I was with the team in Spain in and I remember people was talking about that like it was a C team not even a B team.
It won its first two games by lopsided margins, but faced more difficult competition thereafter. Again, bot much to say about this team other than it had Larry Legend on it and it is one of the best teams ever assembled in NBA history.
Russell's rivalry with Chamberlain became one of the greatest rivalries in the history of American team sports.
During its early years, the quality of play in the BAA was not significantly better than in competing leagues or among leading independent clubs such as the Harlem Globetrotters. The franchise picked up Dennis Rodman in the offseason, teaming him with Jordan and Scottie Pippen for maybe the best combination of offense and defense the league has ever seen.
The —12 NBA seasonscheduled to begin November 1,with a matchup between the defending champion Dallas Mavericks and the Chicago Bulls, was postponed due to a labor dispute. They also had the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson on their team and he kept the egoes in check up until when even he could not fix this team's problems.
Bird, who averaged Mannix: How much do you think it has to do with the cycle itself?
