I don’t think anybody on the team besides MJ was like “who else is on the team” before they gave an answer when they got that call from Rod Thorn. At that time NBA players werent playing in the Olympics so this was a chance to play in the Olympics and win a gold medal so that was probably in the minds of all the players except one

Pippen already CONFIRMED he did

and you don't even HAVE to ask Malone

Its a shame whats they've done to Isiah with this show.

I guess I don’t see it because I don’t follow social media. I feel the same about Isiah now that I did a year ago. I didn’t learn anything new from the Bulls documentary, this weird. :confused:

He was always a great player but known as a player that many other players and fans didn’t like. I don’t see what’s different?:dunno:

Other than not shaking hands and a few players not wanting him on the Olympic team, what’s new that we’ve learned?

Did most fans not know these things?:confused:

I don’t know if he told Rod Thorn but Pippen didn’t want him on the team.

Go to 2:30 of the vid.



Pippen was a great player but do you think he was on that level to even be able to tell Rod Thorn that he didn’t want to play with Isiah? I really think MJ was the only player on that team that was on that level. The only other one was probably Magic but he wasn’t even playing in the NBA so him not being on there wasn’t gonna cause controversy.

*edit* I watched the vid at 2:30, you see how they were all laughing at the thought of Scottie Pippen saying he didn’t want somebody on the team

Hey man I feel you, Pip’s a great player but nah I don’t think he had pull like that.

Winning’s Very Hard!

It takes a team and for a player to be I. The right situation at the right time.

I don’t and can’t look down on Ewing, Stockton, Malone, Barkley etc for not winning a championship.

They all played against Mike :dunno:

^^^^^

But this new generation started the whole if you aint got a ring it dont mean a thing bullsh*t

Until THEY heroes were effected

Suddenly its ALL metrics and analytics

They gotta cheat

It is so damn HARD to win

PERIOD

We actually sh*tting on Lebron for going to 9 finals and not winning them all

Kobe will ALWAYS be treated like a jordan wannabe clone in many circles if he was still alive

When Westbrook averages a triple double ONE season he the best ever but he does it again? He a stat padder.

Lets not even discuss Harden

Chuck malone ewing will ALWAYS be seen as good but NOT great

I could go on

from oscar to kareem to dr. J to wilt

Jordan by no fault of his own completely destroyed perspective

Its funny i got MY OGs who still think Magic, Oscar, Kareem etc STILL BETTER than Jordan

And funny thing is Jordan LOVES RESPECTS those players MORE than his stans who claim to basketball fans.

Lol that was the brand of basketball they played and the played it well. It doesn't mean they sucked though. NFL was the same way, you played a more physical style game, you could not come across the middle without getting blasted. The NBA was you couldn't come down the lane and get easy baskets especially if you popp'n off at the mouth. To say they sucked though? I ain't buying that.

So let me get this straight

Mrs Jordan tells her son take that Nike meeting...

He says yes mama

Mrs Jordan tells her son please support this black politician to make sure this horrid well known unabashed racist doesn't win

Well ummm mama i dont know that black man like that

You can meet with him?

Well i don't know politics like that

Son the other man is a white supremacist

Well i can shoot the brother a couple dollars is that enough? Just don't tell nobody.

Just to set the record straight?

1993 Eastern Conference Finals

Jordan made ONE MORE BASKET than Ewing

JORDAN took FORTY MORE SHOTS.

Michael Wilbon’s weak ass was out of pocket for saying Jordan and Pippen were “out of line” for going at Kukoc in the Olympics. The game ain’t for the weak and so is life....

"Ewing, who was interviewed for about an hour for “The Last Dance,” said he hasn’t watched a lot of the first six episodes of the 10-part documentary. The Georgetown coach, whose Knicks fell just short to the Bulls in many playoff battles, also said he respects his friend Jordan’s greatness, but doesn’t need to relive it so thoroughly at this stage in his life.

Former teammate Charles Oakley on Sunday blamed Ewing for the fact the Knicks lost the epic 1993 Eastern Conference final battle to Jordan’s Bulls, not Charles Smith who missed multiple put-back attempts in the closing seconds of the Knicks’ 97-94 Game 5 loss, which gave Chicago a 3-2 series lead.

“Patrick, at the end of the game, he’d get double-teamed,’’ Oakley told The Post’s Marc Berman. “He’d shoot fadeaways on double-teams and that hurt us as a team.”

Stop messing around ahmad

We know you were MJ pet YOU should know right.

Just say what you got to say.

Or stfu

Chuck ain't here

You had a WHOLE LOT of time to ask him yourself

You SUPPOSED to be a reporter right?

Or you need dick ebersol to write the questions for you?

Why you coming at Ahmad? He’s right m. The coach you helped win two chips didn’t go to bat for you, says something.

Who from that 92 team has spoken up and said they went out of their way for Isiah to be on the team?
