Few players and teams have enjoyed the kind of mythical fame that Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls did in the early 90s. It’s easy to look back at it now knowing that they would win 6 championships and saying that it makes sense they were that popular. But in 1992, when they had won just 2 and MJ and Scottie Pippen had been on the Dream Team, the noise around them had already reached a fever pitch. 

Fans would follow the team members when they saw them outside, people would throng hotels and stadiums trying to get an autograph. Michael Jordan was the main attraction, and it was so intense for him, that he admitted that people didn’t understand how hard it was to live like that. But everyone at that time wanted to be like Mike and be a Chicago Bull, so it’s fun to get a peek behind the curtain and see what they were actually like. 


An Old Video Showing The Chicago Bulls’ Day Before A Game In 1992 Has Resurfaced

The one thing that people don’t talk about enough is how grueling the NBA season is for the players. Playing 82 games, many of them with a 1 or 2-day interval across the country can get tiring. And 1992 was the era before load management, so the Bulls‘ stars were always on the floor. A media crew followed them around during a game in that season, capturing various aspects of their day.

Whenever Michael Jordan would stay anywhere, even the staff at the hotel would be doing everything they could to get an autograph or a smile from His Airness. This video shows how bad they would feel when he rejected them as well. Horace Grant’s comments about someone following them even when they wanted to use the restroom show exactly how wild the situation had gotten. 

But there is also something to be said about how routine the Bulls made all the attention look. Their shootaround and pre-game discussion seemed to move along flawlessly, something that is a sign of excellent team culture. And the day this was filmed, Michael Jordan dropped 56 points at Madison Square Garden. So no matter how many distractions presented themselves, MJ and the Bulls had their priorities locked. No wonder they are thought of as the greatest team of all time by many.
