That’s how long this season has seemed to the Bulls.

”It’s been a long and grueling season,” Michael Jordan said.

A season that had Scottie Pippen missing the first 35 games because of foot surgery and Dennis Rodman behaving because of incentive clauses in his contract. A season of scoring supremacy from Jordan and soaring success from the Bulls.
