Former Chicago Bulls Guard Pushes Michael Jordan For a Proper Reunion
In case you need a refresher, the Chicago Bulls honored their 1994-95 championship team in January 2024. However, Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman didn’t show up. The 30-year mark of the second three-peat is nearing, but former Bulls Guard Randy Brown is putting on a full-court press, texting his former teammates in the hopes of a proper reunion.
“I’m not going to let it go,” Brown said in an exclusive interview with ESportsBets. “I’m hoping it will happen sooner rather than later. Even though everyone’s read in the media about Michael and Scottie’s differences, all that stuff, I hope it can all come to fruition, that we can hug each other one last time. And then from there, we can see where it goes.”

“I’m not going to stop. I’m a point guard, and Michael taught me to be a leader. I’m going to use my leadership qualities to stay connected to all of my guys.”
Brown on the Buzz In Chicago About a Potential Reunion
“That’s the talk of the town … I understand everyone goes on with their lives. You’ve got kids, grandkids. A couple of my teammates have kids playing. So, you lose focus of that a little bit. But I try to be that team guy. I’m on a text chain with all my guys. I’m never going to let it go. I want all my guys to get together one last time before it’s finally over, because we need to be recognized.”
Brown on Wishing the Bulls Chased a Fourth Straight Title
“After one last dinner after the championship, we were never together again. I had a feeling (it was over) when Phil Jackson had us sit in a room with some incense, and we put things in a bottle. That’s when it started to sink in, like, ‘Is this really the Last Dance?’
“But 50 games with that team? We win 35 and try to defend what was ours. I believe if it wasn’t a strike season, I think Jerry Krause would have asked Phil Jackson to come back and coach, and I think Phil Jackson would have struggled through his physical issues and went for another year.”
Brown On the Breakup Of the Bulls’ Dynasty
“It was sad, man. The ball started rolling when Phil had his surgery. Michael, I think, had a very serious injury that summer. You started seeing pieces move around, and when I go to the locker room, it’s only myself, Ron Harper, Toni Kukoc and Dickey Simpkins with a bunch of kids.
Brown On Jordan Returning To the Spotlight With NBA On NBC Sports
“The NBA needs Michael Jordan’s face. What he brings to the game is important for it to expand. So, whenever I see my guy on TV, I’m excited. I value his insight.”
Brown On Why Jordan Won’t Ever Become a Talking Head
“It doesn’t do any good for him. What I do like is consistently hearing the players say, ‘Hey, I got a chance to talk to Michael.’ It’s off-camera and it’s a personal conversation. I don’t think it will ever get to a point where he is consistently critiquing today’s players. That’s not in his nature.”
Brown On the Jordan vs. LeBron GOAT Debate
“What Michael Jordan brought to the game was extraordinary. He’s clearly the best guy to ever put on a uniform. 6-0 in the Finals. He set the standard of what the NBA should be, in uniform and when that uniform comes off. There’s no comparison between Michael and LeBron. LeBron should be compared to Scottie Pippen and Magic Johnson, as far as basketball abilities.”
Brown On Jordan’s Softer Side
“When I came to the Bulls – I’m a point guard and can pick up offenses quickly, but I suffered with the Triangle (Triangle Offense). I fell out of the rotation and wasn’t playing, but not one day did Michael not treat me as a teammate.
“He held me accountable, saying, ‘Hey, until you get the Triangle, you’re not going to play.’ But Michael took me under his wing. Every single morning, we’d go on the court, doing 1-on-1 stuff. I was a really good defender, but that taught me to be a better defender, practicing against this guy.”
Brown On Dennis Rodman
“I love him. I still talk to my guy. When Dennis Rodman became my teammate with the Bulls, I had two tattoos. Because of him, now I have 18, so you can tell how close we are.”
