90's

    Having put his league in order and revived its media image, Stern now wants it to be known worldwide, which is fortunate as perhaps the most iconic sportsman in history will be shining on the floor with his team.

The 90's

    If you want to know everything about him, I invite you to watch the Netflix series "The Last Dance" which retraces his career perfectly. After having been in the East for a long time against monstrous teams, Celtic's then Pistons, Jordan's Bulls accompanied by Pippen and with Phil Jackson at the coaching will finally reach the NBA Finals in 1991, at this moment nothing will stop the machine that has just been put in motion. It's simple, the Bulls will have won 6 titles in the decade by making 2 3peat (3 titles in a row), 1991, 1992, and 1993 then 1996, 1997 and 1998. They will never lose once the finals are reached, in 1994 and 1995 the Bulls did not shine for a good reason, His Airness retired at only 30 years old for personal reasons, he will however come back for the 1995-96 season. This was one of the most crushing dynasties in history featuring the biggest winning beast the game has ever known, depriving great players like Patrick Ewing with the Knicks, Stockton and Malone with the Jazz or even Barkley with the Suns of a title in their career.

    However I didn't want to only talk about the Bulls in this post, first we'll talk about Hakeem Olajuwon's Rockets, coming from the same draft as number 23, Hakeem The Dream suffers from the comparison because he can't lead his team far. However, when Jordan retired, the player seized the opportunity and became the most dominant man in the league, winning championships in '94 and '95, achieving a Back2Back (2 titles in a row) and stopping the critics pointing fingers at him until now. Another important moment in this decade is the NBA 1996 Draft which is for me the greatest of all time because it had 3 futur MVP, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash and Koooooobe Briant (R.I.P.). Other players like Ray Allen, Stephon Marbury, Jermaine O'Neal, ... who will become AllStars complete this historic vintage marked by street style.
