Was just browsing the NBA standings. "Yep, West still rules. Detroit is the #1 seed out East, but would be like the 6th seed out West, pathetic. Oh God, look at those poor, poor Celtics."

And then I saw the record of the Mavericks. 43-9! That's winning 83% of their games!

Then it dawned on me. These Mavericks would have to go 30-0 in the final 30 games to break the record of 72-10 set by the Bulls in 1995. I can barely wrap my head around how amazing that season was.

BTW, I'm just some random Pistons fan. But a big sports history guy. Just found this to be pretty neat. Must have been awesome to be a Bulls fan back in the Jordan era.

heck yeah it was really fun but then it sucked when he played baseball then returned, then lost a little, then won then retired then came back with wizards and sucked.

edit: well he never did suck cuz he was MJ but it was very disappointing with the Wizards.

Jordan was responsible for de-throning the great Pistons of the late 80s/early 90s, so it was hard for me to enjoy his time in the league. I was always pissed at him.

I'm from NY... Jordan was a Knicks KILLER. He's probably the main reason Ewing never got a championship.

and not just him... Drexler, Perkins, Daugherty and quite a few others (who am I forgetting? probably a good list!) might have rings without Jordan.

drexler won a ring with houston...on a sidenote - pissed that houston lost tonight, so close...

crazier still is that they started 0-4. which means they're 44-5 over the past 49 games.

I saw Jordan play live once. He scored like 23 points in about 10 minutes of playing time. It was an exhibition vs. the Washington Bullets here in Birmingham. Would have been in somewhere around the time of 89-91. It was right before my father passed, and he took us to the game. I bought a Lakers hat.
