[@JelaniWood]

Before I watch Im gonna add my theory to this discussion. I grew up outside of Chicago and through my Uncle I started watching the NBA in the 84-85 season, the year before MJ showed up. My Uncle was stoked when the Bulls drafted MJ and couldnt stop telling me about it. I was going on 9 years old and had never seen him play but I took his word for it and to say he was right would be THE understatement. I followed the NBA like a fiend until the 1999 season for what should be obvious reasons. I say all of this to say the Bulls ever since then have been cursed. NEVER again shall they have sustained success. You run MJ, Scottie, Dennis, AND Phil out of Chicago for the sake of one individuals ego over the organization and you are forever cursed! I couldnt stand watching those Lakers teams that won 3 in a row because they just literally drank the Bulls formula with that same Bulls coaching staff and even a few of the same players. So in short Jerry Krause and Jerry Reinsdorf forever cursed this franchise. D-Rose paid the price too for this same curse. Thibs career too. Even now with Lonzo. It all goes back to Krause and Reinsdorf.

Not sure if it was just neglect from the bulls staff or just a time before there were people watching and correcting debilitating habits. Either way, I can’t imagine suffering so many injuries and going through each recovery process.

So much blame to go around. Jerry Reinsdorf is low key one of the worst owners in sports. Making Scottie Pippen play out that atrocious contract got the Bulls black listed by agents which haunts them to this day. For an atrocity of more recent vintage we need look no further than the Vucevic trade. I hated this move with a passion the second it happened. Adding Vuc hard capped their ceiling at 50 wins which they failed to even realize. This is the kind of move that plays in Sacramento where a cute, scrappy underdog story is among the better outcomes. This is Chicago however and a cute scrappy team is not an acceptable goal for a big market team with elite pedigree. Worse yet two young players they totally failed to develop, Markkanen and Wendell Carter have thrived with their new teams. Patrick Williams who is the epitome of mediocrity wants 200 million and Coby White can't guard his house with a shotgun. Finally screw Jimmy Butler! He's a big mouth phony who never delivered in the playoffs as a Bull. His whole "I'm the hardest worker who's too really real" schtick was incredibly annoying. The reality is they need to tear this roster down to the screws and start over. Obviously this guarantees nothing but the current 30 to 35 win trajectory guarantees misery in perpetuity.

You just glossed over how the Bulls organization decided they didn't want to win championships anymore.

They wanted to prove that front offices, not players, win championships so they decided to not even try to defend their [6th] championship. One of the most dumb-founding decisions in sports history, just deciding that winning isn't enough, they had to win *their way*, with new personnel, a new coach... unbelievably egotistical.

[@im_cart8656]

im probably considered a fair weather fan though at this point im so detached from the nba out of basically pure spite from what garpax did to the team. i started watching the bulls the season before Rose was drafted as i figured i needed something to watch that wasn't just the dallas cowboys and stumbled into my studio apartment hung over when i was 18 saw the bucks and bulls playing and literally just flipped a mental coin on who i would obsessively follow like i did the cowboys. Rose was a phenom and it really helped that 3/4s of their games were national games since you could catch them WGN-TV. every game he had 2-3 plays that you could only really see what he did when they played it in slow motion. having a team that was known for defense had an ULTRA humble super star in rose (who never flopped.... ever) and overall just a super likeable cast of supporting players in deng/joakim/taj and the nose grinder thibs directing the show. what a great time to be a fan. also in that conference finals every game was decided by 1-2 points (except for the one the bulls one i think)... not to mention the amount of fouls that the heat got called in their favor compared to the bulls was and still is insane to me.. though that typified Rose's career. that is not getting fouls called for him cause he didn't sell and dramatize every contact (real or imagined) when he went into the paint compared to those prima donnas. if the bulls had a tenth of those calls go in their favor they win the conference. also a shout out to stacy king.. he is the most goated up announcer ever.

18:15 I know ppl don’t want to admit it but the Jimmy Zach trade actually looks better and better. Since he left Chicago, Jimmy had only played in 60 games in a season and single time. And while he 100% has his playoff moments, he also swings wildly the other way. And in the regular season, Zach gets more buckets and is more consistent having only NOT played 60 games in a single season over the same time frame and it was 58 games where he averaged 27 points a game. He played 77 last year. Thats what Chicago needed. An absolute work horse night in , night out. That was the right trade. Jim really was the issue. I say that as a bulls fan which I’m sure, tragically, you’ll cover next.

[@richborn6700]

So you'd rather have a regular season volume shooter who may or may not even get you to the first round, vs someone who plays a bit less but has been in two finals and an ECF in four years?

[@TripleM24]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@shannysalcedo3627]

please delete this comment.... Zach Lavine over me!!

[@comicman06tv36]

You should do one on how Seattle SuperSonics went from nba finals to relocated that would be something good to tackle

[@omglolwtf9]

What is the song starting at 8:14 ?

[@UnGetabletify]

As much as Bulls sucked, they for sure arent more depressing than the Hornets or Pistons

[@lonerchild1]

Facts 😂

[@eliavim3169]

Can you do Rockets downfall from their 95 championship to present day?

[@paxtonpickett3456]

I knew who Fred was because I watch Rondo but I never realized why the front office was so horrible when they were there and it seems like they were working against them. But in your video you were saying that they're looking for a reason to fire. Jimmy Butler which makes sense

[@saucemorant11]

With DeMar being our main scorer y’all have to realize that zo wasn’t the only reason why we went #1 We also had DeMar averaging 30 points a game which definitely helped we also had Alex Caruso who is a fuckin unit on defense those 3 were the biggest pieces and it really helped our franchise injuries just got too us and it’s sucks But I’m happy that lonzo can make a return soon at least that’s what he’s saying

[@jdtp95.]

This is the longest bathroom break I've ever taken at work

[@jeanm182]

It sucks to be a bulls fan😭 worst part of it is that the owner doesn’t care, we are still running it again with a core that is a play-in team at best, bad coaching and where the only guys that plays defense is Caruso. Hope they go in full rebuild mode so at least we can get a good pick, but knowing this franchise, they will screw everything again🤦🏽‍♂️

[@yungmu9271]

Great video dude. It’s about time someone spoke on the Bulls. As a supporter since the Rose glory days it’s just been disaster after disaster sometimes to an incredible degree that you think yeah we might’ve genuinely sold our souls for the Jordan era. Recently the tide has turned a bit on AK and ME too but the aggressiveness they showed in bringing Vooch as soon as they got hired showed they know what they’re doing. It’s depressing but imma continue supporting.

[@ashbiemoon]

Keep making great content Dylan!

[@jaredwright5644]

Greatest NBA franchise??? Seriously? Other than the Jerry Sloan days, the Jordan prime years of the late 80s till 1998, and a couple Derrick Rose seasons before his knee blew up, the Bulls were pure horseshit. Ask the 11 people that paid attention to them before Jordan was drafted.

[@Cool_Boi66]

litterly just finished his raptors video then i see this, so hype!

[@enjoyer3000]

This is super unrelated to the actual video. But thankyou for linking the music you used, been looking for that outro song for a solid few years💚

[@futureDreamer4]

The Bulls messed up when they allowed Ben Gordon walk. He would have helped against the Heat.Then trading Jimmy sealed their fate.

[@roboninja3194]

Yea Gordon erupted in so many 4th quarters and he won them games because of this. I've been a lifelong Bulls fans as I grew up in Chicago. Since the Jordan era ended the Bulls have let so many good players go. All the ones named in the video but what wasn't shown is all the awful draft pics and the guys they passed on. The Rose ACL tear and trading Butler were the 2 killers of the team. If Rose doesn't get hurt I feel like the Bulls win a title between 2011-2015.

[@SISKCERTWaJaVlogs]

and constantly mismanaging their players leading them to have season ending/career altering injuries

[@Sanderus]

The Bulls are overrated as a franchise because of their sheer luck in drafting the best player to ever play the game and somehow they were competent enough not to screw it up. They were mediocre at best pre Jordan, they have been mediocre at best post Jordan. Come on, D Rose squad was never going anywhere. This organisation was not even able to teach the guy how to land and they also overplayed their starters like crazy. Rose being drafted by Chicago was his curse.

[@14thninja]

The bulls medical staff needs to be investigated for how many players careers suffer from injuries, it’s too many for a coincidence

[@do3807]

Nah fr, I can barely watch D Rose highlights sometimes because of those landings. I just flinch

[@Hicks-g1m]

As a Bulls fan this hurts but it is the truth and I blame Jerry Reinsdorf that greedy owner for not making the Bulls championship contenders again. It's all his fault

[@xlvii6994]

the first go around it wasn't his making anyway he was lucky to land a seven up and orange juice kid by the name of Michael Jordan that guy made them contend after that his cheap ways got this franchise in lala land

[@alexziobro7826]

Yeah he’s a cheap bastard

[@richborn6700]

The guy has too much ego. To say Phil could win 82 straight and a sixth championship but was still going to be let go after '98 was absolutely foolish.

[@alexziobro7826]

@@richborn6700 that was Jerry Krause that said that. He was a fucking idiot too

[@nataliejarosz9360]

He is the weakest link, and Bill Krause doesn't deserve quite as much shit as he gets for the destruction of the 90s dynasty. I guess all we can do is wait until there's a different owner.

[@MattTax_R6]

And after that d rose injury thibs became my most hated cosch oat… great coach… but just never plays his bench that’s why they lost this year cuz they were so worn out and they all got injured… like why is rose in THE GAME UP 20 WITH 1:10

[@kelpjuice6]

calling Coby White a bust ain't it. MIP season incoming

[@big_mus]

if coby a bust then theres alot of busts in every draft

[@Angry_Peanut_52]

If any of the recent Bulls first-round draft picks are busts, it's Patrick Williams and it ain't even close

[@deedunn1989]

Coby White definitely not a dud right now. Dude been balling out this seaaon

[@IsraelQuiroz]

I LIVED THROUGH THE FRED HOIBERG-JIM BOYLEN ERA AND LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS A DARK TIME

[@Nr4747]

I don't agree that the Bulls are "the worst" NBA franchise when we look at the timeline between 1998 and now. I would rank the Hornets, Kings and Nets as worse.

[@PeterDuffII]

Drafting Coby White “turned out to be a dud”??? Bro must be mental, Coby has been the only bright spot for the Bulls this whole year

[@camgoczeski2198]

Yea,everything in this vid was pretty spot on except for him calling Coby a dud 😂

[@camgoczeski2198]

Also didn’t mention how injuries ruined the current bulls roster. Lonzo, Caruso, and Lavine’s injuries hurt the team real bad

[@Keese-WIG]

One reason. The greatest of all time. The Bulls were nothing before him, they've been nothing after him. Seems silly that Krause was in such a hurry to see him off. The Bulls could've won maybe two more titles had Krause kept the band together. Instead he tore it down, built an outhouse in place of the mansion.

[@jacktemple8525]

Dylan why i wasn't looking to cry today 😢😢😢 but i was hoping for a bulls video

[@andrefaelnar]

They could've at least gave them one more chance to defend their crown in 1999 and if they eventually lose to San Antonio, then im okay with that since the core is getting older and then they can do their rebuilding phase afterwards.

[@stephv6381]

Just shows how good Jordan was. Management was a mess when Jordan was there also.

[@taykitrleevitt4314]

Phil Jackson... without him, the Bulls would never have won anything.

[@deanchambers8613]

One word. Reinsdorf. Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world, they really should be way better than they are.

[@lanceliverpool1574]

Title comes from a world where Minnesota, New Orleans and Charlotte don’t have Teams
