Lassa Fever and other cool stories. Lol ok oh. Make dem dey drink cool zobo. You can see how Corona cases went from 1k to 2k in one week even with our limited testing but Lassa Fever, Malaria and diabetes
Roland17: Yes, they were winning but they could not get over the hump until Phil arrived with the triangle and they won their first title in 1991. If you ask me, you can not isolate Pippen's maturation from MJ's influence, that is one strong information I have learned since watching the documentary. Not like I was unaware but it just grounded my belief even more. Pippen had the body but man was a chicken when he first came into the league, to which the Pistons even alluded to that. The same way you can not isolate Pippen's growth to the triangle because it was perfect timing during his maturation process and Michael's resolve to win a title overtook his desire to win individual accolades as he was tired of losing to the Pistons.
Doug Collins took them to a conference finals as well. Perhaps they are not as dominant like they were with Phil but with an improving Pippen I can still see them winning titles
Let's also get one thing clear, Phil Jackson was not taking that Bulls squad from 84-88 anywhere whether with triangle or rectangle offense. Those teams were the traveling cocaine circus
Of course MJ played a very crucial role in Scottie's maturation and pushed him to become better as a second banana to MJ.
Roland17: Haha!!! Did you see where he ranked MJ? Dude had his personal issues but I'd not allow those issues to question his relevance during that era because he was one of the best players during that era.
He's a salty old man. He really needs to search himself and ask himself why Magic, Bird, Malone, Daly didn't lobby to get him back into the team.
Magic was his friend and it's rumored Isiah was spreading rumors about his sexuality when he was diagnosed with HIV
What I find the most hilarious in all this is that Bron fanboys who swore Isiah was old and washed when the Bulls beat them are now suddenly arguing that Isiah deserved to make the team in 92. Lol which is it?
benji93: up and coming is kind of an undervaluation, Man. . He won the MVP in 1987/1987 season and had averaged over 30 points per game 5 consecutive seasons prior to the 1990/1991 season . Although I agree with the fact that they beat him up, with some help from the referees. Besides, it is said that Isiah was injured during that 1990 season(regular). If he was healthy maybe that could have affected the outcome of the finals(at least they don't get swept). .
Maybe not up and coming as a star but perhaps as a leader. He did a lot or had to do a lot on his own
I don't want to hear anything about Isiah injury. He averaged 38 mins in that sweep. Lol I no wan hear any story
Ibeme: They should just cancel all League seasons jare.
3 Cologne players just tested positive. That means Bundesliga restart just cannot happen anytime soon.
A player in Ligue 1 is in coma with Covid. Dybala is still positive 6 weeks later and said to be struggling with his lungs. He cannot get back to fitness anytime soon. Meanwhile De Ligt has been allowed to go home to Holland which will take 4 weeks before he is allowed to come out of Quarantine if he does return.
Any player that catches Covid on restart will just delay things, and if anyone dies or gets debilitating conditions, litigation will ensue
Dutch league, French and Belgian leagues are cancelled. I don't see how clubs from those countries can participate in UCL or Europa
EPL talking about playing in only 10 stadiums with tens of thousands of test kits required and training looking like a logistical nightmare. Even FA is saying they won't allow players to touch each other at corners and setplays etc and balls will have to be disinfected 4 times a match.
Then you have some players complaining that they also have families, children and parents and are scared.
Summary of all this, is they should just cancel the season.
PSG have been awarded the league.
There will be no perfect scenario or solution for this thing. I'm all for any scenario that will see seasons conclude one way or another.
Roland17: It was mostly Phil if you ask me. When Krause brought Phil in from the CBA I think, he was hired as an assistant and he spent more time with Tex Winter who is the originator of the triangle offense. Tex was acknowledged as one of the best offensive brains in basketball at that time and was a technical staff under Doug Collins. Tex tried to sell the triangle offense to Doug severally but Doug was having none of it because like you said and we all know, they had the GOAT on the roster, so it was easy to just pass the ball to MJ and make sure he had the last shot.
Phil comes in as an assistant and is spending a lot of time with Tex talking about the triangle offense which Phil had never heard about. Phil bought the idea after several months of understudying and learning the specifics with Tex. When Doug was fired and Phil hired, Phil introduced the Triangle to MJ and the team. MJ alluded that it was tough but he knew it was best for the team if the ball moved around. That was how Pippen blew up as he had more touches and with MJ supporting him, he felt more comfortable.
They were making progress but could not get over the hump with Doug because the Pistons knew they had to roughen up the Bulls and make sure Michael is all they worried about. All of that changed with Phil. Phil made the Pistons worry about more than just MJ, also, Phil convinced MJ to bulk up and man did he become immovable after he bulked up.
I think I would have agreed entirely if the Bulls were not winning while Scottie Pippen was in his prime. Then we can solely say the Triangle and Phil Jackson was the sole reason for the Bulls to become dominant.
Remember Pippen was drafted 87 season. 87/88 was his rookie year, 88/89 they made conference finals while Pippen was still an average Joe. And lost to the Pistons who were far and away the best in the league. In fact they were the only team that avoided a sweep
How much credit is due to the Triangle and Phil Jackson vs how much credit is due to the maturation of Scottie Pippen and the Bulls will forever be moot
benji93: It's about time they talk about this. It's been bottled for far too long. . For what it's worth this guy kicked the GOAT's ass for several years until he couldn't, so if anyone should want the smoke, he definitely has earned it. .
Of course they beat an up and coming MJ but once he had a decent squad. It was a sweep!!! And they never recovered.
Roland17: Isaiah Thomas wants all the SMOKE!!!!!! #Lastdance
Lmaoooo he's still salty at MJ even though MJ gave him his due props as the 2nd best PG of all time.
Who will break it to Isiah that Magic and other dream team members didn't want him on the team? Is it Jordan's fault that he had such a terrible personality so much so that neither the coach (Pistons coach btw) and other members of the team couldn't stand for him
Godx: Their is nothing Don about Sergio Ramos when it comes to his defensive ability. One of the most overrated player I have ever seen who has whitewashed his reputation because of couple goals he scored in champions league finals. The Sergio Ramos i watch week in week out is a wack defender and a clown.
You think an overrated player can survive 14 years at the highest level for Spain and Madrid winning individual and collective trophies.
Godx: Their is nothing great about Ramos defensive ability. His accolades has made him more glorified than his actual ability as spillo pointed out before. Judging Ramos purely on his defensive ability he is wack and not better off than David Luiz or any other error prone defender out there. Most carded player in the history of la liga, Real Madrid, El classico ,Spainish national team, Champions league and the entire of Europe's major leagues. You can't be shitting on other defenders and go ahead to name Ramos as a great defender. That's an Error.
Lool go and watch Euro 2012 Final and see how Ramos pocketed Balotelli after he destroyed Germany in the semifinals
What is this ungodly Ramos slander? Show me one big CL or Spanish NT game where Ramos has cost his team victory
Imagine comparing Don Sergio to a circus like David Luiz. Blasphemous. Like Stephen A Smith would say
BlueRayDick: If I were to be a medical doctor or health worker na "Young shall grow motors" night bus me sef go enter commot Kano at this critical moment.
I hate nonesense. How can I be endangering my life for people who don't want to be saved? Their governor and political class keep playing politics with the virus, the citizens will not stay indoors but rather pray in hundreds in mosques everyday and somebody expects the doctors to be the heroes. It won't happen.
Prior to recording their index case Ganduje was smiling all about posing for the Camera in the isolation centre claiming they are more than prepared. Now less than 2 weeks of recording their index case they are already losing the battle and asking federal government for 15 billion.
In fact if I be doctor for federal government hospital in Abuja and other states and I was transferred to Kano sef at this time I will resign and wait till after pandemic and travel out of the country. Those people's refusal to ditch their age-long cultural and religious practices will endanger the lives of health workers
That Kano and Kaduna axis the problem brewing there ehn. Anyway this is Nigeria we no too value human life like that.
You will hear stuff like only 200 people died not 300. And nobody wants to find out what killed them.
If I were a medical personnel I go japa from that axis faster than you can say Gandollars
feedthenation Take it as told by your media nanny, maybe it will stop you from being dumb!
A40 Dumb hack, your noodle brain is made of lies, sarcastic because you are caught.
You zero IQ needs a shot of bleach just so you can grow some brain cells!
whitelotus Trump is not the reason you are dumb, seek help, Trump could have meant to be sarcastic but it didn't come out as that to me.
WORRDWORLD This is not about Trump but about standing with the truth, so get your head out of your ass!
maasoap Liar, go and watch the 2 mins video and not the propaganda cut, relieve yourself from pain of drinking bleach. Chloroquine hasn't killed a single soul, mad zombie!
tundess If you are not a coronavirus bat, you would have known that the casino was opened on behalf of the white hat CIA to help lure, track and take down mafia.
basilico Exactly! Liberals are so dumb, this is why the deepstate have been able to pull the biggest scams over and over again. Just imagine a lockdown over what's less than a flu
Obrigardo You are the one dumb enough to drink lysol, that's what liberals do, don't blame Trump.
budaatum Get your welfare ass out to work, poverty and depression will kill you faster than flu.
BlueRayDick: Na only few places the thing go work Jàre. Kano that has 44 local governments. Some Local Government sef the police post wey dey dere no fit pass 2 with a very large expanse of land.
How dem wan take enforce lockdown for that kind place. Na audio lockdown go happen foe those places
Audio lockdown oh.
Ti olopa ba fe gbemu by the time they burn like two police station won ma se normal
birdman: Rolling with the 90s bulls and MJ will bring out every insecurity and self doubt you have. Even just from the interviews you can tell Krause had a self esteem problem. That shot at Phil was more fear than stupidity - how will you fire a coach that goes 82-0? Because he has threatened your sense of self worth.
You know whats sad? The man is dead and he is still getting no love - pride does a different level of damage to people. I should add that I feel some type of way about bagging on a man who cant respond. It would have been nice to get his perspective 2 decades later
The man went out of his way to antagonize this team. It's hard to feel sorry for him when he constantly tries to hog the spotlight to himself.
I am not really a fan of canonizing someone just cause they are late. Nobody is labelling him an evil person or accusing him of a criminal offense. However a lot of people didn't know just how big of a role he played in dismantling that team. Nothing wrong in highlighting this
Roland17: Jerry Krause desperately wanted to be a part of the inner caucus. He felt threatened by Phil's popularity and how close he had gotten with MJ/Pippen/Rodman. I can't understand for the life of me why he would rock the boat in the middle of the season by saying Phil will not return the following season. I mean, he could have waited until the end of the season and that just backfired because Michael is as loyal as they come. This man would have been celebrated today if he did not get jealous. I mean, he got Phil, saw the potential in Pippen, and was the brain behind bringing Rodman from the Spurs but got overzealous.
Jerry Krause suffered Napoleon complex. And worse still was backed an opportunistic owner who stumbled on an all-time great. Whose basketball ability raised the value of his ball club by at least ten fold.
I don't quite understand why a GM was so eager to hog the spotlight and so anxious to rock the boat and try to fix what was not broke. I look at a team like the Spurs. Who is RC Buford? Most people don't know.
This is not baseball or American football. Your success is heavily reliant on players yet the owner and GM insisted on underpaying them despite bringing you 6 titles in 12 seasons
Roland17: Don't forget, transitioning from Doug Collins to Phil was not easy for MJ. Under Doug, Michael had the ball most times. The ball always found a way to Michael and that was Doug's strategy but Phil came in with the triangle which basically moved the ball around, meaning MJ was having fewer touches and his PPG dropped but he understood it was the best for the team and bought in.
I think it was part Phil and part Doug. I don't believe Phil would have done anything were he Bulls coach between 84 and 88. They were a terrible squad.
Doug had already reached the ECF before Phil became head coach. They were certainly making progress. Bear in mind they were the only team that beat the Pistons in 88/89. They swept everyone else
Roland17: It is funny because MJ warned them not to allow his take that 48 hrs break. lol. But when the GOAT knocks on your hotel door very early in the morning, you know the party is over!
80's and 90's players were really wildin. The Bulls used to be the traveling cokehead circus, Len Bias OD'd on coke two days after being drafted
In Rodman's case na Carmen Electra box hypnotize am
Roland17: Throughout this series one thing you would observe is that Michael was gracious, respectful and kind to the media. Despite the repeated questions surrounding his future, he always spoke with respect to them. #Lastdance
Haha but the way he always roasted Jerry Krause both in public and private.
It's good that the terrible job Jerry Krause and Jerry Reinsdorf did running that organization is really coming to light. And fitting too that they have had no success whatsoever since he left
Unlimited22: From Lassa fever to hypertension and now malaria according to a commissioner from Kano. Let them keep playing politics with people's lives, safe in the knowledge that they have a committee of Voltrons who'll believe them even if they say the colour of the clear sky is reddish brown.
As they said, they have done verbal autopsy. Crazy people
Shey hypertension and malaria no dey before? Wetin cause this sudden spike
Ibeme: Ayade is doing the worst with those his Ankara masks. They are actually dangerous as they give a false sense of security.
Meanwhile @ornicus, see how many eminent Kanoites died today. Like I said Covid will hit Nigeria and 95% of deaths will go unrecorded. All those watching NCDC stats daily are just kidding themselves.
Lool anyone waiting on NCDC numbers just dey waste their time. Kano which is fast looking like the second most affected city has not produced any results for 3 days.
I won't be suprised if at least half of that list you posted are COVID 19 victims.
Nothing in the SE region as well.
Whatever NCDC numbers are I have raised to power 4. Because our testing capacity is laughable even within Africa never mind globally
Kano is sitting on a powder keg. With a governor playing politics with this pandemic
