That’s actually not a bad question and I did consider that. It belongs in Sports.E.H. Ruddock wrote:You want it in here or in A&E?Bammer wrote:Mods. Help us out here. It already existed and you ruined it.wease wrote:Yes it does.Bammer wrote:Also - The Last Dance warrants its own thread...
I think it tells you how docile Pippen was too...i mean the guy was killing it, and he felt he couldnt renegociate his contract?wease wrote:In the doc, the owner, Reinsdorf, explained that when they signed Pippen, he wanted a shorter deal so they'd be able to adjust accordingly a few years down the line. Pippin insisted on a longer deal so he could guarantee he'd be able to take care of his family and Reinsdorf told him if he agreed to the longer deal, there absolutely would be NO renegotiation before the contract was up. I'm sure Pippen felt there was no point in asking for a new contract since the terms we so absolute.VinylGuy wrote:Poor guy.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184 ... ael-jordan by Roland Lazenby. It's the only book I've read on Jordan's life, but it's really well done. Lazenby definitely interviewed all the right people and did his research to make this book. It goes all the way back to Jordan's deep roots in North Carolina.wease wrote:What is this book you mention?Hatfield wrote:Did anyone watch the first 2 episodes? I like how it's put together.
There is no one like Jordan and I love reliving the memories. I just finished reading "The Life" so I knew about most of the issues with the Jerry's, but seeing it on film is even more upsetting. What a f*%k head Jerry Krause was.
I get where both of them are coming from. It's cool that Phil came from an understanding place about it. Jordan's take really fits into his mentality that you always play your hardest and you always play to win. I loved in the doc that little line from Jordan about "looking forward" to the challenge without Pippen.VinylGuy wrote:yeah, i get that.

fuck you're dumbBammer wrote:Also - The Last Dance warrants its own thread but whatever. Funny to look back at how the basketball world was so enamored with the 7-footer and that style is now all but gone. Also if you give me a team of five Scott Pippens I like my chances against a team of five Mike Jordans.

Spike is right. Scottie couldn't even play through a migraine when it counted. Jordan beat flu, broken foot, the mafia, the Jordan rules ect.spike wrote:five MJs alone could've defeated the nazis manBammer wrote:Feud’s back on.spike wrote:fuck you're dumbBammer wrote:Also - The Last Dance warrants its own thread but whatever.

I remember all those iconic Pippen game winners. Hell, even with Jordan playing baseball, Phil called Toni Kukocs number instead of Scotties against the Knicks.Bammer wrote:5 Jordans would fight over who takes the final shot. Hell, every shot.
5 Pippens make the smart play every time, pass to the right guy for the best shot every time.
Jordan was a better defender than Pippen was a primary scorer.Bammer wrote:Also defense and rebounding: Advantage Pippen
