"I told Jordan he was overrated, I rooted against him his whole career" - Jalen Rose opens up about hating Michael Jordan and the Bulls
"I told Jordan he was overrated, I rooted against him his whole career" - Jalen Rose opens up about hating Michael Jordan and the Bulls originally appeared on Basketball Network. Growing up supporting a particular NBA franchise means you're married to its history. It means the highs and lows of the organization are ingrained in your memory, and the good times pulsate through your veins as if you were on the court yourself. For Detroit native Jalen Rose, that was his reality. Rose grew up a diehard Detroit Pistons fan and rode the waves of their struggles and success. Advertisement Throughout his childhood and into his teenage years, Detroit basketball was his everything. He was lucky enough to witness their back-to-back championships in 1989 and 1990, as well as their heated rivalry with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. So when the Pistons famously decided to leave the court early and not shake the Bulls' hands in 1991, Rose personally felt part of that walk-off. The Pistons' hatred towards the Bulls continued to manifest itself within Rose even as a professional himself, so much so that he made it his mission to root against Jordan his whole career. Dissing Mike It's one thing to dislike MJ, but it's an entirely different story to insult him to his face. Rose grew up during the toughest, most ruthless era in NBA history, meaning that even someone with the stature of Jordan didn't intimidate him in the slightest. Given his history against his hometown team, squaring up with "His Airness" actually invigorated Rose by lighting a competitive fire inside him. Advertisement Now, it's important to highlight that even Rose himself knew he wasn't close to Jordan's level during his NBA career, but that didn't stop him from verbally berating the Bulls icon during their meetings, questioning his greatness, and wishing for his failure. "I told Jordan he was overrated," Rose said. "Part of my ego makes me want to think I was a part of the Bad Boys Pistons team, but I actually didn't get a uniform, so when they walked off and didn't shake the Bulls hands, I felt that that was everything to me. I rooted against him his whole career, hoping that I made it to the NBA, and now I'm in the league, and there he goes." Humble pie Of course, the great ones are sought out by everyone because they're just that — great. No one is personally coming after role players, and Rose isn't making it his personal agenda to affront the likes of Craig Hodges, Bill Cartwright, or BJ Armstrong. He despised Jordan because he ended the most successful period in Pistons franchise history, and the distaste between the two teams was enough to fester for Jalen in the years that followed. Advertisement But there comes a point in every athlete's life where they have to tip their hat to greatness and acknowledge that they are competing against arguably the best that's ever lived. Rose and MJ faced off 21 times in their respective careers, with Jordan coming away victorious on 13 occasions to Rose's 8. They won three games apiece against each other in the postseason, which is a nice record on Rose's part. Still, "His Airness" did averaged over 25 points and five rebounds when they went head-to-head, including a 41-point explosion in May of 1998. While Rose was a serviceable and respected player in the league, there was a vast distance between them as players, and eventually, Rose had to swallow some humble pie and admit MJ was the greatest player of all time. "He won two separate three-peats and he won finals MVP every single time. I could give you all kinds of stats, but what I just said will never be duplicated. Yeah, he is the GOAT," he admitted. Advertisement Related: Jermaine O'Neal recalls the moment he realized Klay Thompson and Steph Curry were special: "If it hit the rim, it don't count" Growth and maturity In more ways than one, Rose's admission perfectly represents what young players go through in the Association. They enter as wide-eyed, raw talents with no experience and must find their place in the league. They battle the unknowns and bring their past trauma and feelings about certain teams and players along for the ride. Whether players idolize or despised a player matters in their ultimate makeup and plays a role in shaping how they view the league and approach their careers. Advertisement Rose used his hatred for the Bulls and Jordan as motivation and never forgot where he came from. As he matured throughout the years, he understood that those feelings would always come to the surface, but humility was also an important ingredient in his success. Unfortunately, for some, this maturation process comes far too late. Often, they've since left the league and can only look back on their time and mull over what they could have done differently. Every season, we see media and podcast appearances from former players who openly admit the mistakes they made on and off the court during their career. The roles they couldn't accept, the fights they should've avoided, the choices they wish they could take back, and all the regrets that come with playing a professional sport and trying to juggle your ego. In Rose's case, he still has no regrets about what he said to Jordan in the heat of battle, but to his credit, he also recognizes he was up against the best to ever do it.

"It gets so bad I have to turn around and stare at Scottie" - Phil Jackson recalls how Scottie Pippen abused Jerry Krause over his contract
"It gets so bad I have to turn around and stare at Scottie" - Phil Jackson recalls how Scottie Pippen abused Jerry Krause over his contract originally appeared on Basketball Network. Shortly after the Chicago Bulls' historic last dance, head coach Phil Jackson reflected on the numerous challenges the team encountered during that tumultuous period. One was Scottie Pippen's public threat to leave the Bulls if his contract situation did not improve. Advertisement Jackson remembered how Pippen consistently directed his frustrations at the Bulls' general manager, Jerry Krause, seizing every opportunity to voice his discontent. But one confrontation stood out. "Scottie, who is still on injured reserve, tells some reporters he wants to be traded, that he's not going to play for the Bulls ever again," Jackson shared via ESPN. "I figure he's just feeling his oats, momentarily ticked off about his horrible contract that pays him less than probably a hundred players in the league. But on the bus ride from the airport to the hotel, he tears into Krause from the back." "Usually, Michael is the one who showers Krause with ridicule. But now Scottie is giving serious abuse. 'Hey, Jerry,' he yells. 'You going to sign me to a contract or trade me?' It gets so bad I have to turn around and stare at Scottie," he added. Phil couldn't tell if Scottie was serious about leaving Throughout his illustrious coaching career, Jackson maintained a composed demeanor, even in the most intense moments. His ability to keep his emotions in check set him apart from other coaches, who often resorted to yelling and showing frustration. Advertisement Still, even Jackson found himself perplexed with the Pippen situation, particularly by the unusual behavior of his star small forward. It also didn't help that at that time, the Bulls were facing their own struggles on the court, and the legendary coach openly confessed to experiencing stress, an emotion he typically managed with ease. "The next day at practice, Scottie runs well, but he doesn't have much gas," Jackson continued. "And as he talks to the press afterward, he says that after all he had done for the team, he can't stand being treated with so little respect, and he can't see himself ever wearing a Bulls uniform again." "But that night on the bench, he is dressed to the nines in a gray pinstripe suit and boxed-toe shoes, and he cheers wildly, especially for Kukoc, who is taking his place. Still, we lose our fourth close game of the season, and I don't know what is going on. In the past, we were always the ones who won the close ones. My sleep is suffering," he concluded. Related: Charles Barkley says "The Last Dance" increased his reverence for Michael Jordan: "Some of those fouls, you would get suspended multiple games today" Scottie's last dance in Chicago Despite the turmoil surrounding his contract situation, Pippen continued to play for the Bulls during the 1997-98 season. Although Chicago may have been willing to offer him a more lucrative contract or even if Jordan had chosen to remain with the team, Pip was firm in his decision that this would be his final season with the franchise. Advertisement He was looking for an organization that would treat him with respect and value his contributions and impact. "Even before Michael announced his retirement, I knew that I was taking a different route than returning to Chicago," the seven-time All-Star said in an interview with NBC's Hannah Storm in 1999. "I wouldn't have returned. Over time, you know, I still feel like there is some type of relationship there between me and the Bulls, but to have been there would have been very difficult for me." "He pretty much knew it. You know, we talked a tremendous amount of time throughout the season, and we sort of had that vibe, that feeling after the season, that it was pretty much our last time together," the legendary forward added. "It was a little bit emotional at that time, but I knew that was it." Pippen's post-Bulls run Going into the last season of the Bulls dynasty, Krause was already sure about breaking up the team and starting the rebuilding process. Keeping an aging veteran like Pippen was not part of his plans. Advertisement The following season, Pippen found a new home with the Houston Rockets. He was optimistic about their trio with Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon but they failed to win a championship. He then joined the Portland Trail Blazers and was appointed the team leader. However, that squad also failed to win a title.

Mike Bianchi: Admit it, UCF fans, you miss hating USF
ORLANDO, Fla. — I'm just going to come right out and say it, even if many UCF fans will wag their finger and accuse me of sleeping with the enemy. I feel sorry for the USF Bulls. And I miss them. I miss them desperately. Advertisement I miss their fans. I miss their arrogance. I miss their banter and their buildup to the War on I-4. The reason I bring this up today is because USF just lost its highly respected athletic director Michael Kelly, who accepted the AD job at Navy earlier this week. Kelly was one of the program's biggest assets. He stabilized an athletic department that was in flux when he arrived and he was the driving force behind finally getting an on-campus football stadium approved and underway — something Bulls fans had been dreaming about for decades. Losing Kelly in the midst of the debt-heavy stadium project is yet another major blow for an athletic program that is already struggling to stay relevant — both financially and competitively. Here's all you need to know: UCF will make $45 million in Big 12 TV money next season while USF will make $7 million in the American Athletic Conference. In other words, the Knights will make nearly $400 million more over the next decade than will the Bulls. Advertisement I know, I know. I know what you UCF fans are thinking. You're thinking: 'All those years of arrogance bought them exactly what they deserve: a front-row seat to our payday. Maybe we should start a GoFundMe for them — NOT!' I get it. We all know the history. For years, USF was UCF's arch-rival — not just on the field, but in boardrooms and conference calls, in the politics of college football realignment, in the back channels of the old Big East and Conference USA. The Bulls tried desperately to keep UCF from joining them at college football's big-boy table. The Bulls got their big break first in 2005 when they were invited into the Big East — a league that still had automatic BCS bowl status and enough brand-name cachet to feel 'big time.' Advertisement Meanwhile, UCF — even though its program was older — sat stuck in the mid-major muck, banging on the glass like a frantic Christmas Eve shopper who shows up at the department store just as it has closed and locked its doors. USF was like a typical trust-fund kid who was born on third base and acted like he hit a triple. USF's leadership — led by former president Judy Genshaft, head coach Jim Leavitt and the school's cocky fan base — made no secret of how they viewed UCF at the time: as an afterthought that didn't belong in their stratosphere. The Bulls dropped UCF from the schedule and their message was clear: 'We don't need UCF. We don't want UCF. We'll do whatever we can to keep UCF out of the Big East.' USF had its 15 minutes of fame, rising quickly under Leavitt, briefly ascending as high as No. 2 in the national polls in 2007, and thinking it was poised to become Florida's next football powerhouse. Advertisement Then — poof! — it was gone. In the years since, the Big East crumbled under the weight of realignment. USF lost its seat at the big kids' table. UCF kept grinding, kept building, kept winning — culminating in a move to the Big 12 that USF fans once would have considered unthinkable. Which brings me back to my original point: I can't help it. I feel sorry for USF. Not because I think UCF owes them anything, but because I always believed UCF and USF were better together than they are apart. There's no denying UCF's ascendance has left the Knights without a natural rival and feeling somewhat adrift in the Big 12. Advertisement All the Big 12 teams are a thousand miles away. The shared history is thin. The hate, frankly, has to be manufactured. USF was the game where everything mattered except the records. USF was the game where fans could talk-trash all year long, and nobody had to Google where the other school was located. I'll never forget the 2013 game, the first 'War on I-4' after UCF joined USF in the new American Athletic Conference. The stakes were massive for UCF with a potential Fiesta Bowl bid on the line. Even though UCF was 10-1 at the time and USF was 2-8, the Knights had to score on a long pass from Blake Bortles to Breshad Perriman with less than five minutes left to eke out a 23-20 win in front of a frenzied crowd at the Bounce House. Advertisement Or what about the 2017 thriller on Black Friday when undefeated UCF beat 9-win USF, 49-42, on a late 95-yard kickoff return from Mike Hughes? It was one of the most dramatic college football games I've ever seen and had everybody — including Dale Earnhardt Jr. — raving about it on social media. Those games mattered. And part of what made them matter was the mutual disdain. Now? UCF fans get to travel to Lubbock, Texas, and Ames, Iowa — fine places, I'm sure, but they don't exactly stir the emotions the same way Tampa did. And USF? They're trying to rebuild under promising coach Alex Golesh, fighting to regain relevance in a sport that has increasingly locked out programs without a Power 4 label. Advertisement Here's the hard truth: The Bulls are now where UCF once was — noses pressed against the glass, watching their old rival dine on surf and turf while they eat beans and weenies. I understand how many UCF fans delight in USF's demise, but as an Orlandoan who used to love to watch this rivalry simmer and boil, I'd rather see the Bulls back to their swaggering, peacocking ways, pounding their chests and acting as if they invented college football. I'd rather see them in the Big 12, where the War on I-4 could be an annual high-stakes affair again. In this era of college sports, where geography is ignored and tradition is sold off for media rights, rivalries are one of the few things that still feel real. Advertisement And I miss this one. I miss the jabs on social media. I miss the War on I-4. I miss the green-and-gold invasion of Orlando. I miss UCF fans packing Raymond James Stadium and taking over the parking lots. Even if UCF has blown by USF in national cachet, that doesn't mean the Knights should root for the Bulls to fail. In fact, it's in UCF's long-term interest for USF to get back up, dust itself off and rejoin the big stage. For all the bitterness that once defined this rivalry, here's the truth that no Knights fan wants to say out loud: UCF football was more fun when USF mattered enough to hate. ____
