I remember Wilt telling MJ at NBA50 “they changed the rules to stop me, they changed the rules to help you”. I recall that very well.


Dude everyone has seen that Bill Walton clip we a know about this conversation. The point is it's not new people been complaining to the refs and always will. It's not something Jordan pioneered.

Nope. No one bytched to the commissioner who then bowed.

No one. Wilt, McHale, Celts. They all looked at the Bulls as birds for that shyt

My point is that MJ complained and then the league reacted. Is this a denial that NBA changed rules to help Michael Jordan?

What was Larry Bird as a player the exact same time you’re referencing?

Bird was still effective, but it was obvious he was at the end and his body was falling apart. He had Achilles surgery, bone spurts, and a fukked up back.

In his prime he had average speed. By the 90s, he looked like he was moving in slow motion.

He averaged 19/8/7 during the 90-91 season. Boston went 46-14 in the games he played and 10-12 without him. So he was still productive and an important player to the team. But he was nowhere near Magic, who was viewed by many as the league’s best player outside of Chicago.

Now if we want to talk about another disgusting snub Dominique Wilkins 110% belonged on that Dream Team over Chris fukking Mullin
The worst snub was Shaq not being picked over that trash ass white boy.....I don't even remember the bum name.

On KRS One's nose, eating sunflower seeds.
As did Chuck Daly.
Yeah. I think that hurt Zeke more than anything, but he couldn't speak about it when he found out because Chuck passed away. I felt terrible for Zeke, but as much as I feel bad for him, we have to ask the question. Why didn't his OWN coach want him on the team? That's deep.
