Bulls-Blazers [1992]: American Disease!

A Story by Abishai100

Fans recount the 1991-1992 NBA rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trailblazers and why it generated 'American' dance.

Since I loved the way my Duke-UNC sports fanfare tale turned out, I decided to offer this extra-special magical fairy-tale nod to the quite impressive Bulls-Blazers [1992] rivalry and NBA finals, which inspired a rather cool and iconic Sega video-game in the 1990s. Enjoy (signing off again),

The 1991-1992 Portland Trailblazers (NBA) boasted an immaculate squad. There were reliable centers and forwards, incredible guard-play, and excellent stars including Clyde "The Glide" Drexler, Kevin Duckworth, Jerome Kersey, Buck Williams, and Cliff Robinson, a teffific 6th Man. The 1992 Blazers rolled into the NBA Finals to face the Goliath Chicago Bulls, led by the all-time titan Michael Jordan. Nevertheless, the Blazers remained very confident and imaginative.

Because of the thrill of the anticipation of this 1992 NBA Finals, two NBA fans, one a Blazers fan and the other a Bulls fan, both college buddies, decided to recount this exciting NBA season. For these two college buddies, the 1992 NBA Finals represented a flowery of pre-Coronavirus TV confetti. They remembered the incredible regular-season November 1991 Blazers-Bulls double-overtime game which was a precursor to the actual Finals. The college buddy who's the Blazers fan for that season is Isaac Satan, a diamond merchant in California.

ISAAC: I love the Blazers and that 1991-1992 squad for its incredible mix of talent and leadership and awesome fanfare!

The college buddy who's the Bulls fan for that NBA season is Ali Fahd, a Saudi prince who went to UCLA with Isaac and cheered on the Bruins NCAAB team against mighty Duke Blue Devils. Ali believes the Chicago Bulls, thanks to the titan Michael Jordan, is forever canonized as the ultimate sports team of dreams and American ambition. That's why he's thinking of the Chicago Bulls as the trophy-squad for the 1992 NBA Finals.

ALI: No one doubts the excellence of those Chicago Bulls, and that 1992 Finals came before Jordan's first exit!

Ali's Persian girlfriend Jennifer also shares his love of the Chicago Bulls and despises the fanfare raised by the rival Portland Trailblazers that 1991-1992 season. You see, that November 1991 of that season, the double-overtime game between the Blazers and Bulls had everyone talking about how a team would actually stir daydreams raised against even the likes of the titan Bulls. Jennifer, like Ali, detests such anti-Bulls glitter!

Nevertheless, despite all this bias and fan diagonal, the Bulls-Blazers rivalry did generate an awesome Sega video-game.

Since the quarantine era of the Coronavirus shift in Earth management began, humanity turned its eyes towards the resources of indoor media for work, study, entertainment, and communications. Everything was now virtually indoors, so YouTube celebrations of that iconic 1992 Bulls-Blazers rivalry would reinforce a special quarantine imaginarium for American sports...and sports marketing!

Despite that nail-biting regular-season double-overtime game between the 91-92 Blazers and Bulls, the 1992 NBA Finals were simply seen as the 4-2 victory clear and simple by the Bulls. Nevertheless, the two games won by the upstart rival Blazers, Games 2 and 4, were still nail-biting close-scoring games, and one was an overtime game! This proved that the 91-92 Bulls-Blazers rivalry was worth its special weight in [Youtube] gold.

The greatest matchup everyone wanted to see in that Bulls-Blazers rivalry was between the basketball 'deity' Michael Jordan and the Blazers hot-captain Clyde Drexler ("Clyde the Glide"). The Jordan-Drexler parallax proved to be a nice fanfare marketing angle for that special NBA season, now commemorated rather conspicuously on YouTube.

Now, we all know that Bulls Blazers game are still exciting to this day, but it was arguably that 1991-1992 NBA season that really hoisted this matchup as worthy of indoor folklore for American fans and audiences.

SPORTS-WRITER: It's true the Blazers 2 victories during the 92 Finals pronounced the elegance of the hyped rivalry.

SPORTS-WRITER: It had to be the dominance of Michael Jordan that'd lift the Bulls to the level of immortals.

Jordan was glowing after his mighty Bulls captured their title and snatched it simply away from the aspiring and inspired Portland team. Chicago would bring home yet another feather for American history and culture and eventually for YouTube fans of the NBA.
