I suppose if winning is the goal, you can’t argue with results, but I guess my personal view is that the value of sports is much more than records or titles. Sports can teach us a lot of important lessons about how to be successful in life, values like hard work, unselfishness, and handling adversity are just a few. As much as I love to watch and play sports, if values like that are not being stressed and modeled, I don’t care to be involved as a participant or a fan.

If kids can learn anything from this horrible organization is that you don’t need sportsmanship, goodwill, bonds, or friendship to win. Kobe Bryant alienated and mistreated his teammates for years, threatening to be traded if they didn’t make certain roster switches and acted like a total baby and pissed off all his teammates. And guess what, they won 2 NBA titles that way. Prior to that he and Shaq had a virtual feud and won 3.

This doesn’t surprise me that the Bulls operated on a similar business-like fashion, because it worked. Michael Jordan was never known as a Magic type personality, Jordan wasn’t known as this great emotional leader and voice of everybody, he just played well, the organization bought into it and they ran their business and won. The NBA is about winning despite all of your moral issues. This is why I don’t watch NBA in this house with my kids, because the morals you teach directly conflict with what works in the NBA. The NBA is definitiely for adults.

The important thing is mutual respect at the work place. After all there is a business side to basketball, but in the end, one single common goal. To win. No one did it better at that time then the Bulls. Jordan, Pippen and Rodman went along with their business and got the job done.
Conversely, you get a guy like Terrell Owens in a locker room, then all H@## breaks loose.

I remember Rodman being called a villian on the WGN Basketball promos on tv. So it’s not hard to imagine that Jordan and Pippen might have still had some bad blood.

If they did have a conversation outside of the game, it would go something like this…

Jordan: Man, that was a great win yesterday.
Pippen: Yeah, it really was.
Jordan: UGH! I just love winning. Other 31 franchises should just quit.
Pippen: We do have a strong team.
Jordan: I had..what..54 points..not bad. More happy we got the W.
Rodman: So I’m thinking about marrying myself.

Everything else aside but the singular focus to just get the job done. and they did.

I don’t care who sat next to each other on the bus or plane.
I don’t give a damn about who played cards together.

Living in Chicago, I watched every game… they dominated the NBA and they were entertaining as hell.
That was more than enough for me.
The rest is just fluff for guys that want their sports stars to be more than what they really are.
People doing a job for money.

What else you gonna talk about in the locker room?
