How come no love for the 97 bulls who went 69-13?

[beenz]

I mean I know winning 72 games the year before is , but it's always overlooked that 97 bulls went and won 69 games the next season. on top of that, they could have won 70+ again that season if they didn't lose 3 of the final 4 games of the season that year. On top of that, this team still won a ship anyways.

its the middle child of the 2nd 3-peat

Only thing memorable about that season is the "Flu Game". The Brian Williams (Bison Dele) pickup at the end of the season pretty much cemented the repeat. You had the real return of MJ in 96 and the end of MJ in 98 which makes the 97 season seem small when you think about it...

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Perhaps because the 96 Bulls went 72-10.

 

[Dirty D]

Because Karl Malone dominated that season winning a well-deserved MVP?

Rodman kicking the camera man is the only memorable thing that season

Those Bulls teams are universally recognized as some of the greatest, ever.

Jordan should've still won MVP that season.

 

[FAH1223]

The Heat will win 69 games next season

MJ leading the Bulls to 62 wins in 1998 despite Pippen missing the first half of the season (38 games) was more impressive too.

If starks bytch ass aint hit that 3 late in the last game of the season bulls woulda went 70-12 .I remember being pissed they didn't win 70 back to back

 

[nomoreneveragain]

Because Stu Jackson and David Stern gifted that ship to the Bulls.

I remember how cocky the Knicks were after that game, saying they were ready for a title run...
Then PJ Brown flipped Charlie Ward
