Why did Portland draft Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan?

Like real basketball, as well as basketball video games? Talk about the NBA, NCAA, and other professional and amateur basketball leagues here.

everytime Australian TV shows footage of Longley it's always the same clip.....Jordan driving to the hole a passing the ball to Longley who hits a short baseline J....i swear that's his best play ever...hahah

Longley wasn't great, but he was what the Bulls needed him to be. In the end that's all that matters.

He was good and probably one of the best players to come out of Australia, but he didn't play such a pivotal role for the bulls as Jordan or Pippen. He was a good support for them to win games and probably would have lost some games had he not been around.


No question, but he did what was asked of him and his numbers during the second threepeat were solid, role player numbers. That's as far as I'll go, though he has been the most successful Australian in the NBA. Bogut has a good chance to surpass him, at least in terms of his role and statistics.

Statistics...of course. Bogut will surpass Longleys stats. Not a prob.
Preparation will only take you so far. After that you've got to take a few leaps of faith.

What bandwagon are you refering to? I'm not a Bulls fan nor have I ever been.
