Rating: Summary: This is what all TRUE Bulls Fans have been waiting for!! Review: As a true blue Chicago Bulls fan (until Krause lost his mind and broke up the dynasty of Jordan and Company)this DVD set is simply the best! I can put it on and relive some of the best basketball there ever was with Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, Paxon, and the rest of the greatest team in NBA history. The sound and picture are superb and this is one DVD set that plays well on a big screen TV! I say it is a "slam dunk" for those who are Buls fans and fans of NBA at its best!
Rating: Summary: Da Bulls were not the greatest team.... Review: But the Bulls were led by the most bloodthristy, unrelenting, and dominating competitor in all of sports. If MJ was born in a different era, he would have been Alexander the Great, Napoleon (pre-Elba and Waterloo), or Genghis Khan. He was hated because nobody could beat him, not when he was minutes from dying of dehydration and exhaustion (1997 Game 5), not when he had 12 pieces of dead weight on his 35 year old shoulders (1998 Game 6), not when "God" wanted the Phoenix Suns to win (1993). He could care less about what "God" wanted; he was a divine force with a demonic drive to win. Even Larry Legend admitted that something divine flowed through the veins of Jordan. Face it Celtics and Lakers fans, if it ever came down to the Celtics and MJ (his 63 on the Celts in '86 would have been enough if his supporting cast added rather than subtracted from his overpowering performance), MJ would tear Bird apart and leave him whimpering for the friendly confines of his backyard in French Lick. Magic and MJ, 1991 pretty much proved that MJ is just a notch above Magic (with all respects due to Earvin). Earvin was blessed with a pack of HOFers or near HOFers, while MJ had an glorified solid defender by the name of Pippen, and a bunch of below mediocre blokes who he elevated to the levels they had no right of even approaching. If Jordan is not the greatest player, then he was the most unforgiving SOBs on the court. He was a killer, a closer, and a champion. And put him on a compotent team with a "hands off coach" like Phil Jackson; 6 titles, 6 playoff MVPs, and much love and respect (and deservedly so). P.S. - This is a great DVD set, that features 3 of the greatest single game performances by MJ playoffs or regular season (namely Game 1 in 1992, Game 5 in '97 and the ultimate capper (or what should have been the finale) Game 6 in '98. This is a great idea by the NBA. They should come with DVD sets that include something like the 10 best games from each playoff year...some maybe slimmer pickings than others...but its an idea.
Rating: Summary: BULLS Dynasty Greatest EVER Review: DVD is great well worth the money for any bulls fan or baskeball fan. MUST OWN.
Rating: Summary: A true dynasty. Review: From 1991 through 1993, and 1996 through 1998 red and black were the colors of royalty in the NBA. No other franchise during the sports-media-frenzied '90's dominated its game like Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Yes, Michael Jordan. The most fabeled athlete of our time. Other great dynasties dominated with a collection of greats like the Russell, Cousy, Havlicheck Celtics of the '60's, and the Bird, Parrish, McHale Celtics of the '80's. The Chamberlain, West, Baylor Lakers of the '70's, the Magic, Kareem, Worthy Lakers of the '80's, and the Shaq, Kobe tandem of the early twenty-first century. But unlike the '90's Bulls, those teams were dynasties within lasting legacies. They were also dominated by big men, great front lines. And yes, that is the way championships are traditionally earned. Not Jordan and the Bulls. All great NBA championship teams before or since dominated the game inside then out. In possibly the most difficult era to dominate (the era of free agency) Jordan's Bulls dominated outside then in. UNHEARD OF! As you will see in this fantastic compilation of highlights and actual game footage (entire games!!!) Jordan is the one constant. Keeping everything together in times of need, and in the process making everyone around him better. The Bulls were a team unlike any other in an era unlike any we have seen before or since. A true dynasty in every sense of the word. Description: Disc 1, side A The History of the Chicago Bulls. Learning to Fly: 1991 NBA Champions. Untouchabulls: 1992 NBA Champions.

Rating: Summary: Who doesn't wanna be like Mike? (eat your heart out, Shaq) Review: Haven't seen the whole set yet - but there's no question that it's a MUST HAVE for EVERY CHICAGO FAN - so we can remember the last time one of OUR teams won the whole enchilada. We all were a little happier back then - I planned my life around the Bulls' games - not wanting to miss ANY of it - Chicago fans KNOW the good stuff never lasts. I hope Bob Costas' best comment EVER is on this set: At the start of Game Three against the Jazz: "There's Karl Malone. In Game Two, he scored only two points more than a dead man."
Rating: Summary: Not bad but not a dynasty Review: I dont know what they are thinking, but the Bulls dynasty and the Lakers dynasty pales in comparison to the Celtics dynasty which doesnt even have its own DVD. Save your money
Rating: Summary: Can't go wrong with this one Review: It just never gets old watching what had to be the greatest dynasty ever. Sorry Boston, but you just didn't face the same competition in your heyday. Watching game 6 of the '96 series I found myself cheering just as if it were happening live. My only complaint with this set is with all the editing technology that's available, why could they not delete ALL of Bill Walton's commentary? If I have to listen to him make comparisons to Elvin Hayes, Kevin McHale, or anyone else that hasn't played ball since high tops were invented I'm gonna have to mute this. His bias is pathetic.

Rating: Summary: Dynasty? More like Die-Nasty!!! Review: Magic on the break, Worthy fills the lane, Magic to Worthy... here comes MJ... and Worthy takes it over MJ for the jam! Facial!.... Half-court set, Magic at point. Back door Coop-a-loop -- over both MJ and Pippen! In their face!! That's what time it is, baby! The Bulls will never be in the same class as the Lakers in their prime. But second best is not too shabby, and the Bulls deserve their props. Just get the Lakers DVDs first. And if a Celtics Dynasty DVD set was available, I'd get that just to see more Lakers games. But no Celts, so the Bulls must suffice. So, this is good stuff. Excellent team, footage, packaging and layout cannot be beat. One thing I'd change; the Bulls disc has 1991 NBA Finals Game 5. I'd prefer to see game 2; where the Bulls, after losing game 1, started to pull away... and MJ did the "I'm gonna dunk, no, think I'll lay it up" move, and looked at the Laker bench like "whassup?!" as he ran back for defense. At that exact moment, all was crystal clear: The Bulls had turned it on and pulled ahead in the game, they would win the series (you could see it), and the Lakers were eclipsed -- quite easily, once the Bulls changed gears. So, game 2 was the changing of the guard. Otherwise, great DVD set. But get the Lakers first, and see the greatest team ever!!! (And good ownership and management too :-)!!!)... And better looking cheerleaders and crowd.... Besides all that, full props to Da Bulls!
Rating: Summary: Unfortunate Poor Quality and Incomplete Review: The picture quality is so poor you can't make out the players at times. The NBA saw fit to put in advertising, for themselves. The games are incomplete, skipping most free throws and some of the game but they kept a lot of worthless Marv Albert dribble. The potential for this DVD set was enormous, what a disappointment with so many great moments missing. I am such a big Bulls Fan I would have bought this set even knowing what I know now, just don't get your hopes up too much. Shame on the NBA for not doing justice to the best team in history, and their fans.
