    Late 90’s and early 2000’s NBA basketball was horrible. Even with Jordan. I would say from 95-2007 it sucked.

    Can't get with you on mid 90's hate. Shaq and Kobe, Hakeem, Kemp and Payton, Grant Hill pre injury.

    There was a lot to like about the NBA in the mid to late 90's. A lot of that was gone by 2000.

    92-96 was good. Those Sonics teams were fun. Hakeem winning titles was enjoyable. Shaq and Penny. Jordan’s return was great for awhile, but was the beginning of it going downhill.

    Bulls vs Jazz ugly slugfests. In time, I realize those series were shitty and has made me take Jordan down a notch on his pedestal.

    Knicks, Heat, Pacers playing playoff games every year where the first to 70 won every year. Lockout and the Spurs.

    Then the Spurs and Pistons played ugly, hard series. Kobe 2.0 and the Celtics brought back good ball and the Mavs beating Miami made the NBA good again.

    Something about him bothers me which is why I made the thread. Earlier this year after a good game against the Bulls, he was talking about how much he has meant to the city of Chicago and that he will always be remembered in Chicago.

    The Bulls won 6 titles. They only care about Jordan and maybe Pippen and Phil. Really just MJ tho. D Rose is the “what if” footnote. Melo’s flirtations with Chicago on free agency won’t be remembered by anyone.

    it is crazy how big ego of some of these guys, no one gives fuck about melo in chicago

    Shaq and Kobe opened the 2000s with the three peat

    I enjoyed the 90's and the Sonics, Suns, Rockets, Bulls and even the Blazers

    I get why people hate Melo but I really enjoyed watching that Syracuse team. He carried them to that title and I can't ever label him the loser that many seem to. He also balled out in the Olympics in '08 (Redeem Team), '12, and '16. Olympic bball is some of my favorite bball

    The Laker channel down here is doing a three part show on the Shaq Kobe dynasty. They had played 3 seasons or so and got swept every year before they brought Phil in for the 99/2000 season, the first of the three peat

    People like to say that anyone could be like Phil if they had MJ or Shaq and Kobe but actual results say different.

    And then Phi,l won two more with just Kobe


    Yes you need superstars but you need more than that

    It’s a respect thing. Win titles and the players listen a little more and are a little more willing to sacrifice. I still think Jackson was overrated, but 11 rings is 11 rings.
    Shaq said he didn't listen to Del Harris for that reason
