    Default MJ was a player that hated losing more than he loved winning

    In the 1995 NBA playoffs, the bulls and magic met in the second round of the eastern playoffs. Michael Jordan had returned near the end of the 94-95 season, and the Bulls had been on an absolute tear since he came back.

    Shaq and Penny had been having a great season in the East.

    The magic beat the bulls in 6 games, and went on to lose to the Rockets in the finals.

    The very next season, the teams met in the eastern conference finals, with the bulls seemingly spanking Penny and Shaq, winning all 4 games before winning their 4th NBA title.

    So what was the difference between these two series?

    MJ was not rusty and was playing like a madman possessed. That loss stung MJ, a guy that

    absolutely hates losing. It lit a fire and set them up for the 2nd 3-peat

    MJ nonsense aside, those are the players you want on your team. The ones who hate losing more than they love winning.

    "So what was the difference between these two series?"

    1) Dennis Rodman.
    2) Horace Grant missed the series the next season

    But go back to 1995 and research that series versus Orlando again. What position was killing Chicago?

    Power Forward.





    Orlando had Chicago's PF. That's why Chicago lost.

    And Jordan would've lost again in 1996 if he didn't have Rodman, fire lit or not.

    So it doesn't matter how mad or hungry Jordan was, he wasn't advancing without a good PF.

    this is really the reason why MJ is a winner. Bron stans just cant accept the fact that there are players who will do anything for rings and bron isnt one of them.
