The regaling of glory days is a tricky business.

There are always those who overdo it, inundating anyone who will listen about the past, which has always remained far greater than anything accomplished in the present.

As players such as Toni Kukoc, Luc Longley, Dickey Simpkins and Steve Kerr reminisced about a historic season that helped cement the Bulls’ franchise, the commentary was still notable more than a quarter-century later.
