Everyone knows that the Chicago Bulls are the team of the 1990s, if not all time. In 1998 they won their unmatched sixth NBA title of the '90s. But this was not the same team that squashed all opponents that stood before them, united and led magnificently by players such as Scottie Pippen and the irresistible Michael Jordan. At the beginning of the 1998 season, this team was anything but united. His Airness was still His Airness, but the rest of the Bulls looked less than a shadow of their selves. Pippen stood injured on the sidelines demanding a trade, Rodman looked more interested in Hollywood and his hair, and the supporting cast were beginning to look extremely vulnerable. But as with all great teams, they dusted themselves off, wiped away the cobwebs (not to mention the odd ego or two), and played out the final two-thirds of the regular season like the Chicago Bulls of old. This exciting NBA video captures the highlights of this tumultuous and thrilling season, from the playoffs to the dramatic six game series final against archrivals Utah Jazz. Clips, highlights, and interviews tell the story of a season that will be very hard to forget and one that will be remembered as the last time the greatest basketball player of all time played his game. --Jeremy Storey

5.0 out of 5 stars THE JORDAN-PIPPEN-RODMAN BULLS WERE THE BEST TEAM EVER!!!, July 22, 2001

This review is from: 1997-98 Chicago Bulls - Unforgettabulls [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"He's God...disguised as Michael Jordan!"--Larry Bird, after watching Jordan score 63 points against the Celtics in a double overtime playoff loss in the Boston Garden in 1986.

When you talk about the best basketball team ever, the playoffs narrow down fast! If you start with the earliest great teams, like Bill Russell's 1950s and 1960s Boston Celtics, yes, they were better than Wilt Chamberlain's Philadelphia 76ers or Wilt's Lakers, and they were better than the two time 1970s champions New York Knicks. And yes, Russell's Celtics would have beaten the Celtics coached by Tommy Heinsohn, and the Portland Trailblazers with Bill Walton, and even the four time 1970s finalists Washington Bullets, and Rick Barry's 1975 championship team Golden State Warriors, and the Seattle Supersonics championship team that won the last title of the 1970s. So before 1980, yes, Bill Russell's Boston Celtics were the best team ever. But in 1980, that's when Magic Johnson won his first championship with the Los Angeles Lakers, and then his rival Larry Bird followed with his first championship in Boston in 1981. By the time the 1980s were over, the score was 5 championships for Magic, 3 for larry, and a strong case for Magic Johnson's Lakers as the best team ever, since even though Bill Russell had more titles--11--no one has been able to answer how ULTIMATE DEFENSIVE PLAYER BILL RUSSELL would have been able to guard Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, forward James Worthy, and ULTIMATE POINT GUARD MAGIC JOHSNON!!!

And then came Michael Jordan! As Magic Johnson himself once said, "Larry and I were the best on the ground, but Michael took the game into the air!" And if MJ's first act wasn't enough--3 straight championships from 1991 before his first retirement in 1993--his second threepeat--great word, Pat Riley!!!--was even better, thanks to the play of BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN BASKETBALL SCOTTIE PIPPEN, and the presence of the MOST UNDERRATED SUPERSTAR IN THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL, DENNIS RODMAN!!! During his Chicago Bulls years from 1996 to 1998, not only was Rodman the best power forward in basketball, but he could also guard centers. Not only was Rodman the greatest rebounder in basketball, but he was also an excellent passer. Not only was Rodman the best power forward, not only could Rodman guard centers and rebound, but Rodman was a disruptive force in every single game that made winning the championship impossible without him. People have forgotten how when Jordan returned to action for a 17 game stint at the end of the 1994-95 season he ended up humiliated at the end of the season by a tough Orlando Magic team that easily defeated the Bulls in six second round playoff games, and that's what forced management to call for Rodman!

And with Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman together, no team in basketball could beat the Bulls! No team in history could have beaten the Bulls! Not Bill Russell's Celtics, not Magic Johnson's Lakers, not Larry Bird's Celtics, and not Phil Jackson's Lakers! THE JORDAN-PIPPEN-RODMAN BULLS WERE THE BEST TEAM EVER!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars There will never be a team or a video like this one again., January 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Unforgettabulls: The 6th NBA Championship Season of the Chicago Bulls [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Chicago Bulls brought fans all over the world joy for the decade of the 90's. DON'T miss this video opportunity to memorialize this magical time. Living in Chicago during this exciting era, I witnessed how something as simple as a basketball game can bring together people from distant corners. I partied in the Chicago sports bars over the years cheering on the Bulls...I watched couples meet at these events and eventually marry and start families of their own. Thank you to The Chicago Bulls for an era of fun and the chance to meet new friends and cheer on an unforgettable team. Michael Jordon will go down in history as one of the greatest American icons of all time. If you were lucky enough to experience this magical time in our history, GET THIS VIDEO which records the end of the great era.

All I can say is: Everything about this rocks. If you are a Chicago fan, or even if you're not, you couldn't get a better basketball video.
