"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!!!

Chari Krishnan RESEARCKING

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.

In this awesome Chicago Bulls championship highlights video, you'll often see Jordan's jumper with 5.2 left.

This video depicts the Chicago Bulls' 6th (and for now, last) world championship. The Bulls won their customary 60+ games this season, but they nearly missed the Finals due to a gutsy performance by the Indiana Pacers in the conference finals. The Pacers did something that many thought was next to impossible; take the Bulls to a deciding 7th game. Game 7 was played at the United Center, and Indiana nearly pulled off one of the greatest upsets in NBA history, but the Bulls managed to win the game at the end.

Once again, the Bulls moved on to the NBA Finals, where they met the Utah Jazz in a rematch of the previous year's finals. However, it was the Jazz who held home-court advantage this time. It was a back-and forth series much of the way, but the Bulls managed to take a 3 games to 2 lead with game 6 being played on Utah's home court at the Delta Center. Utah was leading as the game drew to a close, but the impeccable Michael Jordan hit what will probably be remembered as his greatest shot to win the game for Chicago. Who can forget Michael's wrist held in the shooting position for several seconds after the ball left his hand to fall through the net and destroy the Jazz' hopes of a championship?

After the game, Michael and Scottie hugged and shed a few tears, because they realized that this was probably going to be their last game together, and sure enough, Jerry Krause and Jerry Reinsdorf managed to dismantle one of the greatest sports dynasties ever during the off-season. Michael retired, coach Phil Jackson's contract wasn't renewed, and Scottie was traded (or virtually given) to the Houston Rockets. This led the team into a miserable downward spiral from which it still hasn't recovered.

This video is a must for Bulls fans. It offers a last glimpse of "The Team of th 90's". Watch it and remember how good the Bulls were and, unfortunately, how bad they are now.

If you have missed the game, that's alrite, get this tape. Just because it has the last shot that MJ made on the court. Look at all those Utah fans facial expression from Jordan stole the ball from Malone to the shot has been released by MJ. They all knew what's going to happen!
