Michael Jordan made an interesting comment during one of the final episodes of ESPN/Netflix’s documentary about his final season with the Chicago Bulls that caught New York Knicks fans’ attention.
In talking about the Bulls’ seven-game Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers in 1997-98, Jordan said the Pacers, other than Detroit, were his toughest opponent in the East.
Now, who am I, as a random basketball fan and blogger to question who His Airness believes were his greatest challengers? But I will try anyway.
Before Jordan was winning championships in handfuls, the Detroit Pistons were kicking his butt, quite literally.
