Entering the 1988-89 season, the Pistons were battle tested and hungry. They had spent the last few years battling the Bulls and Celtics, and were coming off a 4-3 loss to the Lakers in the NBA Finals. As the Pistons were set to resume the season after the All-Star break, Jack McCloskey pulled the trigger on a surprise trade, sending fan favorite Adrian Dantley to Dallas for Mark Aguirre, coincidently the number one pick in the 1981 NBA Draft. The Pistons finished the season with a team-record 63 wins, including an astounding record of 30-4 after the Aguirre-for-Dantley trade. The Pistons faced the Boston Celtics in the first round. This would be the fourth time in five seasons that the two teams met in the post-season. Not only was there a hatred amongst the teams on the court, but the venom spread to the pages of newspapers and magazines. Both Celtics play-by-play man Johnny Most and team President Red Auerbach said that the Pistons were classless bullies. Their words, however, did not stop the Pistons, who swept the Celtics in three games. Next up: the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pistons dismantled the Bucks in four games, including overcoming a 21-point deficit in Game Four. Next on the agenda was Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Jordan predicted that the Bulls would win the series if they could win Game One at The Palace. Behind Jordans 32 points, the Bulls won the game 94-88. The Pistons would win Games Two, Four and Five, and needed only Game Six in Chicago to …

Tasty (but — as it seemed just four and a half months later – fortunately premature) farewell show — on November 1st – for MJ in the new Bulls’ home: United Centre. Friend and sport anchor Ahmad Rashad invites a whole range of sport personalities among the star-studded crowd to the stage, joining him and Jordan. Dean Smith, Bobby Knight, Spike Lee, Scotty Pippen, Phil Jackson, John Paxson and Jerry Krause contribute ‘live’ while others (Larry Bird & Magic Johnson) appear on video. Phil Jackson predicts — part 6 – MJ’s return to basketball and even ‘sees’ him play ‘until he is 40′! Together with Larry King and Jerry Reinsdorf (who then actually believed in Jordan’s career with his White Sox) a stature of Michael is being disclosed in front of United Centre. Michael Jordan jokingly escapes from Rashad’s pleas to come back to the game NOW and delivers a great ‘Thank you’ speech (part 11) before his 23 number is being ‘retired’ (also premature …) and sent to the rafters by MJ and his kids!
