Welcome to The Press Room
WHERE THE PLAYERS TALK
These quotes are taken from the Grant Park
Rally in Chicago
The five trophies raised high in the air in Chi-town's
Grant Park Celebration
Michael Jordan
"From all the players and all the coaches and all the Bulls
organization, what we want to say is that this championship goes out
to all the working people here in the city of Chicago that goes to work
every single day that bust their butts to make a living, and what
we do, we come in two hours out of a day to give you a break and
have something to cheer about. And have something to be proud
about when you go to another city. So hopefully, come 1998, you
guys can go out and celebrate and go back to every city and say we won
number six. Hopefully number seven, number eight, number nine,
number ten......" Michael Jordan
sat back down to the cheers of, "Bring him back! Bring him
back!"

"I'll keep this short, and I'll keep it clean. You know, a lot
of people have criticized me for all the things I've done
and all the things I've said. And the NBA has done a lot of things
to me to try to keep me down. But, a lot of things I've said
about the Utah people and the people that live in Utah, I apologize
for that. But, you know what, there's just so much you can do to
kick a man down. But I say the hell with the NBA, I'll be back,
baby."
Ron Harper
"I'd like to say thanks to my teammates, the coaching staff, the
organization, and the fans of Chicago. And hopefully, they can
come back and do it again."
Scottie Pippen
Pip
"I just want to thank you fans for your support this season. I've
been here ten long seasons, we've been able to get you all five
great championship seasons. We look forward to bringing it back for number six. So let's come on back and get down for our
crown."Steve Kerr: the joke of the day
"A lot of people have been asking me about the shot the other
night. When
we called time-out with twenty-five seconds to go,
we went into the
huddle and Phil told Michael, he said, "Michael, I want you to take the last shot."
And Michael said, "You know, Phil, I don't feel real comfortable
in these situations. So, maybe we ought to go in another
direction."
And then Scottie came in and said,
"You know, Phil, Michael said in his commercial that he's been
asked to do this twenty-six times and he's failed. So, why
don't we go to Steve?"
So I thought to myself, "Well, I guess I have to bail Michael out
again. But I've been carrying him all year, so what's one more
time?""

enough for embracing me; the coaches, the players, the
whole organization, thank you from the bottom of my heart."A picture of last year's Grant Park Rally
