Last week, I wrote about the brilliant and beloved Bulls assistant coach JOHNNY BACH. He was a players' favorite, including for both Jordan and Pippen.
I wonder: would Michael and Scottie be feuding if Johnny Bach was alive?

To Johnny Bach, king of the Dobermans
The late great Bach made everyone happy except opposing offenses.

"Sloan and those guys ... saved the Bulls, and saved Chicago in the NBA. And I know I was a part of that."
Today I published one of my favorite interviews of my career, with a then-93-year-old Dick Motta. Thanks Coach!

Dick Motta turned the Bulls into a winner, and his teams saved the franchise. Today he is 94, living happily with his wife in Fish Haven, Idaho. I spoke with the NBA legend about his Bulls and basketball journey. This is a special one!

I turned 8 in '89!
2005 was just something else. We were spared a bad Hawks team because of the lockout, but Sox won the World Series, Bears and Bulls had incredible "back from nowhere" seasons, the Illini almost won the title and the mid Cubs had Derrek Lee going for the triple crown.

Thanks for reading! '89 had the Cubs obviously. Bulls had a great postseason but fewer wins than '88. Bears were a disaster. Hawks and Sox were way under .500.
Why do you take '89?
