Great series. I, too, wish they would have spent a lot more time on the Indiana series. Outside of the Detroit Pistons, I felt like the Pacers gave Chicago their biggest test and that includes any NBA Finals series. I really do wish Reggie Miller had won at least one NBA Championship during his career.
That is a three year sample size. Krause could duct tape any crap around Jordan Pippen and a good PF and win. Look at Krause's draft record after the Pippen Grant draft and he he only hit on Kukoc and this is with the luxury of the majority of players spending at least 3 years in college most of that span. Yet he had the gaul to say this about himself. The eye that got him Brad Sellers, Will Purdue, Stacey King...
Nah. That’s just not in his DNA. LeBron does his best to get his teammates involved, he just doesn’t have that killer instinct that MJ had. It’s not a fault either way, LeBron is still a top 3 player. Like I said earlier, the league is too nice now. Every player is a best friend of a player on another team.
Hopefully not. LBJ can be obnoxious at times, but he seems to be a good person and a good teammate. Even Kobe looks like a gentle guy next to MJ... and Kobe was hard as hell on teammates.
Kobe openly feuded with Shaq and disrupted the greatest duo in the NBA at the time because of ego... Jeremy Lin said Kobe came to practice one day in 2015 TDD to say goodbye to the bums that were going to be traded. Mamba was on MJ level of competitiveness and pettiness.
He wasn't a genius but getting 2 all-star level players (Kukoc played at an all-star level even if he never made a team) and a top 5 player in the league/all-time great with picks 8, 10, and 29 is insanely good in basketball, and far, far outweighs any misses he made. Plus BJ Armstrong, who was somewhat questionably named an all-star. The expectation for a late 1st - where the Bulls were picking after they added Pippen to the mix - is very low.
I believe it was Krause that brought in Phil Jackson. Without Jackson the Bulls do not win more than 3 titles maximum
Boylen will return as Bulls coach Fans likely to further tune out organization at this point. Citing financial uncertainty of next season as reason to keep him is BS Bulls are the Midwest version of Knicks
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! This is an unjustified firing! They also need to give GarPax full control of the team again, too.
Bulls move all the way up to 4th in the draft, could get a very nice piece to add to their promising young core.
