Why Michael Jordan Stopped Praising Luc Longley | @ABCNewsIndepth #shorts

Luc Longley was not featured or interviewed in the Netflix documentary “The Last Dance” so Australian news company ABC News In-depth did a follow-up documentary on Luc Longley to tell his side of the story… being drafted to the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning three championships with the Bulls and then continuing his career for three more seasons after leaving Chicago. If you have not watched this yet by ABC In-depth, highly recommend that you do! Role players get such limited press coverage since the media is so superstar-driven and Luc’s story is a great listen!

  1. For those who don’t know, Luc is Australia. In general they have a laid back temperament unfortunately. Compared to many of the high adrenaline, in your face, Americans.

  2. Who needs super teams when you can average just about 40 in finals series and games are under 100 points in total

  3. Just example how fragile team chemistry is. When MJ first retired? Same team still decent , but loose in playoffs. MJ before Pippen, and other key components which become a dynasty, MJ was getting ousted in playoffs. What would have been cool to see? MJ and Pippen go to the Wizards…… Do they still win?🤔

  4. Im.a bird, magic, mj fan. To me, they're nba's holy trinity

    And yes, i consider '80s celtics/lakers and '90s bulls as superteams. Esp against their respective eras. No other team could touch them. And that's the diff, they became dominant DYNASTIES

    No other superteam that came after them, ever came close to the dominance these 3 dynasties had

  5. In reality the bulls played once that year in Utah.
    The Bulls were up big after one quarter and lost by 8.

    Longly had 8 points and made one field goal.
    He had 11 rebounds and one block (not 12 and four)

    5 rebounds were after the first quarter.

    At no point was he dominating.

    It's hilarious nobody fact checks this stuff.

  6. Can't be true… Jordan didn't need anyone to win a game. His killer instinct would of made him score 100 by himself…

  7. Luc was 1 of 3 centers that played that night. It was a bad night for all the centers but Luc was our main center and he took the brunt of it.

  8. I burningly ask the question why didn't he beat Orlando in 95, is it because he knew Houston was unbeatable that year?!!!!?
    Because he didn't want to lose in the finals and knew he would lose against Houston and he just decides to let Orlando win?!!!!?

    This is before Rodman.
    The season before he came to Chicago to be exact.

    95 finals should have been Bulls vs Rockets

    That was the series we never got to see
    Because mj didn't want to have a finals loss.

  9. Im not surprised Luka is just like all European players. They don't have killer mentality. Jordan can't understand most players are not like him.

  10. People pay attention. Listen to what he just said. Pippin, Pippin, was the key 🔑 to all of theses championships.
