"Michael Jordan didn't care about stats"
Also Michael Jordan:
The NBA / Sam McManis : Pitino Finds Slumping Knicks Are a Team in Turmoil as Players Bicker
The New York tabloids have resurrected a catchy phrase to describe the suddenly slumping New York Knicks, a nickname previously reserved primarily for the New York Yankees: "Team Turmoil."www.latimes.com
Just another inconvenient MJ story to quietly get swept under the rug, along with his degenerate gambling-related ones.
I believe everyone is consciously aware of their stats.
But I am cynical as well.

Kemp's two-handed reverse dunks were just absurd. He would start on one side of lane and just throw it down from the other side on the regular.

That Lakers team didn't have any right to win as many games as they did (27 I think).

So, Simmons has been doing some re-watches of '90s Bulls games. I hope when they do a 1998 Finals game he focuses on Game 3 and not Game 6. Game 3 is the Bulls' magnum opus. Final score: 96-54. Tied for third-lowest points in an NBA game in the shot clock era (1954-now). Just utter destruction. The irony is that Bulls set the record the following lockout season by scoring 49 in a single game.

Always hated the back to back timeouts in late game situations

I agree. If you can't inbound the ball without a violation out of a timeout, you can't be bailed out. Even the NFL gets it right by not allowing back to back timeouts between plays. I mean, you can, but it's a 15-yard penalty.

I’m not surprised Kd left because of how sensitive he is but I feel what you’re saying. Watching the 2017 replay right now, definitely miss watching that team. KD is the most unstoppable offensive weapon we’ve ever seen imo.
Im not a warriors fan but those teams were amazing to watch. Also the We Believe dubs were one of the most exciting teams. That year was my first year I moved from Seattle to Atlanta and experienced the f*ckery of nba playoff games ending at like 1am. At that time I’d get up for work at 6am. I used to take naps so I could stay up to watch their playoff games lol

Dominique was famous for that. He knew exactly how many points he had in every game and made sure he got his numbers.

Lakers having 4 all stars in 98 and getting swept by the Jazz seems inconceivable

Still can't believe those Warriors gave up one game to Cleveland. They shoulda gone Fo-Fo-Fo-Fo. That team was just unfair. That's the best team in NBA history. 67-15, 16-1 in the playoffs, and it wasn't even close. Their margin of victory was insane.

Lost 4-1 the year prior, and got swept in '99 by the Spurs. Granted, that was the weird lockout season, but it was a strange run for the Lakers in the late '90s.

His latest hoop pods have been really good.
enjoyed the discussion on the greatest teams ever and how the 91’ bulls > 96 bulls and said the 17’ warriors were probably the greatest team of all time. The deep dive into expansion that came from this was fantastic
also enjoying the rewatcha’bulls’ stuff because some of the in game analysis of what actually happened is kind of contrary to how history tells it. Prime example is how great Jordan actually was in the 95 offs and that the bulls simply caught a bad matchup as a .500 ball club

Was kind of befuddling how they flamed out. I know the narrative of them not being ready and blah blah blah but I kind of don’t buy it? Late 90’s Lakers are fascinating to me

Young me was frustrated how the late 90s Lakers would self-combust come playoff time.

I've been talking forever about how watered down the NBA was after Toronto and Vancouver were added. There were more 60-win teams from '96-'98 than any three-year stretch ever, and it's not even close. In 1998, the Sonics and Lakers were both 61-21, and were still behind Utah. The Lakers destroyed the Sonics in the second round, then lost to the Jazz. Also, the Lakers had four All-Stars (as was mentioned). Don't tell me the '90s were better lol. Early '90s were fine. By 1996, the NBA was headed towards what we got in the early to mid 2000s. Things are a lot better now.

Some of the win totals in 96’ are insane. The Lakers won 53 games that year, The nets won 47, if you look at the jazz in the from 90 to 96 in comparison to 96 to 98 win total wise,
there were like 6 teams who won 26 games or less
Jordan came back and literally said “I think I can steal a championship” that’s how watered down the league was. Madness
