The Bulls have had to play a lot of games this decade to win those titles. That's what wears down championship teams. You never know at what point they're going to break down, but the Bulls held up." 

Thank you, Michael...

"Six rings. Six Finals MVP Awards. And Jordan acknowledges that he has set yet another standard by fighting off all the pesky challengers once more. He says an NBA title won by some other franchise after he is retired will be instantly devalued because 'they didn't beat Michael.'"
