The final shot and, shortly thereafter, ring #6.

It's amazing that this replaced the shot over Ehlo as one of the best I've seen, but given the situation its still just awesome. Damn I miss when the Bulls were a championship team.

the youngin's don't know how good they were . it's not just basketball good, it's like they made their own good fortune. it's hard to explain. like if they were down 20 in the 4th, they'd comeback and win by making all the good luck happen like they were some wizards.

a epic team like that we probably won't see for a very long time. maybe once or twice a century.

It's the greatest "still" shot ever. It's the centerpiece of my basement.

I'm sure every team has their memorable shots, but it just feels like the Bulls have three of the most memorable between the two Jordan shots and the Paxson finals game winning shot. I can't think of a memorable LeBron shot.

Let's just appreciate the moments, huh? You can jerk off to Lebron's failures later.

GOAT my ass, Pippen was a bad Hue Hollins call away from leading the Bulls to the Finals in '94. Willist, M. Jeff was riding the bus in AA.

I was working at the "GKC Co-Ed Movie Theater" on Green Street in Champaign and listening to this game on teh radio 20 years ago today.

Good times.

. . . except for when my girlfriend (who was a total sex maniac and a very flexible ex-gymnast) broke up with me 2 days later because I ditched her to watch the Grant Park Celebration on TV with a couple of my friends lol.

Yeah. Me too. One of the last teams built without the elite players in the league deciding who the championship teams are going to be. I cannot tell you guys how much I hate what is going on with a few players and team owners deciding who is going to compete and win.


Why even have an NBA season anymore? Seriously. We have Golden State and maybe four other teams fighting to lose to them. No team other than Cleveland, Boston, Houston, and maybe Philly in a couple of years can even win a game. The other teams are a joke.


So why would fans of a team say in Sacramento, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Phoenix or Chicago even spend a dime to watch a team that does not have a chance to win a title? Fuck the NBA. They have killed the league in the way they have allowed players to totally control what happens. And I do not believe for a minute that a lot of money gets sent to these players under the table to pay them off for taking "less money" to play for a team in order to win a championship.

That was a great a season as the Bulls ever had in my book. Pippin was a STUD and the Bulls got screwed out of a championship in that series. The NBA made sure of that.
