Jordan, Bulls motivated by Magic to go 72-10
If the Golden State Warriors wonder how the Chicago Bulls set the bar so incredibly high in 1995-96, Brian Hill can give them a history lesson.
He knows first-hand why the Holy Grail of NBA team records is an incomprehensible 72-10.
The Orlando Magic, then coached by Hill, are largely responsible for motivating the league's greatest player to lead the Bulls to the league's greatest season.
There's no doubt that the record the Warriors are chasing was inspired by the Magic's playoff ouster of Michael Jordan and the Bulls the previous year.
