No one is ever going to surpass or be greater than Jordan at being a bitch ass bitch who rode Scottie and co's coattails to some rings.

He didn't do shit without Pip.

Also 90s Lakers were the best team from that decade so this thread is all kinds of wrong.

And likewise, Pippen and the rest of the Bulls didn't do shit without MJ

 

[captmcblack]

90s NBA was godlike. Yes, the game is "better" because it's more efficient or whatever...but I don't care. Even watching with an analytical/sabermetric eye with hoops experience now, 90s hoops passes the eye test and is more aesthetically pleasing to me. 00s fuckball sucks, though. We can all agree on that, yeah?

 

[Stormhammer]

is hating jordan your schtick or

 

[Bubbins]

Not to mention Spacejam!

 

[Zantetsuken]

Loved the Olympic dream team as well. Everything mentioned so far is great.

I didn't know players were required to win with shit teams.

I have a 90's Bulls plastic locker in my shed. It was about as tall as me when my dad bought it at the hardware store. You can store yearbook sized books and hang your backpack in it. It came with a bunch of number stickers, but I'm sure 98% of them got 23 stuck on the front. So, It's pretty sweet, and totally rad.

[Man with Knife]

I miss the 90s Hornets, still got my vintage shirt that I got from a store here in Germany back then, haha

 

[True Savior]

I was born in 86 so I kinda missed Maradona, instead while growing up it was MJ the one seen as some kind of demi-god. In a very different era, I don't think people who didn't go through can really grasp how Michael Jordan became revered during 95-96 or so. You can't really compare, what he meant for the league, for the sport internationally and how much better he was than anyone back then, to the reality of today.

half man, half amazing

pippen

90s basketball just felt more raw idk

 

[Dreams-Visions]

i miss the 90s nba courts, the 90s nba jerseys and the nba on nbc ;~;

Back when it was cool to wear jerseys.

 

[Sephzilla]

90s NBA might be the best era of the NBA. It felt like almost every team had a true star.

 

[Noirulus]

Speaking of the 90s the world feels so foreign nowadays, compared to the friendly 90s. Everybody's glued to their phones and the internet, everything is connected, etc. I'm not even that old, im in my mid 20s, so I don't know if it's just nostalgia or things really were better.

 

[Martinski43]

I barely remember the 90's anymore tbh. Just remember small memories from vacations abroad and such.

 

[Tom Nook]

GOAT intro to a basketball game.

 

[MastAndo]

I miss the 90s Hornets, still got my vintage shirt that I got from a store here in Germany back then, haha

My Hornets Starter jacket was my favorite article of clothing ever;

...wish I still had it.

I wasn't a fan of the team or anything, just liked their colors...and LJ, of course.

 

[catpurrcat]

I miss 90's MLB a lot more than 90's NBA, honestly. Ken Griffey Jr. Maddux/Smoltz/Glavine. Bonds and A-Rod before they got all roided up. Pedro Martinez. Kirby Puckett. Even the Yankees coming out of 20 years of mismanagement to build a dynasty was good, because sometimes you need the Evil Empire.

Really wish those early 90's Pirates could've won a championship. I'm not really a Pirates fan, but my dad lived there at the time, and we would go to the games when I visited in the summer. That was a very fun team to watch.

Don't forget the Jays! Paul Molitor, Joe Carter, Alomar, that was the team to beat!

 

[bggrthnjsus]

seeing van gundy clinging for dear life always cracks me up

 

[davidwhangchoi]

i loved how oakley kicked Zo in the head and stepped on Tim Hardaway's chest.
they were too sacred to respond.

 

[The Albatross]

I had this same tshirt... and I lived in freakin Boston. Loved the Hornets and Magic as a kid.

My family was poor i couldnt afford no Jordan's. I had to go to payless and get the Spalding Olajuwon

I had a Grant Hill jersey, Penny Hardaway reversible jersey, Chris Webber Warriors jersey, and a Shawn Kemp jersey I believe.

Technosteve, I also rocked the Olajuwon's in like 5th grade lol

 

[CreepingFear]

So do I... So do I. Those were good times to be a Bulls fan.

 

[AlanzTalon]

I'll throw on the '97 Bulls Game 6 starting lineups if I need to get pumped.

Used to turn this shit up loud when it was on NBA on NBC. Ray Clay so good.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Sorry Chicago, the Cubs winning the World Series used up all the good karma in the city. You aren't winning any more championships in any sports for a long time.

I had those too. They were awesome.

Here's a great article on them https://www.theguardian.com/sport/b...d-and-failed-to-stop-the-90s-sneaker-killings

LOL - that much salt is really bad for you.

 

[Cormano]

Miss this guy so much

Same

As a Real Madrid or football follower its a shame this guy never won the Champions League.

pippen

90s basketball just felt more raw idk

It's just that nobody had to know how to eurostep, so they were forced to go over.

 

[Benjamin1981]

That first Kemp dunk is just pure fire. Probably my favorite from the 90s even surpassing the Pippen over Ewing dunk. If he did that in todays NBA that would be multiple technical fouls.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Back when it was cool to wear jerseys.

You can still get away with wearing a jerz at a game and at a cook out in the summertime.

Anywhere else, you're out of bounds.

 

[Exploratory]

Lol nostalgia in here to the max. Go Warriors!

 

[bunbun777]

I miss the 90's trailblazers losing to the 90' bulls.

 

[Merriweather]

I miss the 90's Bulls, too.

Stuck in NBA Hell now. But, hey, at least we're probably keeping Jimmy Butler. Yay.

 

[Autumn Wind]

Back when it was cool to wear jerseys.

It was the quality too. You didn't have to spend $300 to get a nice looking sports jersey.

 

[jahepi]

In the late nineties i had the fortune to watch a live game between Mavericks and Spurs, it was a dream watching them played (Duncan and Robinson), i always wanted to see Michael Jordan live.

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

I miss Starter jackets...

...and shooting shirts

And the scores of bootleg championship t-shirts you could buy for like $10 a pop on street corners.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Early 00's Lakers is probably my favorite sports memory.

 

[Man with Knife]

Man, the old hornet looked so much better and cooler

I had this same tshirt... and I lived in freakin Boston. Loved the Hornets and Magic as a kid.

It's funny, I was a Hornets fan in the 90s and my younger brother was a Magic fan, so I was kinda rooting for them too.

 

[Undefined]

the intro plus the song is sick

 

[CosmicPanda]

I miss the JDM cars

 

[Cess007]

pippen

90s basketball just felt more raw idk

That Pippen dunk is still the most savage thing I've ever seen live on a basketball match

 

[Malvolio]

Sorry Chicago, the Cubs winning the World Series used up all the good karma in the city. You aren't winning any more championships in any sports for a long time.

I've seen every major Chicago team win a championship. I'm OK with letting lesser cities have a chance.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Basketball was better back then for sure.

 

[Technosteve]

i remember the rich kids with the dope pippen airs with gigantic A I R on the shoe. Fuck those kids

 

[phanphare]

good times

the charlotte coliseum was fucking lit for hornets games back in the day
