playing 40 minutes a night for a doomed rockets squad probably wasn’t great for his long term health either (if you’ve ever watched the 99 rockets-lakers first round series, scottie looks loving gassed chasing around an out of his prime glen rice and rick fox)

it's crazy looking at the years right after the 95 cap jump; jordan as the 32nd highest paid player in the league behind dudes like danny ferry and sam bowie anyways here's a super crunchy article about what exactly the bulls could have done to not rip off their second best player and stay under the cap: https://earlybirdrights.com/2020/04/20/the-last-dance-scottie-pippen-salary-michael-jordan-chicago-bulls-jerry-krause/ (it probably would've involved pippen taking an extension like with the first 7 year deal and at that point he would've been under contract until 2000 i.e. his age 35 season so in the long run he probably would've lost money but hey there you go)

MourningView posted:http://bkref.com/tiny/KITwO isiah hadn’t sniffed an all nba team in about five years at that point, even after they expanded it to three teams stockton, payton, healty kj, tim hardaway, and mark price would all rank ahead of him in 91-92 (as would magic but there was no way magic wasn’t getting on that team); there were perfectly legitimate basketball reasons to leave him off of that roster even if he didn’t have beef with half of them i think people just expected daly to stump for one of “his guys” and the perception is that the forces that be conspired to leave isiah off the team; i think if you need to have a piston on there in 92 it makes way more sense to have joe dumars

Lasagna Pilot posted:So when a crazy super fan wants to poison a pizza, what does he do? Takes out some raw chicken juice to top it with after cooking? for a serious answer that's not just shoving stuff up your butt (not that there's anything wrong with that, it's 2020 we all deserve buttplay), visine is supposedly odorless and tasteless, and in theory you could also dissolve laxative into the pizza sauce pretty easily both of which are crazy dangerous; you could put someone in the hospital with that stuff (i don't know why people insist on humoring michael jordan with his bullshit tainted pizza, either he had fluke food poisoning or he was hungover and either one is fine and adds to his legend perfectly well)

MrMojok posted:I remember a couple years after Smith's book came out, the rumor was that Horace was the main source. I can't remember where I read this at the time, but I always assumed Jordan was the one pushing that rumor. everyone but jordan and krause probably leaked some stuff but phil was likely the worst offender

in football people root for the underdogs (as long as they're still respectable), in basketball people support sustained excellence in baseball people root for dingers; it is the purest expression of fandom
