Youth is no excuse sonny.


I said free agency era. Those Lakers and Celtics teams were before that era. I count everything after 1988 and Tom Chambers unrestricted free agency.

The Bulls weren't products of the free agent era.

Outside of Jordan, they were. Their core was draft picks, trades and free agent signings.

There wasn't one major free agent signing during the Championship years.

A good one was Brian Williams. He was a starting center but came off the bench for us.

Found this hilarious. Talking about gems that got left on the cutting floor.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/the-last-dance-director-reveals-his-favorite-michael-jordan-story-that-didnt-make-the-10-hour-documentary/
"Everyone knows the story of him being cut. We had to cover that, but that's kind of common knowledge. But his rise between sophomore year and senior year, his high school coach finagling him into five-star basketball camps by lying about his stats. He was embellishing his stats just to get him in there because he was not on the map at all. No one was coming down to look at high school kids in Wilmington, North Carolina. He was there for a week and that's what his parents could afford, and he did so well that first week that he got MVP of the entire camp.

You had Patrick Ewing, Len Bias and some other guys were at the camp as well, but Michael, or Mike, at that point, blew everybody away. They begged him to stay for a second week because more college coaches wanted to see him play, and the parents said 'we can't afford it.' So they said 'OK, we'll pay for him if he works in the kitchen as a waiter for all the other kids.' Michael got MVP that second week and he was a waiter serving kids fruit punch and grilled cheeses and then going out and wasting these kids later on on the court ... Little anecdotes like that, I would have loved to get it in, but we had a lot of story to tell and it's all grounded in that '97-98 season, so at a certain point you have to kill some darlings, as Hemmingway would say."


Don't disrespect the server.

Is it any wonder that he killed everyone else at that camp? Forever. :lol:

If someone told them them to put him in that situation on purpose...stroke of genius. Someone had to know exactly what that would do.

There's no way they would survive.

Lebron would play dead.
