What: “Unforgetabulls: The Sixth NBA Championship of the Chicago Bulls”
Price: $19.98
There were two options when making this year’s Chicago Bull highlight video. Grab a highlight reel from one of the other five championships, change the year and re-release it or come up with “Unforgetabulls.”
“Unforgetabulls” is different from those other five in a major way: It chronicles the team’s last dance. From the beginning, former coach Phil Jackson made it clear that this was the end of his role in the dynasty.
But we still have the memories: Their first loss of the season to the Boston Celtics, Scottie Pippen’s return after missing 35 games, Kobe vs. Michael, the playoffs against the New Jersey Nets, the Indiana Pacers and Utah Jazz; the final miss by John Stockton in the deciding Game 6. The closing minutes offer highlights of the previous five championships, showing the evolution of the game’s greatest player and one of its most successful franchises.
