- He said his relationship with Michael Jordan was never very close and noted that Jordan does not attend Bulls reunions, while stressing their on-court chemistry.
- He highlighted Chicago’s six championships together and declined to name a single GOAT, citing Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson as examples within a team context.
- He questioned whether today’s stars like Nikola Jokic or Luka Doncic would dominate under the physical play of the late 1980s and 1990s and said Bulls-Warriors outcomes would depend on the rules.
- He said a European NBA conference “would make sense” given the sport’s growth and called Madrid a strong venue city, even suggesting it could host future Olympic Games.
