If you’re going to build the 96’ Bulls you’re going to have to be very intentional about building your roster.
You’re going to need some great role players like Ron Harper, Steve Kerr and Bill Wennington. A sharp shooter like Tony Kukoc is a beneficial addition. An edgy rebounder like Dennis Rodman. And underneath all of that you’re going to want elite skill level, vision, competitive drive and determination from one of the best duos in sports…Jordan and Pippen.
It’s really hard to build the 96’ Bulls but when you do…you get the 96’ Bulls. A team that will be remembered and referenced and chased forever.
On the other hand…
If you’re building a Ford…the whole point is that it doesn’t matter who is on the roster. That’s what makes it a Ford. Interchangeable parts. If Bill can’t make it in, Bob will be just fine. And when it comes to a Ford, thank goodness…because if Bill’s quality is way better than Bob’s, no one is going to want Bob’s Ford.
Ford is reliable, steady, unvaried.
The 96’ Bulls are magical, elusive, inspirational and only happen once every twenty or thirty years.
Most of us get caught in the middle, wanting the reliability of Ford but the magic of the Bulls. And in doing so get neither.
