I went to elementary school in KC and spent my summers in Illinois. Either way, every Bulls game used to be on WGN so the entire country got to see all of MJ's games.
That was always awesome. I remember watching game 1 of the 1997 NBA Finals against Utah where MJ hit the game winner at the buzzer in my basement in Overland Park with my step-brother and his cousin. I was pumped. I think I tackled one of them.
It was 'swish', 'fist-pump', game.
Rodman was SO FAR into Malone's head...man, Malone was a classic choker. Letting Jordan steal the ball to set up the "shot" in 98 and missing two free throws before Jordan's game winner in the aforementioned 1997 game 1.
Game tied, Malone at the line...misses both...Jordan hits game winner at buzzer...series over after 1 game and you just knew it.
Rodman really owned in 96 and 97. He was great. Especially against the Sonics.
