Yeah...we all got to watch something pretty magical back then...unfortunately, I was almost too young to remember the first run.. (6-8)...but I remember the 2nd one vividly...to the point that the NBA was dead to me after MJ left...b/c I didn't know how to watch the Bulls when they weren't far and away the best team in the NBA...Took me quite a while to just deal and support the Bulls regardless of where they finished...

I have that DVD set and i love it. I think its 5 or 6 discs. I fall asleep to them sometimes. Theres something soothing about watching MJ and listening to the narrations.

I was real young too, like X-Factor. Too young to really appreciate it all and know everything thats going on but man, i loved the Bulls. Loved that NBA theme music. I think it was 1997 when the final credits was playing that song "Winning it all". I forget who sang it. It makes me feel funny inside when i think about it. I wish i could relive it at this age though. That dynasty was seriously magical. When you walked down the street everyone had on their bulls gear and there was that sense of camaraderie.

I remember it well. I thought the Bulls caught a break by getting the Lakers instead of the Blazers, who were the best team in the league in many people's opinions. What was shocking was just how much Jordan and the Bulls would dominate the league the following 2 seasons. I was 10 when the Bears won the Super Bowl so I remembered that vaguely. The Bulls? I remember damn near everything about 1991...Jordan's ankle in the OT game and how he played on...Divac running up to Magic and putting his head in Magic's chest like a kid...Paxson hitting shot after shot in game 5....Arsenio Hal saying after the series that Byron Scott played so bad, he couldn't buy a bucket a KFC...all that. I even remember Jordan appearing on channel 2 News with Johnny Morris and talking about the upcoming finals...and Magic made an appearance. Magic was so classy that whole damn series. It was like he knew he would have to pass the baton...oh and a tshirt I brought with Jordan and Magic on it back then...I was trying to google the shirt but can't find it...

sadly i was born after the first championship run...and don't remember the second. i have the set as well, it's such a great buy. that's why i'm pulling for this team so much, i want to see a bulls title.
