From 1991 to 2011






















Last night I was tweeting as I do most nights and I was watching the Bulls game. I was trying to make a really good point about the similarities between the 1991 team and the 2011 team and I completely failed. I said they were ten years apart, when they are twenty. So now everyone that reads knows that I am a legit idiot. Since cramming the similarities into 140 characters is a bit of a challenge, I figured I would write a blog post about it, so here we go.
In 1991, I was three years old. I don't remember the Bulls winning the championship that year at all, but I do remember the years after and I realize that the 1991 team was the team that started it all. Jordan finally got the teammates he needed to win a championship and so they did win one. It was Jordan's first championship and it started something huge for his career and for the city of Chicago. He went on to win 6 total championships and both of them 3-peats. On to the 2011 Bulls, they were in the playoffs last year but were missing just a little something with their team. They got that in Carlos Boozer and also with Deng becoming a much better player this season. Now they have a chance to win the championship as they are 1st place in the Eastern Conference. These teams seem way too much alike to be just a mere coincidence.
I know that Derrick doesn't like to be compared to Michael Jordan, but there are some very obvious similarities. In 1991, Jordan won the MVP, this year it looks like Derrick Rose will win the MVP. They both are very aggressive and really good players. Derrick Rose grew up idolizing Michael Jordan, and who knows maybe the next Bulls star is idolizing Derrick Rose this year.
That about raps up everything I had to say. The last thing is that the Bulls and Michael Jordan were recognized as contenders, but not really thought of as a championship team until 1991, the same this is with this Bulls team. I just hope that the Bulls can do what the Bulls did in 1991.

Just for fun I posted this YouTube video. I am legit in love with it.
