The 1998 run was MJ's most impressive title run because that team was running on fumes. They wouldn't have won it the following years. Scottie missed 38 games. Kerr missed like 32. Rodman was on his last legs.

[@ThePatman1980]

Jerry Krause has been dead for 3 years but we shouldn't make him the scapegoat and antagonist to all this. The 1994 Bulls still won 55 games with Pete Myers replacing MJ as the starting shooting guard! Pete Myers! 🤣

Yes they were one their last legs by the end of the finals. No way to prove this, but I think if he misses that shot the Bulls get blown out of Utah in game 7.

@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 The 80s Celtics and Lakers were stacked teams. In the first 3peat, there was MJ, a developing Pip and Grant and John Paxson. So that's one superstar, one kinda all star and a bunch of role players. In the second 3peat, there was MJ, Pip, and Rodman and Kukoc and a bunch of role players. So you had an aging MJ and Rodman (and Rodman didn't even look to score much), an inconsistent and sometimes injury hampered Pippen, and a bunch of role players.

Although, your feelings about Krause may be justified. There's no denying that he did help bring one of the greatest dynasties in sports history to Chicago. Krause is not the only one at fault here. They all had egos!

God bless Lebron for that NBA players they have a say in what they want. Also the mentality of players in the 90s they think other players from other teams (enemies) which makes it difficult to move to another team. Just stay here play for our team we own you. I’m glad players now says ( f ... that I’m out, trade me before I leave) 👍🏽 god bless Lebron

[@ddhassan5607]

Rehan Khan I meant the owner dominant over a player. Lebron gave the finger to cavaliers owner . After that he absolutely free to do what he wants. The league follows. And that benefited players. They got more money . Look at Jordan times . Even Jordan got hard time. Forget about Scottie pip. Compare that to Kawhi decision, AD, KD .... Old players hate Lebron partly cuz of this. They just wish they had such influence.

[@mattcurzon7845]

Funny that for year's, all the "experts" always say Pippen was drafted by Chicago when he was actually drafted by the Seattle Supersonics & traded on draft night.

[@ThePatman1980]

The 1998 run was MJ's most impressive title run because that team was running on fumes. They wouldn't have won it the following years. Scottie missed 38 games. Kerr missed like 32. Rodman was on his last legs.

[@kb4231]

I agree better yet I'm almost positive that if MJ misses that shot they don't win game 7. That game 6 was all the had left which wasn't much.

[@briizy300]

The puzzle analogy was good I love Shannon analysis on this

[@XxDanny80xX]

Jerry Krause cost the Bulls 5 or 6 more rings in the 2000’s because with Phil leaving to The Lakers Kobe could have been a Chicago Bull having an extended version of MJ in the near future for the organization of Phil Jackson career had they kept him & Jerry K understanding his role keeping his mouth shut. Just think about it Kobe and Shaq could have been Bulls. Then missed another shot adding Lebron, Wade, Carmelo at the tail end of Kobe’s era which could have been even more rings on top. I mean a total of 15 NBA championships through the 90’s, 2000’s, & 2010’s if not more. Bulls are the dumbest organization to let Phil Jackson go. Bulls could have been the New York Yankees of the NBA.

The funny thing about Krause was. He wanted credit for the dynasty so bad that he destroy it himself. The Bulls was never dethrone by another team like the other NBA dynasty. His ego was so big that he believe he could've built another dynasty without MJ. What did he do, oh yea draft a bunch of bust. If he was such a great GM like he claims, he would still be successful after the MJ Bulls.

In a weird way, this secured the Bulls legendary status, as they went out on top! But I was devastated when it happened! And that last year was TOUGH. No Pippen until Xmas and then the 7 game series against Indiana, when if I remember right, they were down 20 heading into 4th of game 7.

Jordan's Bulls are the best because of the 2 three-peats, too many highlights to mention compared to the other teams, too many buzzer beaters even compared to games these days. Michael Jordan jumps and dunks sideways during a game, elevates and stays in the air a bit longer, shoots his jumpshots and fadeaways with a different flair and with impressive accuracy. He's not from Earth, he's just an impressive being, and he's the Greatest Of All Time. Thank you MJ for the best NBA era the world has ever seen.

I was 18 when the Bulls won that last 3-peat. Born and raised in Chicago. There is no question in my mind they would have won the next year making it 4 straight. Especially since it was a short season because of the strike. The shortened season would have given the Bulls enough rest to be ready for the playoffs. Bulls vs Spurs would have been a great series!
