Thank you. I very much agree. If you slow anything down enough on a replay, you can pretty much mold your own reality. Jordan's "push off" replay kind of reminds me of Drexler's famous swooping dunk against the Lakers.



In regular speed, from the normal angle, it's an impressive one-handed dunk. In the slow motion replay from the baseline, it looks like Clyde took off from half-court and air walked to the basket.

Was their contact between Jordan's hand and Russell? Yes. Did it make Bryon fall backward out of position like he did? I really, really don't think so. I don't think that hand being there or not being there would have altered the result.

"yeah but u forget that back in Russel´s days, the league had only 11 TEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!with all due respect to Russel,i don´t think he would won that many rings in the 80 or the 90`s"


Uh Bill Russell would have still been a dominating force in the league in those eras Would he have won 11 we will never know but the facts still remain and they did have some competitive players back then They may not have had that many teams but still he dominated everybody. He maybe still be the only big man to block a shot and still keep the ball in bounds(His defense is still unmatched today). Remember if it wasn't for Bill Russell there would no Michael Jordan. MJ has said the same thing. He made it possible that there would be more black guys in the league b/c at 1st they wasn't haven't no blacks being stars of their teams. THANK YOU BILL RUSSELL FOR HELPING MAKING IT POSSIBLE! MICHAEL JORDAN WILL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN. Like I said Bill Russell Still got those 11 rings Though.

Man no doubt, the 96 Chicago Bulls are like the Batman of the NBA and possibly all of sports. No matter the question, no matter what, the answer is always the 96 Bulls

Measuring teams vs teams just based on talent alone is only part of the equation. How the team fits together is more important than how much skill you have on your roster.

My biasedness beats your biasedness

I'd protect my legacy too if I was those dudes. As for the second video? Clearly that's somebody bitter about the Jordan Bulls putting together a video to fit his argument about why Jordan and the Bulls really weren't that great. We know this cause he brings up Jordan losing to the Celtics of the 80's like that's supposed to prove something. Jordan's teams in the 80's were trash and he still was dropping 60 on dudes. If he had even just the Pippen of the 90's in those days how would things be? We'll never know but trying to justify Jordan's Bulls not being able to beat Dr J's squads or Bird and the C's because he lost in the mid to late 80's is laughable.
