As a kid, this was my one and only chance to see Michael Jordan play, in person. I knew the Mavs were a really bad team, but Reunion was sold out that night just to see the Bulls play. As I recall, Jordan sat out the 4th quarter and Stacy King wound up leading in scoring. That’s pretty funny, in retrospect.
Horace Grant was/is very underappreciated for the Bulls. Dude played his ass off. Gave ya points (even a nice jumper), hit the boards, and was a damn good shot blocker. If this team (MJ, Pip, Grant, BJ, and whoever in the middle) would have stayed together All the way through the 90s....they sure would've been fun to watch. Maybe even as fun as the mid/late 90s Bulls..... maybe.
Those early 90s Mavs teams were pretty damn awful before Jason Kidd, Jimmy Jackson and Jamal Mashburn. I remember the Bulls usually had a part of the road trip referred to as the Texas Triangle because they would play Houston, San Antonio and Dallas on that trip. Dallas at that time was just about an automatic win because San Antonio and Houston always gave the Bulls problems with their all world centers. The first 3-peat Bulls had some damn good shooters in John Paxson, BJ Armstrong, Craig Hodges and Trent Tucker.
Incidentally, this was from JJ’s rookie season, but he held out over contract disputes until late in the year. They were arguably just as bad the next season, with the addition of Mashburn. Kidd was the missing ingredient. Unfortunately, the magic didn’t have time to grow and we had to watch a few more years of bad basketball, haha!
Mavs weren’t that trash to me back then but my Bulls stans destroyed me every time I put on the cape. I kept tellin’ them “you try going against MJ 🤬.”

According to Kyle Wright’s ‘The NBA from Top to Bottom’, the 1992/1993 Mavericks were clearly the worst team in NBA history, with an average point differential of -15.2. Only the 7-59 2011/2012 Bobcats, who post-date that book, are otherwise below -12. The Mavericks were 4-57 after 61 games (on pace for a 5-77 record which would easily be the worst in NBA history) but after signing draft choice Jim Jackson they improved to finish 7-14 in their last 21 games and finish 11-71, which is still the fourth-worst win-loss record with easily the worst point differential.
The team in ‘94 was pretty bad, too. At one point, that team was on pace to finish worse than this team did. Going by record the Sixers from like 72-73 had the worst record of all time at 9-73. Someone else mentioned the Bobcats, but that was a shortened season. They likely would’ve finished better than 11-71. There was also a Nuggets team around 97 or 98 that went 10-72, I think. Basically, the Mavs of the ‘90s were like the NFL “Bungles” of the ‘90s, haha!

This Mavs team is one of the two or three worst teams in league history, right?

They were 3-33 going into this game. They were 4-57 at one point during this season.

Although in one aspect the 2012 Bobcats are worse; nobody on the team finished the season with a positive plus/minus
Dallas run gun team in mid 90s
