In hindsight, it is really funny to see archived footage of Walt Frazier and Mark Eaton throw away the idea of a rookie Michael Jordan changing the entire Chicago Bulls franchise by himself.
In a less-than-VHS-quality recording of Frazier shown in ESPN’s Jordan documentary, The Last Dance, the Hall of Famer wasn’t too keen on the idea of the young guard taking over the NBA:
“Michael’s got to realize that he’s not seven-foot, so he’s not going to carry a team in the NBA. I think he will be a great addition to the Bulls and should draw fans to the game, but it takes more than one guy to win games.
