Alright, so I decided to really get into the weeds with the 1992-93 Chicago Bulls season recently. It wasn’t just about looking up the final record; I wanted to kind of relive it, document the journey, you know?
First off, I just sat down and tried to recall what I remembered. The big stuff, sure – the third championship, MJ, Pippen, the usual suspects. But the details? A bit hazy after all these years. So, that was my starting point: just dumping whatever I could remember onto a notepad.
Then came the actual digging. I pulled out a box I had stored away, found some old basketball magazines from ’92 and ’93. Flipping through those brittle pages brought back quite a bit. Seeing the photos, reading the old articles – it jogged the memory.
I also spent a considerable amount of time searching through digital newspaper archives and sports statistics sites. Had to be careful, though, some sites have weird data. I tried to cross-reference things between a few sources just to be sure the scores and basic stats lined up.
The best part? I managed to get my hands on recordings of several key games from that season. The playoff series against the Knicks and the Finals against Phoenix, especially. Actually watching those games again was crucial. It’s different than just reading a box score. You see the flow, the effort, the big plays as they happened.
Putting it Together
As I was gathering stuff, I started organizing. I decided to focus on a few key areas:
- Tracking the regular season game-by-game results. Just simple win/loss and score.
- Noting down standout performances, like when MJ or Scottie really went off.
- Making a list of the big moments – buzzer-beaters, tough losses, turning points in the playoffs.
- Adding some context – injuries, any drama I remembered or read about.
I spent hours watching clips, pausing, rewinding, jotting down notes. Who scored the key baskets? What was the score at halftime? Stuff like that. It was slow going sometimes. You find yourself just watching the game instead of taking notes!
Verifying information was a bit tricky. Sometimes my memory clashed with what a source said, so I’d try to find a third source or watch the game segment again if I could. It wasn’t about being perfect down to the last assist, but getting the overall picture right.
Finally, I compiled all my notes, the stats I’d confirmed, and the key moments into a single document. Read it through a few times, tried to make it flow like a season recap from my perspective. It’s not a professional analysis, just my own record of revisiting that incredible run.
It was a fun process, honestly. Took more time than I expected, but really satisfying to have this detailed look back at that specific Bulls team and their journey to the third ring. What a season that was.
