidding
I kno I was at da garden dat day in March of 96. They probably was bored dat day but knicks blew dem out da building.. i think it was like 104-72..da gr8 ones cant bring it every nite now.
watching the dunks of 23 and 33 at the end micheal dunks like a ferrari that's going to the rim... where as scottie looks more like a lethal attack plane....just what it looks like to me.... GO BULLS!!
@SUSPECTISBEAST i will agree with you on the fact that the NBA is pretty strong right now(CELTICS,LAKERS,HEAT,SPURS,MAGIC,BULLS,MAVERICKS lead the class) i think this is probally the strongest the league has been in 10-12 years.BUT it's stiil not quite as strong as '96 was.i remember , so let me SCHOOL you a little on HISTORY LESSON 101. out side the GREAT BULLS you had SEATTLE who won 64 games,ORLANDO won 60,the Lakers won 55 and you had the KNICKS,SUNS,PACERS,JAZZ and the HOUSTON ROCKETS.
@delfra70 you're delusional if you think the league was stronger in terms of talent in 1996 versus today. Expansion had diluted the league in 96 and there hadn't yet been the relatively large influx of foreign talent into the league. Just because there were teams who won many games doesn't prove anything. It also means there were many terrible teams.
@tigerwoods232000 Maybe it wasn't stronger in terms of individual talent from top to bottom, but TEAMS were stronger in 96 when the NBA was still a team sport. And the large influx of foreign talent changed the top tier only slightly with 2 foreign all stars in 96 compared to 5 today (which really should be 4, Al Horford never played a game on foreign soil). But I would bet lots of money that the top 5 players and top 5 teams in 96 would beat todays top 5 teams and players, hands down.
@tigerwoods232000 Nah bruh, you're the one delusional, you have a so called great Lakers squad that just got swept by Dallas, and lose by 36 in the close out game, and this is supposed to best team of this stronger era you're claiming, come on now dog, let's be honest here.Talent wise,yes, the league is as strong as ever, i'll give you that, but as far as fundamentals, toughness and team play, it's not even close, '96 by a mile.
@tigerwoods232000 The "foreign talent" in the league today would have gotten manhandled in the 90s era. Plain and simple. Do you really think a Pau Gasol would have survived in the 90s?
And I think the point he was trying to make was that the teams who won a lot of games were the teams MJ was facing in playoffs/finals. MJ's Bulls defeated more 60+ win teams than Kobe and Magic combined in the playoffs, so the level of competition was higher among actual contenders.
@delfra70 I think the biggest difference is more in the individual players now because there's not one player who is dominating and winning championships while winning MVP's along with scoring titles and other individual accolades...
@Zachrydaman Yeah, you are right about that. I just think you had to be around at that time to really understand what you and i are talking about.The first thing some people think is you are putting the players of today down, and you're not. There is great players playing today, no doubt. They just don't dominate like Mj did,magic did, the dream did,shaq did.If you did not see Mj in his prime play, than they really can't tell you or myself nothing. we can judge because we remember than and now.
@upabittoolate Like you, just trying to make a point. Another thing people fail to realize, is how great the Bulls really we're. When MJ first retired in '93, the bulls won 55 games that follwing season, 55 games and nearly (should have) beat a great Knicks that that went to the championship that year. Now imagine the 80's Lakers without Magic, the Celtics without Bird, any great team without their best player, could they have still won 55 games, i wonder.
@delfra70 Yep. People forget that the Bulls fell short of 70 not long prior to that season. And NO team could've won 55 games after losing Michael Jordan. Then again, the 1st time Mike retired, The Bulls had 3 All-Stars (Pip, BJ & The General). But there's really no arguing your point because it's rock-solid.
@upabittoolate Right, did you know that the Bulls are the only team in NBA history to have 3 different seasons of 67 wins or more, and all within 5 years, amazing man. As illustrious and great as their respective franchises have been, the Celtics and Lakers have each accomplished this feat twice during their franchises whole existance. To my best knowledge, no other franchise has done this more than once, it goes to show you how special and great the Bulls we're during the 90's.
@upabittoolate You know your stuff man. Actually the Bulls should have recorded back to back 70 win seasons, the only reason they did'nt was they started resting players near the ending of the '97 season because they we're so many wins ahead of the everybody else, so they finished their last 4 games of the regeular season 2-2 with a ho-hum(being sarcassic)record of 69-13, still tied for second best in NBA history.
@delfra70 Yeah. The Knicks got lucky in that last game. That's why the 72 win season was so stunning. They didn't wait 'til the wire. I know last year's Bulls won quite a few games. I know Miami might make some noise. I even remember when Seattle got busy in the regular season then got shocked by Denver. NOBODY is coming close to the Bulls though. I'm from the Chi. I've played with Mike & Scottie on a few different occasions. I'm biased. But the data don't lie.
@upabittoolate That's alright, nothing wrong with being a little bias smoetimees my man, besides the facts back you poitns up. Man the Bulls we're just so dominant and consistent, they we're one of only 3 teams ever to have a 12 point scoring differential which is absolutely rediculous and unheard of, only the '72 Lakers 69-13 & '71 Bucks 66-16 accomplished this. I just picked up a special edition of Slam magazine called NBA BATTLES, it has dream match ups of the greatest teams and players.
@delfra70 Yep. People can talk about Russell's Celtics but they played in a league that had 14 teams. That LA team you mentioned played against a league with no lottery. During those years, the rich stayed rich or got richer. I'll give props to that Bucks team because they're the only team that deserve reasonable mention. Abdul-Jabbar's 32ppg + Big O are the only comp I see for Jordan & Pippen.
@upabittoolate Man i just noticed i mispelled sometimes in my last post, my bad. It's been some great teams throught the years and i have been around long enough to fortunantly see a lot of those squads.For me it's pretty earie, because that year the Bulls won 72 games i remember writing down the scores and statistics of every game, and i don't mean after game 30, i started from game 1 against Charlotte. The Bulls we're exceptional and extraordinary, that's for sure.
The 2007 Mavericks went 52-5 at one stretch during the year and couldn't win 70.
Seriously, I never want to hear any talk about a team's chances of winning 70 unless they're at least 38-4 to start a season, because even if you start that well chances are you'll still come up a few games short.
@realtalkfbs There's no way that the Miami Heat will break the record. Winning that many games in a season requires more than a few skilled players on a team. It requires a LEADER(which the Heat currently DON'T have...), TEAMWORK(which they will NEVER have with LeBron on their team) and most importantly UNBELIEVABLE coaching. I love Jordan and the whole Bulls organization, past and present...but can say honestly he wouldn't have won that many rings without Phil/ the rest of his team...
@SoxChi Everything you talk about took years to build not a couple of months. We do have a leader (D.wade) and once the team is healthy, the teamwork will get better and better. I agree that Spoelstra hasn't proven hisself, but that can be fixed easily by riles or Doc Rivers, maybe even Nate Mcmillan who are both free agents after the season. Remember I said maybe not this season, but these guys are going to be together for at least 4 years. They will win multiple championships! I
@realtalkfbs that's going to be awfully hard to do when they're losing games to mediocre teams. I'm not knocking you, you actually seem like you have a bit of basketball knowledge. Most people posting comments about the Heat are bandwagon fans. But, I think it'll be MUCH harder to do with Phil Jackson coaching Kobe. I agree it is a HIGHLY powered team, but Phil has 11 championship rings(9 as a coach, 2 as a player) for a reason. 9 rings out of 20 years is a ridiculous stat.

I saw Jordan and Pippen both travel, and what the hell was that offensive foul at the end? Ridiculous. That being said, that team was still amazing. The NBA in 96' was not as good as today or that of earlier years. No Magic (his little comeback doesnt count), No Bird, No Lebran, No Good Kobe, No Duncun, No Bad Boys, and the Pacers didnt even make the play-offs in 96' cuz Reggie got injured.
MrReggiebird 10 months ago
@MrReggiebird You need to go check your facts. Pacers did make it to the playoffs and lost in the first round to Atlanta. Maybe you didn't have those guys you listed, but you did have Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Gary Payton, Dikembe Mutombo, John Stockton, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Penny Hardaway, Damon Stoudamire, Shawn Kemp, Grant Hill, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Shaq, Reggie Miller, Hakeem Olajuwon, do I keep going? Saying 95-96 wasn't as good as today is ridiculous.

@ItzEvident Kobe was unconscious during the 81-pt game, although it was against a 14-27 Raptors team. He's shot well below 50% on many occasions during other high-scoring performances. I'll argue that the show MJ put on against the Cavs in 1990, who made the playoffs, was more impressive than Kobe's 81-pt game. K. Bryant - 81 points (28/46 fg, 60.8%), 18/20 ft, 6 reb, 2 assist, 3 steals, 1 blk, 3 TO. M. Jordan - 69 points (23/37 fg, 62.2%), 21/23 ft, 18 reb, 6 assist, 4 steals, 1 blk, 2 TO.

10yo kids should not comment on Jordan...
MJ never played 100% against teams that are below 50% in wins, he could have scored more but it wasn't a challenge for him. Best games he gave against playoff opponents and teams that needed lessons in humility. No doubt that MJ was greater player than KB even Kobe admits it. If you compare rules and lack of fundamentals and defence in today's basketball it would be more obvious what feat MJ achieved in 90's

@buckda54 They would have to finish the season 19-1 in order to do so. It will not happen. They are capable of doing it but most really good teams tend to sag off towards the end of the season, starters sit, play limited minutes. I predict them to finish at around 67-15 if they are lucky.

@jyl500 March 24, 1996 - The Raptors beat the eventual NBA Champion Chicago Bulls by a score of 109-108. Michael Jordan attempted to win the game on the final shot. Though the ball went in, it did not count because the ball left his hand after the final buzzer. Toronto finished the season 21-61. The Bulls should NEVER have lost to them.

U right but they coulda been 75-7 i remeber they lost 3 games by 1 pt to the raptors the hornets which was the 1st home loss and the final game against the pacers at home they lost by 1. Again this tema coulda went 75-7 they had 3 other games where they lost by 6 pts. so basically the bulls were in every game. the worst of all they lost to the knicks by 32 then the suns by 10. I woulda say the most 80 wins if they played a lil higher level no kidding

@SUSPECTISBEAST i will agree with you on the fact that the NBA is pretty strong right now(CELTICS,LAKERS,HEAT,SPURS,MAGIC,BULLS,MAVERICKS lead the class) i think this is probally the strongest the league has been in 10-12 years.BUT it's stiil not quite as strong as '96 was.i remember , so let me SCHOOL you a little on HISTORY LESSON 101. out side the GREAT BULLS you had SEATTLE who won 64 games,ORLANDO won 60,the Lakers won 55 and you had the KNICKS,SUNS,PACERS,JAZZ and the HOUSTON ROCKETS.
delfra70 1 year ago 48
@delfra70 you're delusional if you think the league was stronger in terms of talent in 1996 versus today. Expansion had diluted the league in 96 and there hadn't yet been the relatively large influx of foreign talent into the league. Just because there were teams who won many games doesn't prove anything. It also means there were many terrible teams.
tigerwoods232000 10 months ago
@tigerwoods232000 Maybe it wasn't stronger in terms of individual talent from top to bottom, but TEAMS were stronger in 96 when the NBA was still a team sport. And the large influx of foreign talent changed the top tier only slightly with 2 foreign all stars in 96 compared to 5 today (which really should be 4, Al Horford never played a game on foreign soil). But I would bet lots of money that the top 5 players and top 5 teams in 96 would beat todays top 5 teams and players, hands down.
chimike19 10 months ago
@tigerwoods232000 Nah bruh, you're the one delusional, you have a so called great Lakers squad that just got swept by Dallas, and lose by 36 in the close out game, and this is supposed to best team of this stronger era you're claiming, come on now dog, let's be honest here.Talent wise,yes, the league is as strong as ever, i'll give you that, but as far as fundamentals, toughness and team play, it's not even close, '96 by a mile.
delfra70 9 months ago
@tigerwoods232000 The "foreign talent" in the league today would have gotten manhandled in the 90s era. Plain and simple. Do you really think a Pau Gasol would have survived in the 90s?
And I think the point he was trying to make was that the teams who won a lot of games were the teams MJ was facing in playoffs/finals. MJ's Bulls defeated more 60+ win teams than Kobe and Magic combined in the playoffs, so the level of competition was higher among actual contenders.

upabittoolate 4 months ago
@upabittoolate Like you, just trying to make a point. Another thing people fail to realize, is how great the Bulls really we're. When MJ first retired in '93, the bulls won 55 games that follwing season, 55 games and nearly (should have) beat a great Knicks that that went to the championship that year. Now imagine the 80's Lakers without Magic, the Celtics without Bird, any great team without their best player, could they have still won 55 games, i wonder.
delfra70 4 months ago
@delfra70 Yep. People forget that the Bulls fell short of 70 not long prior to that season. And NO team could've won 55 games after losing Michael Jordan. Then again, the 1st time Mike retired, The Bulls had 3 All-Stars (Pip, BJ & The General). But there's really no arguing your point because it's rock-solid.
upabittoolate 4 months ago
@upabittoolate Right, did you know that the Bulls are the only team in NBA history to have 3 different seasons of 67 wins or more, and all within 5 years, amazing man. As illustrious and great as their respective franchises have been, the Celtics and Lakers have each accomplished this feat twice during their franchises whole existance. To my best knowledge, no other franchise has done this more than once, it goes to show you how special and great the Bulls we're during the 90's.
delfra70 4 months ago
@delfra70 Yes. I absolutely did know that. That's why no other team enters the conversation about "greatest".
upabittoolate 4 months ago
@upabittoolate You know your stuff man. Actually the Bulls should have recorded back to back 70 win seasons, the only reason they did'nt was they started resting players near the ending of the '97 season because they we're so many wins ahead of the everybody else, so they finished their last 4 games of the regeular season 2-2 with a ho-hum(being sarcassic)record of 69-13, still tied for second best in NBA history.
delfra70 4 months ago
@delfra70 Yeah. The Knicks got lucky in that last game. That's why the 72 win season was so stunning. They didn't wait 'til the wire. I know last year's Bulls won quite a few games. I know Miami might make some noise. I even remember when Seattle got busy in the regular season then got shocked by Denver. NOBODY is coming close to the Bulls though. I'm from the Chi. I've played with Mike & Scottie on a few different occasions. I'm biased. But the data don't lie.
upabittoolate 4 months ago
@upabittoolate That's alright, nothing wrong with being a little bias smoetimees my man, besides the facts back you poitns up. Man the Bulls we're just so dominant and consistent, they we're one of only 3 teams ever to have a 12 point scoring differential which is absolutely rediculous and unheard of, only the '72 Lakers 69-13 & '71 Bucks 66-16 accomplished this. I just picked up a special edition of Slam magazine called NBA BATTLES, it has dream match ups of the greatest teams and players.
delfra70 4 months ago
@delfra70 Yep. People can talk about Russell's Celtics but they played in a league that had 14 teams. That LA team you mentioned played against a league with no lottery. During those years, the rich stayed rich or got richer. I'll give props to that Bucks team because they're the only team that deserve reasonable mention. Abdul-Jabbar's 32ppg + Big O are the only comp I see for Jordan & Pippen.

The Bulls we're exceptional and extraordinary, that's for sure.

The 2007 Mavericks went 52-5 at one stretch during the year and couldn't win 70.
Seriously, I never want to hear any talk about a team's chances of winning 70 unless they're at least 38-4 to start a season, because even if you start that well chances are you'll still come up a few games short.

@realtalkfbs There's no way that the Miami Heat will break the record. Winning that many games in a season requires more than a few skilled players on a team. It requires a LEADER(which the Heat currently DON'T have...), TEAMWORK(which they will NEVER have with LeBron on their team) and most importantly UNBELIEVABLE coaching. I love Jordan and the whole Bulls organization, past and present...but can say honestly he wouldn't have won that many rings without Phil/ the rest of his team...
SoxChi 1 year ago
@SoxChi Everything you talk about took years to build not a couple of months. We do have a leader (D.wade) and once the team is healthy, the teamwork will get better and better. I agree that Spoelstra hasn't proven hisself, but that can be fixed easily by riles or Doc Rivers, maybe even Nate Mcmillan who are both free agents after the season. Remember I said maybe not this season, but these guys are going to be together for at least 4 years. They will win multiple championships! I
realtalkfbs 1 year ago
@realtalkfbs that's going to be awfully hard to do when they're losing games to mediocre teams. I'm not knocking you, you actually seem like you have a bit of basketball knowledge. Most people posting comments about the Heat are bandwagon fans. But, I think it'll be MUCH harder to do with Phil Jackson coaching Kobe. I agree it is a HIGHLY powered team, but Phil has 11 championship rings(9 as a coach, 2 as a player) for a reason. 9 rings out of 20 years is a ridiculous stat.
