Message: [QUOTE="selles, post: 2746319, member: 1176"] I think what younger folks may not fully grasp is that many, many members of the "Jordan cult" didn't root for Jordan and in fact rooted fervently for the Bulls to lose. You have fans of the Celtics and Lakers who wanted to be able to argue that Magic/Bird and their 1980s squads were the best (hand raised). You have Pistons fans who wanted to argue their late 80s early 90s teams were the toughest. You have Knicks and Pacers and Western Conference fans who were trying to break through. We desperately wanted Jordan NOT to be the best. But you can only root for a guy to fail and then watch him will his team to victory on the highest stage but so many times before you admit defeat. The reason we're a cult is that Jordan flat beat any doubt of his supremacy out of us. [/QUOTE]
