Hot take alert: The Bulls were a better team without MJ. I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. LOL JK. These 2 episodes defiantly stood out from the others for all the reasons that you mentioned. But man, going back to my comments from this thread a few weeks ago, Scottie Pippen has really rubbed me the wrong way. He's a clown. He gave up on his team and decided to sit out when he was told he wasn't going to be taking the final shout. Cowardly move. But here's what really ticked me off. The players made it a point to say that this was really out of character for SP. and once I heard that he apologized to the team after the game I was ready to feel a little bit better about him. That was until he said that if he could go back HE WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. Basically confirming that him doing that wasn't out of character at all and he is, in fact, a whiny self centered douche that is all about himself. Are you kidding me, SP? 25 years later he finally has the chance to make things right and he goes on to make it clear that he stills feels like that was the right thing to do. I mean, is he even SGCTC certified?

Pippen has definitely rubbed me the wrong way this documentary. He just seems like a baby. Also, he talks too quiet....speak up asshole!

Hahaha this is so true -- they were trying to show so hard that Scottie is actually a good guy and then he says he wouldn't change it.

Scottie Pippen, whether right or wrong, whined a lot. He always was complaining about something. Like I said, sometimes for good reason. But still.

I think that 2015 Bulls team was the last time I was really into them, and if they won game 4 who knows maybe I would be as big of a fan as you right now! With AK-47 now in the drivers seat I will 100% be tuning in to most games like I did that year.

Those 2 episodes last night were definitely the best ones. Jordan finding any excuse to come at someone is my favorite thing ever. Oh he didn't say hi to me at dinner? He's fucked tomorrow. You celebrated after having a good game? I'm gonna have to bury you the rest of the series. I just can't imagine Lebron having that mentality or even talking like that.

Totally agree.

And AK-47 is the only reason I could write about that without getting emotional.

My life would be entirely different had the Bulls won game 4. Thibs will forever be my favorite coach. He had what I feel is a similar mentality to Jordan- If you're going to tune in and watch us, we're going to give you our best. Just reinforces how much I hated the Bulls front office during that time.

Also, I just want to go on record and say that although I give Lebron a lot of shit, and although he played terribly in that series, I still think he is a top 50 basketball player of all time and I think he makes the Hall of Fame.

The schedule releases always crack me up. Had ESPN on while I was working from home and as soon as they got released, Louis Riddick went game by game on the Buccaneer's schedule and gave a detailed description of what would happen in each game and who would win. Good news for the Bucs is that they are going 11-5 this year and winning their division. Honestly, no need to play the regular season and risk Coronavirus. Louis Riddick should just tell us what is going to happen and we can hold off until the playoffs.

Top 50 -- high praise. I'm not there yet. I still have Dominique over him.
