I mean, the Bulls just shut them down.
They really did.
And I think Ron Harper had a sensational game tonight.
Defensively against John Stockton,
who's certainly one of the best point guards of all time.
And John never was able to get into the game.
Utah's pick and roll offense, it's their bread and butter.
It just isn't working against the Bulls.
Really terrific team effort by Chicago tonight.
You know, I want to ask you another thing with Michael
Jordan.
And as all Bulls fans know, Rod Thorne
was general manager of the Bulls and was
responsible for drafting Michael back in 1984.
As this thing winds down, Rod, you
see it from a little bit different perspective now.
But what's your take on Michael's career?
How do you feel about being the guy that brought him to Chicago?
Well, I feel very good about that.
A few draft picks I made that turned out to be pretty good.
I'm just thrilled as a fan to be able to watch
Michael over the years.
He's such a great player.
Many feel the greatest player of all time.
But he transcends, I think, our sport to some extent.
And that he's, I would say, the most popular athlete
in the world.
And I don't know, we've never had a basketball player
be that.
And he's just marvelous.
He's terrific.
And congratulations on your being a part of that, too.
I mean, it's a great moment for you, I'm sure.
It sure is.
Thank you, Dan.
Rod, thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy the rest of the series.
Well, I'm sure the next game will
be much more competitive than the one tonight.
No question about that.
Thanks again for stopping by.
Of course, we'll have much more from the United Center
later on tonight.
Postgame will begin in a couple of minutes.
We'll bring you some of that.
