80s Michael Jordan vs World Champion Isiah Thomas - Epic Battle In Chicago Stadium
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2023
- Michael Jordan could not win a championship during the 1980's because the Chicago Bulls organization was a mess, throughout. Jordan truly had to "pay his dues!"
Phil Jackson took over as head coach in 1989-90. It's often stated that Phil was "the best at managing egos", but many of us believe Phil was actually better at defining roles for the role players. Phil would define roles in the offense, and each role player had their spots on the court/comfort zones.
Many point to Michael Jordan "changing his style of play" to fit the wants of coach Phil Jackson for leading to the Bulls' championship success. But in reality, the biggest drastic difference between the 1980's & the 1990's was not Michael Jordan's style of play. The biggest difference was the improved play of the supporting cast. He didn't need a superteam. He just needed competent help.
For an example at how Michael's pre-championship supporting cast held him back, look no further than Game 7 of the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals. Michael Jordan's supporting cast prevented him from winning a championship sooner when they shot:
Scottie Pippen 1-10 (Migraine game)
Horace Grant 3-17
Craig Hodges 3-13
Bill Cartwright 3-9
BJ Armstrong 1-8
During game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Pippen, Grant, Hodges, Cartwright, and Armstrong combined to shoot 11-57 (19.2%).
That is a level of supporting cast ineptitude that even Michael Jordan could not overcome. But that was the story of the pre-championship Bulls.
To many of us, the 1980's represent lost championship years. What if the Chicago Bulls could have supplied Jordan with the type of adequate supporting cast a player of his caliber deserved, sooner?
That's the great "what if?"!!!
As for this incredible contest. The Pistons were at their best! The reigning world champions! The great insurmountable hurdle of the pre-championship years for MJ! Michael Jordan vs Isiah Thomas, the epic rivalry that will echo throughout time!
Intensity. Competitiveness. This game had it all! The Jordan era!

ABSOLUTE Legend!!! deserves the most likes on youtube👏👏
Sweetness in the building#34
Thank you.
The Bulls had to grow as a team. It took some time, but it did.
It's actually not as simple as that.
Love to have new games to watch of GOAT mj
Give the Pistons their flowers.... Great Team
True 🔥🔥🔥
Listen to the crowd always loud
When Craig sager wore only one color lol
The early days of the triangle offense over an ice rink
Then coming up, do you have the Soviet national team versus the Runnin rebels? Sweetness still alive?
Man. This Bulls team is garbage without Jordan. I'm impressed he was able to take this team to the playoffs
I agree, Scottie Pippen going on about MJ being a horrible player and shooting bad shots. When Michael left temporarily, the Bulls weren't doing anything without MJ.
Isaiah and Michael on the same team would of been the best back court duo ever in the league
No because Jordan didn't like Isiah
MJ #1 🐐
Bill Cartwright...no words but I haven't cringed as much as I have in the 90's!
Phil Jackson's debut
Detroit had the best back court with Dumas and Isiah.
MJ 🐐👏👏👏
Zeke has the audacity to act like he didn't play with great players now. He need his ass whopped for doing that. Detroit was a great team. Mark Aguire, Dumars, and Vinny could get hot at any time. Jordan was the only scorer on this team. Pippen was not consistent scoring.
Please provide evidence of Isiah Thomas saying he didn't play with great players.
jordan lead this pig slop of a team to within one game of the finals.....unbelievable
They were definitely not a super team like folks claim now.
Indeed first three peat team were not a super team but Jordan became a machine at his absolute peak. Second three peat team were a great team defensively, incredible team defensively but all the scoring responsibility and pressure still fell to an aging Jordan who was also a big part of the Doberman defence.
Zeke is a crybaby, ever since Michael Jordan was pick by the bull and the man fought his way to the top, he had to fight his way to be one of the greatest players, never lost a championship game this why he's is the goat 🐐
Pistons were gotdamn cheats
Stop d ning God=Lord Jesus Christ or He will d n you to hell on judgement day. Heck I don't like reading it from others or saying it myself. Please stop.
Loud CHICAGO 🏟️ STADIUM. Miss the ol BARN on West Madison
