And they still lost in the second round. 55-27 doesn't mean a thing in the end.

Wasn't this matchup in 2k11 too. I played all the games in MJ mode but it was like the first week 2k11 came out so it's been a while, that and my memory is not very good. Regardless, I love seeing Ron Harper in a game, one of my favorite PG's of all time. I'm sure it will be in some new presentation though.

Are you guys talking about this jersey?

Bulls weren't TECHNICALLY one win away from the Finals in 94 but in reality they were one win away. They owned Indiana that year and split the season series with Houston. I honestly think they would have beaten Houston in 5 or 6. They would have let Hakeem get 35 ppg and would have keyed in on all those guards for the Rockets.

And if not for huge blown leads in games one and two they coulda swept NY!

Game 5 ending was total BS Pip did BARELY touch Davis long after the shot was out of his hands.

I think they are talking about the early 90s jerseys which the jersey you posted was made after.

Good points brought up by you and Sportjames. I am a HUGE Tar Heel fan and I was a fan of the Bulls back in the day; that said, as a Tar Heel, Scottie Pippen did not foul former Heel Hubert Davis on that jump shot. The Bulls probably would have won that game if Davis had not have been sent to the free throw line, and it's conceivable that the Bulls would have won the next game in Chicago on it's way to wrapping up the series. I could see them beating the Pacers like you said in the EC Finals. However I think the Rockets would have beat the Bulls in 5 or 6. That's just my opinion, and I could very well be way off

But like I said, good points from you and Sportsjames. I think the teams close to these years (Sonics, Bulls, Knicks, Magic) are going to be a blast to play with and against.

I had a pair of those Red Nike Flight's. Pippen 93-94 statistically was ridiculous. 22.0 PPG, 8.7 REB, 5.6 AST, 2.9 STL, .8 BLK, .491 FG%, .660 FT%. You won't see many all around statlines like that anymore. I guess that 93-94 was the year that The Admiral scored 70 something points in the final game of the year to win the scoring title?

I know many here LOVE the 1996 Bulls. As much as I loved this team, I can't stand it now because it's everywhere, as if other Bulls teams never existed (I still love the '96 Sonics, though). I actually loved the early 90's Bulls more, and am also going to play a lot with the 1989 Bulls and Pistons. The 1996 Bulls? Well, maybe after I get tired of the 1989/1993 Bulls.

Yessir, led his team in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals. Capped it all off by dropping 71 against the Clippers on the last day of the regular season (also dropped a quadruple double on Detroit earlier in the year). His supporting cast wasn't necessarily crazy awesome though (their second leading scorer was a 33 year old Dale Ellis) so their playoff success was limited once those stupid Jazz focused all their attention on Mr. Robinson. Things are never going to work out well when your third leading playoff scorer is a 31% shooting Negele Knight.

And sure, you're saying, "Well that sounds like a bunch of excuses to me." To which I'd then respond, "Yep, you're absolutely right." Pip, Hakeem, and David were all insanely valuable to their clubs that year. I just thought too many things had fallen in line for David for him not to win. He even shot 35% from the arc! (ah-hem, on 29 attempt)

I agree with you buddy. First thing I'm going to do is unlock the 1991 Bulls, so I can enjoy them along the 1989 and 1993 Bulls. Chicago Stadium rules!

Honestly, I want both. I want the old school retros because I love them. I want the newest versions so when I take the Sonics into Association, it feels more realistic.

They got the '91 Bulls on the game? I must have missed something. Oh well...pleasant surprise.

I think all the previous Bulls teams from 2K11 are in 2K12, plus the 1992-1993 Bulls are in 2K12

Cool. I was thinking it was just '89 (Zeke), '93 (MJ), '96 (Pip), & '98 (random unlock). That's good news fellas.

# 37 aloncho11 @ 09/20/11 01:41 PM

The 1991 Bulls and 1998 Bulls are unlockable teams. No 1992, 1995, nor 1997 Bulls though, but no biggie.

Good. And rumor has it that you unlock these "bonus" teams by random play right (like the Jordans in 2K11)? Like play enough games and '91 Bulls are unlocked since there is no Greatest Mode game for them?

I know, I know...MJ was a better shooter in 1996. But I would take this...

...over this...

Any day!

But that's me...
