Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Must have DVDs!!!
Review: This box set is excellent. I've been wanting old Bulls games on DVD for the longest time now. And with an official release from the NBA, this is great. Contains the old NBC coverage with Marv Albert. Now I just wish the NBA would release box sets of full series, from the 1st round to the Finals. Who can forget the Bulls/Knicks series in 1992 and 1993? I need these games!!!

Note, there's a misprint in the box set. Inside, where it lists the Bulls Finals wins, it says 4 GAMES TO 3 in 1993, against the Suns. Should say 4 GAMES TO 2. This mistake takes nothing away from the box set.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Completion of Memory
Review: This is a great idea and great release for the 90's Bulls dynasty DVD set, this is the one you need to buy. More than enjoy watching MJ and the Bulls of their great championship seasons, it brought you back your memory. All these familiar plays once again expose before you! At this price, it's super value. The contents are good enough, what can you ask for more?
Just a bit complaint on the box package design... For a set like this, it deserves a better box.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but lacking
Review: You'll read other reviews who praise this DVD simply because of the subject matter. I shall not do that. Yes, the Bulls of this era were incredible, but just because this DVD awr focuses upon them doesn't mean that the DVD set itself is incredible.

In this set we are treated to a number of features, including a "history" of the bulls, along with recaps of each of their championships and six "complete" games, one from each of their championship runs.

Why they entitled the "history of the chicago bulls," as they did is beyond me. This is no history. This is a brief rundown of their lack of a championship with an extremely short runtime and a mention of Jordan as a segway into the discs other features. This might actually be the only new content on the disc, as all of the other features (even the games) are taken from content that has ran on NBA TV for quite some time.

As for the recaps of each of their championship runs, they are certainly full of great footage and interviews but they certainly show their age as they are not new. As I said before, each of these has already been broadcast on NBA TV numerous times and if you've seen it once the suspense is lacking. Replay value is at a minimum here.

While listed as the "Extra Features," the games featured on the set are actually the bread and butter. Presented just as they were when originally broadcast the quality of the games is superb. But wait. What's this? They slice out parts of the games? You'll find yourself wondering what happened when you miss an entire 8 minutes of the first quarter. Why? Because the games, too, are part of the "NBA's Greatest Games" series broadcast on NBA TV and were edited to run in the time alotted by that channel. I don't know about you but when I buy a DVD and it lists a game as this set does I don't expect this kind of cheesy lack of presentation. I want to see the game!

Long story short, it's a good set and worth the $40 price tag (depending on where you get it) but don't be disappointed if you don't see anything new. And be prepared to be annoyed when parts of your favorite games are edited out to make room for non-existent commercials.
