Heat Legend’s “Chills” From Michael Jordan’s Theme Music Enough to Snub LeBron James

Michael Jordan, donning the Chicago Bulls jersey, entered the court with an aura of invincibility. Altogether, the 90s Bulls were one of the most formidable teams. They were so iconic that even years after Jordan’s dominance, their theme can send chills down the spines of players. In a recent interview, a certain Miami Heat legend didn’t even hesitate to remove Lakers star LeBron James from his list and instead, placed the Bulls legend at the top spot.

Former Miami Heat star Udonis Haslem made an appearance in the recent episode of the OGs. While talking about the GOATs of the league, he also mentioned his favorite.

Udonis Haslem detailed the impact of the Chicago Bulls theme song

During the exciting conversation, he spoke about the impact Jordan had in the 90s: a tidal wave that changed the entire scene of the basketball game and the NBA. While he sent ripples through the business realm after his playing days, Jordan was dominating the league in his basketball career. Speaking of the legend, Haslem said, “No disrespect Lebron and all those guys love those guys but MJ is my goat if you grew up in that era that f*****g (theme) when you hear that for the first time in person that s**t give you chills.” Speaking of LeBron, he said, “I’m older than Bron that’s (why) I didn’t have to watch him growing up. I watched MJ growing up.”

He also mentioned the intro theme for Bulls. As most fans would remember, the song struck fear into the hearts of their opponents, as the music heightened the anticipation of witnessing Jordan’s unparalleled prowess. While he certainly doesn’t mean any disrespect towards his former teammate, Haslem emphasized the real meaning behind choosing His Airness over King James. The oldest Heat player also recalled how the Bulls successfully managed to break the Heat’s 27-game winning streak.

Chicago Bulls stopped the Miami Heat from making history

Let’s head back to 2013 when the Miami Heat secured the second-longest single-season win streak. Just as they were 6 steps away from making history, the James-led team had to say goodbye to their hopes. Ending their 27-game winning streak, the Chicago Bulls beat the Heat, 101-97.

Despite James’ massive contribution of 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 blocks, he couldn’t defeat the Bulls. 6 more wins would have led the team to break the 33-game streak of the Los Angeles Lakers. Do you remember that game? What are your thoughts? Share with us in the comments section below.
