Pacers probably beats the Bulls if they met in the playoffs that year.

Wasn’t Drexler only there for 95? I’m pretty sure. With just Dream, Bulls beat them in 94. My question was does Drexler even consider Houston if they don’t win in 94.

As owner, I would say he was all to blame. He had arguably the greatest player and the greatest coach in NBA history and he allowed his GM to essentially fire/retire them both before the '98 season even started.
Allowed lol? He told Krause to do it, so he would be the bad guy. Dorf was cheap.

Kerr would have still been with the Bulls and not the Spurs, who won it all that year.


Kerr avg 9 mpg and 2 ppg in the playoffs. He didn’t even play every game. Spurs only lost 2 playoff games that year. They may have lost to Chicago, but Kerr wasn’t going to be the difference. 2003 Kerr was a different story.

they would have 4 peated if Jordan hadnt retired the first time to play baseball, maybe 5 or 6 peated. That's the crazy thing about Jordan, he had by far the best and most successful prime of any player ever, and that's without 2.5 years of it

what’s “barely”


Did you watch the Last Dance?

Why do you think it was called that?

They knew going into that season they had one last run in them, the physical toll on the team by the time they finished off the Jazz was insane

Hell if Jordan doesn’t make that shot and it goes to game 7, who knows

They won the championship in 6 games, dumb arse.

And those Pacers were stout that year, so I understand going 7 games that year.

But there was essentially no cap to pay your own players. Jordan wanted a 2 year, $36 million deal. He instead signed a 1 year $30 million deal. They absolutely had the means to keep the team together for an additional year if they wanted to.

Reinsdorf is one of the worst owners in sports. He just lucked out by pulling Jordan at 3. Look at what he's done to the White Sox. It's worse than Dan Snyder.

The 8th seed knicks made the finals so they would have met the spurs in the finals. Who knows about that but I would have taken Michael Jordan. The spurs weren’t in full form yet
