I know it’s happened and this is probably the least interesting post ever but when I reflect on recent NBA history, it is still shocking to me what happened that year. I never thought it would be remotely possible. It was just a record that could never be touched.
And yet it really happened. I don’t think it gets enough credit because of the “it don’t mean a thing without the ring” piece but as time passes, I gotta say it’s just a standalone incredible achievement.
The fact that the last 30 games of the season they were the target for every team, no one wanted to see them do it, and they still did it. It’s incredibly impressive.
people downvoting this are morons…they lost the title, lost as many games in the playoffs as they had in the regular season, had a worse record going into the finals than the 96 Bulls (and obviously afterwards too) but the truth hurts people’s feelings so they just downvote to make themselves feel better
