kevC's Classic Teams' "Dynasty" (Bulls vs. Magic)

[kevC]

I've always wanted to do a dynasty but didn't really have time. So I came up with an idea that won't be too much commitment but can still be fun. This is basically a pick up game style "winner stays" kind of a deal except with the best teams in NBA history. I'll play a game with two of the classic teams from benji's roster and whoever wins plays the next classic team I will choose by request.

Details:

8 Minute Quarters
All-Star Difficulty
benji's roster
benji's slider settings

Teams to choose from:

1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers
1988-89 Detroit Pistons
1991-92 Chicago Bulls
1992-93 Phoenix Suns
1994-95 Houston Rockets
1994-95 Orlando Magic
2003-04 Detroit Pistons
1985-86 Boston Celtics
1986-87 Los Angeles Lakers
1995-96 Chicago Bulls
1995-96 Seattle SuperSonics

What a beast


Fade away... and make it Worthy

Recap:

1st Half...

The game started off as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar easily tipped to ball from Luc Longley to Magic Johnson. The 1st quarter was a mess. No other way to put it. The supposed two best teams in NBA history played like a bunch of high schoolers: bad passes, stepping out of bounds, missing point blank shots... The Bulls were the first to get a grip and pretty much cruised all the way from that point. After a Pippen 3 pointer and a Longley put-back dunk, the Bulls finally got things going offensively ending the quarter on a 9-2 run. The Lakers managed to score an embarrassing 16 points while letting the Bulls score 23. 2nd quarter the Lakers finally got things going as Kareem made his signature sky hooks twice in a row. Magic Johnson also lived up to his name as he blew by Ron Harper in several occasion for the easy lay-up. They finally tied the game at 27 but unfortunately for the Lakers, that was the closest they will get. The rest of the first half was pretty much neck and neck as both team traded baskets. The Bulls, however, got a nice surprise on the offensive end from Dennis Rodman as he hustled for 4 offensive rebounds, putting back 3 of them. Scottie Pippen was also on fire from the 3 point line as he sank two more in the quarter. The half ended with the Bulls on top 43-39.

2nd Half...

As expected, Michael Jordan stole the show as the 2nd half began. While he "only" scored 9 points in the first half shooting 4-13, the beginning few minutes of the 2nd half was a whole new story. He poured in 14 points for the quarter and single-handedly put the Bulls up by 12 for the quarter. He made fadeaways, along with break away dunks, and forced 3 steals. The only bright spot for the Lakers was Magic Johnson who continued to score inside but was limited in his passing as the Bulls played the passing lane perfectly. For the game Magic had 5 turnovers and the Lakers had 22 in total. The quarter ended with the Bulls on top 72-60. The 4th quarter was rather boring as the Bulls' rallied on. The Lakers did manage to cut it down to 7 with 6 minutes to go as Worthy and Kareem abused the Bulls' 2nd string front court. After substituting for the starters again (except Kukoc), the Bulls widened the gap with MJ, Pippen, and Kukoc doing the scoring. The game ended 98-81.

The player of the game honor went to Dennis Rodman who grabbed 14 boards while scoring 14 points (7/8) mostly off putbacks. He also blocked two shots and got 3 steals.

Key players:

Lakers
Magic Johnson: 24 pts, 3 rebs, 3 assists
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 18 pts, 5 rebs
Byron Scott and James worthy also had 9 pts apiece

Bulls
Michael Jordan: 31 pts (12/31) 2 rebs, 3 assists
Scottie Pippen: 18 pts (3/3 from the 3), 4 rebs, 2 assists
Dennis Rodman: 14 pts, 14 rebs, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 3 steals
Luc Longley and Kukoc both scored 12 points apiece

Yes I controlled the Bulls and it was too easy... perhaps I should upgrade to Superstar

So who should the mighty Bulls play next? (I'll control who plays them so Bulls don't win every game)

[Emiliano]

You probably should go to Superstar, anyways great win.
You should play the 94-95 Magic!

[-BHZMAFIA-]

Some of those cyberfaces are real good, "MJ being black" yea thats why he is so great You need to play on superstar because any other mode is way to easy.

[Keo]

Game recap looks great. I also suggest that you switch to Superstar.

[Stella-Artois]

Cept the 2001 Lakers instead of 2000.

[Sac-1]

You killed them...i think you should switch to superstar and adjust your sliders...good luck next game

[Buckley]

this is interesting..........just make sure the 82-83 sixers are the best in the end .


good luck next game...

[Jackal]

Nice idea here KevC, entertaining & not too time consuming either. Crisp presentation too.
