Chicago Bulls history thread

[Axl Rose]

You really need to take a step back with this comment my man. :smh:

you think all the stuff he pulled would go under the radar in this social media age?

i agree with scoot i think he could survive...but only because he would act accordingly to the times

 

[clonetrooper264]

What if Jordan would act like Lebron in the modern day..?

 

[Bear Pride]

I'm aware, but with the way social media and technology is today, things would be different for him. Perhaps he himself acts differently in order to continue to look like he's doing the right thing.

Yes, I realize that, but MJ had this mystique about him that no other player ever has, imo. He's literally one of those guys that can tell you to F off, and look good doing it. He was masterful with the media, and always said and did the right thing. Social media wouldn't have changed a thing, imo.

you know who else the Bulls had a chance to draft that Krause passed on was Dennis Rodman back in 86

lol Rodman was a nobody when he was drafted, so I'll give him the pass on that. He acquired him later though so :elephant:

Yeah, but Krause kind of copied what Detroit did with drafting Rodman and Salley, by drafting Pippen and Grant.

Well he actually traded for Pippen.

Rodman was picked at 27th overall. Bulls had 28. They could have drafted Nate McMillan

It was a draft day trade, totally different. It was agreed upon with Seattle before the pick. The Bulls had the 8th and 10th picks in the draft. Krause fell in Love with Pip at the pre draft camp and nobody knew who he was for the most part.

Krause obsessed with finding a way to get Pip. Convincing Seattle (5th) on that trade was something he spent a lot of time on before the actual draft.

The Bulls biggest obstacle was the Pistons. He didn't try to draft Rodman, he saw what the Pistons did with Rodman and Salley. Pip and Grant were Krauses' answer to keep up with the Pistons back then.

you want a ton of classic Bulls games? This guy has it

looks like this guy got rid of all his classic games.

Don't sweat it, those are the things you can't read in an article. Pip was a late invite to the pre draft camp and nobody knew who he was coming from Central Arkansas. After people saw him play, they were like "who F is this guy?"

Krause became obsessed with him, like he was about Kukoc. Pip and Toni were two of the better things Krause did. It was very much a Bulls against the Pistons thing back then. I remember Pip and Grant being the Bulls version of Rodman and Salley very well.

I also remember the 1st Bulls practice with the Bulls with MJ and Pip. MJ tells the story that MJ went to block Pip and Pip slammed the ball on MJ with his left hand. It was said that MJ just turned his head and looked at the coach and smiled. Mj, to this day, says Pip had the best left of anyone other than James Worthy, who he played with at NC.

Yeah some people point to MJ as the guy who really made Pippen into a great player. I think Pippen actually wanted to be an actual point guard in the league like Magic but it never happened. Still maybe the greatest point forward to ever play the game which isn't bad either.

That was the thing about Pip, he wasn't afraid of anybody, including MJ, and that was as a rookie. Pip may have learned some from MJ coming from a small school, but Pip wasn't a 2nd fiddle at all in my eyes. I actually remember Larry Bird on a quote saying something like... "to heck with MJ, this Pippen guy is who we need to worry about".

Sad day. Guessing he was probably hit with the copyright cheese.

Probably. Youtube does have a lot of classic college games including the 90 and 91 UNLV Running Rebels.

How does it feel to be the guy that got his site shutdown?

huh?

huh?

Didn't you hear? After you told everyone here about the guys site, the amount of clicks on his site raised a red flag and sent the copyright people to his site. When they discovered what he was doing, they shut down his site, and made him delete all the non copyrighted material. Nice Job! :yep:
