I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a special time for a kid growing up in Chicago. The only championship season I’d experienced came in the ’85-’86 NFL season when the Bears dominated all and took no prisoners. It wasn’t quite that easy for the Bulls, but the ride was a great one!
Who will ever forget Michael Jordan’s layup against the Lakers in the Finals – when he drove down the lane, put the ball up to the right – and then swooped back to the left – all while in mid-air. Classic!
The 20th anniversary of the Chicago Bulls 1st title will be celebrated this weekend at the United Center. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant and the crew will be on-hand. Three key pieces will be absent; Phil Jackson will be coaching the Lakers, Bill Cartwright is an assistant with the Suns - and oddly enough, but not surprising, Jerry Krause will miss the event. Krause is busy scouting baseball.
