That last part is what I found out when I tried out for the Cincy Reds...made me realize how average I was and how much work I had to do to get better...I was focused on other dumb shit back then.

J.A. Adande, who covered the Bulls for the Chicago Sun-Times, on The Lowe Post: “Benny The Bull sort of – his shape morphs over the years, and he becomes this more rotund Phillie Phanatic type of body – right? – over the years with the dyed hair. So, then, Zach, you remember they bring in Da Bull, who – as you’re getting into the more athletic mascots in the 90s, the guys who jump off the trampolines and stuff. So, Benny has become this overweight Bull. So, they add Da Bull to all this trampoline stuff, right? So, Jordan being Jordan trash talks Benny The Bull and says, “You’re no good. That’s why they brought in Da Bull to replace you.” He used to trash talk Benny The Bull.”

In a Tuesday appearance on flagship radio station SportsTalk 790, Bullard looked back on those memories. “When Scottie Pippen left the Bulls, I didn’t realize that he was coming off of being very underpaid for seven years,” Bullard said. “I didn’t know that he had that saltiness about being underpaid when he came to us. But I do remember, the rest of us — when Scottie came, and it was already after training camp had started a little bit — he came into Houston, and he never really did integrate himself into the Rockets’ organization.” Bullard continued: He never really tried to make an effort to be a Houston Rocket. … He was coming in thinking, ‘Hey, I’m Michael Jordan.’ I mean, not really Michael Jordan, but ‘I’m Scottie Pippen.’ And the rest of us could feel that. Those types of things still stick with me. … Looking back on all the teammates I’ve had, I would say that Scottie Pippen was not one of my favorite teammates. Because when I did play with him, he wasn’t trying to be a Rocket. He was just trying to be the man, and it didn’t really work
Matt Bullard: When Barkley came to the Rockets, he did try to integrate himself. He did a really good job of being a great teammate. He’s one of my favorite teammates of all-time. … I really enjoyed playing with him, and he really tried to make the Rockets better and play alongside Hakeem and Clyde , and really tried to win games. Charles had to take a paycut in order for Scottie Pippen to sign that big contract. I think when Charles made the sacrifice to take less money to bring in Pippen, and Scottie comes in and doesn’t try to integrate himself into the roster or the team, I think that really rubbed Charles the wrong way. Barkley really wanted to win a championship

Back when I was like 19... 15 year old Russell Westbrook ran my lil basketball clique off the court At Washington prep. Scored like 40 somethin points, all layups. So I know that even the bummiest of bums will work the average Joe any day
That said... I would still destroy Kendrick Perkins one on one, if I get the ball first. And no one can tell me otherwise

I played against a mid fifties Charles Smith and he is tough as fuck. Got a chance to go against a guy from the Washington Bullets in his much later years at an outside tournament out Lebanon PA that nigga was ridiculous on a hard ass backboard and tight rim. You're in the NBA for a reason

The 90's dont need an argument...if you know you know...the 2000's had the Lakers and spurs run..which demonstrated GREAT ball movement..especially by the Spurs. The Lakers were operating the triangle offense, which emphasized ball movement. Same for those classic Mavericks team w nash, Dirk, marion, Finley. There were great defenses as well w Detroit, spurs and even those Lakers squads played good defenses. The league went more offense. One thing about the early 2000s though...that flop shit started getting outta control then...w Reggie n Ginobili leading the way
