... When was the last time you went on YouTube and watched some old Michael Jordan highlights? Can you remember the smile on your face when John Paxson’s three beat the Suns in the 1993 Finals? Do you still consider ...

Beasley v Rose

... and Aaron Gray, all of whom have impressive parts of their games, but none of them include putting the ball in the basket. Beasley, teamed with perimeter players Ben Gordon and Larry Hughes, would automatically be the inside-out presence the Bulls have lacked since the triangle offense days of the late ’90s, when Michael Jordan would post up a helpless defender and either shoot that smooth fade away or kick it out to a wide open Steve Kerr for a three-pointer. ...

NSR REVIEWS: Everything They Had

... The book is littered with really interesting stories, including a neat section on Michael Jordan. I love reading about Michael Jordan so I was glad to see he was included. The story about his interview with Ted Williams was really neat too. Basically Halberstam is second to none in his biographies of professional athletes. ...

... (4) Let’s not make too much of the three-season thing. In Washington, Michael Jordan brought Collins in as his own sort of personal coach; so when Mike left, Collins was done there. Not because he did a bad job, but because he never would have been there in the first place if not for MJ. In Detroit, he led a decent team to a decent record and a disappointing playoff loss in his second year, then followed that up with a slow first half the following season. As so often happens in those situations, the guillotine ...

... Argument number two, which states that all Jackson did was follow the lead of assistant Tex Winter, is also blown out of proportion. It is true that Winter created the triangle offense. But Jackson is credited with convincing players like Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal, arguably two of the games ten best all time players, to buy into the system. Both MJ and Shaq had won scoring titles before Jackson became their coach, but neither player had won an NBA Finals game. Both Jordan and O’Neal also say that ...

... Oh yeah, and we have “Ubuntu” versus —— Kobe’s legacy. There is only one Michael Jordan and if Kobe puts on a consistent, game-by-game show for the ages, Jordan will be back-seated and, to a degree, replaced by his 21st century evolutionary newer, better model. ...

Coaching the Bulls

... Plus, I am a lifelong fan of the Bulls, lived through the ultimate highs (six titles in eight years) and lows (Tim Floyd) of the franchise and even have “Sirius” by the Alan Parson Project as my cell phone ringtone. I plan on naming my first kid after Michael Jordan, regardless if it’s male or female. And to this day, I’d still probably trip John Starks if I saw him walking down the street. ...
