    So do I!!! I lived in Chicago during the first three championships, it was amazing seeing MJ play live!! The NBA has not been the same since he retired, the first time.

    I miss going to the Magic games back when we had Shaq, Penny, Anderson, Grant, etc. They were so exciting. I love basketball games but they're just not as much fun when we lose all the time. :(

    Haha,me too :( MJ is the king. I have even bought my baby nephew,little baby Jordan shoes :eek: I have all MJ's videos and all the Bulls championship videos also. The 90's was a dominant one for the Bulls and there maybe players around now and in future that will be just as good as MJ on the court(but not in stats over their career)the era of the Bulls in the 90's will be hard to repeat. And that is coming from me,who used to watch it on TV and would have loved to see a live game when i was a young fella in the 90's. Would have been great to be Indaville,being there at the time :p

    I grew up in Chicago, and was there for all six. There was nothing like living in Chi-town at the time. No better place than to watch a game at the old Chicago Stadium. Haven't watched an NBA game since retirement #2

    It will never happen again because of salary caps and no more larry bird exemption.(I think it was called). MJ's salary was higher than the salary cap if you recall.

    All Phil has now is yelling at refs for every call.

    MJ and the Bulls were great. But it is always great when you have a dominate team with great players in there best years. The term sandbaging comes to mind.

    The old Chicago Stadium was the best place to watch a game! 18,676 plus the standing room crowd. I have one of the bricks from when they torn it down, and many great memories (Bulls vs. Pistons).

    You forgot Dennis Scott! He was one of my favorite players along with Pippen.

    There was a thing on ESPN showing players being ridiculed at college bball games. Coach K from Duke spoke about Dennis Scott when Scott played against them at Duke. Duke fans were throwing Twinkies on the court making fun of Scott because he was overweight. His team went on to win the game by making a lot of 3s. Coach K went up the fans later on and said don't ever make fun of a good player because that player will come right back and make you lose.

    the 90s bulls were the best team ever.
    I used to love watching and playing basketball so much.
    Now its all a bunch of classless ghetto thugs and I havent watched a game since MJs first retirement and have no interest at all.
    its not just the bulls i miss,almost every other team had great players such as the magic with shaq and hardaway lakers with magic
    Knicks with Ewing and starks, Suns with barkley, jaz with malone and stockton.
    You just dont have these kind of players now.

    The first year they won, I was sick in bed with the flu.

    The second year we had a party and afterwards ran down to Division Street, which was only a couple blocks away. We were right in the middle of all the idiots who trashed the taxi. Kind of nuts.

    The 4th and 5th Championships they won on Sunday nights following the Montreal Grand Prix. Both times we were in Montreal and went out and commandeered a La Cage Au Sports. Turned everyone there into Bulls fans. Funny how that happens when you're buying drinks!
