wow, just watching the gatorade be like mike commercial really makes me sad. MJ was just so much better than all of these free agents combined, including lebron. he revolutionized the game. just watch his mannerisms and movements on the court and you will recall that before him, none of that was done by everyone. now every big time free agent has taken a small part of his changing of the game. without MJ none of this free agency period would matter.

i just cant help it. with his nonsense going to washington, and his front office nonsense, we tend to lose sight of how great he was. we mention it, but do we really remember it?

i miss mike :(

No, I mean the angle from Nike in this is what, that Bron in Chicago would sell the most shoes overseas right?

As opposed to Bron in NY or wherever else. Due to the Bulls, I guess, having the best name rep from Jordan's days.


I also remembering hearing that red and black shoes sell the best among consumers. I doubt Nike could pull that off with NY's color scheme. It is a good thing for the Heat tho
Just a must-watch army of possessed ass-kickers laying the smack down night after night after night. People are gonna hate playing the Bulls this year.

myself wrote:A source who's provided accurate information to me in the past has told me that LeBron James will agree to terms with the Bulls by July 3rd after meeting with other teams.

How serious to take this? I'm wondering the same thing myself. If I thought it was completely dismissible I certainly wouldn't post it just to get ridiculed as an attention whore for years, but the amount of false rumors I've heard (even from good sources) is remarkably high.

So in short, I'm not attempting to stake my claim on this one. I don't consider myself some great purveyor of inside sources and information by any stretch. Just passing along something I've heard.


(nothing else in the link, so you don't really need to click, just so you don't think I'm trying to be an attention whore or drive page views)


So pretty much on Saturday we will know this is true or not.

Lebron has that song on his ipod, and sings it everyday in the bathroom while taking a bath.
Lebron, you can make your dream come true if you sign with the bulls. You know you want it.

Not just mannerisms, but also the way they speak. Next time you catch LBJ or Wade speak listen for them to say "the game of basketball", that was a MJ trademark.

Hey I'm with ya man. I nearly tear up everytime I watch my MJ dvd's and even those damn gatorade commercials. The NBA will NEVER be what it used to be. I really REALLY miss those days.

I've been watching the Bulls dynasty DVDs the last few nights. Getting really pumped up for the possibilities of big things to come for the Bulls.

I like them dynasty DVDs especially the 1992 and the 1993 dvds, the Blazers and Suns series were really interesting to analyze and the Knicks series were dramatic in each year.

I still remember that game 5 with the Knicks in 1993 with the Charles Smith block. That defensive block sequence was amazing. i was 15 at the time, i was sitting down on my bed, and was like "yes Blocked!, blocked yes, blocked again...!" Then when MJ threw it down to BJ who had took off downcourt. It was pure bliss.

One of my favorite Bull dynasty moments....

While that would be cool, those were Gatorade ads, not Nike.


Ahhh right right

And if you couldn't tell - my lack of proper english and grammer in that last thought were due to me literally just waking up and coming into this forum. lol

Yeah exactly that was the best series. That was the series when I was most concerned about the Bulls being knocked out because we lost the first 2 games. And then we got back in it with Pippen really proving his value, and then Jordan scored 54, yep that series is my favorite, and the Suns series was probably the best Western team the Bulls ever faced because the Suns could really be unstoppable at times and also showed great defense in holding the Bulls to just 9 points in that 4th quarter (all scored by Jordan) until Paxson hit the Ring-winning 3. That was the toughest year of the 6 Championships. 1998 was tough too with Pippen being absent for half the season, but I always felt we had Utah's measure (Indiana sure was a close shave though, got off to a rough start in that game 7).

That game would definitely make my top-3 favorite NBA games of all time. The build-up to that game was just phenomenal, and apart from Game 7 vs. Indiana in 1998, I think it was the most important game the dynasty Bulls ever played -- if they'd lost it, I have little doubt that they would have lost the series.

Don't forget using "myself" instead of "me." My English teacher would rant on this weekly in 8th grade. :lol:

I bought mine almost a decade ago, but whenever I look for things cheaper I look at Ebay first. But sometimes Amazon has things cheaper than usual. But of course Ebay can have any price, you just never know, especially if an auction doesn't get many bidders, or maybe a product has been opened and is being sold for less even though its in mint condition.

1992 vs Knicks Game 7 was also a big game but of course it was in Chicago so would have been pretty hard for Knicks to win that, and Jordan dominated it and it was a big blowout. If a team got homecourt ad and got to a game7 that'd have been truly dangerous but the only teams with homecourt were Knicks 1993, Phoenix 1993 and Utah 1998 and those teams fell just short of a game7, because of game6 game-winning-shots by Paxson and Jordan and the "stop Smith possession".
