The final video of the day will not be an on-court clip. I decided to go with a commercial. Although we all love the McDonalds game of HORSE commercial with Larry Bird, and of course the Gatorade “Be Like Mike” commercial, his Nike failure commercial always struck me on a deeper level. [...]

The 1993 NBA Finals were no cakewalk. In fact, the Suns had a better regular season record than the Bulls that year, Barkley had won the MVP, and many experts were picking the Suns to win. We all know what happened next, as the Bulls won in 6. But before the series started nothing was [...]

One of the most famous clips of Jordan’s career is “the move” over the Lakers in Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals. This was Jordan’s first real shot at a title, and he wasn’t about to blow it. While most people remember the move, they don’t remember that it was his 13th [...]

Arguably the defining shot of Jordan’s career, this game-winner over Ehlo put the Bulls on the map in the Eastern Conference. Although it would be a couple years until the Bulls could overcome the dirty Pistons, this moment signified the arrival of Jordan and his Bulls as a force in the East, as opposed to [...]

In a ridiculously stacked rookie class, Jordan outshined his competition with his spectacular displays of athleticism. It’s almost funny to see a slightly unpolished Jordan at 22 years old. We all see him as the smooth, confident man who has wowed us in so many ways, but this was before all that, when he was [...]

As most of you know by now, Michael Jordan is being inducted into the Hall of Fame today. Yesterday, I discussed how Jordan was not only the greatest of all time, but that he redefined what greatest of all time even meant. Today, we will be posting video tributes to him all day.
This first one, [...]

We have covered this from every different angle here, but the issue of whether Ben Gordon was the kind of player Bulls fans want on their team won’t truly be answered until we see how they look this fall without him. In the meantime, for all you doubters, here’s a little farewell video montage to [...]

Scottie Pippen, not necessarily known for his speaking, gave an interview recently (after the halftime tribute ceremony) that really sums up what Red meant to so many people:
The ceremony that was held to honor him during halftime of the Pistons game a couple weeks ago can be found here. A tear comes to my eye [...]

I’m not a very emotional guy by nature. I show anger, excitement, and passion, sure, but sadness? It’s not as easy for me. After writing about Stormin’ Norman yesterday, I was basically spent in terms of being able to feel sad. Then the tragic news came in late last night that Johnny “Red” Kerr passed [...]
