Immediately after the 90’s championship run, the Chicago Bulls dynasty fell apart. During this period, Michael Jordan gave the Bulls their sixth championship. Within six months, the Bulls collapsed as Ron Harper, Toni Kukoč, Dickey Simpkins, Rusty LaRue, and Bill Wennington were the only players remaining.

Other than these players, most players left the team for a variety of reasons, such as free agency, being traded, being cut, or choosing to retire. It was hard for Jerry Krause, who was the general manager during that time, to rebuild the Bulls just as it was before. The effort ultimately failed.

During a podcast interview on “The Draymond Green Show“. Zach LaVine discussed the opportunity of reviving the Bulls from the Jordan era slump.

We also saw in the documentary “The Last Dance” that Phil Jackson announced before the championship that it would be his last season as part of the Bulls fabric. The announcement was made due to disagreements with Krause. After winning the championship, Jackson resigned with the Bulls.

The Bulls’ comeback was the topic of Draymond’s question to LaVine. He then mentioned the past situation with Krause. LaVine spoke about his experience with a rebuilding team.

As he mentioned, he was in the right place at the right time, and that presented an opportunity for him to showcase his talent. LaVine said, “It was a great opportunity for me to go up there and showcase all of the work, I’ve put in the off-season. You know because I work out and I trained.”

“You know like I said not to be a number two, number three, I work out and I want to be a superstar and that’s what I work for”. He concluded that with all the hard work he has been putting in, he was ready for the opportunity.
