This is the story of why the 90s Bulls dynasty ended before it had to.

[@Dom2k16]

The Bulls dynasty ended in 1998 after their 6th title, yet, nobody ever asks why. They were still on top, Michael still had plenty of good years left, and there’s no doubt they could’ve retooled to attempt a few more runs. This is the story of why they all agreed to call it quits before they had to.

To come out and say a 5 time championship team wasnt going to keep their coach before the season even started (even if they went 82-0) is pretty egotistical. Saying "players dont win championships, organizations do" clearly minimizes player effort and talent. It wasn't solely his fault but he certainly is a centerpiece for some major drama.

Don't ever put the organization over the players. Yeah, the organization is mostly responsible for putting the team together, but at the end of the day and the chips are down, the players shoulder the organization. THey have to carry a team to victory and they're the ones who have to accommodate their egos for the good of the team. THe organization can't quite literally declare themselves the winners of games.

But if your thinking of comparable players i say guys lik tony parker and kyle lowry. Guys who overachieved by finding a system that perfectly complements thier play style and being smart enough not to mess it up long enough to put together a long run of winning seasons as the floor general and go to guy late in games. Parker is a HOF Lowry isnt (yet, if they somehow win it this year he is by NBA standards but still shouldn't be imo) Billups is inbetween the 2. But none of those guys are guys i think of when i think of dominating players and thats mostly what the HOF should be for.

Every time I hear this story it gets me upset. But, statistically speaking, this 98 Bulls team and that roster still had some good basketball left in them. This team beat the Jazz 96-54 in game 4 of the 98 Finals and everyone thought the series was gonna be over after game 5, but Karl Malone had a monster game 5. Jordan even stated in an interview with Amhad Rashad for his 50th birthday that that Bulls team had about 3 good years left in them.

[@akeme25]

I was hoping somebody would make a video about this. This dynasty just ended out of nowhere. A lot of dynasties normally ended slowly due to the players aging and other factors, but this one, they were just champions one year and did a complete 180 and were a lottery team the next year.

Jordan was playing with a meniscus tear, back spasms, 2 cracked ribs, wrist tendinitis, tendinitis in his opposite knee and he cut a bone in his shooting hand a few years earlier that was removed so he could no longer grip the ball like he used to and was retired the previous 3 seasons before!

4:16 "He felt like he'd drafted Jordan." Krause didn't draft Jordan. Jordan was drafted in 1984. Krause didn't join the Bulls until 1985, a full year after Jordan had joined the Bulls. You can credit him with building the team around Jordan, but he did *not* draft the greatest player of all time. That honor goes to Naismith Hall of Famer Rod Thorn, who would later go on to build 1992's legendary Dream Team (with Jordan as the main centerpiece) and later win Executive of the Year in the early 2000's after building the Nets franchise that won the Eastern Conference and went to the finals two years in a row (the Nets' first ever, and as of this moment, only ever Finals appearances)!

[@ChiGuy251]

That year the Bulls just had a feeling of finality to them. Even though it wasn't really discussed publicly it was understood that '98 was it for them. To compound this it was reported that Scottie was drunk on the back of the team bus and demanded a trade early that season and Jordan sniping at Rodman and telling Kerr he shouldn't have came back. I think that internal turmoil was a huge factor in the vulnerability they had that year more so than any physical wear and tear but still I believe if they held that group together they would've won in '99 it being a lockout and being the most experienced squad would've got them through imo.

Don't forget that Scottie Pippen missed half of the 1997-1998 season. Bulls could have easily won 70+ games

[@amalguptan6716]

Um.... he clearly said that in the video

[@alexfurtado7254]

Greatest Dynasty in sports in my opinion other than the New York Yankees. 6 titles in 8 years and possibly could've been 7 if not for the horrible foul call against the Knicks in 1994. It's a shame it had to end when it did but people really do forget how hard of a struggle 98 was especially on a 34 year old Jordan. It's arguably his greatest championship season given everything that went down.

[@matija9540]

*60s Celtics have entered the chat*

[@alexfurtado7254]

Matija Radizlović respect to Boston but only because the lack of teams in the league would I consider the Bulls greater.

[@alexfurtado7254]

Skip Bayless Arguable Skiiip, depends on which Lakers dynasty. Each one lost in the finals though while Bulls didn't. The Bulls also 3 Peated twice while Shaq and Kobe only did once

[@matija9540]

Alex Furtado lack of teams means every team had good players only since there was less players that could be in the league Edit: spelling

[@alexfurtado7254]

Matija Radizlović Not really. There were a lot of guys who didn't play in the NBA that would've been really good, or guys that played in the ABA instead. The talent pool was a lot more narrow but there were a lot of players like Don Nelson that wouldn't have been able to play in the 90s

[@b.w.8909]

There are so many pieces of Basketball history nobody really talks about

[@afxaloha89]

thank you for this, as a very young Chicagoan in the late 90s the mythic status of what occurred at the end there has really gotten out of control.

[@JahzaraDaddy]

Great video bro. Can’t wait for the ESPN 30 for 30 on the bulls

[@pheebetio9152]

Jordan dynasty is the only team left undefeated till this day 🐐

[@MarcusHansen276]

Derrick Rose was a God in his prime

[@SixersOctavian]

Loved this. Would love to see more content like this on the breakups of other notable teams. I find rebuilds and what leads to the necessitation of a rebuild to be fascinating.

[@Think1stMedia]

Great Research. Never heard any commentary that refers to this from your viewpoint. This is better than any basketball /story/documentary that I have ever seen that discussed thr demise of the bulls.

[@awayinmymind3970]

I always like your videos before I even watch them because Dom only drops bangers.

[@vincentchen356]

First you one of the best creators out here🔥🙏🏼

[@PunkProfess0r]

The 98 Utah Jazz were the best team in the nba

[@donnadunbar5342]

Facts

[@tashrif46]

5:08 Krausse wanted to trade Pippen for a long long time like after Jordan retired in 1993 they wanted to get Shawn Kemp straight up for Pippen, they were paying him less money, like it was a very tense situation and plus the fact Phil Jackson also used to frustrate Scottie a lot by drawing plays for Kukoc and all that

[@arammeraz4269]

As a Spurs Fan, a 1999 Bulls vs Spurs Finals is my greatest “what if” scenario that I would have LOVED to see. Having the Twin Towers be the ones to end the Bulls dynasty directly would have been amazing.

[@shauncameron8390]

@Skip Bayless Every year except 2003.

[@giovahnnigucci409]

Wow, man you really did your research on this one. Bro I’m from San Antonio, and I never thought of that! The spurs had Duncan Robinson, Avery Johnson, oh and the Memorial Day Miracle shot clutch Sean Elliott!!

[@chaotic5907]

Definitely the greatest

[@therealmikebrown]

Scottie said he would never re-sign with the Bulls. After 98 his contract was up. Jordan and Phil sided with him and left. The only reason he re-signed was so they would trade him to Houston.

[@kingcimtv4351]

Who else on the noti squad

[@dash4800]

The craziest thing about Jordan is how much he accomplished vs how few games he played. I can't even imagine what he would have done had he played 20 yrs straight

[@286mic]

"this team shouldn't have even won the 98 championship" THANK YOU. people totally leave out what happened that year. The Pacers were better than year and custom built to beat the Bulls.

[@ButterToTheMilk]

This makes me appreciate Jordan even more with the fact he won that last chip

[@enderbane231]

Who’s here after the last dance came out?

[@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t]

They gonna have all this stuff on that big MJ 30 for 30

[@raurman4946]

Bulls would have easily repeated in 99' for the simple fact it was a very short lockout season. It would have only helped an old team like Chicago.

[@greghmn]

It's just like in _Rick and Morty._ Guys named Jerry ruin *everything.*

[@bigrandy6127]

Great vid as always, but we need that greatest playoff series pt 3 my man! I know u prolly working on it We will be Patient but we need that vid lol

[@Dante-summrsinparis]

Aka preview for THE LAST DANCE

[@emmanuelizrailov4274]

Yo u should do more vids like this really good

[@WillJM81280]

That Bird faceplant... And he came back in that game & dominated with broken orbital bones & double vision, (pbly also a concussion). Baby Bronbron quits bc of no AC.

[@mariano3460]

i always wondered that same question!thanks man, outstanding

[@DarellDavie1]

It is what it is.

[@blowc1612]

The 98 season solidified Jordan’s GOAT.

[@thomasr7044]

Amazing vid man keep up the good work

[@MrJustin2306]

Jordan and Pippen had a secret bet. Whoever wins a ring first wins...

[@thatguy-ij4in]

I watched this video a year ago and instagram going recommend it again 😂 the last dance

[@jhendogaming]

Can't wait for the Bulls' documentary to come out.

[@Ko_kB]

It's amazing that they won through such dysfunction

[@kalikokhronic9169]

Solid upload thanks dom

[@AlonsoRules]

1999 Chicago Bulls - best basketball team ever They scored under 50 points in the shot clock era. It takes a special team to do that.

[@GtheGreat1]

Great video, your getting better

[@x--LeethaL--x]

would have loved to seen the Bulls go up against my Lakers in 2000 or 2001.

[@vernonleewarren280]

Great job on this

[@orvillewright122]

The Spurs had the same two towers in the 1998 season and did nothing. They beat a Ewing-less Knicks team and did nothing for 3 years after that.

[@stephaniechavez7436]

The NBA is a Young man's game it is the obvious Jordan pippen beyond their prime in 98
